Cause oracles has nothing to do with overlords, and overlords becomes as the main target, killing em u preventing zerg from relativly fast scouting
You can make one oracle and still have plenty of phoenix/voids to kill ovies. Seems like these tosses forget you can make more than one unit out of the stargate.
It's all about timings, it would be a big loss if u won't make your oracle cost-efficient, huge investment in early stargate units that makes zero damage will affect your midgame so much. And it's pretty hard to deal with hydra/roach timing using stargate units only.
This is actually a common misconception. Your oracle might be able to do some good damage, but even if it is completely shut down by static defense, you just bring it home and use it to defend a super early third. No amount of speedlings can kill a building third with an oracle over it. That is how it can be cost-efficient without getting a single worker kill. And with that economy advantage vs zerg you can go any tech from there.

SH/Corr/infest is boring (because very campy) whereas SH/Hydra/viper/corruptor/utra is very fun and cool, very agressive and moving a lot !
This is such a crappy situation for Woongjin. sOs HAS to win.
If not, WJS has to field another player, and if they field a Zerg they are potentially giving away the strategies that Soulkey has been practicing to beat Innovation in the Code S finals.
I have never tried the english youtube stream before but I am now watching 720p without any lag whatsoever. I quite often find myself lagging on 480p on a lot of twitch streams lately.
