I've lately started going 2 base baneling ZvT and owning people up with OL drops and flanks and counterattacks.

Even though its not a cheese, people who seems like nice people doesnt say GG. =(

Guess they don't like explosions!

Also I've been wearing a morningrobe all day.

I rolled over a terran army today with 113 banelings.

He wasn't happy seeing his marine/thor army demolished, then killing two of his PF's and all workers.

I think I'm going to wear a morningrobe all day tomorrow just for the hell of it.

Thanks for the idea O_O.

Edit: I say gg to everything, even cheese.

Please teach me how to make more banelings, I'm totally bad at it. I even build the bling nest, then don't morph any banelings because it seems counter-productive - making a unit to kill itself.

Also, I too would like to spend the day in my morning robe.

Now whenever I get baneling rushed I'll have the mental image of some smug dude in a morning robe wearing fluffy slippers.

I don't have any specific timing build for my banelingsnest or anything. I just start out 15hatch14pool or 14hatch13pool then get some good saturation on the minerals and 2 gas, once i feel i can pump lings constantly thats when I shove down mah banelings nest. Denying some early pushes if he goes for that. And saving up alot of gas, so u can get drop and speed upgrade for OL as soon as you hit lair, eventually get an Infestation pit. So u can burrow and do some sneaky attacks also.

Yesterday I played a match vs T where he had 6 thors 17 tanks and 30 hellions. I rolled him over with ling baneling lol.

I've been going banshee pretty often now just because of two base banes. That freaking stream of lings and banes gives me nightmares :l

You and every other zerg is going 2 base banelings on ladder. It's pretty powerful.

I'm guessing it feels like losing to 1base lurker drop on iCCup.
"Yeahh I have an army yeahhh!"
*boom boom boom*
"Fuck that's so unfair."

It's a blog post, not a thread.

My guess is that your opponents didn't properly scout and react? That seemed to be the trend with a lot of games I played during my friend-code period. After the initial scout, they'd never send another one to see what I could be up to until scan/observer/whatever zerg uses, so I did whatever I felt like doing. =(

That's how Zerg is. It's not a cost-efficient race so throwing away minerals is a normal thing.

Better yet, I did a 3 base baneling to a bronze terran on blistering sands, researched burrow, ovie speed and drop. I didn't even attack him in any single way but dropping on his mineral line. Then he attacked with his mass marines and POW POW. 10 burrowed banelings took out something like 50-60 marines without trying. That's what happens when you don't scan.

Result: Mass bm.

Him: Yeah, massing banelings is just so difficult.
Me: If you compare with massing marines, yes. It requires 2 types of resources.
