do note both of em are actually high lvl korean pro gamers...

I realised that haha, is so funny that he is trying to fake that he isn't a korean. his micro for spine crawler is so good, I seldom manage to use transfusion correctly on my units

I just watched his other replay, he is officially my idol now, crazy aggresive play.. Even 6 pool-ed someone.. and won

HMm.. Zerg got some difficult time against terran.. But I see protoss also having that, a relative small MM army can rape a relatively big stalker / zealots army

p/s: anyone interested to do some practice match? or worse tutorial match haha

Zerg is already known to be a reactive race so playing defensive is common.

If you kept on thinking other races are overpowered then too bad for you but I think otherwise =)

All race might be equal, or almost.. But somehow I think zerg requires more learning curve just to defend for the basic rush from other race such as 4gate, 2 gate, MMM etc

@narf03 -> this technique was explained a few pages back really.. and it has really helped me out alot since.. now.. if I only can remember to actually Cast the spell.. I always forgot to do that in battle tongue.gif

-------------------

on another note.. this is my Bronze level play I had last nite.. I tried to do a semi-wall in Lost Temple.. just want to show u guys my idea of how to do a semi-wall.. thou please keep in mind.. i'm at Bronze Level.. so my play is kindoff suck.. its the Idea that I want to present tongue.gif

user posted image

the actual game wouldnt have been that long if he just surrender after loosing all his forces

-------------------

this is my other game that I try using Nydus for Reinforcement.. after my Roaches got into his base, I used Nydus to drop in reinforcements.. again.. the Idea I want to show is using Nydus as a means to send in reinforcements.. u know how Roaches always so slow (especially without speed upgrade) and Hydra too.. well a Nydus can send them straight where the action is..

user posted image

------------------

I just want to share my idea.. I know I didnt execute it well, but I'm sure higher skilled players can use this ideas and take it to the next level tongue.gif
hope this helps someone, and not just embarrassment for my skill.. hehe..

I love trying to think of new ideas for using stuff.. so if u guys have any new ideas share it.. so we can all learn something from each other!
*
Cant watch your replay now as I am working now, you dont have to have the mindset of being inferior in any league, just play as the way you want.

For nydus play, try youtube for a person call Argos Zenith or something, learn his infestor and nydus play, it's insane.

Keep losing to my friend in practice match, really have no timing sense against protoss.
Any recommended ZvP video?

well i got some nice ZVP of me getting raped in vista lasik. really good use of zerglings, steady FE/expansions throughout the games. and even thwarted my VR cheese attempt on kulas ravine. totally outplayed.

Zergling are not too useful when you block them with like.. 2 zealots.. or 1 or 2 sentries...

Unless the idea of nydus and drops comes off.. which wont happen that fast too, you might already got ur VR ready?

Yesterday also i just tried nydus into terran base and brought in zergling + hydras...  destroyed his base. Very effective....but of course u need to do this fast and dont wait until they get thors and etc..... biggrin.gif

Well, Simple enuff against terran... beat them them in the 10 minute mark....

You know they gonna wall in... just baneling bust them and send ur lings in then its GG

1 thing though when i use Zerg... i almost never use roaches.... i either tech straight to muta or hydras smile.gif
*
All he ever need to counter that is by.. walling using barrack / factory. extra bunker behind supply depot, offcourse it works when your opponent is unprepared

try watching day9's 3 episode bout handling reapers with zerg...
it shows how to scout, react accordingly and knowing the timings etc...
good watch  icon_rolleyes.gif

That's a good watch, sadly if it's a proxied one there's hardly anything u can do..

I am still figuring out the timing when to get anti air.. It's so defenseless when 3 pheonix arrive while you only have 1 or 2 queens

Sometimes I spread creep like crazy.. but few observer make me feel so sad again.. it took a lot of effort to spread them off

One thing I learned from dimaga's video, prepare to sac an OL when you upgrade to lair, I find that I always find important findings with this

power drone vs power army.. always have this dilemma, since I am not a good macro player I think would need a 3rd hatch between 2 base, sometimes even 4...

i follow the korean style of 1 extra hatch every 2 bases...
especially if u are going mutalings...

Most commentary on the western side (note* English) would say you only need extra hatch cause you have bad macro, makes me feel bad building a third or fourth.

On high level play, hydra is rarely being made, the popular one goes like.. Ultra, zergling (must have?), Muta, Baneling (must have too?), Infestor, Roaches.

Roaches warren are builded even at time when they are not needed too, just as precaution when something bad happens i guess

hi anyone can advise me what is the fastest time zergling able to reach my base. thanks.

You can do the test easily right? it's not hard with the game clock around now

Try 6/7/8 pool, your barrack/gateway should be only halfway done when zergling reach. However it's pretty much depending on maps and scouting right..

5RR rush is a very common rush tactic which is popularly mentioned in TL, it provide an opportunity to either rush it, defense early harassment and viable transition into any other tech path without committing to it.

But so far I have not find too fruitful doing it other than noob opponent which has nothing when my roach reach to knock their ramp.

It's very annoying now that zerg have to constantly deal with ramp block nowadays..
