strange to give all the money to the winner. it encourages players to use what they're familiar with instead of trying the new swarmhosts.
Sorry for that, was kinda my fault, it's not that way. The money will be split between the winner and the loser (winner decides the split). :-)
Best regards

This first game of Snute against GoOdy is awesome! :D
Snute still is figuring out how to use new Swarm Hosts, but it is Mech against Swarm Host game and there is no turtling, lol.

just tuning in, it seems like SHs are still used in the old way....? -.-

as Demuslim said, it went from being impossible to move against wave after wave of locusts to having a mobile battle with one deadly wave of locusts once in a while.
And Snute's using infestors and vipers to support the locusts every wave since you have to make every wave count now.

frankly i dont see a difference, they seem to spawn all the time. how long is the locust spawn timer?

It is first game, and I don't think he is using them exactly the same way they were used before... He was aggressive with SHs when he had the chance to be, defended when he had to. He also positioned his Swarm Hosts to make a huge arc of flying Locusts so they won't be killed by Thors and having flanks against Tanks. He also needs to support his Swarm Hosts and is constantly moving them around, they are not shoot and forget kind of unit anymore.
He was also attacking Terran base from "dead space".
HOLY SHIT WHAT AN ENGAGEMENT BY SNUTE. :O

Nah, he just has 30 of them, and is using like half of them or something like that. They last for 30 seconds now, cooldown is 60 seconds, which is huge timing window.
And I don't know how you aren't seeing the difference when GoOdy is the one that is aggressive the whole game, that wasn't happening in any TvZ mech game before....
