Maybe that will allow you to do a bit earlier attacks with them? if you're talking about enduring locusts, wouldn't hitting earlier be offset by the fact that the locusts will not last as long and will therefore have less damage to deal? | ||

I think the difference here is that the 5-6 tanks would have to stay there and themselves be receiving damage from defensive forces while 5-6 swarm hosts releases 10-12 locusts to do the damage and the swarm hosts themselves never actually (if you have good control or your opponent is bad) receive any damage. To be persnickety, the same thing would be the case if it was dropping 2 tanks versus dropping 2 swarm hosts. | ||

Cheese works because you don't see it coming. All-ins work to exploit timings. Safe and standard works by covering all your bases properly. The Terran MMM drop works by shock-and-awe, dealing burst damage that you need to anticipate or else you are fucked. This drop? You don't get shocked, you slowly realize what is happening and you scramble to deal with it. More like the flu that comes on slowly as opposed to a punch to the head that knocks you out instantly. I describe this kind of play whith the word saucy. It's a meal that's full of sauce. Whereas eating cheese gives that slightly sour, sharp, sometimes crumbly but creamy and chewy taste --a saucy meal flows in your mouth somewhat. Its not soup, that you can slurp on about, but you still cant chew it like you can do with cheese. It can fill your mouth with flavor just like cheese and all its kinds, but sauce gives you a more juicy experience. Loosing to cheese gives you that sour feeling like eating too much cheese. Loosing to sauce? It feels like you dipped to deep or poured to much. "Well, that was too much, next time ill need more meat with that." If we can describe Starcraft as a pizza, with cheese, sauce, bread and toppings. Then definitely, this kind of play, is saucy saucy saucy. Really saucy. | ||

Honestly, I feel that you are abusing your opponent's obvious surprise. I have watched the first two replays, and you can see the protoss players running around like a headless chicken. Splitting your swarm hosts in the opponent's base is super smart, you keep on doing damage, but he has to put observers in many different spots. Good job! | ||
