I am liking Sleep's Muta/Hydra play.
I have been telling Zerg players for some time that Hydra were under used, they always whine and say hydras are to slow, though they are same speed as Zealots (before charge upgrade) or Marines/Marauders (when not stimmed).
Sleep is the first player I have actually seen that really seems to have a real well thought out method of using them.
He uses the Muta's mobility to draw enemy out of position, while the ling/Hydra keep striving for position.
Nice transition into Broodlord Infestor, with Ultra to follow that up, wish i could see all the upgrades he chose.
He was upgrading the Air Attacks, Mutas had +2 attack when broodlords came out he got +3 attack.
I'm guessing he is upgrading Melee attack and Air Attack, because that really boosts the Broodlords, plus the melee upgrades allow for stronger tech switch/transition to Ultras. The Ultras work better vs smaller armies, because they have splash if they get surround they will do a lot of DPS with splash, plus Broodlords force Stalkers and HT. The Ultras do good vs smaller numbers of Stalkers with ling or Infestor support.
Really cool Game 2, wish I would have seen Game 1, or more than the last half of Game 2.
I think adding some Queens would have helped for Transfuse on the Mutas, and creep spread, the Mutas were doing a good job of pinning Protoss in his bases and giving map control. Creep spread would have really boosted the power of the Hydras.
I would have also liked to see a Nydus, more for withdrawing Hydras or dropping an offensive worm somewhere the Mutas flew over.
Muta/ling plus Nydus has a lot of synergy. Been waiting to see that, saw it for the first time a week or two ago, some Korean (I think) Zerg used it against Grubby. First time they used against Grubby he was forced to GG. Second time he was more prepared for it, but it still seemed very viable.
