I'm curious to see if builds that don't save up for the maximum possible mutas (at least, not unless the see signs of high aggression from the Terran) when the spire finishes are viable or not. You could afford significantly more larva, or earlier upgrades/hive. | ||

Can't believe that TvZ was almost 30% at one point, lol, I'm guessing that was led by JD and his mutas... It was ZvT, not TvZ lol. Other way around dude. No way TvZ is ever going to be that low with all the crazy things they can do to zergs. | ||

July used minerals to keep the mutalisk stacked instead of grouping them with overlords though. He was the only zerg player who was capable of doing such tricks with mutalisks until Shark figured out how to keep them permanently stacked. Can't seem to find any VODs, but this highlight video has some of the mutalisk stack micro July first showcased in his debut stage. Micro that we take for granted these days were nonexistent back when July was around, and his level of micro really was years ahead of his time. I remember watching all his moves in absolute awe. Those were the days. + Show Spoiler + a bit late here, but... july was performing sick mutalisk micro back in '04, but he was also the person that really made modern stacking known as well. I don't know about the Korean community, but it was this game that made stacking well known to the foreign scene and it caused at least a couple threads here on tl after it happened | ||

I dont think the earlier 2nd rax has had as big of an impact in TvZ as the "mass tank late game" first popularized by fantasy vs JD on outsider from SPL finals has had. Pretty much every Terran transitions into many tanks (or even pure mech variants) in the late game now, and then there's the added strategy by flash of just taking half the map and turtling until the zerg has to leave. | ||

The fast 2nd rax was definitely a paradigm shift by Flash but he stopped doing it after a while and other Terrans that tried to do the same thing just couldn't (Fantasy, for example). I definitely do agree with you that the late game mass tank transition was more important, particularly in how Flash definitely showed multiple times that by playing in such a way a 4+gas Zerg no longer seems like an unbeatable opponent. | ||

Nah, when Yarnc and Lux were actually trying and not throwing games, they were pretty damn good at ZvT. For the longest time, they were considered ZvT specialists who knew jack shit about ZvP. But when 2 hatch muta first came out, these two, along with other zergs were using it like mad and Terrans had a tough time adapting. That's when you see something like near 33% win rate for TvZ. | ||
