One time, me and a friend were 2v2ing ZP against TT. So we get to the lategame, and we are up against a 350 supply 3/3 bioball. So my P friend gets 2 huge vortexes off, and then when the bio pops out, I fungalled and he stormed. Sickest game ever!
Where am I going with this? Context matters, and crazy shit happens all the time on ladder. But when it happens in a competitive match for cash, that's when it really becomes incredible to watch. Seeing something happening one time on stream on ladder is much different from seeing something happen when there is $500 bucks on the line.

:0  You're breaking the hypeness of that moment, let me have my fun, I let you do way more naughty stuff.

well anyways this was a really depressing outcome, totally not worth staying up for :s
I'm not breaking any hypeness, there was none to begin with -.-

I doubt Destiny's done that a million times. It wasn't just a neural to cloak his own units. It was Hyun consciously targeting down observers (protecting infestors) and then resisting the temptation to immediately cast neural, waiting until just before the vortex runs out and infested terrans hatch.

I'm pretty sure you can't give permission for him to do his stuff.

Gratz to Huyn for taking out Squirtle :D

Good bye caster duo. Thanks for the games and good night.

TSL zergs are scary good. They're the reason why TSL is my third favorite team behind MVP and Startale, and Hyun happens to be my favorite TSL zerg of all!

I think you'd have to watch the replay second by second to conclude that. It's entirely possible (or probable..) that any observer there died instantly to incidental fungal/infestor terran/corruptor and that the mothership NP was more or less at a coincidental time. He had to perform like 70+ actions on his infestor group to get all of those ITs out. /shrug

Finally, the reign of Squirtle ends, and so begins the reign of HyuN

Well - What do you expect when you have TDA or Entombed in your pool ? ZvP is awful enough already D:
But well, whatever. Hyun <3

The timing of neural was definitely not coincidental. Hyun knew Squirtle was out of observers. Though Hyun might have been "lucky" in getting the opportunity to kill all the observers in the first place, I give you that.

That's not sexy. That's incompetence. Squirtle left his ML too close. The skill used there was... clicking. its always clicking  No. I can't understand the hype. What is so amazing about that? Mechanically it's not difficult. Decision wise, well he has fucking 16 infestors. It's not great decision making. Did he position well atleast? More that Squirtle left his mothership sitting over the area with almost no units around it. That was completely unnecessary. There was nothing that hyun actively did to make that awesome. It's just kind of sad when Cats calls that one of his top 5 pimpest plays for all of sc2.
5 best uses of BL/Infestor, actually. Look, if you came to shit all over that sexy play, don't. Me and my brothers mouths were wide open in awe while we were watching that. It was epic.
Besides, as a counter example, at MLG Columbus marineking took out partings entire army sans 3 HTs and then lost his bio ball to three of the best placed storms ever. SOOOO GOOOD. Let us freak out.

Congrats to Hyun, taking out Squirtle in a bo9 is not an easy feat.
|
Lmao...how did I know hyun would win? Oh right, he's just the better player. Squirtle had his little jjakji-esque streak but now he's irrelevant again.
