EPTSecond game he sat on 4k resources as you attacked.
I'm not entirely sold on the build, but it does sound pretty interesting in theory.

1)" Most zergs will be at about 100~120 food, tops." I watched both the replays and the zerg player could easily be at 200 as well. In jungle basin he had the money but did not spend and in caverns he also had the money but was not good enough with his queen spawn larva. Still a 200 terran vs 200 zerg should be in the terran's favor, but: the problem is you stick with marine marauder. The zerg simply destroyed the bio ball with ling-bling at jungle basin but somehow refused to finish you off. He let you come back twice actually. In caverns he should have had spend his money and made his larva and killed you. 2) "7. Perhaps the most important of all, it is disguised as a very aggressive 2rax+expo or 5rax-all-in, it forces things like spinecrawlers, early banelings, etc. to slow down the zerg economy." --- Scouting! Send an overlord over your base and lo what does he see. Four OC, small army= early aggression possibility. Cant imagine you forgetting that people can scout your build and easily counter it, because as I said: Only a bio ball wont be enough as you saw at junglebasin where you got wiped out by simply bling-ling. Overall i think it is an interesting build but not effective at its goal. The extra mules and faster scvs are great, but it leaves you very open to early attacks. Taking a third instead doing 2 base 4 OC, might get you to 200/200 as fast too and even make you stronger in the late game. Also not sticking with the bio ball would be a good idea. If you're going to 2 base, might as well take all the gasses and gets some medivacs. If the zerg was actually aggressive and harassed you with mutas, some forced stims would hurt your force pretty bad | ||

I know that's a lot of assumptions Wouldn't have to respond with colossus. They could respond with just stalkers and totally piss over the terran, unless he's mass bunkered. No gas until 33 supply. Then you need enough gas to make the tech lab, let it build, then get stim, and wait for stim timing to finish. That's not having stim for a LONGGG time. | ||

You should build some factories for Hellions, it is not like you need the gas so throw some factories out. It gives you a nice transition into mech after your waves of bio hurt zerg enough. Edit: I like the concept but I think that you won't be able to get away with 4 OC. Maybe 3... I think that this is definitely a good way of thinking about TvZ atleast. :D | ||

How close can a zerg come to matching this if they recognize the build and make almost 0 units and just drone like a mofo? | ||

better infestor use would be very nice to see as well | ||

One really good thing I noticed: at one point, both my bases got basically all the scv's killed by simultaneous infestor play. It didn't hurt that bad. I had 4ccs to make scvs, and still made insane minerals off the mules. Idk how practical it is for 1v1's but I have not tried it. It is a lot of fun, however. | ||

When I saw the BO, and those CCs, it just looked HILARIOUS. But definitely legit! Also interesting part about the oversaturation. I'm not quite sure but what you're saying seems to be that the "limit" you could say of mining the minerals from 2 bases can actually provide the same income as if you had 3 workers per mineral patch for 3.5 bases? Or are you saying that using MULEs rather than all SCVs will give you that kind of income? Love how you incorporated a little math too. WOW was gonna ask a question but after reading the thread about MULEs, i did not know that MULEs could mine at the same time as the SCV!!! Lol I guess I should have known o.o Well now I know what you mean by oversaturation haha. Thanks again for sharing and for the work, I hope I will have fun with this  | ||

I don't really think the 4OC openings are viable after watching your replays. I've scaled down my tests to 2-3 so that like...it works. | ||
