The commentators were saying something like this:
He forced the Z to go Roaches with an early 2 gate +1 attack then went air while the Z was forced to waste his time with the Zealots.
This is... +1 timing with no warpgate. That like... should just not work. Like, to be fair I've seen stuff with a similar concept, but you do it with warp gate.

Something similar to that but weaker and you transition out of it by teching behind it.
I dunno if the rocks blocking the 2nd to 3rd path help on Ohana but IIRC you needed warp gate to punish fast 3rd on Tal'Darim where a like... chasm would separate your 2nd and 3rd (but it's a longer rush distance than Ohana, so I dunno). And upon closer inspection, not screwing up and making two roach warrens also really helps <_<. So does not losing a roach for no good reason <_< (interestingly, a roach will lose to a zealot if you don't micro it).
Oh BTW, the commentators are saying that Protoss is kind of dominating the scene right now(which never happened in BW... T.T), is that true? I'm thinking they might be just saying that for the BW pros' games, since they don't cast SC2 and they're fairly new at casting SC2 games.
Eh... MarineKing (obviously terran) is probably the best player overall right now I think. Biggest tournament (GSL Code S) was won by a terran (a protoss was in 2nd, but IMO, Squirtle just has good PvT and got lucky and matched up against people with mediocre/poor PvP). It's generally considered that protoss and terran are the strongest right now, though. I haven't seen any recent win rate data tho. The last dataset was... weird? It showed like a +10% shift in win rates for protoss even though nothing happened. (okay, the patch hit, but it hit really late in the month with basically no impact on win rates because it was an upgrade no one really figured out).
