There was one game against Last think 5 days ago where went full on sauron Zerg with wave after wave of units against Last and finally broke him. Amazing really.
Lmao this game vs Flash. Not one moment it looked like Flash has barely any chance of winning. How do you deal with this kind of lategame? You can't even take one of his bases or harass them. At the end, he was just sitting on 5k minerals and 2k gas with 20 queens and constantly casting broodling on 5-6 tanks per minute while attacking 2 fronts with lings and ultras.
Looks like Larva makes 24 hour stream again. And starts off by beating Flash in another spectacular ZvT...
Well I think there is a reason he became so good. He is streaming everyday like at least 10 hours, now switching to 24 hour streams playing/watching BW. He is practicing like in Kespa days or even more. Not afraid to lose against those top guys, just spamming game after game. I don't know if he is so passionate or just wants to win ASL so badly :D but he is on the right track.
Watching Larva play ZvT is so satisfying. The guy just carries the same consistent tenacity early to late game. He is exemplary that Brood War is a game of mental endurance. .

Larva was really good back then too on post KeSPA era, was at finals on one of Sonic starleague where he ultimately lost to dominating player of that time Killer. He's now married and needs to feed his baby so he's trying even more hard. If he will overcome his offline mentality he has a good chance on ro8 spot. Mostly I saw about his ZvT on this thread but how about his ZvP? Can he defeat his nemesis Bisu if they will meet again?
Larva is the best ZvTer and ZvPer right now, his main enemy is his nerves for ASL4. Btw there are recent vBisu games on his channel, pretty good (part 2 should be on related):
https://youtu.be/0J2b37tbC5w?t=10m40ss Flash is making way and distracting with a group of mnm for a double drop. Larva definitely knew when and where those two dropships were coming. Flash needs new tricks
