upgrades are also essential.
he probably wins lots of games anyways because most toss players dont have the micro and FF ability you do. that is, most toss players suck and you dont. haha.
Melee upgrades are definitely critical to ling/bling, but I'd much rather transition into corruptor->BL rather than ultralisks, unless you have a really massive surplus of resources. Overlord drops are also important, but imo most of their use is in dropping onto the protoss army rather than for harassment. Obviously, against a bad opponent it's great to drop 4 blings on the mineral line, but with the recent popularity of ling/bling I see a lot of toss players camping blink stalkers in their mineral lines which makes it very easy to shut down that kind of harassment. And, as Gospy points out, if you're actually dropping a lot of supply into the toss base, he's likely to just all in you.
