Its to force terran to get early viking… but what if i didnt want to build a starport… oh well.

Lots of good reasons:
- Zerg needs to know when to drone/army and in the early game the incredibly slow Ovi serves as a scout and supply so losing it is basically GG because you’re blind and supply blocked.
a. “Why not send 2 lings?” Reapers kill slow lings, protoss wall off blocks scouting, and then you’re down 2 lings for defending your drones from reaper/adepts. - Scans are insta scouting anywhere, pillars are fixed so you know where an ovi might be looking
- Obs are invisible so it’s like having a pillar everywhere
- Ovi speed might be cheap (for another week), but it’s still a gas investment and every scout costs a minimum of 100 minerals and 8 supply if it goes down (which it usually does once it’s committed to scouting)
The current ladder pool’s maps aren’t well balanced and are mostly all zerg favored. Debatable whether disco bloodbath is more terran favored.
current map pool comes from tl map contest. and both progamers judges - zergs
