so CJ or at least hydra.. must be pretty confident to take the series no matter what. Or playing that strategy when everbody's sweating balls over 4th place -wouldn't make any sense.
SC2 is to BW, what coke is to wine.

I often use this strat when I play ZvT. Works really well for me.

Yeah overlords are overrated anyway


Really helps my macro out. Constantly having to reproduce overlords means it's a lot easier to keep my money low

Yeah. That's why I don't build gas. Where the build is really clever is that you don't need gas to make sunken.

In ZvT. I realized that you only need less than 2k gas.

All you need are cracklings for zerg to win the match-up

Crackling suck. Pure overlord and sunken, that's the way to go. You need a lot of sunken. At least 8 at each base, and keep putting more. It's very good against tanks

I popped in halfway through, but that looked entertaining as hell. Strategically, Hydra might have been lacking, but he didn't seem to be tactically clumsy. Looked entertaining enough, though without seeing the whole game my opinion doesn't carry much weight.


Wth are you talking about? just watch the game dude. LOL

Well with the not tactically clumsy thing I was mostly referring to the burrow plays, which seemed timely executed. In terms of entertainment value, it seemed like a game where the terran kept things lively while building up a game-winning push, which is certainly more viewer friendly than well-executed defense. Not only did he keep the pressure on, but he did it with both drops and vultures, which didn't feel too rote. I guess I have the opportunity to watch the replay now, but I'll certainly check out the vod.

EDIT: Yeah, it's pretty inscrutable. That generally adds to entertainment value though, in that it's a unique game. Like I said, I only saw the latter portion, but dismissing the game entirely as shitty play doesn't seem warranted. You should try to consider what he was thinking and also appreciate it for the spectacle.

To be fair to Hydra, he got totally meta-gamed. He scouted a rax-depot wall that was not making any marines and he didn't see a fast CC. With that information, he had to assume some sort of vulture/wraith/drop play. He thought he was going against mech right away. By the time he realized it was a 4rax timing attack, he would not even have a lair ready. He had no choice but to make 15+ sunks. Canata was already way ahead just from the fact Hydra had to make so many sunks.

Now, why would Ace want to do that?

IMO, FBH/Irisvs Horang2 or Snow.

Or

You go pure sunken against wraith?

Hydra's idea was to fast +1, fast hive/nydus the far base and crazy-zerg i guess. But maybe he depending on mech opening for that.

If Kal wins this then 5th match will probably be FBH or Iris right?


Right?!?
