too much minerals, they get kicked quickly, they take too long to finish. Could at least make 8 more lings


8 lings << 2 spines. Marines and scv's are actually very bad against spines, especially when you protect them with drones. I really want to see ret his opinion on the fast spines when you scout 2rax.

nestea fucked up his drone/ling control pretty bad there but hatch first is the only choice really...hency why steppes is auto loss vs terran, im sure nestea expected to lose set 2


Listen to ret. All those non-zerg players telling us just to pool first and we would be fine should get a practice partner and try that on steppes. then we talk again

If you pool-first early enough, the first inject will come before you're dead. Also, 14 gas-pool can hold this pretty well.

Pool first can defend the super early scv all-in, but it loses to the later mass marine buildup because of production.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

Except, a smart player would see no tech or anything and realize that there must be a hidden expo somewhere.

If you read what Ret said if you do that you are in a position to be bunker blocked at ramp (on most maps with it) which your not gonna break with just zerglings
When I think of something else, something will go here

Have fun getting wall-inned because you pooled first.

I still don't see how hatch first is better. You pull all your drones off of mining anyway so you can't even use all your larva anyway. Pool first get a spinecrawler, then get an in base hatch if you need the larva so badly. Expand once you defend everything. It's certainly a lot safer than trying to hatch first against someone that is rushing you. It just makes no sense when you know some kind of very fast rush is coming to go for an econ build as opposed to a defensive build.

Because the terran is going to scout no pool and no hatch and say "well I guess this previous GSL winner is herp derping and just saving all his minerals".

Quoting for 10th time for truth.

And this is one of reasons why this site is full of win, people from team, pro players, actualy bother to post here

But biggest win wa Jinro post GO MC, when MC won RO 16, while he was waiting in box for his own game
MC:" 2nd game i all in, he drone he drone, me win."

i used to hate this all in stuff but I understand why terran does it. Mid game and late game you cannot stop zerg unless you are at least on par with bases. once zerg can mass banelings the game is over. perfect micro is needed and you just cant have perfect marine micro every game. Too many variables. Blizz needs to work on this so we can have more even macro games. my 2 cents.


If Jinro can win a macro game against zergs, then I expect these Korean Terrans who are supposed to be the best in the world to do it as well.


I'm not convinced that style is viable untill he pulls it off vs a top-level zerg which Moon is not. Moon played very poorly in their series and failed to capitalize on Jinro's passive play. He never even got hive up in either game


True, if he can pull that style off against NesTea or FruitDealer then I will believe its possible. I don't think I've ever seen a Terran survive the Brood Lord/Ultralisk tech switch.


Ye, the big problem with that style is that a Zerg who reacts properly will just take the map and tech quickly to Broodlords instead of investing too much in troops. Once Broodlords come out, Jinro's marine/tank mix just gets stomped hard. Maybe Jinro has a solution for that problem but Ill believe it when I see it

Hence why I said it might have to be pool first to make sure that Terran does not suspect an FE, bolded it out in my quote
