Spanishiwa, we all know him; he came out of nowhere and into the spot light with his "innovative" zerg build.
In my recent experiences there are a lot of fan boys using his build on ladder at the moment in high Masters. The thing that bothers me though is that everyone seems to be copying a player who in my opinion isn't that talented.
This may seem ironic as my skill level is nowhere near that of any pro player but I label Spanishiwa as nothing more than a build order winner. Sure it was cool that he came up with something new; and I do agree that his build counters a variety of other builds thus enabling zerg's ability to make drones en mass.
The problem with this though is that now, because everyone knows Spanishiwa's play style his default build order win button is nullified. Simply take his recent game vs. Drewbie. Spanishiwa failed to demonstrate any adaptability in his build to counter what Drewbie was doing.
So my plea to the SEA community is to stop using Spanishiwa's build as a staple. Ensure that you work on your game as a whole with different builds.
Otherwise I'm just going to rape you every game gg~
