So one of my really good friends knows i'm obsessed with starcraft and such. He's not nearly as hardcore as me or my roommate, but he'll occasionally watch games with us and he understands certain strategies and will comment when I play like "oh you only got 1 gas are you fast expanding?" or stuff like that. basic shit.
anyway he got insanely baked the other day and really wanted to help out my zerg, which has been lacking lately. everyone talks about how zerg is underpowered and such so i've been trying to devise builds that are solid enough to repel this notion.
but no matter what I do, i havent been able to come up with a good build to make zerg a viable race
that is
until now
+ Show Spoiler [invincible build] +
its so simple. how had i not thought of it before???

He wrote this when he was baked?
|
yup. thats how you know its viable.
|
|
I like how the ultras are only one food.
But seriously, there is no way you could lose with that build

Epic. :D
|
also, i'm pretending you're talking about broodwar and by "one gas" he meant one worker on gas. and by not viable you mean not auto-win
|
Looks like a solid build. I just think it gets countered pretty hard by the 9-tripple-starport10-fusion core-BC rush.
Btw. he forgot a second overlord :/

extractor trick at every gas on the map. please don't comment unless you're 700 diamond.

The extractor trick? Sounds like a good bw way to 10 overlord

Ultra den with no hive? One food ultras? Count me in!

Edit: By the way, fast tech ultralisk might actually be a viable counter to T's who PF their second or third now....

Your friend just broke the game, now Zerg has to get nerfed again.
|
i love the way the build order veers to the right a little bit.

Hahahaha.
If someone showed me a paper saying that you build a overlord, pool then mass ultras i'd laugh my ass off so hard. 10/5

Those things are called pygalisks. They have 50 HP, 2 armor and deal 4 damage. I would think you'd need more than 15 of them to win a game.

I tested it, works like a charm. Though I had to wizard up some of the build order, because I probably read it wrong. Where should I upload the replay?
Edit: actually, it would be extremely boring to view aside from rolling ultralisks.
|
This is the best build order of all time. Your friend broke the game.
|
NO SUCH THING AS ULTRALISK DEN
CANNOT GET PAST STEP 3 NOOOOOOO.

rofl i totally missed that looool

How are you getting ultra den without gas? This build order is flawed...
|
What if i win before 27 pop?

I posted this on Liquipedia II, hopefully it will go a long way into giving those Terran marauder abusing scrubs a taste of their own medicine.

Overpool to Ultralisk Timing Push
The reasoning behind this build is very simple. Trying to take an expansion before you have Zerglings out to assist is very risky. If a Protoss decides to put a Probe in the way and micro it, it is very difficult to place your Hatchery down at a good timing. By getting Ultralisks early, you can safely ignore the probe and destroy his base.
10 Overlord 10 Pool 12 Ultralisk Cavern 13 Ultralisk 14 Ultralisk 15 Ultralisk 16 Ultralisk 17 Ultralisk 18 Ultralisk 19 Ultralisk 20 Ultralisk 21 Ultralisk 22 Ultralisk 23 Ultralisk 24 Ultralisk 25 Ultralisk 26 Ultralisk 27 Ultralisk
If you executed the build order correctly you should be able to push out with 15 Ultralisks at the 5 minute mark.

i can't wait for people in the sc2 strat forums talking about how this isn't possible.

Actually, I think this will probably lose to the epic double observatory into 12 gate build. Oh wait, wrong game.

+ Show Spoiler +Basically, anyone dumb enough to believe this is real shouldn't even bother going on Liquipedia..... It should definitely be there. It's not like it would be misleading anyone with bad information, it's a joke.....

Your friend has just made the fastest possible tech to ultras :D omg :D
|
Uh excuse me brother but you can't have 16 ultras with only 1 overlord, Floyven!
|
Do you get paid to troll?
"Let's get baked and write down awesome strats for SC2"
It may just be viable though.
