Certainly if Zerg goes 3 base lurker/ling --> defiler (as is the most standard ZvT, with or without the initial mutas) there's not much space for a muta/hydra switch.

Are hydra/lurker midgames, or muta + upgrade aggression (without going all-in), no longer viable? They'd obviously be better suited to a hydra/muta-vs-mech transition.
My strategy is to fork people.

But when you're supposed to put away the surface bias and be actually somewhat objective instead of subjective you disappoint the hell out of me. Even though other noticeable skt1 fans isn't active, so i cant blame them for picking you after all.

And for me, hating on Stats = me hating on you. (wont disucss that here though :D)

The only real bias is the bit about KT. I honestly think everything else I said is what I think is true. Maybe as a KT fan you'd be pretty inclined to disagree with me, and that's fair. But everything I said is what I really think.
Is what I mentioned about Stats the part that really irked you the most?
If you are not Bisu, chances are I hate you.

I'd like progamers to experiment with stronger midgame composition as zerg against a terran but I think getting defilers that much later is considered too dangerous by progamers nowadays. On certain map hydra/lurker in the midgame is still feasible though but most progamers won't risk trying it out. I remember Jaedong did that against Light on bloody ridge with some success (he still lost because Light is so amazing at TvZ though).

The biggest problem with your idea though is that hydralurker works best on maps with an open center to flank whilst Mech prefers some cramped space to avoid flanks so on mosts maps where hydralurker is feasible the terran is not even going to mech switch and keep going bio anyways.

Awesome write up can't believe the queen usage really has evolved going to have to catch some bw games and cut back on the sc2.

they're only used against mech in ZvT and hive tech ZvZ at the moment though. I think they,re perfectly viable against bio TvZ but progamers are not using them sadly

Don't forget about sniping the HTs. I doubt zero has stopped using them in ZvP for good.

Don't forget about sniping the HTs. I doubt zero has stopped using them in ZvP for good.

Queens will be an unlikely sight in ZvP for a while to come. Protoss has begun favoring some more Corsair-based play lately, so Queens have become a far more dangerous gamble than they were in the past.

Sick write-up. I've never watched a proleague final live but I'll definitely be following it this time around.

Question though: Will there be another playoff at the end of round 6, and how does the winner's league final count towards that?
