I know the stats, but I think terrans have figured the map out a bit more of late with the split map play as opposed to hopelessly trying to "pressure" and push and just totally failing. It's not ideal but I think it's the best way

Symbol dismantled MKP attempt in doing it, but I agree that against lower zerg it should work with at least a decent win rate. Still a stupid map but you're being called for terran qq if you remark that the only T favored map in map pool is Antiga and others are between 35 and 50%...

If the zerg doesn't scout at all it's a pretty good build.

Marauder > roach
Marauder decent vs Queen
Hellion > Ling/Baneling/Drone
Reasonable enough I guess.

Yup... But trust me if zerg scouts it... OR EVEN smells it it is an easy win for Z

and when you see the amount of top Z with 0 scouting... that was really nice from IdrA to drone scout each game, props to him.

it's not that hard to understand....
hellions kill lings
marauders kill roaches
queens don't kill anything so T wins if Z is unprepared

Is Ret vs Suppy on stream now?

NightEnd holy cow! Amazing PvP play!

such a greed from Puma. 3reaper double expo, double rax, double ebay....

I don't think it's an amazing strat or anything, I just think it's better than hopelessly banging your head against a brick wall trying to pressure I know MKP lost that game and it pissed me off, but it was a bit different, he tried to push and drop his opponent but got shut down quite hard and then tried to transition into ravens.

Queen has same DPS as roach and effectively like twice the hp vs Marauders, mass Queens are very strong vs them

If I recall correctly MKP was way behind (because of the map but still), he didn't try to split map directly, he did it after "failing" with his attacks / pressure.

imo 1rax FE - 5/6rax scv pull can be quite good. if Z skips speed it's almost an autowin.

Why OP stop updating games for each stream?

Marauder hellion is really good if you deny all scouting with your initial hellions.
Without scouting, Zerg wonders if it is 1.)Old reactor hellion expand style or 2)Banshee follow up or 3)this marauder hellion
Reaction is different for each builds.
When viOLet was winning playhems months ago, he was losing to this marauder hellion all-in so many times.
Strong build, very all-in.
