The rule changes are needed so that there is a spot in code S for them :) other wise there's no spot

I'm hoping that the winner of code A will also get straight through to code S in the new system too.

After that I'm not sure how it would work, wiith 16 dropdowns from S and then 7 up from A fighting for 14 spots

No I'm not, I haven't used the word expand once in this whole debate actually. What I've been saying however, is that the reason why both Protoss and Terran are both less dependent on their cannons and turrets than their zerg counterparts, is because cannons and turrets are harder to get access to than spines.

Sorry if my posts have been confusing, but that's usually what happens when one argues with zerg players that use a lot of "what if" and scenario specific arguments to demonstrate the new weekly reason why zergs are underpowered.

Fair enough. However, I think all races are equally dependant on these structures. A zerg gets spine crawlers to ward off early pressure that they see coming, or to assist in defending vulnerable expansions, or to turtle up and mineral dump while investing in gas heavy units. Terrans playing safely/defensivley against protoss will generally get a bunker up in time for early stalker pressure while teching up, or toss down some bunkers while expanding to be more safe. In the same way, protoss throws down cannons to prepare for early pressure while expanding, or can rely more on cannons than sentries to preserve gas while teching. The differences between the races defensive structure is not from their roles (excluding bunker/cannon rushes from this) but in the way they are used afterwards, but that has nothing to do with dependencies.

I guess this is what I get for coming into a conversation late, I thought I would just share my thoughts about this.

you're describing econ heavy greedy play though elcheris. 15 hatch vs terran is standard because zerg cant match t on one base. making a cannon so you can get away with doing something else isnt the same as having to make a cannon every time no matter what.

Interview with MKP

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=222624

What motivated you to join the Prime team?
I lived in Changwon. However, I had to live in Seoul because of the GSL preliminaries, so I decided to start looking for a team. Initially, IM contacted me, but because I was very close to Check from Prime, I decided to join Prime after he asked me to.
(T/N: Wow. Imagine IMMarineKing. IM would be an even sicker team than it is now.)

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
WOW! Thanks for the link~

IMMarineKing sounds ridiculous in all ways...

OK I give up, I have no idea what you guys are even talking about anymore. Also, is there any other way to play zerg other than econ heavy greedy? LET THE DISCUSION BEGIN ANEW!

Ravens were insanely awesome (now they are just awesome), no need to scan to kill creep or find banebombs, PDD gives breathing room/added protection vs muta and until now pdd would kill broodlings too.

Only Terran I ever saw get Ravens in a tourney match vs zerg was TLO and he was tring to do some kind of mass HSM stupidness and just let broodlords own his shit when he had like 3-4 ravens with energy. I think maybe one other game that revolved around some kind of mass auto turret shenanigans too.

He's the people's caster.


Also I agree, that the hunter seeker needs something done to it. I've yet to see it used in ladder.

I don't buy that at all. Maybe the openings are different, but once they scout me they'll adapt to whatever scouting information they get. Just like in any match.

Also I do play zerg nowadays like 50/50 of the time.

techlabs on starports have become increasingly rare against zerg. I think if terran would realize that they could win any marine/tank/thor engagement just by chasing away the muta flock with a hunter seeker missile, things would be different.

I hate myself for having made this post. Terran players, please disregard it.
