Like with any build, going for it blindly would be foolhardy. It's like Avilo trying to prove a build involving mine-drops was bad because he went for the mine drops despite scouting robo opener.
This strat definitely has got its place in mid-late game. Especially to deny far off bases. Where and when depends on how the game is playing out.

One victory does not mean they will be used in every match. There is still so many timings that will simply kill you if you go for them. Their strength is in that no one knows how to really play against them. Rogue used a really cool snipe build today.

You need more than one game to say "SH are totally viable". It isn't that simple and it obviously depends on what the protoss player is doing and on the map.
That game was awesome and Rogue made a great read on what hero was going to do. Then he used incredible multitasking to out play hero.
it was a sick game but you can't just look at that game and make a boolean statement on SH right now.

it's Cactus Valley. CC first into hoping it's close spawns IMHO

I agree, except it was no "great read", it was his strategy of choice since the begining and he probably spend his whole week-end working on it...

right...maybe i'm just crazy but he probably did some research on hero before the game though.

Probably. Maybe rax quick expand into hoping it's close spawns and ByuL doesn't somehow find a gold base on Cactus Valley.

I love how part of this game was Life accidentally researching ventral sacs and just going with it.

good reliable builds are effective even if your opponent knows before-hand. And a mine drop is definitely decent vs robo openings.

double ace match today is pretty crazy though

map is slightly better for zerg apparently, not a huge volume of games though.

So, it's cool to finally see it in a Korean pro game, but we saw this style a lot already right after the patch. It was quickly dismissed, since you can't survive on most maps if you invest in a 5 SH hitsquad. They can't help you defend with only 1 attack per minute. Still an excellent snipe build for this specific map, wp Rogue!
But please don't believe this is new, or even some new meta  .
Did people already forget all those gifs on reddit from enraged Protoss players getting their Nexi sniped?

It's top 4 teams playing each other, expected the series to be close tbh.

I think it's a free win for Zerg on cross and considerably hard for Zerg in close spawns.

Which is great, I love builds like this that we don't see often because they work only on certain maps against certain strategies.
