EPTWhy do i hate it so?...
Well at least on the SEA server a ZvZ usually just equals to your opponent pooling early and getting 30 lings really fast to vs your 8 roaches...Thats the easy part. Then you get Mutas almost instantly flying in your back door and your lair has barely finished and you need to hydra really fast.
or they just get 50 banes and roll into your base.
It really annoying...it takes 2 banelings to kill 1 baneling...ugh. Just really annoying to deal with for me. Although lately ive been trying to get a fast corrupter or 2 and target some OV's down and force them to either muta or hydra, then go Hydra or baneRoach respectively. That seems to work ok as long as you keep the scoutlings out of your base.
But one thing i do like, is sneaking my 9drone into their base and when my pool pops, build a spinecrawler in the mineral line, in a place thats hard to surround (eg, only 2 drones/lings can hit it) Usually rack up 8-10 kills that way and can early roach push for the win. I dont call it cheese either, cos if the spine fails, you still have a massive economy and can just resume normal play.
And if you really want to make sure the spine goes down, get a few early lings to run around on the outskirts of thier creep to distract them.
Today so far has been a good day to ladder, Earned well over 200 points today. Keep getting opponents that are in gold/plat (NOTE: im silver
) and bnet says that its an even matchup? =\Anyway all, GL HF GG PEACE :D
