Yeah.. I heard Day9 said the advantage of Zerg is they have a very mobile army (with the exception of BroodLord perhaps.. they are very slow flier).. we should try to exploit that as much as we can

or you can try popping up a Nydus worm somewhere they least expected.. really loving those worms.. really help me out with attacking and expanding.. then again I'm in practice league so not sure how it will be in the real league

was over at Craftingstars.com and I saw this video.. its in Korean so I dont know what he is talking about..

but MAN... thats one beautiful Nydus play! I know nydus is a good tool.. but that guy just push it to the limit!



btw.. I dont know if the youtube link up there will work or not.. but the link is as follows

edit: nope.. i dunno how to make that YOUTUBE tag work..

*goldfries : edited youtube tag for you.

I've seen a group of Ultra taking on a Mech heavy Terran army and won! Its one of TLO's game where he is using Zerg.. the effective way to use them is to surround/flank the Terran army so their splash damage will have full effect.. or so Husky said when he was commenting on the game

so yeah.. Zerg need skills to win (and I'm low on that)

hey guys.. I need some tip here.. as a Zerg how do I win against Terran Hard AI?

I always loose when the Tanks came out.. or abit after that..

I would need banelings right?

maybe my BO is whacked.. so I cant keep up in terms of Tech.. usually I have zergling and baneling when they came at me with tanks

Wth? Goldfries! u never made Queens????

I think they are a must haves.. or at least pro people using it too..

I'm guessing u making multiple hatcheries per mineral location?

with Queens you can stockpile Larvae.. lots and lots of Larvae.. not limited to the max 3 larvae per hatch..

thou you have to micro them.. which I usually forgot in the heat of battle

hey guys.. thanks for the "Control Group Queens, Click V and click on minimap, the nearest queen will cast on nearest hatch" tip..

that really helped me out..

any more good tips? hehe

any good replays that I watch on How to properly play Zerg? Especially from the sifu here (poke at Moonflown)..

uhhrrrmmm... correct me if I'm wrong.. but... I thought Infestors could not control flying units?

what caasisc said.. and refer to this post

so now I can just select the Queens Control Group (usually group 5 for me) and hit "V" for the larvae then Click on my Hatcheries on the minimap (usually indicated by being the biggest square) and you are done!

In 2-3 seconds where as before it would take me longer looking for the closest queens amongst my Overlords (i usually got it stuck behind a bunch overlords on my base, hence difficult to see )

btw.. I havent seen your replay yet Sky.. but then again I am in lower league then you.. hehe.. dont think I can help much

Quote of the Day!

I agree whole heartedly!

Added on August 27, 2010, 4:02 pmam not too proud of that SC2sig really.. I'm loosing my ladder fight Alot!

I think its more of who I am rather then out of practice huhuhu...

those where literal commands for the in game chat system I believe...

it uses the same cmd as IRC did.. in fact.. they may even took and IRC client and put them inside the game

After seeing that match.. I'm thinking that my play have been too passive for a Zerg..

I should have been more aggressive in my games

love seeing Sichiri's Roaches just mows thru the front door of that Terran base

U did very good overall I think.. kudos for keeping the pressure on him..

From what I see, he is using one blob of army to cover both of his bases.. if he is distracted elsewhere, a nydus/drop could be done on the other side..

then again.. hind sight is 20/20

just my 2cent

yeah going Roach heavy is a gamble.. I had one fight where I almost wipe out his base, but he crank up some air units that totally destroyed me in the end

so now I try to mix Roach and Hydra.. or go Roach first and have Hydra ready for switch if he go for air..

however.. if u go roach heavy and cant end the game quickly.. its almost a certain GG (for me atleast)

but my scouting and BO is still pretty weak.. so its all not that good for me right now.. hehe..

I'm all strategist but lack the execution skill when it really comes down to the wire.. hehehe..

ok my turn.. I need all the advice I can get on this..

if u guys can point me what I did wrong.. and how I can overcome this problem..

its a very short game.. in 11min I GG already..

I probably expand too early.. didnt scout properly.. and skipping speedlings.. all spell G G for me

I welcome any input/help/oppinion

well... in the later part of the game I did.. but was too late thou.. hehe

thanks for the input.. yeah.. was roach heavy at that time.. maybe I should go for speedling+hydra mix?

@narf03 -> that sounds pretty similar to the game that I lost.. he went for speedling+hydra.. I rolled him with my Roaches.. wiped one of his base.. but he popped Muta from his other base and I GG hehe..

nice play there Ash.. was hoping you would use those Nydus alot more actually..

Hit them where it hurt the most.. Nydus in to hit their mineral lines!

I love them Nydus play

I think I know why I cant hold his rush.. I didnt saturate my mineral line.. just got tip from Moon last nite to pun 26 drones to fill mineral line

If I can get more minerals and more larvae maybe I could do it..

been working on my drone count/extra lair in my main base right now..

About that infestor.. yes.. Raven/Missile turret would see them.. and I've seen games where 4-5 Infestor spawn a whole bunch of infested marines at a terran new expansion and shut it down for good..

nice Air Battle!

both players decided to go Air.. hehe..

the only thing I have to say is.. u had Lots of mineral unspent! probably would finish it earlier if it werent so high..

imagine how many speelings u could do with them!! and flood his base!! hehe
