yeah Hyuk is known for high APM spam. Also he's SKT1's captain.

If you watch carefully in the fpvod (If you did ) . He knows he has the advantage and he has the ability to manage and flank his armies is what made savior the management zerg . Edit : My description of savior style of play is really shallow compared to ver who greatly describe and analyse why he is the god of battlefield http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=226236 I know this is probably blasphemy, but it sounds like stephano to me. | ||

Defiler 2.0 looks to me like a hybrid of old bw defiler and tyranid tongue units that is able to pull in crucial units from far and chew on it . Warhound and that hellion transformation makes me think of BW TvP mech opening is viable again. If Defiler 2.0 can consume units to spawn more dark swarm 2.0 ..... I am in lols . I can't help but think that doom drops are going to return in hots , imagine dropping defiler 2.0 and a pack of lings with it on a enemy natural or the main base . Things are looking very interesting in hots. the viper's ability is essentially disruption web. The swarm host is sort of lurker-esque, but the locusts move too slow imo. Hellion transform is like firebat...warhound has aoe antiair, but anti-mechanical air to ground, so somewhat different than a goliath, plus slower/stronger. Tempest has corsair-like aoe but it's a 300/300 cost capital ship. Those are all the BW similarities I can think of. They added some stupid shit in too like any building becoming a cannon (lol gas rush), nexus recall and a unit that copies enemy units :\ Zerg changes I'm looking forward to, everything else is quite underwhelming. | ||

But I thought corsair disruption web totally disrupts the unit below from doing anything , that viper or defiler 2.0 makes the unit range attacking lowered to 1 . | ||

And I agree with him the viper is one (well, more or less the only real one...) step in the right direction. Even though, yeah, dweb...

Hello, how to die to one dropship and 4 vultures lategame Exactly hyuk dies to fantasy shenanigans a lot of time especially vulture mine drag by his hydralisk lols and vulture harassed .I was highlighting the fact hyuk has great apm but has no strategy or game sense at all with the video  . | ||

Don't get me wrong I think BW is the superior game, but it is the players I watched over all these years I'm most interested in. Seeing our beasts we have in BW giving SC2 a shot is exciting. Then I believe, and yes this is also a very biased hope, many current SC2 top players will fall and meet their new masters. | ||

Looking at the talent pool sc2 has right now I hope you are wrong man after all foreign scene finally have their own heroes and than to suddenly get killed by an over flow of broodwar pro's in to your game and dominated solely by korean like bw . Do you really want that to happen ? Here's a game of Flash versus Infernal in last year's wcg , infernal was totally dissected and messed around like a toy in his hand . I think the video is really self explanatory to what happens when bw team totally convert to sc2 . | ||

More like the old rulers have come back from vacation and want their thrones back from the jesters of the court. | ||
