I think i have seen it. Except earlier i have seen roach ling into muta ling. This time it is hydra ling with handful of corruptors, should there be a collosi timing into muta ling.

It's not that new... Go some form of defensive roach/hydra play, then switch into melee ups and mutas when he goes Colossus.
But it's not that good if Protoss just takes a third or goes stargateheavy.

DRG's been doing this for a while... Or at least since IEM Shanghai.

The corruptors were a nice touch. Usually the Z only uses hydra/ling to pressure with that build; i think DRG thought he woudln't do damage with a faster timing because of the map/spawning positions so decided to add corruptors (which have the additional bonus of tricking the protoss into thinking mutas aren't coming). Trap moving out at a dumb timing helped ofc, but that looks scary anyway :O

Seems like a lot of corruptors and baiting the collossi timing by making it look like a muta bank. Then crush the push then go muta. Gets so much more mileage out of your ground forces than if you just go straight mutas.

The two players I'm cheering for are 2-0 and 1-1... and the one that's 1-1 lost to the one that's 2-0. :o

The big deal here was DRG rushing corruptors to be completely ready for the first real push, it was really perfectly timed.

I think walling so fast is bad because you way oversupply yourself, better get the bunker near the ramp and faster 3th imo. And then slowely rewall 1 depot at a time.
