Actually i can see some fix to this. For example it could be an upgrade, or available only if you have a Lair. I know this sound kinda lame... Maybe the best idea would be to make it possible only if there is a Queen near the Hatchery. What do you think ? Anyways i'm not a big fan of this cancel Larva concept but still i'm curious to try it and see how it affect Zerg gameplay. | ||

It's likely that every match in that tournament will be broadcast and commentated, so it won't go unnoticed. They also have judges. And it seems obvious that the only really game-breaking usage of this is that crazy Zergling rush. | ||

It was like that in BW, and it was like that in SC2 beta patches 1-8. This is essentially similar to the extractor trick, but for extra larvae, that can be done anytime for the entire length of the game. Although the abuse potential is greatest early-game, before you get your queen. It's obviously not intended or else it would have been mentioned in the patch notes. But you are right, this is very hard to regulate. Although personally I think it's pretty easy to spot; anytime someone cancels eggs right when hatch produces an extra larva. | ||

You seem to be misunderstanding the concept of a 1 Zealot block. Done ideally, no more than 1 or 2 Zerglings should be able to even hit the Zealot at the same time. This should give you plenty of time to get another Zealot out. That being said, I'm not sure you can get the Zealot out and in position if they do this off of 6 or 7 pool on a small map; haven't tried it yet. Either way this is clearly unintended and needs to be addressed. As a Zerg player, I'd like to see the Egg mechanic returned to the way it was previously. | ||

I'd assume T can hold it off, since it comes later than a 6 pool, can they can stop those no problem. But the zergling numbers is greater than 6 pool and Terran has to pull scv and that hurt the economy if T ever survived it. I think people on Gold or Platinum can stop this no problem but lower level players will have a very hard time against this. Well, just my theorycraft, but really this is just wrong not because you can rush with lings. This has a very large abusing window in early and mid game. How about tech to roach, use this trick to pump out alot of Roach. Since using this trick you may not need to birth a queen. | ||
