This is really risky because CJ have 91 points and Afreeca 86 points.

At least there's no way for Hush to reach 17 losses.

herO has 18 wins even
Yeah just fixed it. The rest of CJ can't surpass herO unless a non-herO wins the ace (which just isn't happening )

do you dare do that vs Protoss who might open, or reactively get, SG?

you will never have air control in ZvP so that's a horrible idea

Defend with a speed overlord full of queens and micro it better than Losira.

reactive 8gate all-in after making a robo bay
please don't hurt my head
I was even thinking he was getting inspired by Welmu and trying some colossus based play, would have been retarded but at least coherent. What he does here is just all over the place. Maybe he's relying on that IdrA's famous quote "If what your opponent does makes no sense, you can't prepare for it".

I sometimes play games like this when I hold an all-in and instead of killing my opponent I take them for a pain train ride by taking the entire map and forcing them to GG when they can't leave their base.

I sometimes transition to mass BCs in this situation.

Me too actually. It's even more amusing as Protoss when you have a line of cannons, templar and gates in front of their base and tempests sometimes, but not always, start shooting their shit just because.

Best way is to wait until you are really rich and then a-move with pure lings and after you loos them you hit with 50-mutas

oh shit I almost forgot Kassia existed

I'd like to throw B4's hat into the ring for terrible Proleague players, but... you know...

I think rushing tech buildings to then go allin with basic units and then take an island third while basically not making anything that flies is worse than making cyclones. Just me though.

he made a warp prism
Kinda hard to take an island without one...but you know, there's a reason why protoss that take an island usually go skytoss instead of blink...

in which matchup is it expected?
cyclones are interesting in TvP, not en masse but you see them regularly in modern TvP
Not that regularly.
Or rather, not that regularly outside of the GuMiho pushes. I find more and more people who play straight up are TvP are skipping the cyclone entirely (most notably TY stopped building them for defense). Just like in TvT actually, less and less of them.
I think I understand Hush's game now. he placed pylons at the island and hoped soO would scout it with an overlord to trick him into playing greedy, then he goes allin to kill him and had the robotics bay ready for an eventual transition. It was all planned.
