LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL. I'm sure bad macro made zerg able to do that. But sentries with force field + storm should be good vs that. =D

That's sick. I'm hoping the protoss player is really, really bad to have let something like that happen.

I think ling/speed baneling would be decently effective against hot bid's hydra rush in ZvZ.

yeah that was DK, it was brutal to watch. I guess it was kind of a surprise because it just came from no where at the beginning. You'd need several storms to stop that, I would have panicked if I saw that many banelings approach my army.

David Kim double expanded in the beginning (hatch pool hatch) while Psy was on 1 base for a bit... so, yeah

plus, you know, he's David Kim

EDIT: Oh I guess it was Inka, my bad

In the replay they saw Dkim double expanded right away, so he had a huge advantage from the start

In an earlier game Dkim was launching 3 nukes simultaneously and launched at least 8 nukes by the end of the game (I tuned in halfway through, could have been more earlier).

Like Browder said, in the first few days there will be strats that Blizzard know about which seem imba, but people need to find the counter which Blizzard also know about. I imagine this must be one of those strats considering that it was David Kim using it.

I'm pretty sure double expand into mass banelings isn't going to be standard. More likely it's just David Kim bashing noobs with stupid builds just because he can at this point in the beta. You can't deny the entertainment value of this game.

If you want my opinion, it would have only taken 2 force fields to stop that backdoor rush dead. Looks imba, but seems easily countered. You just have to have two of those.. whatever they're called now... Sentries, hanging around.

Ive done baneling allin twice now but my bo produced a much smaller force (running off of 2 Hatches 1 queen) than DK. At the beginning you have to hope what you have is enough but once you lair, generate creep, and baneling speed reinforcing your army quickly becomes easy.
