I'm still number 1 in my current bronze league. Playing silvers and golds on the regular now, and winning quite a few, hoping it jumps my league up soon. The replay below is the result of my watching a couple of the egmachine coaching vods from mr. bitter. It's a weird baneling strat that I didn't execute to perfection, but I am working on it!

-I definitely needed to take more map control with the zerglings I had.
-I morphed the banelings way too early, on my side of the map I mean.
-I should have taken out that spinecrawler much earlier, how many banelings does it take to kill a spinecrawler?

w00t, love it when people benefit from our coaching stuff.

4 banes kill 1 spine. 3 banes and like, 5 hits from a ling will do it too.

Morphing banes on your side of the map is ok, but you need to keep an eye on them so they aren't easily picked off by single lings.

ZvZ, especially when going banes, is all about map control.

And also, remember to just morph 2 banes at a time. Set that rally point and forget about 'em.

I'm hoping for a promotion after the ladder reset, I've been looking at a lot of players that have a diamond/plat 1v1 rating, with zero games played after they qualified. Like they're afraid of losing their rating.

Here's another one from watching the Mr. Bitter EGmachine coaching vods. It's a ZvZ, and although I believe the idea was meant for toss, it worked out just fine. I'm still trying to figure out how this one got me reported for hacking though :-/.
