This information, though it might seem obvious, maybe new to a lot of the Starcraft community. I agree entirely with this. However, I do think that if zerg had a more robust style of play, it would be immune to all of these cheesy tactics. Take terran for example. How do you catch them off guard? You can't build air because marines own every air unit, you can't build cloaked units because there are scans. Sure enough you can catch them off guard with these, but you get my point. Zerg absolutely can not win if they have no evo or lair when dts start attacking, and they can't do anything about 2 port banshee with 2 queens and no spores, and they will die to rushes they can't scout. There are definitely safe builds, and you can do them every game and against a player who takes risks, you can definitely exploit the safe build to some extent, but I feel that Zerg is such a powering race (they go hardcore drones or hardcore units) that every Zerg matchup is very fragile. Especially with the larva inject mechanic, if you devote 2 hatch's larva injects to drones, that's 8 larva you don't have in the battle, and 400 minerals that could be in your army to save you from dying. It's timings like this that make it ridiculously frustrating to play zerg at times, and I feel that IdrA is one of the players who is extremely good at the game, but is easily tilted, and as long as the game works in this way, I don't see IdrA becoming a truly great player unless he switches race or can deal with his attitude towards the game. He is trying to fix the issue, I know, but we'll have to see if we can see a new IdrA the next time his opponent kills their own command center.
