QUOTE(Sky.Live @ Sep 21 2010, 04:20 PM) 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 imho save ur 2 queen energy to trauma each other for early air rush..

QUOTE(evofantasy @ Sep 21 2010, 04:18 PM) 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... yeah, but the anooying part, the banshees will harass my expansion

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

more use of Nydus Worm..
1) Remote Expand (especially to the islands on some maps) 2) Put one on each base, so u can defend any expo u have easily 3) Fake Nydus Pop, keep them on their toes, make them defend rather then attack you, or as a distraction
and.. I'm sure alot of people know this.. but in case new Zerg player didnt know, you can set rally point to your Nydus, so all your base can train unit and collect them into your Nydus network..
one thing I had problem with thou.. If I cram too many units inside the Nydus, I cant select the drones I put in there last.. this happens when the unit representation (the green unit icon on the lower center screen) has 4 tab numbers on them..
I had to take out all my units just to get that one drone out.. all the 4 tabs doesnt show the drone icon.. so I cant click on it just to take it out.. anyone faced this problem before?

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...

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.

I just got owned by mass Thors... how the heck do you deal with mass thors. x_x He just conveniently walls himself in with barracks + bunkers... and starts pumping thors. And by the time i realize it im screwed. How do you fight thors on even ground ( or superior ) with zerg ? I don't want the " kill him before he gets them " strategy though.
