Zergs going muta don't try hard enough to scout all ins in the current meta imo. Its very difficult to hold without time to prepare as resources are banked for the muta's.

I don't really get why as even on ladder all ins are non-stop in ZvZ.

ZvZ looks the worst HoTS matchup by a distance, I await to be convinced otherwise, hopefully some people will figure some cool stuff out.

Oz did his 'look ok into making terrible decisions' style. So hard to be a fan sometimes

ZvZ has the potential to be cool, but as long as there is no real muta micro a la BW, it's basically going to be all about ramming your muta flock into your opponent's and hope you have more.

It doesn't need much to be awesome again though. Just needs hydra, infestor to become viable and sometimes only a subtle change can allow this.

I have seen Stephano experimenting with a hydra queen build but not against elite zergs.

It's terrible. ````Even 4gate wars is better, there's some micro and intensity. Ling/bling stage is cool though

I think something is wrong with the overlay, the names should switch.
