I dont think 3 hatch hydra is a cheese build anymore and can become standard just like 3 hatch fast spire.I see it regularly on good sospa afreeca players.They dont go all in except if they really hide their fast den and they go for fast kill.Three hatch hydra that Hero is doing offen is a safe opening even if scouted,they make just 6-8 hydras for forcing some extra cannons and destroying forge gateway and they keep pumping drones after that.

3hatch + double hydra den for upgrades its almost allin, unless u do significant dmg, which allow you to make transition into mid/late game [which hero did btw]

agree with you here about that game with that double den...i was speaking generally,and i think 3 hatch hydra its a versatile opening and a safe one if u dont exagerate with hydra production.ABout his versatility i can give an example of Larva-Movie game that was in sospa some time ago and where larva did 3 hatch den opening (placed in main and natural) and after that wich he double expand into 6 hatch hydra and completely overwhelmed Movie.
I think 3 hatch hydra has big potential not by just puting some pressure on toss slowing his eco and cutting his +1 zelot timing by destroing his forge but even in macro and can give a better advantage in drone count compared to 3 hatch spire where u sacrifice some eco into fast tech.

I'm glad Sea got knocked out. He was never as much as he was hyped up to be. Though I do wish there were more terrans in this SSL
Long live BroodWar!

When CBY drew Sea and then Movie for the same group she immediately started apologizing.. so I think he must've said something like he doesn't want to face Movie (or protoss in general?) before in the interview. Too lazy to look it up.

She asked sea after the finals match in the interview who he wants to avoid and sea said he'd like to avoid Protoss. She jokingly said something like "I'll take a peak and try to not get protoss" and then she ended up matching sea up with toss lol

I really would prefer groups of 6 people, where everybody plays everybody Bo3. At the end top3 places qualify. I know, it would mean a lot of games. We could say top2 qualify to make the tournament shorter.

Isn't that what they do for Code S SC2 groups? The current format is fine as it is, especially since there's not an overwhelming number of players like SC2 has, so there's no reason to expand the number of players per group.

Broodwar is also not a volatile as SC2. I think it should be all Bo3 though. But then again: You have to win 2 or 3 games (depending on the route) to advance but you have to at least lose 3 matches to drop out. I think it's fair.

really entertaining series (the pvts and zvp that i watched, skipped the zvz/tvz lol) today, this ssl feels a lot like the old msl/osl and im making an effort to catch more games now

about hero vs movie, hero was definitely ahead all game (killing all the probes in the natural and losing almost no hydras is pretty big..) until the point where movies attack at his 3rd forced him into a horrible position and he lost that base, at which point he was behind, and only came back because he continuously denied movies 3rd base with excellent muta micro and guerrilla tactics


Hmm, to me I didn't really ever feel hero got behind. He lost his third and a good number of units defending, however he also blocked any attempts at movie getting up his own third, and movie was mined out in his main before even his first attack, and his natural ran dry shortly after the attack finished, whereas hero still had three operational bases (though main and nat were close to running dry).

EffOrt and Soulkey Hwaiting!

Jangbi and Zero haven't done that much in the BW community yet... I mean, neither has bisu, but he's part of TBLS.
