I think i remember most zergs crushing 2 rax in the GGlord era and it only worked sometimes, why? o.o I think it's the meta. Zergs seem to absolutely refuse to scout proxy locations or go pool first in 2 player maps. It's as if Zergs expect Terrans to just not be that aggressive early on and then ending up dying to it. Similarly to Proxy Oracle in TvP, the mere fact it exists means it has to be respected and taken into account. Otherwise Terran is just coinflipping whether or not Protoss is doing it. As such, Terran builds have evolved to either have enough Marines in the mineral line, or get a Turret or Mine. I think Zerg needs to make a similar adaption in their builds and start taking into account the threat of a 2rax is real. | ||

Also why in match settings each player plays each side the same amount of times. | ||

Yes, it's quite a big deal in chess. At the very top level Black wins are not very common. | ||
