Perhaps because Hyun threw it instead of losing? Because Major isn't that great? Because JREcco has been noted by Tastosis and the rest as a really good zerg?

Remember when every zerg used to call infestors terrible as they always clumped them up and getting them EMP'd or never saving them after battles? Yeah well, look at infestors now. They've not really had any buffs per such but people are regarding them as one of the most powerful units in the game.
People just need to experiment with ravens more and I'm sure they'll get more use. Infestors got buffed AND ghosts EMP got nerved. Just saying...
Zerg are the race that ran headlong into Collosus balls with roach/hydra/corruptor for months, and whined incessantly. Most of their playstyle shifts are the direct result of buffs that the race received, or nerfs to other races. /rant 
I still think to this day that the Ghost nerf was premature. However, snipe is supposedly better against Infestors due to the bonus damage to psionic units, so maybe that's an avenue worth checking out.

Great results today

if hyun was so good he would've made a spine crawler at some point when he lost like 200 drones over the final 3 games.

As I said in some other thread, JRecco has become my hero by knocking out Naniwa and Major.
Thumbs up.

Oh and a belated well-played to JRecco, good luck with the rest of the tournament!

he's not that good but he's that much better than jonnyrecco. jrecco is better than your average player (right now at least) but is no where near hyun's level. besides, hyun only lost to major due to cross server lag

Cross server lag that he a) failed to wall off and b) had never a single Spine or unit to deal with BFHs raids? C'mon...

Did infestors really get buffed? Comparing the infestors on the original retail release, versus today:
Buff:
Damage went from 36 pts in 8 sec, to 36 pts in 4 sec
Damage went from 36 pts to 36+4 pts vs Armor
Nerf:
Stun duration went from 8 sec to only 4 sec
Neural Parasite Range decreased from 9 to only 7.
Movement Speed decreased from 2.50 to 2.25
Overall, I don't think infestors were buffed at all. The fungal growth works twice as fast, but the stun duration is only half as long. Neural parasite with range 7 has become completely useless against tanks and thors.

again, he was lagging. there was latency between the server that major was playing on and hyun's server. he couldn't make the spines in time because he was lagging when macroing. by the time he got done doing his laggy macro, he was probably going to make spines but it was too late, the hellions already came in.

infestors were made slower because they got too far ahead of the army and died. idra said so on a sotg

Buffed fungal growth did 36 (48 vs armoured).
And you forgot that FG got nerfed too, down to 30 (40 vs armoured).
Yes, they did get buffed hugely. They went from being only useful for delaying/rooting your opponent down for a while to a big DPS output and overall good unit.

Hyun did not lose to major due cross server lag. He lost, because he did not build spines against helions three times in a row. Lag has no influence in the decision to not build spines.
Edit: @ your next post: Lag is about two seconds on really bad days. A spine crawler build 50 seconds. That is obviously not the explanation.

the movement speed was a buff honestly. zerg players always had their infestors leading the charge way ahead of the rest of the army. their slower speed makes them much easier to control and keep alive.
also the stun duration being lowered means the damage is dealt much faster. having the units stunned for longer really isn't that important when medivacs out heal the damage dealt easily. an 8 second stun time was actually worse than the 4 second stun time.
infestors definitely got buffed. the only actual nerf was the nerual parasite range which was just ridiculous before the nerf.

NP was already useless against tanks. It was not effective to use it against tanks when you can drop a fungal on the rines or something instead, a tank is not a big beefy 4-6 supply unit that's worth rendering your infestor temporarily useless. Range 9 is already terrible against tanks also, and a 2.25 move speed actually makes army control easier.

wasnt hyun the higher seed? therefore more games were played on Hyun's home server?

Yes, I should know until know, that answering him is useless, but I sill have a bit of hope.
