But hellbats are probably too good.

I'm not sure if it was so much that Hellbats are too good as MVP just controlled his Marines almost perfectly against the Banelings. And it looks like if MVP wins the next game I won't need VODs.

You can still use hellbats to kill workers?

Anyway, I ran a 1-base roach all-in and he ragequit. He actually had a third command center brewing when I got there, and if he'd been smart and turned that into 8 additional marines he'd have held my push--so the correct response to this as Zerg would probably have been to take a third immediately, right?
Only a build order loss if you were 6 pooling or something similar.
e: Though I don't think it even gives much of an econ advantage to go CC before barracks because you unlock MULEs so much later.
What about a baneling bust? I used to lose to those occasionally in WoL if I tried any greedy bullshit as T. Are those still viable?
Hope you saved room for the main course. You see, I probe harrassed in TvP. This made his tilt so hard, he started cussing me out, then cancelled his barracks. Not a proxy, just regular. I easily won after that but mostly it was him being mad.
ed: Note: I didn't even kill an scv or get it seriously hurt. The game went like 10 min with my holding him in his base with stalkers and oracles while I coincidentally expanded

That seems true in my limited experience, but yeah, you can kill them with busts if they get greedy or complacent or they build a defective wall. Think terrans rush tanks for roaches and maybe widow mines for pure ling/bane.
And I think yeah, game of drones and a really fast third is the way to go.
This is why the internet can't have nice things
I think jail lasts until the mods let you out.
In bog's case it's until June 21.
I'd have just blocked him after the first time he used the "c" word.
He was right about one thing though Pants, you are a jerk in real life.
Jerk. I mean, you what? Used stalkers? Harassed? That's like...Hitlerian. You're pretty much Hitler.

Pants should have contained him and then warp prismed DTs into his main.
The results would either be hilarious or an unfortunate aneurysm.
Once they get to about 8 of them then I am losing 500 minerals worth of zealots just to defeat the wave and make some progress towards where they are burrowed, and I feel like I would have needed about 5 or so colossus to beat his swarm host/hydra army, which feels like a lot of colossus for mid game.
It's funny how I don't see much, if any, Swarm Host usage at all in pro games. I don't know why that is, but I'm sure some Dhal-like people will shop up and explain it.
