He litterally put it in the spot that every terran has always done since this map was added
It's Rapid casting ByuN, did you expect objectiveness?
Sometimes I even wonder if these 2 are watching the game that they are casting. Valdes didn't even notice the existence of a Nydus until it appeared in ByuN's base

It was pretty favorable, 3/3 vs 2/2 with a bigger army and better concave. He just ran out of steam behind it because his economy is shit. A good trade wasn't good enough.

Traded a lot of marines for zerglings a couple of hydras and 1 infestor, I'd still call it a favourable engagement for Rogue.

He killed a lot of hydras, not just a couple, and a hatch. The problem was that the game was going so poorly that it didn't do enough. Before the fight Rogue was on a 4k bank so he could live even with heavy losses.
It's a tragedy that the only real high level series is kept from us until the end of the broadcast, at a time where WCS will likely have started already.
Valdez feet are on a beach somewhere in Europe, his shorts are in a 50's apple stealing situation and his upper body is on a Skype meeting at a tech company.
Haven't really been following the scene so much these days but why are hydralisks considered so much better than mutalisks these days alongside ling-bane?
EDIT: Is it because of the lower gas cost and thus an easier Hive transition, or is it because of a strategic desire to have more defensive firepower?

Unlike mutas they can actually trade okay in straight-up fights while they're not much worse at defending drops.
Also if you go ling-bane-hydra and it turns out your opponent actually went mech you don't even have to change comps

Mutas get wrecked by thors which got buffed (+1 base armor)

EDIT: Asking because I virtually never see LBM now
Well LBM was never really meta in LotV to begin with really.

If it's like stage 1 (and I don't see why it wouldn't be), it'll be map score first, then head-to-head.
