so sometimes I feel like a cheese when I build proxy-Lair-7min-swarmhost.

however I like it a lot, da proxy-Lair-7min-swarmhost.
it allows a few things
1) urly-creep push whitout da need of overlord speed+long distance queen
if queen gets destroyed, it delays da full attack bye over 1 min
2) the only shit that is left in main-base = 1gass-mine+pool+hatchery+mobile drones
if some kid, likes to base-trade
I am allowing it, when pull drones+pool-rebuild
this result in not needing to defend my main base(mostly vs toss)
vs terran, da reaper makes me build 2-3spines in main base, this also result in 2swarmhosts at main base, ones the main-attack have started
vs zerga, da spines will be in main base, even before da proxy-lair is finished
however, vs a all-in-base trade from terran+zerg, I am still allowed to win, when I sack my main-base, since da most important building are located at proxy-lair
this ofc result in 50-100%more firepower at proxy-lair, since I not need to split my defances at all costs
this takes away 3minites of my attack time

ofc I tested some alternatives
da overlord speed+queen creep push, and a 2e base in my natural!
but that kinda makes me need to have 3 defensive positions, my 2 bases and my attack position, since da swarmhost are not mobile enof to defend main+natural at ones
and I even need to keep my queen safe when do da creep push, witch can be hard vs zerg players
however this gives me more economical advantage, working great vs terran-dogs.
however economical advantage<tec advantage, when facing da toss-scumbags

and yes,
pilon block+reaper+drops+oracle herass may be less cheese then da devastating swarmhost cheese
but cheese is cheese

sometimes I play vs frends, they know I like to do swarmhost-only, so I build bainling buster 5.30min! is that cheese?

its a ''hidden'' Lair in enemy 4e base, located 1-2 screans away from enemy natural ramp
so you have creep and a swaphost-spawn-point whitin enemy range, and you can build anti-air, anti-detection, meatwall stationary defend
located out of range from enemy tanks near enemy natural, that happens when you take enemy 3e base

you have to keep it ''hidden'' for about 1min
when enemy have army, witch mostly not happens before da 5min mark
and when you build hatchery+drone+a few spine crawlers
and then you upgrade into proxy-Lair as soon as proxy-hatchery finish, couse you builded a pool+gas in main

so the immortal army assault can starts at 7.30
