Analysis
- Great vs Helion Openings
You can just play defensively, but the mobility of the helions has made it really hard - especially with vikings clearing up overlord vision and libs/minedrops/helion drops coming in from all sorts of unexpected angles
The roaches force a huge overreaction as the helions can’t deal with them and stim is delayed
Is the most minimal commitment to make Terran piss off
- Normally Terran just want to be dicks in the current meta near the top there’s helions darting into bases from all angles, liberators seiging up mineral lines, helion and mine drops - all sorts of crazy multi-prong with many opportunities for big damage - all whilst the Terran is greedier than a fat leprechaun
- This way you can make them piss off home, and force them to do things that aren’t greedy like make seige tanks.
- Sometimes you get to kill lots of things like depots and ebays - that’s pretty awesome

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/120556078 G1 vs Alive - Alive didn’t do his homework! Helions overcommit = MASS LINGS AND GO FOR BROKE! No more helions behind that wall destroying the lings - knows he has a good chance of breaking him with a much larger committment G3 - nice pressure again just gets the ebays
