I never thought I would do a build before pros, but I guess mass oracle is meta now

I'm not sure how I feel that this is viable. Oracles are too fast to be that effective as an army >.>

Not sure it is viable, Solar messed up his control in the first push + mass hydras might not be the best reaction

Protoss units are pretty good when you have a lot of them.

People have been going mass oracle in 2v2 for years. I've learned first hand that it's incredibly hard to counter for Zerg. You don't have an army that can really fight it early game. Hydras do not scale very well against it, especially because you are sacrificing your economy to build spores and queens and can't generate enough of them. Mass oracle harass is also nearly impossible to defend, but you need to apply pressure to the Protoss because they will just tech into storm behind the oracles. This need to attack leaves you open to further damage. Hydras in low numbers also trade terribly against oracles. Losing the first fight is the death knell. The fact that pros like Classic are doing this build is worrying. His execution and decision making is far beyond Has, making this build a very different monster from what we've seen thus far.

Taking out those high templars was key. If stats realized he had no obs, Dark was dead because Stats would have some storms
