I wonder, what is up with Strelok today, he looked so good in the qualifier.

He is playing a guy who does what he does, just better. It's a stylistic nightmare for him.

Getting over 5 bases doesn't really do anything, except if you need insane gas income (only really good for mass infestor or muta). It's a disadvantage because it's harder to defend, so Strelok can get free drone kills with hellbat drops.

Gumiho style with hellion transformation drops is the best.

Firecake, get + range attacks. It makes your swarm hosts more hurty.

So, why not do it just so there's a hatchery there. I imagine it being more of a mind fuck than anything. Every base you scout, a hatchery. Not to mention more larva?

Firecake's got a 5.5k mineral bank. I think he can handle a few drone deaths.

And he's got like 3-4 macro hatches.

Plus he's taking the top right so they mine out and are hard for strelok to take later

His TvP and TvZ winrates went up after Hellbats were nerfed. His TvT though dropped faster than the US economy.

The cool thing is, with Heromarine vs Starbuck coming up next we will see such a different TvZ, almost like another matchup

I guess he'd rather have safe/creep spreading macro hatches rather than ones far away that's easily picked off.

Yeah, he could've placed 2-3 hatches top left. But I think it's no biggie not to do it.

edit: I actually like taking top right bases more, just because it's harder to attack with main army.
