Well, but you can still use Swarm Hosts without upgrade. Maybe that will allow you to do a bit earlier attacks with them?

Funny how you compare 2 tanks to 5-6 swarmhosts.

Okay, watched all the replays. This kind of play, needs new words to describe. I mean, its not cheesy and its not all-inny but its definitely not standard. It works by really messing up your opponent's multitasking skills.

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.
