Not really anything special, been done alot. Just that it was probably the first time it was executed live on the big big tournament. Its not really any build order that is specific. He probably just decided to go along with a bust because he figured his opponent would fell safe knowing that he would have an expansion when he really canceled it and made a hidden banelings nest. He probably considered that "if my opponent scout me at this time, i will bust him."

High probability that it might get closed again and your probably the same guy as before. Just wanted to warn you.
I may not be the best, but i will be some day...

you need to be really careful and use your lings to stop SCV's coming back... all terran players should hide an SCV somewhere so he can take a peek at the 'baneling' timing.

if terran spots the baneling nest he'll just make hellions, bunker CC and instant win.

another thing is that by putting the baneling nest at nat means even if the terran scans his main and see nothing, will automatically assumes that he expanded making him feel safer. Therefore this is a good strat.

I'm 100% sure I've seen this in a tournament before (hatch cancel trick bling bust)

It was on Steppes of war and the Zerg was on the south position, It was some no-name decent player, I don't remember who unfortunately.

So yeah its a cute play but it has been done before

yes there is an advantage to building the bling nest at the nat, it's that he doesn't have to run back to build on creep or waste a different drone and losing saturation. He keeps his saturation at his main while using a drone that was already going to make a building, simple time management.

Yes this is radical, but it's not new. It's faking your opponent out while building a blingnest and wasting zero travel distance time. What your opponent sees is a common speedling expand build, but that's wrong. The scouting scv is not going to scout there again because it will surely be lost because for all your opponent knows, getting gas before pool means speed. There is no chance in hell the terran is gonna scan your natural while it's hatching (because that's what he assumes due to your trickery). This is why this build was so shocking being seen on GSL because of how well thought out it was.

It was ST_Max who did this build the first on GOM TV in steppes of war. It was the team tournament between gsl 1 and gsl 2. Tastosis didn't comment this tournament that's why they were so pumped.

I didn't see the game, but did he cancel the hatch and use its leftover ooze to place a proxy baneling nest?
A man is what he thinks about all day long.

I think its funny how tastosis make fun of "nerds that say players are garbage for doing things like 6 pool, but when someone like SlayersBoxer cheese's they're so amazing and creative". They acted like a baneling bust with a slight trick (which may or may not of actually helped) was some god-like strategy just because it was JulyZerg doing it.

Tasteless had no idea you can do this, I'm pretty sure. He didn't even know about the evo chamber rush. That's his excuse.

There was nothing special about this. It was a baneling bust and nothing more.

Terran didn't even scout so regardless of the baneling nest being in the main or out at the expo he didn't see it comming and he was teching hard from the begining so it made it seem alot more devestating that a safer more conventional terran opener would have been.
