Win the next game, so you can sleep well

Seldom got chance to pair up with a decent player..

i like zerg coz they are a complex race to play. Why would u wanna to use the retarded terran and boring protoss? all they do is sit and camp whole day and build up their stuff attack u... Its so boring

its not hard, its just different due to the larvae mechanic...
all race have their own mechanics but rts veterans are more used to terran's production queue system...

yeah haven't got that "feel" towards zerg build mechanics and such. the larvae production is slow + you have to distribute it for harvesters and overlords. i think this should take lots of experience to capture that feel for plaaying zerg

if u got good map control (overlords/ creep) and game sense, u can go heavy drone...
when u see him moving, just pump speedlings or any other defensive units while u macro up...
that's hw i usually play my zerg...

You statements are so contradicting lol. Zerg is harder to start with because of it's larvae management and passive playstyle.

Starting off with T or P is easier IMO.

ahhh i did just that the other day.

i got no defenses yet but saw many incoming. so i spam zerglings and speedling upgrade halfway done.

defended with just speeds and queens.

you can build additional hatcheries, not necessarily at mineral patch. use queen also to boost larvae.

ling rush probably one of the easiest game winning thing to learn. it's after the ling rush fail that's the problem.

sorry. i like those who "wall in", not "wall up" is there such a term "wall in"? as in stay in the wall. just build build build but no expand and anything else. just preparing to die like that.

Terran wall up presents a challenge actually. He could be building any number of units or teching to some crazy rush like thor spams and all that.

you do know terran can just command center in his base, then fly it out on some island and expand without you know? or just float to natural, and while doing all that, have bunkers/siege tanks to cover the natural

i like people who cocoon themselves in the wall. let them tech up or mass, they're still limited to the naturals.

i come by quite a number like that, cocoon in the wall safety. when they're doing that I'll go for somewhat early expansion. with the additional resources you can tech + spam better than the cocooned guy.



yes of course, and it'll be damn sad if his super slow moving CC flew around without me knowing!

for me I put overlords / zerglings scattered across the map.when the unit kena whack means the fella doing something already.

in the end also depends on what kind of Z player vs what kind of T player.

against players who wall in, I think it's critical to harass them. make them waste time and mineral on substitute units, repairs and everything else while expanding when possible. after that it's a matter of breaching the wall and swarm.

How to handle when your opponent get

Pheonix / viking for OL hunting.. u have to move all ur scouting ol to somewhere safe? meaning losing all sort of scouting?

research overlord speed and get mutalisks to defend. though that said, mutas does have difficulty against good phoenix microers, at that point you might want to get corruptors if the situation worsens

yeah...u can group the ovies together with a bunch of hydra js for protection...
when they got speed...they can easily outrun from any threat...

i felt tat recently toss likes to play aggressive pushing...
they will go like 4-6 gates wif 1 base...get a proxy pylon near ur base...
and keep spamming zeal+stalkers...
when they got a decent group like 8-10 units they will keep attacking non stop until u drop...
i don't even have time for muta as i was spamming lings + spines js to def...
but when muta out...it's time for them to def

but the chances are low as their success rate is quite high

kena before from my fren, suddenly come cloaked banshee + vikings. he learn that from AI.

i got caught by surprise 1st time but after that i know he gonna try it. manage to overseer + hydralisks.

How about pheonix/viking came before your lair is up? it's quite difficult to def.

Corrupter is not really the answer for pheonix, because due to the fact corrupter cannot run faster than pheonix although the thick hp would make it quite sometime to be down

corruptor takes damn long to reach. no? probably queen is your best temporary AA but works only in base area. heh. costly and long time to build also.

best is still to have occasional scout. if starport is out then just prepare some AA in case.

problem with zerg is lack of effective AA in early game. terrans can spam marines and protoss just needs a CC for stalkers.

lair upgrade + additional structure takes damn long.

corruptor IS the answer for phoenix due to superior range, and it prevents your overlord/mutas from getting wtfraped. it may not be able to chase running phoenixes/score guaranteed kills (neither can hydras anyways!) but it sure keeps them away from you

early phoenix? Go rush his base with whatever you have. Your ground army should > his since he went air tech and zerg T1 > gateway units.

So whats a good unit to start a siege on those pesky cannonwall/terranwalls?

Other than teching up to t3
