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] +
[image loading]


its so simple. how had i not thought of it before???

I like how the ultras are only one food.

But seriously, there is no way you could lose with that build

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 :/

Maybe those mini-ultras from the campaign though.

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

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.

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.

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Overpool_Ultralisk_Timing_Push

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.
