Losira was probably the best ZvP in the world back then (after maybe Nestea) though and Alicia was a PvT sniper.
Think that was the series where Losira Roach/Ling all inned him every single game and Protoss players considered the build 'broken' for a week or so.

Still solid and patient play by Losira. Nice to see him continue his mini revival. Seed's done it a few times on entombed, I think he hits around the 15 minute mark with a 200/200 +3 blink stalker attack. I've seen it work every game he's done it.
I've seen that too but I never understand why it works because it always looks like it shouldn't.

It crushes roach heavy/muta transition builds, Losira on the other hand immediately went for double upgrade lings and infestors with spine support, which is pretty much the hard counter to the strategy. Maybe it has something to do with him being on IM? might have immediately recognized the strategy.

It hits at 14:10 if you macro perfectly, It's so strong because of the huge number of units. Add in blink and you can micro a maxed army against a Zerg without hive tech, just ridiculously strong.

Losira pulling off the clever trick of playing in this teamleague and streaming at the same time. Impressive ^_^

I think Arthur missed his timing too, the build makes the most sense on entombed because you can take a third without nearly as many sentries as on cloud, letting you put more gas into stalkers. In the first game I saw seed do it, he maxed out at 14 minutes with just pure blink stalker with +3 and very little, if any, sentry and zealot support
