Still playing my placement matches with Zerg

Darn hard to use la hahaha

Hi experts,

For ZvP,

Should we put our Overlords scattered around the map or we put them most on our base?

Because those early phoenix rush is annoying..

even in ur base, the phoenix can kill it...
better to spread em so u would know if ur opponent are going phoenix for u to prepare a coutenrattack/ more queens/ tech to hydras

Not only pheonix, vikings can be annoying as well. Sometimes sacrificing a few overlords for intel is worth it IMO.

well I have a question as well..

do you guys do the "Extractor trick"?

is it really worth doing?

imho, nt worth...

hmm do zerg players like or scare cockroaches?

maybe worth it, the extrator is 75 mineral, it has 2 benefit, slow down enemy making an extractor thus slow down anything that need alot of gas, and it provide vision for as long as the extractor survive, and drag some of their firepower away from entrance(incase you want to rush)

wut u said is not the extractor trick "

the extractor trick is when u are 10/10 and u cant make the 11th drone without a overlord...
wut u do is u take a drone turn it into a extractor, make the 11th drone (now 10th since one is a extractor) then cancel the extractor leaving u with 11/10 for a few seconds...
u can do 12/10 as well with a slightly delayed overlord...

do zerg players like zerg because the units are cool?

They are not cool!!! They are ugly bugs!!

i like zerg because i like aliens -__- played zerg since sc1bw

Maybe becoz it can give psychological affect to the opponent..
Zerg looks creepy so, opponent will get scared..

terran is scarier imho

oh sorry i misunderstood, that method i do use as well, but not that often, i dont use it at 12/10, i do use it when i accidentally created drone and the unit count just left 1 and i need queen fast, then i do build extractor then cancel, cause delay making queen is quite serious set back, and i dont wanna cancel the drone cause larvae are rare, i rather lose 25% of an extractor, even i do use to make chamber and cancel too if the unit count i need urgently or even in middle game i do kill 1 of my unit if i need that count urgent.

BTW,would you set overload to patrol mode in large map like LT to scout on unnatural expansion?

i keel them. then again im no zherk player. random loololol

usually just put overlord stay there and dont move, do not stand right middle in the expansion, put it further away, you just need to see the mineral, only take action when you spot scv mining those minerals, so basically doing this, u can see them and they cant see you.

why so many ppl hate 6 pool?

cause ppl didnt enjoyed the game, usually 6 ppl can end the game pretty fast, b4 another other race have their 1st troop, b4 terran seal the entrance.
