hoping for teh hive tech in ZvZ finals
standard ZvZ in Brood War is beautiful enough. just want good games for the final
you cannot get a better chance for hive ZvZ than a ZerO v EffOrt finals this 2 are the only ones i see that still occasionally try to muck with hive zvz nowadays

Those mass drops are just so scary and there were so many points in the game were a little slip up by Effort would have won him the game. I was so tense throughout the game. The cruisers are also always part of the play to waste gas and all his scourges, though it often seems like he could be more effective with them. Zergs have/had a really hard time vs that strat and they are slowly adapting. It is really interesting seeing the progress over the last few weeks.
Pls no bully, Piano is awesome ;_; but so is Effort!
Yeah, BCs can make a lot of sense, but don't send them in 1-2 at a time so they're easy taken out by scourge. If you accumulate to at least 4-5, they would kill a lot more scourge I think and be much more harder to deal with for Zerg.
Well I don't think a terran can afford to wait and make 4 bcs then attack since he won't be making vessels during that time. Usually if the zerg doesn't expect it 2 bcs can actually do a lot of damage and can also knock a player off their rhythm but in Piano's case since he does it so often zergs expect it and the bcs end up not doing much.

How much better of a chance do you guys think since everyone (the pros) hates playing ZvZ these days?

i recall ZerO going for hive tech in a competitive COSL vs Fengzi a few months back, and also a few other games i can;t remember I remember seeing EffOrt going for fast defiler+plague after being behind in muta count in some random(?) ZvZ i saw some time back i don't recall hero/larva going for hive if ever, they struggle with regular zvz as it is. killer is inactive
not saying we will definitely see hive ZvZ obviously, 1 set of it is a nice chance i feel

Watching the VOD from EffOrt's perspective. Just a beastly performance throughout. So incredibly tense watching the guy defend drop after drop after multi-dropship drop with a handful of zerglings, lurkers and defilers... then to not only survive, but win

Very entertaining games and effort put on quite the show. However, I have to comment that piano lost 2 games from a position where no pro gamer would've ever lost back in "hardcore training" days. He just lacked the multitasking to execute properly. Credit to Effort for punishing mistake after mistake though.
