Quite soon! The event was on the calendar, but the other match ran too long, so it got knocked off the "ON AIR:" events. First game should start within 10 minutes if I had to guess.

Are we allowed to call that imba? I mean I've never called Terran OP been watching since maybe ~5 months after release of WOL.. But I want to call that imba. The strategy actually looks imbalanced in all matchups.

Only when Innovation and Lucifron do it. Otherwise, it's not all that unstoppable. Sort of like Parting's immortal push.
Hellbat drops are way OP. There is absolutely no way for zerg to defend a 4 hellbat drop cost-efficiently. The only thing he can do is pull all drones and just stop mining while waiting for both hellbats and medivacs to die, which takes forever at that timing with the low dps units available to zerg.

Why not make static defence? And zerg can baneling drop later too. If people would rather lose 25 drones than to make static defence, then it is their own fault.

I like how hellbats were popular and called imba in the beta, and then blizzard nerfed the cargo space, and then players were thought they weren't doing anymore, and then like 2 months later they realized they're actually still really good lol

How many spines u gonna waste money on. Even with 2, half your drones are going to die before the hellbats are gone.

From my experience spine crawlers are next to useless against most medivac drops compared to spore crawlers, which actually can act as a decent deterrent.

The 6 queen build is much better against this. It can kill the medivacs -> end of harassment. Also, Life's early aggression style is pretty effective at keeping Terran in his base.

I understand where people are frustrated at, but right now, a spore + spine is better than no static defense. Also remember that if zerg makes some early roaches and actually be aggressive during this timing window in which terran tries to drop, then the Terran will have a delayed 3rd.

One of the few likeness of progamer appearances I can actually agree on (Supernova doesn't look like Nada... ugh).

I believe that one is GOM's. OGN would have make their own.

If you are talking about GameHeart, it has to be a custom map created with it added.

His face when he got that baneling connection was priceless, someone needs to do a side-by-side comparison of Flash's reaction to winning that's been on Reddit recently.
Staying up all night playing a VN (while fun, sleep is good) and being in the waytootired state during the first SPL match suddenly became worth it because of the good TvT and YJ being happy.
By the way: everyone should watch the innovation game too. solid and crisp play where someone just maintains a lead is fascinating to watch. It was magnificent play.

The stinky finger move is a given.
Kespa should hire me to come up with BM ceremonies, like Homer does in that Simpson's episode.
Mini probably could've won that if he just morphed the archon out of range to bust the FFs way back at the start. I don't think those 12 seconds would've been enough to let the obs get out.
