The only replay to score full marks on creativity. Kwark's submission using a Dark Archon rush to mind-control an overlord and bash a lurker force without robo tech comes close, but since it's an invention of GARIMTO (for the same purpose, in fact) & has been widely discussed here on TL, it's not enough to grab full marks. Ninja's build offered a completely fresh take on using Medics in TvP, something that all Terrans dream about, but oftentimes simply don't have the stones to expend so much resources in place of a FD or Siege CC build. I know I don't. Adding a dropship and hitting a timing window that is deceptively broad, with a complete follow-up plan, is the pinnacle of inventing your own ridiculous strategies.

Meh, I think if the points were out of 10, it would have gotten 9/10, as opposed to 5/5. Not only have many people thought of this strategy already, but I've actually seen this strategy on randomKo_Orean's thread about testing strategies~
It really didn't show off the build at all, because his opponent was just so bad. I mean, he didn't mine gas for 3 minutes because he sent his probes to his assim too early and he has no concentration lol. So he builds up 500 minerals randomly and then ques up 3 zealots... Sorry, but even if the medics hadn't existed in that game it would have been exactly the same T.T
I think I've done it a few times too if it's what I'm thinking of (thought obviously not against mondragon!)
