HyuN's ZvP lately has been focused on Ling/Roach/Muta with Melee and Carapace I haven't seen him pull out the Roach/Hydra/Viper composition in a while.

If Pigbaby's capable of being defensive, which of the two styles would be favourable?

I usually want terran wins, but there are many exceptions.

In PvZ the zerg can make the situation spire out of control but protoss can adept to the situation.

I'm just saying, some players need a coach in their ear or a team house environment with practice partners to stay on top of their preparation and practice. Pigbaby seems like a good self motivator

You know, Taeja is becoming a bit like Yellow.

Now before you start telling me I'm wrong, remember that in addition to winning a lot of silvers, Yellow was known as the Special Events King. He wouldn't win the OSL or the MSL, but he won a lot of other events. That's actually kind of the situation that Taeja is in. He is unparalleled in the history of SC2 in weekend tournaments, bar none. But he still hasn't won a GSL or a WCS tournament yet.

Thing is I don't recall PB being very defensive in PvZ.

If he's turned over a new leaf, Hyun will likely bombard him with ling/roach/muta. He's always been one to usually avoid Hive tech units. Expect masses of low-tech units with weak upgrades and tech switches.

Essentially, he's a weaker version of soO, but without ultras :p

Well guess I gotta cheer for a Heart vs Pigbaby finals.

Same. And hopefully Pigbaby is the royal roader we all dream of.

It'll depend on his PvZ.

Does anyone know how well HyuN's PvZ is at this moment, by any chance?

I think that Heart and Bomber are both really good at TvT, such that either one of them can go to the finals.

Recent results looks like he's been beating foreigners comfortably besides a 4-3 vs Lilbow and losing to Sjaak but struggled vs Koreans


I see. I always thought that HyuN had good ZvP, but that isn't as relevant as "current form."
Any thoughts on how likely HyuN is to win the whole thing, considering all the players' forms?


Hyun also has this thing where he's capable to raise his play to the occasion whenever it truly matters, which is a good skill to have when you want to be competitive. I'd take that into account as well as his current form.

but you see there were 3 preparations
Flash prepared CC first
then he prepared that shine would counter his CC first
then he prepared that Shine would counter his counter to his CC first so he went CC first

That prep though, convincing oneself to go cc first against shine.

Doing exactly what you are known to do when you know your opponent studies you is in itself a viable strategy, reverse mind games. It's what MC's been doing for years.

Wish I had that self motivating ability. I can't get myself out of bed unless someone else gets mad at me for not doing something. It's the best quality someone can have I think

There is this thing called "keeping your opponent honest" in fgc. Basically you don't do the double mind game until they force you to respect the single level mind game.
