EPTJust do a timing, then take a third while poking. So much safer and does not put you far behind.

So much safer and does not put you far behind. Because timings only work if they're unscouted (in which case Zerg often overdrones and/or has bane nest too late). If Zerg scouts it and prepares accordingly, he gets a winning game because advantages snowball so fast with the larva mechanic. | ||

See HyuN vs jjakji on Frost for example. | ||

See HyuN vs jjakji on Frost for example. when zerg wasted tonnes of gas early on and late 3rd and no baneling nest and less lair unit due to roach investment and zerg is still not behind because they can instantly saturated the third. you serious? That's like saying failiing a mass bfhellion timing into mech doesn't make the terran behind. the game isn't won by having more workers. if you are so into giving me one game example, do you want me to throw you a tefel vs mvp game as well? lol scarlett defended a proxy 2 rax with a 3 hatch before pool supernova proxy 2 raxed crank proxy oracle ty defended blink all in with a senor turret etc makes me wonder when would you ever consider a zerg is behind. losing a hatch? | ||

Why don't you just watch the game I mentioned and see by yourself? I talked about this game because this is what happens as a standard in that kind of scenario, not because the Terran side messed up. | ||

its not like that didn't happen several times(Stephano, Naniwa), but I am still waiting for the next foreigner Terran to win something. Last I remember was Thorzain. And that's been a while... | ||
