Really? Nobody else expects hydras to be significantly stronger mid-game ZvP? :/


They invited the 3 zergs that are least likely to make hydras...


You don't know that.

Snute only plays the Swarm Host style because he feels it's the surest way to victory, he has admitted so himself and there is no shame in that, if Hydras do turn out to be a little too strong vs Protoss early on, I think he'd adapt and use that instead. (and again, there is no shame in playing to win)

So what will come first, the Firecake versus Mana series concluding, or a new patch with these changes being released?
PartinG fanboy to the max, Rain/Squirtle/Dear/Scarlett/Bbyong are cool too. I don't always watch Dota2 but when I do I have no clue what's going on. GOGO POWER RANGERS

Good to see this kind of effort to actually playtest (and show) high level players testing this out, like the idea a lot

The zerg players are gonna have to make 2 x the amount of spores they usually make. Much change.

So you invite Stephano to boost viewers, then you also redo mana vs firecake to boost even more viewers and then you don't include a terran (just take forgg he already did some mine bio vs P before this was announced) to boost viewers even more? I think the invites speak two different languages, besides the fact that I would have picked 3 completely different zergs to show new hydras. Meh but cool to see that some progamers (and maybe one retired one) will be able to make some money.
