yeah, for reaper rush and zealot rush, at 10 supply we can detect, but air rush attack for me is vital too.
Don wanna waste resource to do air defense if no air threats.

usually i scout with 10th drone, quite sad if ppl rushed before hand

usually i scout with my 6th drone....
not sure if its the correct way...lol

me too


wow so fast

yar...becoz during my early league...i like to rush ppl...
so i dun wanna kena my self..lol

i dont do much scouting.... coz i know my opponent fear the zerg... confirm will go for bunker in.... i rather pump up my money count

but in the beginning will send the overlord in

imho zerg is all bout counter attk,
u know wats ur opponent gonna do, u gain advantage...

exactly bro..
it is sooo vital for zerg to scout everytime..
either by early drone, overlord or changeling..

but the question is, do u hv the skills to scout?

I have to be ashamed of not scouting much. Most of the time I use my 7th sense and it works!

This maybe because Zerg usually PowerDrone up until the opponent makes a move.. then Zerg mass produce units..
however.. if Zerg is the one that produce units early and moving against opponent.. They would have to do the counter then.. right?
hehe.. imho

the answer is I dont.. or dont do as much as I should.. and even if I did scout, I'm not even sure how to interpret what I see..

ugh.. he got 7th sense some more.. more extra then 6th sense huh.. hehehe

How do you actually do the spawn larvae trick?? im not exactly sure how to do it

Zerg can switch tech easily..
If u scout and ur opponent is doing mass zealots or mass helions..
u can just do 1 building of spire, and ur 2 or 3 hatcheries can mass produce mutas..

Thats y it is so damn advantage if u hv the scouting skills..
which i'm not good at it..

try to spread ur overlord (get the speed upgrade)...
and suicide 1 zergling from time to time...

most of the time suicide zergling is not really useful, most of the opponent i met will walled off thier entrance...

its useful actually...
depending on wut ur ling die to, u can kinda predict ur opponent's unit compo and builds/ timing...
besides u can see is there a bunker etc to know is he turtling...

and constant creep spreading is needed as well when u reach midgame...

note taken...

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

by the time i get the overlord speed upgrade, they already rushing with banshees..

i always advise to get 2 queens in ur main...
queen have high air DPS with superior range...
the 2nd queen can spread the creep well...

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
