Lord Avilo has returned to inform us that 1 base swarmhost is “hacking”:
Is it micro? Is it scouting? Is it skill? NO! IT’S MAPHACKING! How else could someone get an EZ clap
in 5:30 vs terran??? MECH IS GUARANTEED A 40 MINUTE MACRO GAME, BUT THE HACKERS! THE HACKERS!!! THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!

Good thing he drowned out the endless yapping with drum and bass. Definitely improved the stream.

Dude went to playing League after the swarmh–I mean–hackers clapped him.
About 5% of TvZ games end in the first 6 minutes and I am guessing 90%+ of those are from proxy rax. The probability of losing to swarmh-HACKERs has to be somewhere in the ballpark of <0.1%. You can understand his concern given the extremity of the outcome.
Don’t need solidsnake anymore when we have chatGPT:
LISTEN. LISTEN. OKAY. You wanna tell me someone’s going one base Swarm Hosts in 2025 and you DON’T think it’s map hacks?
HELLO?!?!?!?
Like—are we just throwing logic out the window now? Am I the last sane man on this planet?! I must be. I must be the only one still using my brain out here.
Let me break it down for you so even the Bronze leaguers can keep up:
ONE. BASE. SWARM. HOSTS.
Let’s talk economics. Let’s talk actual StarCraft II fundamentals. You’re telling me this Zerg player, in a world where macro is king, where you need a minimum of two bases just to survive past the 6-minute mark, decides “Hmm, I’m gonna stay on ONE base and go Swarm Hosts!”
Like, yeah, that’s totally normal. Nothing weird here. Nothing to see. Just a completely dead build unless you know EXACTLY what your opponent is doing. 
It’s not like Swarm Hosts are a commitment, right? It’s not like they cost gas, supply, your soul, and make your tech tree look like you rolled your face across the keyboard.
NO! OF COURSE! This guy just magically knows I’m not all-inning him. Magically knows I’m not dropping hellions into his mineral line. Magically knows I didn’t proxy a Robo or 4gate him. Magically knows I’m playing standard.
How convenient.
HOW. CONVENIENT.
Is he still living with his mom?
As long as he keeps giving me free mmr, he can live wherever he wants.
