we're talking about a 1base stimpush
if it is off 2 bases then this whole arguement is really obsolete
You end up with enough minerals to throw down an expand as your push happens. Or at least if you go 3 rax with constant SCV, marine, marauder production you end up with enough to expand at about 5:45. The attack is still hitting at the same time (around 6-6:15, up to 6:25 depending on map size) as I've been talking about. If you read the post where I tested out the timings, you'll see what I mean. Zerg can (realistically) have 3 queens and 24 lings off 2 bases (and speed). Terran ends up with 4 marauders and 9 marines and an expand being built as the attack hits. And stim.
By the time the push is resolved, Terran is on 2 bases with 3 raxes of production, no cut SCVs, and stim off 1 gas. Zerg has at BEST 3 queens and 2 bases and a lower drone count (1 gas, speed). Terran is also behind on SCVs (not as much as Zerg is-12+ early larva into lings?!?), since the nat is late, but mules are pretty cool guys.
