Top Australia player Glade (AU) shows us how he use zerg to defeat top Malaysian player Renson (MY) in protoss

I find that Zerg requires more tech/time to obtain an equivalent protoss unit. Even that it's still slightly weaker. For example I need get spawning pool -> hive -> hydralisk den to get hydralisk. Protoss only need cybernetic core to get their stalker.

i hardly win against protos using zerg haha
but always win against terran

People seldom go for high tier unit for zerg. it's the timing and strategy by combining units which make zerg shine. However it's really difficult to achieve that

Commentator said "Lost temple is a 4 players map if I'm not mistaken." ROFL

Pretty badly played by the Protoss anyway. Badly placed structures and teching to collossus when opponent is heavy on roaches is a huge mistake.

God the commentators are horrible.

Aww I just did an indirect way of indicating that.

Anyway, +1 to the statement above.

They sound like no enthusiasm at all. So fake. Almost like they're forcing themselves to say something.

they say alot of things wrong already

that cast, can i cry? lol

yup, even ultras are weak when you consider they're up against ranged units.

need quite some skill to combo and control.

they only way to win using zerg is to overwhelm the other by unit count

Considering the units now from zerg is relatively expensive, hydra cost 25 extra mineral now and being tier 2 compared to BW, still find it difficult to play without hydra. Too used to BW

well hydra is better now...compare to BW
with 12 attack...longer hp
they can fight with majority of the units already
compare to BW...lots of micro is needed in order to win a fight...

very difficult to climb the zerg tech.. can i win by just massing hydralisk and roach?

they were cheap, fast moving (now creep relying), and easily tech up (1st tier).
Now they were more expensive, slow moving (without creep) and harder to get. With the differences being stronger in terms of hp / attack.

Zerg have to rely on tier 2 unit for anti air, that why people always go air against zerg, unless u count queen in too ( which is not viable to attack)

you can win by using Zerg unit only but make sure you have upgraded to high lvl. (spawning pool + evolution chamber)

what makes Zerg unit powerful is their speed, once you upgrade the speed, nothing can beat Zerg. Trust me.

Use the advantage of your speed to attack enemy worker to slowdown their economy and then their army. It always works on me.

Also make sure you build two hatchery at one place and spawn 2 Queens. This will increase he production and focus on mineral only as you only gonna

buy Zerg unit. If you upgrade the burrow capability, that's the plus point.

js mass hydra...
but there's still 1 problem...how to counter colossus??
they are freaking imba against zerg units...unless i go air

it's best of 3 right?
Come on Malaysia, u can do it!
Put M'sia on the map!!

Don't expect to win collossus by just massing hydras.

If you anticipate collo prepare a move roach heavy army rather than hydra-centric army.

Also prepare around 3 corrupter per collo can change the tide as well. Make sure you micro against forcefields.
