I outmacro'ed him, denied his third, but then he pushes out and roflstomp my army, then my base.

and you can't basetrade a terran. lol

brood lord are pretty much your only shot at fighting mech unless ur damn good with your ling/ultra/infestor. and thats assuming he didnt mass tanks like a b**** with level 3 weapons

The key is actually not brood lord only, but brood lord infestors. Infestor control must be good, to get good positioning, get Terran at a bad position where brood lord's long range can be exploited....

Anyway, here is Day9's explanation on why Ultralisks Ling Infestor is good - They're mobile enough to defend expansions, which usually BLs cannot do.

How were your upgrades and how many bases were you running compared to his third?

lost the replay. But its okay man, I already knew why i lost.

I AM THE ZERG !!!

So long time i no see this theads. Anything new ? Strats still the same ?

Got new tactic.. See Protoss going some cheeeep tactics like cannon rush and DT.. RQ...

That is old tactics.. first wave lings can ruin their economy. and if they start to cheap cannon rush .. block it by creep spawn by dear queenie.
Spread creep like butter on a toast ..yeahhhhhhh...

Ultralisks are cool vs T again, Mutas are less popular vs P now compared to ling/infestor or roach ling/hydra is optional when P goes heavier on air. I don't think the late game composition of BL infestor will change until HoTS... Even with Archon Toilet...

You should watch Day9's replay analysis of Stephano's playstyle for ZvP.. It's not exactly the way I think fitting to my playstyle but does show you the rough idea on how it works..

Hey do you guys usually put some spore crawlers in your base just in case they rush banshee or phoenix?

i hug buddha legs when i see banshee flying

Then how you counter them? Muta or hydra?

build spore (or seer if i not being completely lazy wanna use it) bring queen

usually u can scout this out...

in ZvP, when they go phoenix, spore is the best way to answer it while u keep droning up behind with some queen support as you are quite safe from an attack for some moment...
hydras are pretty bad vs phoenix btw and mutas are too slow for u to get the count high enuff (u need to pop like 10 mutas together)...
ling infestors are a good solution...

in ZvT there is the new banshee expand build into a timing attack which is scary...
again, u would wanna defend with queens and spores due to the same reason above (hydras fail in ZvT and muta are too slow to get early on)...
hold on until u get enuff resource for mutas...

what would you use hydras for then?

I see, I see. For now, I always make spores. 4 for main base and 4 more for 2nd base.

Added on April 16, 2012, 5:33 pmWell actually besides putting spores to defend , I was thinking instead of going for muta or hydra, might as well make some banelings and put them in to my overlords and fly it to their base and bomb their workers. Cheaper than making mutas

Terran players now very scare liao. Put so many turrets all over their base. Flying my mutas in there also hard ler.


I'm still new to sc2. ZvT for me is ok. I can manage.

The problem now is ZvP. I gotta watch out for so many things. The most bloody annoying thing is mass stalker/sentry.

2 enuf per mineral line if its for detection only, 3 (+1 spine, dt's/festors lol) if you're completely lazy and rely solely on spore/queen (like me, lol.)

mostly to just stop gateway all-ins or roach-hydra timings (include the nydus to ur natural's front variant)...
other than tat, hydras are pretty bad =.=

spores and extra queens are the best way to hold early on without overcommiting...
besides more queen = creep highway...
