Holy heck, I don't think Tastosis noticed but [spoiler below] . . . . . . . . . in game 7 Soulkey ran his lings down that lane in the middle in view of HerO's overlord, then (02:06:43) went off to the left, looped back toward his own base and ran down the middle again, possibly making HerO think even more lings were coming

However these games are at least longer. Most diverse games are Zerg vs other races. They should add a new resource research depending on the race you fight. for example buffing hydralisks/spores ONLY when fighting zerg.
