It's just so wrong that ~20 oracles beat ~30 hydras tbh. Shouldn't be the case

I don't know why this Hellion/Cyclone style fell out of favor. Seems so broken.

It was 26 oracles (3900/3900) vs 36 hydras (3600/1800) to be exact
Zest, sOs, PartinG, Dark, and Maru are the real champs. ROOT_herO is overrated. Snute, Serral, and Scarlett are the foreigner GOATs

Also TLO made a Lurker Den as a tech choice against this, maybe that was not optimal.

Correct, but oracles move twice as fast, offers infinite scouting/detection/harass, they cand landmine the map, oh and they fly btw

Sure, the exact numbers aren't really that important though imo. In my eyes flying units should basically always lose these engagements in head on fights. The strength should be abusing terrain. The more mobile you are the more dangerous it is to also be strong in direct engagements.

4 polish players in the RO16, but all of them qualified from the deciders match.

If Kelazhur doesn't advance, there will be 2 terrans in the ro16, pretty depressing about the state of (foreign) terrans

I agree. But in this case Has's army was vastly more expensive. If you're on the same income, 26 oracles is the same as around 59 hydras, almost double what TLO had. And zerg should typically have slighty larger income anyway.

I do think that mass oracle is slightly overpowered btw, but Has was just so far ahead in that game anyway

btw, I don't play zerg but would 39 mutas beat 36 hydras?

Yes it was more expensive, but the cost of an army alone doesn't mean it should beat the other army. Oracles cost a lot because they fly and have utility outside of their attack. You cannot just look at the army cost and say "well it costs more it should beat the other army".
And no i don't think the mutas would win that
