Last night I had a dream that Hwasin was playing against a random Terran in a best-of-5 series. Needless to say, Hwasin demolished his opponent in a convincing shut-out victory; but what was really surprising was the incredible new strategy he showcased. I confidently predict that within a matter of weeks every single TvT game will revolve around this powerful new strategy, and StarCraft players worldwide will soon be refining it and devising counters. You're probably wondering what was so amazing about Hwasin's play in this series. Well I'll tell you: It wasn't the perfectly-executed, surgical infantry drops that crippled the opponent's economy. It wasn't the prescient game sense that enabled him to know exactly when and where his opponent would attack. It wasn't even the mass barracks floats onto his opponent's island expansions.
+ Show Spoiler +It was the defilers.
Hwasin's defiler micro was pure art in this series. Plagued supply depots and turrets burned down all by themselves while Hwasin's frantic opponent struggled to defend on three fronts and couldn't spare the attention to repair them. Plagued units were cut to pieces by stim-packed marines. Again and again, fans cheered wildly as Hwasin's conquering forces advanced under cover of Dark Swarm, crushing enemy fortifications with merciless efficiency. And when the defilers were low on energy, Hwasin demonstrated his incredible multitasking skill and attention to detail by always consuming the marine that had the least health. You can forget about Savior and Jaedong --- Swarm Terran has arrived.
Unfortunately no VODs of this series are available, but I wish you'd seen it. If you had, you would agree with me: Hwasin for PP 2008.
Peace~

HOLY CRAP!!! HWASIN FTW
But...... Isn't it rather difficult for terran to have swarm? Unless he played protoss in a 2v2 and MCed a scv + drone then teched up, Yea that could work.

swarm terran; hell, it's about time.

oh oh! and he should build mass command centres and infest himself, then nuke+infested terran... yeah!
|
I usually watch VODs as I'm falling asleep, so there have been plenty of times where I dream of archons at the local campus bars or being units in a StarCraft game or finding hydralisks in my refrigerator. But yeah that is a sick TvT strategy, if he could pull it off it would so be money.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS!

They were playing team melee. 3 slots terran, 1 random. Hwasin just got lucky and got zerg every time.

ROFL! I laughed pretty hard right there.
Having a start like this is possible with 'team' battles 
(Or whatever that thing is called when you get like 1 workor unit from each race)

Holy shit. I never thought of that.
Perhaps he can also make mass ebays and crush every unit and building on the map. Imba.
