The Immortal/Zealot all in is an old Naniwa build from early HoTS. Day[9] did a daily on it "Naniwa's 2 base PvZ" or something like that. TL has a strategy article about it called "the man train."

Cant u play a baneling bust against this by baiting one photon overcharge and then attacking the other protoss base?


No, cause the photon overcharge will be on the gold and the main is protected by Ff's.

I dont think that Hero had a Sentry ready in his main base at the time a bust would have come because he first build one at the gold base.
I like Zerglings... and Banelings... and also Roaches... well, i like ZERG

You can't 12 minute max out against gate expos with MsC. That build was predicated on fast 3 base against FFE. There's a reason it died out in HotS.

Abusive? IdrA is gone can that weird attitude disappear already?


Some playstyles are abusive. For example, the 1-1-1 against Protoss back in 2011 was abusive, because the Protoss had trouble scouting it, and had to guess on how to react. Prepare for the 1-1-1, and you could die to a 2 rax pressure. Prepare for the 2 rax pressure, and you die to the 1-1-1.

BL-infestor was also abusive.

no, 1-1-1, was beautiful, it was art, it took heart.


I never said it wasn't beautiful haha.

stephano in his prime and broodlord infestor in the same sentence makes me sad
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Lol everyone freaking out about this map the community is the reason it is in the map pool!


hehe blame scarlet and bomber for this map being on the ladder, everyone was meh golds before their game. Nevertheless this map is awesome for me, because standard play doesn't work.
Also JD lost because he got 10 lings. On the other hand it was a nice idea to prevent hero from transferring workers, but Hero to good.

lol, this is Rotti's 8 gate... I think he messaged Hero about it a week or so ago


ERM if i may.... http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=414359

This build has been around forever. And it's awesome.

How it is awesome when the zerg knows exactly what protoss does and can't react do anything?

There are no map bans?


Starcraft develops by strategies appearing and then people come up with ways of countering them. And there are map bans, so obviously Jaedong felt that Habitation and gold-base rushes wasn't the worst that could come his way.

pretty good micro by HerO to back up his crazy strat. I like the no-hesitation push into the nat from the gold, HerO proves he's got his guts in the right place after all

the problem is that those builds die vs any other semi-safe P build :D

ofc the build is abusable, but you cant just go it with the information given. u know there is a goldbase, but...
what if hero just takes both gases, builds sentrys and takes his natural as 3rd base?^^

Oh for fucks sake. HerO doesn't play an abusive style have you never watched him? You think he is at the forefront of the soul train or the blink all in? He isn't.
