I'm pretty sure Stephano did this months ago...now it's starting to get popular over in korea... You can watch the stephano game vs Grubby in the latest shoutcraft, game 1 metalopolis. Wrong lol, Nestea has done it since forever before anyone even know who Stephano was. He turtle like a bitch with 10k spines in ZvZ before it was cool. | ||

Yea...stephano states that he hates big open areas against protoss....just because he uses this tactic so much. Usually Zerg loves open areas to do flanks and surrounds. But Stephano started making literally 30 spines every choke and pump nothing but infestors/lings until broodlords come out. Remember that Stephano said he never watches pro-gaming because he doesn't want them to interfere with the way he plays his games. I'm pretty certain he was the first, or if not, one of the earliest progamers to spam spinecrawlers. I even wrote a long winded post about this during shoutcraft. Very revolutionary play. | ||

I'm guessing you are one of the people that thinks Nestea copied infestor/ling w/ double ups vs Terran from Stephano despite the fact that he said he was the one who made the build? It is possible for 2 different players to come up with the same play style. | ||

It is possible for 2 different players to come up with the same play style. Plus its not exactly revolutionary to use up minerals that you're not using anyhow ;/. Its obviously smart play, but it goes back to the days when Z's were struggling with 4 gates until they figured out you just build crawlers. Same basic principle applies to all warpgate pushes. Weird games by Nestea tho, preparing for mutas all game (even double spire g2), yet never needing it. | ||
