Do you realize that ZvP and ZvT are completely different match ups?
Nowadays Larva's best MU is ZvT (relatively, considering ZvP is easier for the Z). His ZvP is good but his main style of play doesn't match well against a dynamic toss that keeps harassing you on multiple fronts without missing macro rotations and keep his micro at the best level (basically, Rain and Bisu).
Still, in the last game after almost breaking Larva's 3rd base Rain then elevated 8 zeas on Larva's main while attacking his natural and miraculously Larva held that attack. It was amazing. He kept lossing drones at the end of Rain's attempts to break the natural and he managed to keep himself in the game.
Anyways, I remember in the first thread I think there was esportsjohn or his partner saying Light was favorite over Larva; Now, He's already at the r4. Only lost 1 game, IIRC.I said it back then and I kept saying throughout this season that Larva had become a S Level player. And I said that if people play standard against him, they will probably lose on the new maps. And seeing Flash's stream, he's not playing the standard fast expo - 5rax +1 into mech switch against Larva.
On some maps he's not switching to mech at all and on others he opens up with valks or wraiths/ports to keep larva at bay and make he loses scourges to set up some big drops later on and only then make the switch. But on most games he's not playing his standard and so the called "imba" style against freaking larva.
Now, lets hope he doesn't lose to Hero in the pathetic zvz semifinal. Because if hes doesn't choke, he's gonna put up a show against Flash.
(drops are his weakness right now, but considering how he was fast reacting against Rain he's prolly way too focused offline to get caught off guard

IF soulkey was not choking he had full potential to win vs hero, If last season mind was not choking he was about to break flash at ro16, and if soulkey didnt choked he wouldve killed flash dropships with scourges and win the series in ro4 instead of buging them out, many if's, but just talking is not enough, i need to see larva go up on stage and perform at least on soulkey level against Flash.
btw with all that Larva hype hasnt anyone noticed how Soulkey did 10 times better job vs Rain than Larva in any of his games? He left no chance for rain to win making it pretty onesided game.
