Hydras: melting to storms since 1998.

I can't see Socke losing from here.

I like how vortix just ate the storms while attack moving.

I guess without a broodlord army attack moving isn't going to work.

Zerg players really need to split their hydras vs storms.


I mean hell, hydras on creep have the same speed as stimmed marines. Can't be that hard to split them.

Can someone who is going to watch the U/D's today make the thread? I would do it but I can't commit to being awake for the entire night.

No offense but vortix played this series absolutely awful and going 2 base roach drop? So many better all ins if you want to do a 2 base all in, queen/swarmhost would be so much better, almost any all in would be better then what he did this game..
When I think of something else, something will go here

To the IEM casters, if anyone reads this - Would it be possible to talk about what the players are actually doing? Socke vs Vortix, Socke takes a very early nexus, before cyber core from gateway, it's not mentioned at all because camera and all casters are focused on probe blocking natural hatchery - something that happened every game for years - while vital information is being missed.

Robo is not mentioned until attack is coming and there's a second or third immortal on the way - robo bay not mentioned until thermal lance is finished - i could write like 50 more examples but i dont think there's need - i can get a general idea of game flow, but nothing timed precisely at all, just something like "he got a stargate and then he got a robo at some point" and i know there could be much better information communicated for those trying to learn HOTS at master level or greater

I enjoy listening to casters but learning the new game is important to me, i dont want to waste time, and as it stands it seems like there is a lot more to learn by muting audio and staring at production tab and minimap with a notepad - i know you guys are good enough to make listening to casters a far superior option :D

Anyone else thinking the same or is it just me?

Yeah it's really disappointing seeing subpar casting at a major event like this

Nathanias is doing good though, despite having to cast and obs at the same time

This is why Zerg don't move out of storms.

Not whining about balance, just saying that with Roach and Hydra speed you'll still take a ton of Storm damage, plus that movement time is essentially free damage for a Toss army.
Average means I'm better than half of you.

Vortix really needs to incorporate a few infestors in his comp. He can't just move his viper towards socke because he has feedback available, but with 10 range fungal he can bait out templar getting near him and fungal them

Yeah this 8 different army comp is called a death ball by everyone else.... xD
I liking PvZ atm, seems to favor mass air late late game by both sets which is fun. Don't know why i haven't seen any Ultra yet? Guess vs mass air would be silly xD
