Haha. Well I can kind of think about cloud's reasoning.

If he doesn't kill the roaches and queens as they hatch, stephano will eventually build up a big enough unit count to kill the hellions.

So he could run into the main and kill 20 drones and that's it. Hellions get trapped and killed and he dies to the roach counterattack, and stephano still has 3 bases and a solid economy.

I figure that's why he wanted to kill the units as they hatched 1 by 1, because he could... but it took too long and ended up being wrong.

so instead he lets all his hellions killed by roaches without killing 20 drones...

He cleaned out most of the natural, so he killed a ton of drones, but not all. When I open 3 base with a roach warren, I honestly don't give a crap about double factory builds. I can scout it late, make enough drones for continuous roach production, and then pop out a ton of roaches and still hold comfortably, even if he ransacks one of my bases of drones. The queen buff makes it even easier.

cloud may have gotten more drone kills if he ran straight to the main, but I find the mass hellion builds only win if you can kill every single drone, which you can't really do when he has a roach warren and a 3rd base.
