I think Korean Terrans are switching to it because they can rely on their control and map awareness to fight back in to the game and secure a reasonable 3rd. A bunch of queens is a defensive build yet it forces Terrans to cut corners a lot to keep up economically. In my experience it is harder to deny zerg information, figure out what they are doing in time, keep the threat of attack on them and time your expansions in away that you can stay in the game compared to forcing as much stuff early on as possible and delaying the third base. | ||

You don't have any earlier pressure going 1 rax FE, you don't even have minerals to attempt a fake Bunker pressure and you get only 3 Marines before making add-ons with your Barracks. Honestly it's not a big deal, I doubt Zerg economy is light years ahead compared with gasless 5' third with earlier Queens. Thing is neither is your economy light years ahead. Rax first is actually really close to CC first in terms of economy. I just did a test and over an 11 minute build you gain 4 seconds by going CC first, it's nothing. Also the moment you feel the need to scout on 10 or build a bunker you end up equal or behind a rax first build. I mean CC first is fine, but it's not better than rax first. If you can bait out a 6 pool and win then that's fantastic, but most zergs know better. | ||

But I think that playing the same build with a more passive opening is a mistake because of when the econ advantage kicks in. My TvP build is so exact that if I lose more than 1 scv in the first 6 minutes or have to use a scan, I definitely feel like I am dirt poor. In the other two matchups, I don't have anything figured out yet so I make it up on the fly. But for someone that actually plays more than once a week and doesn't just lurk TL from work and post from their phone, I would think that the extra 3 scvs and earlier mule would make a huge difference... | ||

Do you have any stats for the difference between CC-before-rax and rax-before-CC(economy wise)? at 5:00 12 rax 16 cc (1 depot) 700 mineral income. 14cc (i like it because of rax timing, 15 cc is weird) 1000 mineral income | ||

I am 1450-1500 Masters this season zerg. and I 12 pool expand nearly every zvt. Vs 1 rax expand, I can get my 6 lings there in time to kill the scv making the cc, and kill all the rines. Pretty much force the cancel, and I am ahead. With CC first. My lings get there RIGHT when its done. Then the CC is lifted up, and I am behind. ^_^ | ||
