Naniwa expects leenock to rebuild tech buildings at expansions as soon as his main is seized by naniwa, even before one single building actually has been destroyed. So naniwa doesnt want to waste time killing buildings when his economy is broken and his only chance to win is to deny leenocks mining bases and get there before 40 spines appear etc. He had to know that Leenock didn't have enough money to do that so easily though, otherwise he'd have encountered an instant remax. You can't assume stuff like this. Leenock not instantly remaxing could mean he had no money or he had no larvae. If you assume he had no money, you still can't assume he's not going to spend what little money he had on rebuilding his tech. A good Zerg will rarely lose because a level 1 tech building has not been rebuilt. A greater spire snipe, sure, that's meaningful because that building takes forever to rebuild, but a pool and a baneling nest? Those are fast and cheap. They're not typically priority buildings except in hindsight.
It really didnt matter. He could have had a 1 shot button to instantly kill every tech structure above lair tech and the hive itself and it wouldnt have changed a single part of that game since leenock didnt make any of those units. Its not like killing infestation pit kills all the infestors on the field (even though I think this would be coolest change EVER)

When i saw "5 rax reaper" i started laughing, then i remembered that was in fact a dominant build. Ahhhh history :D

You cursed him Fionn, and your continued rooting for him will not make things better.

It has a timing in TvT with medivac.

Professor Tea, instantly responding to reaper expand with a baneling nest, so good. I really don't think reaper expand can hold ling/bane without coming out at least a little behind. Such an eh build =/ With a baneling nest you're pretty much totally safe.

Now hes a fan favorite :D Actually i don't see him as a fan favorite... maybe a bit more since he showcased his awesome english at his stream. I became a fan after his sick open bracket run at MLG.

Mass reaper is also very effective in 3v3.

Polt's TvZ has always been crap :/
