Why are morons who had never played Brood War saying a spider mine is the same as a baneling mine? Holy hell, have any of you at least watched a BW pro game? Spider mines do less damage due to how the game mechanics are, fill a very specific niche without which the game would basically be unplayable in TvP, AND introduce a lot of very intense, very high-level micro tricks, ie shooting the mines down, kiting them into tanks, forcing shuttle use, etc.

Baneling mines are absolutely NOT necessary for the game to be 'balanced' the way spider mines were (one could argue Z is slightly weaker than T in the match up, but not massively so); and a single lucky baneling hit can literally turn ANY game from a clear loss to an instant win. There isn't, and never was, a single unit or ability in Starcraft - either BW or WoL - that is anywhere close to the amount of instawin like a burrowed baneling is.

I'm not saying there isn't a way to counter bling mines, I'm not saying it wasn't Boxer's fault he lost that game - but as a spectator, I think it's fucking ridiculous that a guy can be stomping his opponent for 20 minutes, then lose to literally 50 min/gas and 2 clicks. It's a dumb mechanic, period.

Demuslim has played cheesy every game I've seen him play. Vs Protoss he 1 rax fast expands with command center on lower ground into 5 rax, vs zerg he either 2 raxes or reactor helion into hidden expo on low ground and fast hidden 3rd base.
