No. It's because of the number of minerals. Terran and protoss can continue making workers and receive a LOT more money and saturation than they would on a low money map or hunters. 15 mineral patches = a ton of money for toss and terran. Normally, say, you have 9 drones on low money, that's 1 drone on each patch. On BGH, it's 9/15. On BGH, once T or P has more than 8 miners, they're already getting more money than comparative time on low money. Zerg isn't, if they 9 pooled. The economic imbalance builds up enormously over time. You might ask if it's possible to just 12h and make pure drones and keep up that way. Yes, it is possible to keep up in workers, but then your tech and units will be wayyy behind and you will have no defense either. The economy problem is insurmountable. Zerg is only strong early game with good 9p micro and late game when they have enough drones to equal the P or T economy. Imagine going 9p, and by the 9 minute mark you're still making lings, you have maybe 10, 11 drones. The P has 40 probes mining, and he's still not entirely saturated, plus he can expo and saturate those 10 patches at nat easily. He can produce far more zealots than normal by around the 3-4 minute mark when he starts getting more money than on low money (i.e. 10+ probes) and can then afford say 6 gate zealot when on low money 3 gate would still be economically demanding. At that point, your lings no longer match him as they would in low money. Zerg falls off exponentially as the game progresses.

I love BGH, especially when I'm playing with my homies.

Try channel "motel" (without quotes) on USEast for some decent 1v1ers or low money players, you might even find some BGHers there too.

I must admit though, marlboro has seen it's fair share of drama recently, what not with all the hackers running rampant nowadays -_- (BTW, If you see i.Own, say hi to him for me, he's the most GOSU BGHer in existence, /end sarcasm)

Some good tips in BGH:

Have a good and creative title; try not to stack teams unless you're playing with friends,

The most common build for Protoss in BGH is most definitely 2gate-zealot pump, into whatever tech build you wish. For Terran, it's probably a wall-in with 1fact starport into tank drop, god dam noobs don't know anything else besides that -_-. And for zerg, it's probably 9pool or 12hatch-11pool.
