Isn't that exactly what happened with the Bisu build? And people said that was revolutionary..
Uh the bisu build is still used very often...its now [or some bastardization of it] your standard opening in pvz. It did revolutionize the game, and for the first time in years, gave protoss an extremely viable chance against Zerg on most maps.
Can you dig it?

Viable alternative on certain maps where air plays a bigger part/air harass is more viable.
I wouldn't say it's revolutionary, but it could spawn a trend of mech builds with valks involved.

I suppose I woulnd't mind all too much being wrong - I like when matchups change - although I must say I'm not too fond of Terran doing mech in all three matchups. The bionic builds have always been what's made TvZ so special.

But wasn't it Nal_rA not Bisu that invented sair reaver, which is the one used nowdays?

Remenber when boxer used lockdown against arbiters in a game against free[gm]. A lot of players started making ghost but, like after 1 month, nobody were using them. The same thing will probably happen to that valks build.

Viable Alternative.

But as a Zerg player, I'd like an "Annoying" option.

Corsairs, valkeries, ANNOYING AS FUCK TO THE ZERG PLAYERS T_T. Fucking flying supply...

Valks in TVZ are old as hell. Nada started using them first I reckon. I mean real YOUNG Nada, aka when he was like 15 or so.

I think it'll be just another build all terrans should add to their arsenal. It would have been interesting to see if Fantasy continues to use this build in the future.

It'll be revolutionary and more than a gimmick build/just a phase/map specific build when it's proven against a S-Class Zerg. Right now I have trouble thinking its more viable than SK Terran overall... or that it would work against someone other than current level GGPlay

I would say it's a good blend between Map/Revolutionary/Viable Alternative. The map has a pretty strong influence on it being used. But the fact that we're seeing it a lot now, really shows the build's worth. I also think it's situational specific to a strong degree.

mm i think it's viable for us... but in the pro scene it seems like some good micro could totally outdo the benefit of having Valkyries... it does almost cost as much as a BC and good micro on zerg's part, splitting, etc (something they r pretty experienced with due to sci vessel's irr) would totally own them ==

it seems kind of like the corsair for terrans but not really


on a lighter note... has any1 figured out the build pattern/order for this??
