you dont need ravagers against reapers
just early roaches
but noone does that cuz its not meta enough
or a spine
but it seems people forgot how to build that between 2012 and now.

...that's what Elazer did this game, and what Snute tried literally two days ago

? No, he went speedlings first. There is absolutely no point in getting speedlings early against terran. Just get 5roaches and voila you got the map

yeah, he went speedling first, because that's what you do, because that's the best thing to do. he made the mistake of not seeing the second reaper with his overlord (I assume he didn't see it, at least) so his roach warren was late, but you don't blindly open with roaches

How is it better ? Getting 4roaches cost as much if not less than 20zerglings and is bulletproof against anything the terran can throw at you that early.

4 roaches do nothing against reapers, you need to make much, much more and yeah, if you're against 3 rax reaper, that's what you're supposed to do - go roaches

but you'd have to either do that blindly every game or drone scout, both being very bad ideas

Early roaches just get kited and mine shotted to death with Uthermal's control. Same with lings. You saw what Elazer did. What could he have done better to deal with the reapers? They always got away without dying while dealing high damage to the zerg's units. With ravagers he can outrange reapers and punish all the kiting uthermal does because he's actually getting shots off too

Ohhh thats why you get spines. I heard theyre pretty good against any kind of early agression.

Ha, spines suck vs reapers because you can drop 10 mines on them and shoot it a few times and it's dead. They don't really apply early on because there's too much space to dodge them and micro without losing a reaper. Elazer was holding fine before the reapers hit critical number. That's the real danger of reaper cheeses now. Reapers stay relevant for quite a long time with mines keeping them alive.

saying "early reaper/hellion attack" sounds like you want to get a spine and roaches against HotS-like hellion pressure and yeah, if everyone were to do that, I could see how the game would be dead with no Zerg players

I'm probably the most annoyed here. WoL had a lot of potential and when i come back i see zergs not drone scouting, not placing overlords properly and not using the one unit that is good against the early terran harass.
Let me explain it simply to you. Your spine should start as soon as your expo is down, no matter what. Then you make queens and a couple of roaches. You go to the terrans base and see w/e is there. Then you react.
You guys are probably right tho, it's better to lose three times in a row to early pressure than to scout and blindly make a spine

If you just came back, the game is very different now. Spines aren't very good vs reapers because of strong grenades and regenerating reapers. Roaches are the first step because of tankiness, but imo either a good ling surround or ravagers are needed to hold off reapers vs a terran with as fantastic reaper control as Uthermal.
I agree that a drone scout wouldn't have been a bad idea if Elazer had watched Uthermal's series vs Snute, however, on a game by game basis, drone scouting is bad. It was more a mistake on Elazer's part to not be thinking of this as a series following a very similar patter to Snute vs Uthermal.

You just assume the game plays the same as WoL then try to act like some pompous shit knowing the match up in and out, just talking out of your ass. Thanks for the extra entertainment tonight

Lots of bracket luck, and the fact that there really isn't a consistent 7th or 8th player in WCS.

Yeah, we gotta remember he actually performed well at Katowice, Leipzig, and Tours, though the third was really easy bracket and he's been irrelevant since then
