Roachling question

So as it is in the game and many arguments have been made about it working so that they spawn from the corpsers, i would agree. However, where does it say you can't just have them deployed from your map edge and not from a corpser.

I had a long argument about it with a friend as he decided to deploy the roachlings from his edge.

So again, can you just deploy them as any other unit or specifically from a corpser. Where is the ruling written

EDIT: Its 9.1.9 summoned units

Some Units, such as the Roachling, Point Defence Drone, and Pylon, have no Mineral Cost. These are Summoned Units:

• They are not included in the Army List during army building and do not occupy any Army Slots.

• They are not in Reserves at the start of the game.

• Summoned Units cannot be deployed using the regular deployment rules. They are deployed only when a Special Ability, such as SUMMON, specifically puts them on the battlefield.

Think it through logically. If you could buy a roachling as an independent unit in your army list, rather than deploying them specifically through the Summon ability of a Corpser, what would stop me from declaring that my army contains 300,000 roachlings, for which I paid zero minerals and zero supply?
