WoW those Ultras rape everything! Especially buildings ^^ Really liked that one, even that they were confused with SC1 Strategies(Terran massed Dropships cause of healing, and Zerg massed Hatcheries instead of Queens :P).
And those banelings seems really good in mass, they eat buildings! Nice Ultra burrow micro :P
I have just watched other one that you linked, I WANT THIS GAME SO FUCKING MUCH!!!

Battlecruisers are so epic. Zerg winning!
Re: DreamHack 2009 Videos
It's scary how incredibly versatile the Terrans are in SC2. It's made even easier for them to turtle with innate depot submersion and the planetary fortress, and the reactor allows them to quickly amass an army to respond to specific threats. At this point I'm pretty convinced the Terrans are too powerful while the Zerg are too weak, and videos like these just reinforce that notion.
Man those Thor's are hideous.

Thanks for those latest videos, TychusFindlay! They made my night :P.
I must say, even with their damage boost, I didn't expect those Hydras to fare so well against the new-and-improved Battlecruisers. I thought that Battlecruisers would be significantly better due to their increased hitpoints and damage, but those Hydras took them out at a very respectable rate. Maybe it's just because the Terran player didn't reach a certain 'critical mass' of Battlecruisers, but that still went much better for the Zerg player than I would have thought.
I kinda felt that the Terran player threw that game away. He had gotten into such a good position after that successful Marine/Siege tank drop which took out a ton of Hydralisks and an expansion. By right, I think he should have won, but going for Battlecruisers with little support against all those Hydras struck me as a bad decision.
On the other hand, it was really great seeing that Zerg endgame army in that game. Seeing mass Thors or mass Ultralisks isn't a whole lot of fun, but I love big armies, especially from Zerg players :P. Brood Lords have made me smile in every game I've seen them in so far, and I'm glad they had a chance to do a little more damage in this game. They were a lot of fun to watch and it feels so Zergy that their very attacks make more Zerg.
As for that third game - YIKES! That was some absolutely sick synergy between Psi Storm and Force Field. Very good stuff from the Protoss player - I really felt sorry for the Zerg :[.
