scouted, delayed 2 rax... still does so much damage.

hatch first..... delayed spawning pool... took damage from 2rax.... go figure


he diddnt delay his pool, it was 15 or 14 pool, its just very easy to lose vs 2 rax

if you hatch first then you are delaying your spawning pool....

every pro zerg in the world would hatch first there. That wasn't the issue.

what was the issue?

Hatch first is the standard in ZvT, it's not an issue, it's not greedy.

am i missing something here? the reason he took damage was because proxy 2-rax is designed to take advantage of a hatch first build. are you guys seriously disagreeing with this?

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.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

what was the issue?

That a strategy like proxy two-rax getting scouted and still doing so much damage on a regualr opening is problematic.
Symbol would have been dead hadn't he been lucky to find out.

why is that problematic? he scouted it after both raxes were almost done and after he had already invested in hatch first (a build a proxy 2-rax is intended to punish).

what other opening is zerg supposed to use against terran?

u cannot scout a 2 rax in time to do anything other than hatch first, symbol got a 13 pool and STILL couldnt prevent a bunker.

how is that not problematic?

even if he had opened 14/14, mma would see no expo, lift his rax, drop a cc, build a bunker or two, and still be ahead.

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.
