Heres a small background story about one of the best zerg players ever to walk the Broodwar world and now transitioning into Starcraft 2 as a member os the Pro Korean team Prime.
I've picked up one of his SC2 matches and several examples of his Broodwar playstyle to relive the spirit of this awesome Zerg Master and for us all to get to know him a bit more:
The "King of the Hill" tournament that Gisado organizes is getting really popular and last week it gave us an AWESOME battle between oGssSKS -Tester- and FantaPrime -JulyZerg-...it doesnt get much better than this

JulyZerg vs TheRock - Sauron Zerg strategy
(Text taken from the youtube video description of the above mentioned video, thank you to VioletAK)
"Sauron Zerg" is a Starcraft term very rarely used because there are very few players capable of living up to its definition, and can only be accomplished by Zerg Progamers with insane Macro skills.
In this OSL game you will see JulyZerg expanding and taking control of 8 bases, meaning unlimited resources flow. He then boxes his enemy and generaly doesn't allow units to leave the contained area. Thats the perfect setting for Sauron Zerg to take place, JulyZerg starts pumping non-stop units from all those bases directly to the enemy, without even grouping them first! basicly pounding the enemy defenses with endless Zerg waves, hereby accomplishing Sauron Zerg.
Once a Sauron Zerg is in motion nothing can stop it, TheRock holds back a couple of waves, but JulyZerg can continue forever with 8 bases, within a few minutes TheRock is shattered.

Theres already some previous threads here on TL about FantaPrime / JulyZerg moving into Starcraft 2. Also i noticed some comments on a Hong Kong forum aswell as in a Korean forum stating that it is JulyZerg.

Him, Hwasin, Yarnc, and Lux could form a team in jail. They'd probably be pretty good.

As far as I know Savior will be in jail very soon, and I doubt any company would let him play as a pro after the match fixing scandal. I would love to see him in SC2 though.
