This should be the standard response to FFE every time all day every day forever:
You don't really understand the match-up do you?
Fine, I'll actually look at all the notable zvp games in the last 3 years and compare the win rates of hydra busts and economic builds like 12 hatch into no units and quick 3rds. I'll even disregard quick 4ths because that has like a 2/10 success rate and would drag the overall econ builds' win rate down.
Unless my memory is useless I still think hydra busts will come out ahead by a long shot. I will post the results in a new thread in a couple of days.
Unless my memory is useless I still think that in order to do a proper hydra bust u must take a quick 3rd (or as u say, 12 hatch into no units and quick 3rd) lol.
I know. What I mean is:
12 hatch - no units - quick third - droning/4th and 0 aggression
vs
12 hatch - no units - a quick third and then killing the opponent with a hydra bust
Gotta go and check those games now, talk to you later.

I thought threads going up 1 day before the event was the generally accepted way. Although with all the hype at the moment it is understandable that people want them earlier.

I like the part where Best finds out he's against JD, and his team mates are like "yeah you're screwed" even though that's not what they say haha.
Also
Bisu: There are less teams and less matches, so I probably can't match my last year's performance but I'll try to get as close as possible to that. I don't have a specific number in mind, so I'll just win every time I play. I personally think Samsung Khan will perform the best this season.
SKT vs Khan finals, that would be great

I could whip one out, but I don't have access to photoshop currently, I'll have to use one of those online sites T_T so I can't make anything fancy. I'll start making one now.

Uhmm, Overpool, -> double expand is the staandard build for ZvP for last season, and fast 3 base generally has been forever.. I ve idea what you are on about.
But i agree that Jaedong's probably the only Zerg still sticking with 3S5H as his staple ZvP style, most other Zergs seem to have moved away from that.
> Bisu: I'm not the one to comment on that, I was fielded because my coach wanted me to (laughs). In general, the maps this season aren't too favourable for Protoss.
Win game, complain about maps anyway. That's my boy.
Like I said. "QQ maps suck for Protoss" is just his secret code for, "I'm gonna shit on you all this season." :D

Ah, how refreshing its is to see Bisu complain about maps. I missed it so much :-)

Agreed. I love how he didn't waste any time, just calling all the maps unfavourable during a three Protoss winning interview. <3
