They require the gomtv season pass because only the first game of each match is free (I think they are games 3 and 5 in the group). There are china links floating around that are rebroadcasts in chinese where you could probably watch them. I think it's probably frowned upon by GOM but I don't think they have the copyright abilities over China.

Can't say it makes choosing an opening any easier though  Seems like 14/14 is still the jack of all trades, but I always feel pressured when my first lings arrive and see my opponent has gone hatch first. Anyway I love the thread; I'll definitely be rereading it and watching some of the games in the future, to help with my own ZvZ. You know, I feel the same way. Including the game I forgot about but just added last night (Dimaga v NesTea KORvWORLD game on Terminus) that makes two games in total where there was a drone scout before hatch first, and in both cases it didn't really make a difference (neither scouted the other player before the hatch went down). Further, the win rate of hatch first vs 14/14 is something close to 100%, with the only game a 14/14 won being NesTea when he played July, and it was dead even until July gave all his ultras away. However, I think the more interesting story there is that the players we would generally consider superior in skill tend to more often open 15 hatch, whereas the cheesier guys who are in code A and B tend to always 14/14. So the better players are already 15 hatching, but the high win rate may well be because 15 hatch is indeed the superior (or at least equal?) opening. I know I've always preferred 15 hatch when I can get away with it, but especially on ladder and with so many players opting for 9 or 11 pools or just early pools in general, it's difficult to justify opening 15 hatch at least for ladder practice. | ||

KORvWORLD FXOmOOnGLade vs STJuly - Metalopolis - link July opens blind 15 hatch 14 pool in cross positions against mOONglade's 14/14 bling pressure. July drops a fast warren but has a late gas and so is barely able to defend in time with roaches and zerglings. From here the game transitions into a typical July game (re: slugfest). KORvWORLD mTwDimaga vs STJuly - Shakuras Plateau - link This game is special among all of these I mention because it actually doesn't feature a blind 15 hatchery. I include it because in re-watching it I noticed something very important--Dimaga actually intended to open 15 hatchery, but he drone scouted on 9 supply and saw July's 10 pool. He then responds by canceling his 14th drone, and going 13 pool 12 gas. I firmly believe Dimaga would have been hard-pressed to survive against July's 10 pool pressure had he not drone scouted and responded accordingly. | ||

Is nestea vs losira the only example of 10p/12ov against 14/14? | ||

Yeah the only other game that didn't immediately end against this build was Cezanne's canceled 15 hatch into 15 pool, and he was pretty far behind the entire game in my opinion. | ||

Coca went 10p/12 ov against DRG on testbug in game 1. and DRG went 14/14 speedling expand. Coca backs out and makes roaches before expanding (because his ling speed was miles behind), but DRG has a pretty solid lead and outright kills him with a roach ling timing. also for what it's worth in game 3, Coca goes 14/14 against DRG's blind 15 hatch, and coca uses 6 speedlings to be annoying and somehow end up with a solid lead... not sure how that happened. | ||

I never really thought about how drone scouting generally reveals that you are 15 hatching..... it's not just the greed factor (at least according to him) | ||

My one thought would be how map dependent these matches were. For example, Nestea did his 10 pool DET on Dual Site and Xel'Naga Fortress in the GSL finals against Losira, and I wonder how much the easier scouting of his opponent played into that. I'm trying to look at this to understand what maps it would be more reasonable for me to take the risk of 15 hatching. | ||
