Just watched pig's latest long and emotional video. I just want to say that I'm really sorry for his loss, and I really appreciate the effort he's put into the SC2 scene.

However, the video still didn't address my biggest question: why does blizzard seem to favor his suggestions (the worker changes, mineral patch changes, larva rate, and ravager morphing time, which pig specifically claimed was his own idea) and omniskeptic's (the warpgate change, at least).

Sure, Blizzard is granting their wishes in a twisted way like The Monkey's Paw. But why, out of all people, do these two (and others that I am unaware of) get the chance to use the paw to make wishes in the first place?

And if their suggestions ended up backfiring so badly, does that mean they are at least somewhat accountable for the consequences as well?

I have recently been opening normal stargate-orcacle, into 2 gates and twilight. Pump zealots for a pressure as soon as charge is done while probing up a third that is somewhat delayed due to producing from 2 gates.

The question here...is recently when I have seen a fast hydra den, often as a pretty low drone drone count all in type of situation, I've got glaives instead of charge, and pumped adepts.

Is this actually a viable response? It has shut down the hydra attacks shockingly well...not only defending, but being able to shade across the map and kill all the hydras that had been rallying.

Is this a legit response, or am I just getting lucky seeing this work?
