The risk vs reward of a 2rax in a TvZ is very much in favor of the terran. If you manage to pull it off, which really only takes one bunker getting down in most cases, you can very simply go straight into macro mode after taking out the natural and zerg is in a very rough spot from there.

Must be why Terrans open with Reaper expand 90% of the games.



No I think most terrans arent very comfortable with cheesing like that on a regular basis so they would rather play a "safer" more "normal" style.

What's the point of drone scouting if you already open pool first anyway...

Yeah Snute plays more bad games then good games.

He isn't even in the top 16 of WCS points

And he is nowhere near the best foreigner!

yes, also not being able to defend against cheese can also show that you are actually "eco-cheesing" (being so greedy that you could easily be killed early if it was known/expected/scouted), if you consider cheesing to be not a real win then you should also consider "eco-cheesing" to be not a real win since it's actually the same thing

Yeah, but it seems that unless the terran messes up immensely or the zerg luckely scouts it, the terran will come up on top 2 raxing anyway

so why aren't all TvZs 2 rax with over 90% win rate for terran??

if it was as good as you say then it would be the safer and more normal style, it doesn't matter what the clock says it's safer if it wins more often and it's going to become normal if it's the best way to play, but it only actually is good if you out micro the zerg

The amount of talking going on in this DH plus the fact that Richard Lewis is hosting makes me feel like I'm watching a Unfiltered episode with better production.

Well if it was to become the normal style, zerg's normal style would change to 10 pool, so Terrans would switch back to 1 rax CC and so on and so on.
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.
