This build hits before the 12 minute max has time to get going, and on that map the distances are close enough to kill you if you're doing a 12 minute max build because you're overdroning.

I feel this must be so exhausting for HerO that he could have a hard time against Polt.

I mean Polt's series vs Rain wasn't exactly a walk in the park.

True, at least he gets a break though.

Habitation Station is very good for Protoss. Its easy hold the natural and the gold base with forcefields (you need two only).

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.

I know? I just don't think stephano in his prime = blord infestor

So many many reasons.

Lol HerO uses strategies that are considered "abusive" (incorrectly I might add) less than most top protosses

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?^^


You've never played Stuchiu eh? :D

FYI along side the 80k on Twitch there are another around 5k on the Chinese stream, at 5am in the morning, it peaked around 15k earlier.

gold bases, really?does blizzard never give up?


This map was made by a community member and was one of the finalists for red bull's team liquid map contest, and ESL got to choose the map pool for the tournament, though yeah it's a ladder map so it's a popular choice. Blizz had nearly zero part in this aside from creating Starcraft 2 and the option for gold bases to be implemented.

I cant help but feel absolutely disgusted when I see hero play today. I usually like him a lot but i dunno, this is such abusive play... oh well I hope jd can scrape by yet again.

oh come on.


Yeah Hero has always played an abusive style , but people just notice it , when he wins a lot in a row with it .

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.


today he is.

stephano in his prime and broodlord infestor in the same sentence makes me sad

well he was one of the inventors of the composition and mass infestor play. but he also was one of the few zergs who could smack others around without BL infestor.
