IMO this style is very effective at beating people alot better than you because if your vessels survive until the lategame then one slipup from the zerg could mean gg.
dove's play is far from sloppy he's a great player and I don't understand how you've came to the conclusion that sk terran would be easier than normal play :S when playing sk u need even more micro than usual in tvz.
If executed good SKTerran is almost unbeatable. But a little mistake costs the game.. And losing half of your rines in a battle is something that happens to almost every terran vs a good zerg except Nada, OOv, ect..

Which is why Dove won 6-5 -_-?

Uh, dove 'invented' (probably not, just that he's the first person I saw do it - it's sick -_-) 3 fac tank after 2 rax cc
i saw Ever)T(PianO do it first. I know that piano and dove were kinda friendly so i guess one of them got it from the other, unsure who did it first. but yea the point is he doesn't always play that way, it's just what you see mostly in replays because he tends to be impressive playing that way. also i didn't hydra lurker every game so it wasn't like it was 6:5 with skterran vs hydra lurker. however hydra lurker is definitely beatable without tanks, infact i felt like i was behind most of this game. it turned around when i managed to kill his 12 o clock expansion, but it was a very hard game =_=;; anyway nothing is absolute. nothing is black or white, you have to appreciate the shades of grey~!
