If it was designed to take advantage of hatch first then every T everywhere would be going 11/11 every game, because every zerg goes hatch first. Symbol just didn't handle it properly. Delayed his queens too long, pulled drones when he didn't need to, just lost too much for too little. | ||

Symbol would have been dead hadn't he been lucky to find out. Hatch first is actually a bit better, because you get more lings quicker, have 2 queens quicker and you have (very important) creep for spinecrawlers. IIRC Ret and IdrA tested this, and on the pro level hatch first is the best vs. 2-rax. | ||
