Is basically how my zvz seem recently. Not even necessarily because my opponents are that bad.

So, I made a zvz build. I was going to post it in the sc2 strategy forum, but that's boring. Anyway, turns out I can make big mistakes and still somehow win?

Here's six replays.

http://topreplays.com/Replays/Details/3095/Vanka_vs_Babtong

This was when I was at 1600 points first time beating a 1800 player. Have lol macro, I throw away all my mutas for nothing, and I give away my nat.

http://topreplays.com/Replays/Details/3092/Vanka_vs_JGOSShttp://topreplays.com/Replays/Details/3092/Vanka_vs_JGOSS

I have a later expansion, forget to move my spines and sloppily lose both my queens, miss his transition completely, and have terrible macro. Still win (okay this guy was pretty bad, he probably threw the game)

http://topreplays.com/Replays/Details/3093/Vanka_vs_Cuong

This is great, 6 banelings unnoticed walk into my mineral line and I have 9 drones left. Still win.

http://topreplays.com/Replays/Details/3098/Vanka_vs_Jason

I build two overlords instead of one at 10 food.

http://topreplays.com/Replays/Details/3094/Vanka_vs_CeVo

He walks into my nat with 8 roaches and I have...4 unburrowed spine crawlers.

http://topreplays.com/Replays/Details/3096/Vanka_vs_jonathan

I must have knocked this guy down from 1900 with my win. He killed most of my drones, had higher apm (omg!)...and didn't realize that hydras die to banelings. His dedication to his tech choice was pretty lol.


Anyway, if you want an incentive to watch zvz, a large portion of these games are won with mass broodlords.

Also, for those who care, all of these players are 1800 diamond level (myself included).

The build is lair before queen, 3-4 spines, spire, 3-4 mutas into expand, into whatever the hell you want.

You can make big mistakes and still win as long as you make less big mistakes than your opponent.
Pretty lols at times though, will try this strat out sometime

I don't...for some reason I feel that Starcraft 2 is a lot more forgiving for mistakes.

It's fine.

It's generally considered bad manners to post replays of yourself winning unless it's to prove a point. I don't see what you're trying to say. You could at least post a reflection or summary. This seems like more of a congratulations thread. Here, you are congratulated for beating players, even when you made mistakes because they made worse mistakes. Now, go get more points and continue playing. Players will abuse your mistakes like they should.
There is no one like you in the universe.

I used to do a similar-ish build, but i found it went badly if he also went spire because i got pulled into a total air battle.

I just won a PvP on Shakuras Plateau.

I left a opponents scouting Pylon in the mineral line of my second expo the entire game. =D
Luckily, he did not warp in any units there.

*thnx to the lady Luck*
