Hard to call this one. Should be HyuN due to more experience but you can't count out Revival!

Even my plat-dia understanding of the game says if Revival built a hydra den when he first went across the map (the battle vs 7 queens) and just made roach hydra vs hyuns roach he would have rolled him. | ||

Yeah that happens once every 1000th game or so, and only because the other player screws up. It's so much of; player 1 gets a lead, gets 2+ attack and 200/200, while player B is stuck around 150-160, Player A attacks and wins. Attempt to transition when behind usually just results in instant death too. | ||

 LR spawns in the top right Logic spawns in the top leftI am just having fun with this at this point, credit where credit is due for Templar posting exploitable LRs and doing the lords work. | ||

I don't think either player can float the resources to make the hydra den and then make a high enough hydra count to make a diff without dying to roach | ||

Nah hydras suck. Especially on overgrowth. | ||

Revival has more APM. 4:00 HyuN mined some gas and researched zergling speed. HyuN sending a drone to the gold base, taking it. 5:00 Roach warren! and an evolution chamber and extractor for Revival. Lair for Revival as well as a second evolution chamber. | ||

Hydras need speed and range to be effective, and you need at least 10+ to be worthwhile. It's just too much of an investment on that kind of eco. Your opponent will just bludgeon you by spamming roaches. He could have done when he was ahead true, but I'm pretty sure he though he could just kill Hyun if he massed roaches and attacked. | ||
