Vortix is playing an outdated style in a lot of ways. The drops in the second game were an attempt to get out of that style, but mass roaches just do not work these days and Squirtle is hard countering them to boot.

Immortal heavy two-basing / three-basing is the go to build in Korea because it flat out destroys roach builds and also works well enough against hydras. With great FFs, it's not bad vs. ling heavy styles, and with great timings it's able to hit before ling infestor and muta ling is able to get the techs it needs. I want to say that it's virtually unbeatable on small maps but that's going too far.

Roach builds are falling off because of this.

Great defence by Squirtle, I thought he was dead right there.

Squirtle used withdraw making his defense too high for vortix to do enough damage

IGN?
I think IGN was impressed by Karont3 during the IPLTAC, and wanted a player from there to join. VortiX happened to be free, so they asked him to face Squirtle. Though it will probably end up a facestomp, at least we get to see some great Squirtle PvZ.

Well He all-killed Empire, he qualified for TSL 4 beating Golden, select, hasuobs.. Ye Squirtle is a monster but Vortix is really showing his skill lately.
