Anyone have tips on when to drone, or how many drones to get in zvp? I've been having that problem, against the 1 gate core builds. Please don't just say put down 6 spine crawlers and then drone, because it definitely depends on which 4 gate variation they end up doing, and they can always still expand quickly against you to put you far behind.

If they arnt 2 gateing get a few lings outside their base and get speed fairly early. If they are 1 gate core you can pump drones for a good while. Eventually you need to learn the timing on when the send your overlord into their main to see what they are doing. if they are 4 gating put down 4 or so spines and pump lings for a while.(Your just trying to delay yourself from dieing until you can get hydras out) Pretty much just pump drones when you know he cant hurt you.

Download and Watch Gisado's Korean replays from this link:

I recommend the zerg player named oGsZenio replays. Watch the replays in "Faster" speed and in First Person View. Observe carefully how he scouts, makes drones, macros, multitasks, etc. Good luck.
