EPTHere's notes I took after each game:
+ Show Spoiler +
[Z][Xel'naga Caverns][Win] Gray - 21 Speedling Expand. He went for a roach/ling push that I held off. I then moved out with slow roaches but his mass speedlings took it out. Probably shouldn't have moved out, or at least scouted with an overlord first. A defensive baneling nest would've probably been pretty useful. I eventually denied his third, and pushed out with a lot of roaches. He had infestors, but missed his fungals, and I won.
[Z][Xel'naga Caverns][Win] manyppl - 21 Speedling Expand. This guy didn't build many drones, and he didn't do any early push, so I was free to mass drone and go out with a huge roach push through his unscouted 'tasteless secret hallway'. I also realized I hadn't scouted my own, and was rather vulnerable. I also build two Lairs somehow...
[Z][Shakuras Plateau][Loss] Scratch - 21 Speedling Expand. I got distracted and my natural hatch went down a bit late. Got a bit of harass in, but no real damage. I droned too hard and he went pure speedling and destroyed me. I should've snuck a ling in to scout and perhaps a defensive baneling nest would've proven useful again.
[Z][Shattered Temple][Win] Box - 21 Speedling Expand. I dropped a defensive baneling nest this match, but it didn't do alot. It held off like 8-10 lings that I could've held off through other means. Eventually I got safe, droned up, pumped roaches with upgrades and pushed. He had a couple infestors, but two fungals wasn't nearly enough.
[Z][Xel'naga Caverns][Win] IKizzy - 21 Speedling Expand. I was supposed to Ice Fisher against this guy but I completely forgot too. I guess I'm justl oving this speedling expand build too much lately. Might just start using this in all my matchups. Scouted a ton of barracks with addons, so heavy bio-play was expected. Massed roaches/infestors, got some great fungals, pushed and won.
[T][Tal'Darim Altar][Win] Pablito - 21 Speedling Expand. He went mass marine and reactor hellion. He did an early push with marines, but I scouted it out and pumped speedlings to defend. I went muta/ling/bling, and he scanned my spire going up, so by the time the mtuas got to his base there were turrets everywhere. I'll try to hide it next time. Held off his push with speed banelings on creep and he left. He never even expanded to his third I don't think. I was getting up my fourth.
[P][Scrap Station][Win] LoneDisciple - 21 Speedling Expand. I scouted one robo bay, and knew colossues was probable, but I stil feel awkward when dealing with them. He broke down the rocks and I was almost certain I was going to get crushed, but I held my forces back, pumped out as many as I could, and ended up crushing it. After that I did a drop I didn't like too much, I should've either not done it at all, or had a stronger push at the front at the same time. I denied his third, expanded to my fourth, and made one final push into his base.
[P][Slag Pits][Win] Resplendent - 21 Speedling Expand. He had a late expansion, so I got a little defensive early on. I scouted gateways and a twilight council and assumed a blink stalker push, probably should've had a follow-up scout to check for a Dark Shrine, as he did sneak one into my base. Did minimal damage. Massed roaches and started infestors, moved through his back hallway and took him out. Upon watching the replay I DID scout the Dark Shrine, but it was in the process of building and I assumed it was a pylon or something. Whoops. I was also a bit behind in drone count when I began pumping roaches, I should find a better system of counting how many I have before I pump.
[Z][Metalopolis][Win] microBOLTON - 21 Speedling Expand. He went hatch first, I tried to apply some speedling pressure but we spawned far positions. I droned up, he droned up. I went roach, he went roach, I denied his third two or three times. I eventually went infestor, got some great fungals, and took out his army. I also had brood lords otw. I probably should've scouted better.
[Z][Tal'darim Altar][Win] DarKSlaYer - 21 Speedling Expand. Far positions. I decided to apply a decent amount of pressure while still expanding. I feel like I had a really good balance of lings/drone production to keep up with what he was making. I denied his natural before it went up the first time, poked in his base a few more times, and killed it again and he left. My money got pretty high, but overall I was pretty happy with how this match went.
