Game starts around 37:00, but if you just want to see the awesome part skip to 48:26.

Yeah that was an awesome game.
Honestly not as surprised as iNcontroL that it worked. I mean the reason why "standard" is standard against Zerg (constantly harassing to keep larva count low and break a Zerg's 4th) is because it has always been possible since WoL beta for Zerg to power a ton of drones, build a bank, then a-move anything (banes, muta, whatever) into your opponent, then remax quicker and win the game. I mean this exact scenario is the story of lower rank ladder games every day.
Nor am I surprised it was Soo. He has always liked to power on drones hard when he can. I still remember that game in late HOTS (Proleague I think) where he went up to like 88 supply of corruptors against sky Terran. Same reasoning, suicide them all into Terran and remax quicker. He lost that game, but it was just as amazing to watch as this one was.
It WAS surprising that Soo made it work against Zest, of course. But that was more on Zest than on Soo.

Not saying it was a serious game by Soo of course. Just saying it isn't like he was purposely throwing the game. I bet he does this in casual practice games all the time.
