EDIT: Like, seriously wtf you're basically leaving zerg alone for 20 minutes letting them take the entire map and all their tech up.

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.

Hellbats are still pretty good guys

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

It's a disadvantage because it's harder to defend, so Strelok can get free drone kills with hellbat drops. 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?

It's a disadvantage because it's harder to defend, so Strelok can get free drone kills with hellbat drops. 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.

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
|
Does Strelok look like he's in a bit of a jam?
Or is it just me?
|
Is Strelok going to sac his whole army and leave his bases undefended now?
|
Wtf is this path strelok is taking and thank god firecake didn't use hydras to kill strelok fourth

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.
