Stephano is on the verge of adding yet another title to his belt. I honestly cannot see him lose two series in the grand final vs any of the three players left. | ||

Typical stephano anyway, not to be taken too seriously  | ||

I can only answer for the last ZvZ against Vortix on Antiga as i haven't seen the other games, to be able to play roach hydra infestors safely you need to know what your opponent is up to and need to have a LOT of gas. In that game Vortix was under pressure after the small baneling attack on his natural, even if he didn't lose much he was forced to produce lings and spine, because he didn't know what Stephano was going to do afterward. Meanwhile Stephano was already transitioning (earlier gases, which meant earlier infestation pit as the casters pointed out and then faster 3rd). Faster 3rd which means more gas to produce hydras. In summary if you're on an exact equal footing it can be risky to go hydra as they're very expensive, plus it's dangerous to attack with as they're so slow. I think i'm not too far from the truth, Hope Stephano wins this tournament, i was really worried after his recent losses in ZvZ but he seems to be ok with it atleast against foreigners | ||

Even if it means less infestors? | ||

No, infestors/roach > infestors/hydra and only roaches > roach hydras But hydra are a good boost when you already have 30-40 roaches to protect them. And a good economy, obviously. | ||

Excpet maybe of you are on a map that has no ramps and walls and can surround from every side. Edit : And congrats Stephano =D Now go win this, ez. | ||

We are talking about midgame situation, not late game 200 200. Hydras are good only when already maxed. | ||
