Going 12 hatch is not some right every zerg has. You can't expect to start with an instant expasion with a booming economy every game on every map without the posibility of getting punished. With every economy build comes a RISK. If you want to 12 hatch you better know how to prevent getting owned by cheese. | ||

I am merely stating the fact that i find it rather funny that this MOTW list has multiple maps where zerg HAS to do a strat (particularly pool first) builds- for no reason other than to watch out for early game shit. I think that is ridiculous. Likewise as a non-chessing protoss I find I always have to use my 9th probe (10 supply) to build forge asap cause zergs will 4poo/9pool/overpool much more often. And btw, I think zerg in zvp has one of the most powerful cheeses. 2 hat hydra. If protoss can't scout it, he's fucked unless he gets like 4-5 cannons + 1 control group of probes to defend | ||

But thats the risk protoss takes when going FE. | ||

If you want to 12 hatch you better know how to prevent getting owned by cheese. Defensive 12hatch (in the main) is safe in every matchup except ZvZ, and still safe vs. 9pools without aggressive sunken. If you are cheesed (or non-proxy-2gated and contained) your sweet economy should let you break out pretty easily. 9overlord 12hatch (main) 11pool 13hatch (nat) (place in main or skip for faster hydra/muta against some aggressive plays) Is acceptable against P/T, and the delay in mining at your nat's minerals shouldn't cost all that much. Not every build can be done in the same way as if you 12hatch expo, but it's safer and gets the full drone count until the fourth hatchery (which is delayed by the lost minerals).

If you feel the need to classify, 3hat hydra is an aggressive strat while 2hat hydra is cheese. | ||

I realize at the start of the season you can't be sure of what skill level you are playing against, but that is merely more reason to play cautiously. | ||

Also, it's your bloody fault for trying to 12hatch on Tau Cross, seriously. That's just asking to get screwed. There's just seriously 0 reasons for you to 12hatch at all on these two maps. They're going to scout you early, and it's not like you lose any eco from going 9pool or overpool vs Protoss FE. And Terrans always always always pull out disgustingly frustrating builds on 2 player maps. You can't really do much about that. It's always been like that. | ||

Zerg can never be ahead, only even. That is the price we pay for playing the least boring race. | ||

That is the price we pay for playing the least boring race. Is the complaint that you don't have to buy detectors to have detection? LOL. If Protoss scatters their Pylons around the map and accidentally forgets to build one in their base, we get fucked too... | ||

Had exatcly game like this last season You cannot possibly expect people to 9 drone scout ZvP on 2 player maps. Also PLEASE use something called grammar, your post was nearly unreadable. Honestly I dont get all the OP bashing either, yeah going 12 hatch on tau cross in ZvP isnt smart, yeah a better player would have defended better, yeah it's a bit whiny, but I bet at least 70% of all the bashing people nerdrage themselves when they get cheesed. + Show Spoiler + bye bye fanatacist, I used to like his posts but I'm glad he got temp banned, he's just been a fucking dick lately | ||

Anyways back to the topic, I used to go 12hatch against P but then got tired of all the cheese and stuff. 9pool all the way, you'd be surprised how many greedy tosses there are and how many free points you'll get. Also, DO NOT send a drone out to scout at 9 unless you are planning on going overpool and digging out back minerals.

Not if the Protoss is on 3 bases. | ||
