People don't avoid going hatch first because they're afraid of being walled. They avoid going hatch first because of all the other annoying stuff Toss can do it.

Yes, cannons is one...

But don't forget stalker pressure, zealot+cannon all-ins, and all the other aggressive one base plays that are lses good but still scary to deal with for Zergs who hatch first.

People just need to adapt to drone drills like they did in BW. "TLDR: It is broken and should be fix." is just a retarded thing to say at this point. Actually that's where I stopped reading. Bad post 1 star.
It's more important to be tough than to have any fun.

I'm not,its a huge gamble to do pull a drone drill chances are you won't be successful most of the time.

I was being serious but I said it like a troll.

the only person I can count on to pull it off is July.

Haha.. The game on Troy?

But then again, what you're suggesting is that a cheese is taking 'skill to do'. I mean, some do take skill to a certain point like Leta's 2 port, but I mean a cheese is still a cheese is it not? I mean, what's more difficult. Playing a full macro game or just doing some all-in and hoping you win.

i mean vortex was in the same category right? no one get a mothership ever and there is a huge risk into using it. but shit still happens and people still lose and blizzard still patch.

Imagine moon vs HuK in dream hack on taldarim. Moon 6 pools and huk defend it with a cutting probe wall off, what if you can drone drill it while attacking with the 6 zerglings? (notice how drone do stack over lings while mining). The wall could have gone down much faster and screw shit over.

@MrBitter: i dont know. Considering a map such as taldarim, P always forge first and Z can drone scout everything with 1 drone (yeah every Z drone scout on that map). I see no way to put pressure on Z considering i have to put 150 mineral on cannon sooner or later. I really dont see Z could be at risk if they scout properly with their drone scout. May be it just that i dont know enough cheese to make things happen but undoubtedly the drone drill make hatch first much more viable than what it was before. As soon as you dont see a nexus at P nature around 16 food (no forge) or 18 food (forge), you should expect a cannon rush.
Im daed. Follow me @TL_NB
