hm this doesnt seem accurate. first of all, the drop reached its destination (a baneling drop btw), but the eco dmg it did didnt matter because he was overwhelmed at home. secondly the cyclone hellbat push functioned as planned in every game inno won. as he showed its not an allin by any means, but its supposed to make your opponent invest into defenses heavily and allow yourself to expand your economy. the vaani game is a perfect example for this. after the initial push innovation was in a position that allowed him to trade effectively and deny dark's 4th. in the games he lost, dark defended too efficiently for innovation to continue the pressure and dark could get the army size, eco and tech he needed to beat him.





mutas werent an option at all. innovation was constantly in dark's face and forced him to invest his ressources into units. if dark had committed to a muta switch, he wouldve been overwhelmed before getting there and if he had done it more slowly, innovation wouldve had enough time to build thors, a starport or w/e he wanted to counter them. he also frequently scanned dark's main, always aware of the potential threat
