I guess a 2 base style obligates you (or anyone who uses it) do some damage early on while already the tech of choice has already been made, while a 3 base style offers a more defensive style and adapt to this option if it seems like the better choice.

You can get more Gas quicker with a 2 Base Opener. Especially in aggressive Metas where you will often need to defend I find it easier to play 2 Base Openers. I can fully focus on surviving their damage and then punishing them with my Gas Units instead of getting more drones, offering them time to Respond.

This should be the final video on this build.

Using pure Infestor Hydra (prepatch) for an insane comeback vs Skytoss.

I am only around 6.1k MMR and it works kinda okayish for me. The metashift to Oracle --> Mass Adept definitly made the game harder for me though

The really good thing about this style is you can blind counter/metagame Protoss that go for 2 base adept into 3rd because you can block the adept attack and then kill their third with swarmhosts = you now win the game.

Probably good to get a freewin in a bo3/bo5 since a Protoss won't expect the style.

Surprisingly accurate analysis. If you go straight Swarmhost that is usually how I win the Games.



This Video shows pretty much what Avilo is mentioning here. Defend their Attack and kill them with the Swarmhost follow up.
It also works vs Archon Drop:
