I personally think it has to do with buildtime associated with creating supply buildings. Overlords build out of the larvae, and don't require any drone to be pulled off of anything (and the hatchery only provides 2 so zerg can start with an overlord and not be completely gimped), and the probe isn't required to stand by and build something. Since you effectively lose an SCV, you'd have to cut SCVs to produce a supply depot if you didn't. And this way you don't have to. | ||

Will units get scrapped or just modified? | ||

Just wanted to ask, but why does Zerg suck so much on Calm of the Storm? It seems like fairly standard map, so I'm not really sure why people say that Protoss has a gigantic advantage on this map. calm before the storms favors p in pvz because the protoss can go nexus first into gate and cyber and a zerg really can not punish him. they can take there normal quick third but then are very vunerable to a very fast 5/6/7 gate attacks since protoss gets warp gate so fast on this map. this and the fact as its seen as a map that only produced 200/200 games lead to not lasting long on the gsl. also blind robo builds prove to be strong on this map because its hard for muta builds or roach busts to deal any damage because of the three close easy defended bases on this map | ||

This topic also explains it. I don't really know what it means but I guess it modifies the points you get? Being in the lower ranks means you get more points (up to the amount displayed on the wiki), and vice versa? | ||

Also note that when you build something with the drone, the supply count goes down, since you lose the drone. Hence the geyser trick. | ||

Morrow IMO is a poor excuse for a pro gamer if he is unable to play his main race in a mirror match up at the highest level of play. This is even more apparent considering most of his wins in TvZ are by exploitative/all-in tactics (Reaper builds before the speed nerf, and Hellion builds lately) I could see a lesser skilled player race-picking specific match-ups that are susceptible to cheese out wins, but this is probably only in PvP and ZvZ; TvT is a relatively stable match up that tends to favor the better player. So therefore, if race-switching is allowed by tournament organizers (it should NOT be IMO) then it is conceivable that someone could do this, but I doubt any serious or highly skilled pro gamer would ever consider it. | ||

He did kind of abuse the imbalanceness of the game at the beginning but now he is very consistent with his play. | ||
