Too bad he doesn't travel much (or at all), and he does tend to lose more than he wins in singles than team leagues. | ||

Fungal takes so long to kill stalkers, and if you engage in a choke, upgraded stalkers should do better than roaches and lings, right? They pretty much do a lot of those timings. However Stalker/Immortal or Stalker/Collosi attacks tend to fare better because they're more balanced comps. If a Zerg gets wind of a huge blink stalker timing he can go more ling/infestor centric which really shreds Stalker balls if controlled well. | ||

I think so too, You need support for broods and it got wiped out way before the broods finished morphing. If, for some reason a few roaches/lings and infestors survived in time for the broods I think they'd have melted to the DTs since there was no detection. | ||

Pure blink stalker vs spine+infestor are not good. There are many others more effective pre-hive timings... In this game violet was clearly confused by the unconventional build from hero and thats why he lost, but that push from hero was not very good. Hero is like tlo...usualy he wins disorienting his opponent with crazy things... | ||

They used to go for a +3 200/200 blink stalker prehive timing push but zergs got good at defending it. I remember some people like Creator and Genius using it | ||

With 3-1 upgrades and the FFs that HerO had, how would have the 0-2 (??) lings done, do you think? With blink, does it fare okay? | ||

Hero likes to make the game chaotic and then win with his insane micro and harassment, and in general, experience with chaotic games. | ||
