And the lolhydrabust isn't? At least this was exciting and actually requires quite a bit of skill to pull off.
Hydra busting requires skill, sorry.
Amusingly, I played off-race against a friend of mine (where I played zerg and he played his main race, protoss). Wow, was the hyrda bust easy money. Granted, neither of us are paricularly skilled (C+ ish back in my ICCUP days), buy hydra busting against most protoss wasn't particularly difficult. It's much like going two gate - does it require skill? Sure! But damn is it cheesy and easy.
What I'm trying to say is this: the lolhyrdabust is an embarrassment in comparison to Jangbi's superb build we just witnessed. No need to get frustrated with "ugh, digusting protoss!" Zerg already enjoys the biggst race vs. race advantage in the game.

There are many semi all ins possible with one base tech, the hard part is guessing which one.
Yeah, and I'm quite sure DT rush is among the least common. One-base sair into expand, one-base goon-reaver, any sort of 2-gate build, but can't even remember when I last saw 1-base DT. It seem extremely hard to guess in cross-positions.

Well, as I was saying, I've seen it a lot in the foreign scene and on streams recently, and one base is so rare on pro level anyway... Hate one gate tech almost as much as two gate.
