If you don't do enough and let him drone to 80-90, you are hardly going to win later. Yea - I think big problem is that Blizzard for the past several years has been trying to intentionally push the metagame towards longer macro games (which by itself isn't bad), by introducing larger maps, improving early game defense (shield battery overcharge, queens). But when certain races have advantages in the late game at the highest level, that's a problem | ||

At the center of the problem is the queen, because it defends all early agression all the larvae are used for drones so the game doesn't kick off until the 70 drone mark. And then it snowballs from there. A weaker queen would make for more interesting games with more even economies. | ||

One idea I was wondering about was putting transfuse behind an upgrade (say lair tech), so that 4+ queens don't end up with 1K+ of collective HP, which would stomp most early game pushes | ||

Reynor already has a few premiers, and both he and Clem are 4 years younger than Serral, so they'll have time. | ||

You are kind of agreeing with me. You can't let Zerg drone up to 90 and get freely to tier 3. Doing damage early game with Hellions/Widow Mines/Drops/Pushes or All-in/Parade Timing in the mid game means you are trying to stop the Zerg before he gets there, have nothing to do with Terran being ahead or behind. | ||

Let other units do the fighting so the viewer does not have to sit through 5 minutes of hellions failing to decreep every TvZ. | ||
