The other days had well over 10k (good for the prelim rounds of a medium (15k total) prizepool tournament.) It's just that today they are up against day9 steaming the D3 beta. Not MLG's fault. | ||

If by good, you mean possibly the best ZvP player in the world right now. HerO's style IS revolutionary, he showcased it in the GSL last night, beating LosirA is like beating Polt at PvT. | ||

The true test is whether you can make your shit work against someone really good. It's not even whether he wins or not, but if he can give Losira a run for his money. If he gets rolled, his revolutionary PvZ is completely worthless. | ||

original plan was hydra nydus, almost definitely. gets scouted, goes linginfestor. sees that hero committed to air despite seeing the hydra den, goes back to hydra nydus. Hides the nydus under a clump of overlords, and is lucky that hero left one overlord scout alive. | ||

Bisu has been using this to beat zergs for years now. | ||

He had everything going for him in that game, and still managed to botch it by not killing that overlord AND not having vision of his own base against a Zerg who rushed for a hydra den and had no third. | ||
