So I was like, hmmm. Ima learn zerg.

So then I was like "hmmm, I've watched vods, got help from Saracen and Guitarizt the awesome.(s)

I've creamed the shit out of computers with reasonable macro. And that's no good.

I've crushed in customs, got crushed in customs, got mostly cheesed in customs...

So it's time to bring my inferior zerg skills to the diamond ladder ^^

After a few games just dieing to literally consecutively

1) proxy 2 gate
2) proxy 3 rx (2 proxy, one in base)
3) 7 pool spine crawler rush.

Then I got knocked down to playing a platinum protoss. Literally got up to 80 drones in 14 minutes, and got four bases, and then just killed his deathball with waves of roach infestor

I've lost a couple game to bunker rushes.

Encountered a guy who has been on my friends list since early early release, but I haven't talked to for ages.

Encountered VPSkeptiK, who I played on Mr. Bitter's show as a terran sparring buddy, in a game that was described as an abortion lol.

So then I used my ONLY zvz build from saracen, which is a roach ling all in (I think, I have no understanding of zvz) And beat SkeptiK

Did it against another guy, he holds. He gets mass muta crawler. I drop his base (hahaha) and fungal like a 50 food advantage of mutaling and kill him. Lol.

Play a terran. I get to like 50 drones, still hasn't moved out. Pump lings. Kill all his third scvs. Get to 80 drones. Then Im' like SHIT, he should have soooo much right now. I'm so screwed. Why'd I drone this hard.

Then like 20 vikings go into my base, bunch up behind the mineral line and land. I then just move in with infestors and roaches and own that. And then I spend 5 minutes breaking a shitton of pforts and turrets and tanks.


My record is slightly losing for the day. (5-7) But I've only lost like 15 points on ladder because of bonus pool. I played a couple plats and crushed them. Master league here I come :DD

(I love makign a shitton of drones)

Also I played a protoss twice in a row who did a 1) proxy two gate that i held off, and 2) dt into 7(!) gate blink stalker push. Lost to the second one

I now know why on Inside the Game all the zergs are the ones complaining about maintaining morale after getting continually cheezed :D

Sort of depressing I'm doing as well as I am. I think my low APM is actually not hurting me as bad as it did as Terran

More zerg play coming up tomorrow.

Good luck in Zergland, I've actually been bouncing back and forth between P and Z. I think P is so much easier to not get supply blocked, but Z I just have such a better understanding of every match-up.

You having any trouble with getting supply blocked as soon as your 4x larva pops down from 2 or 3 hatches? I think that is the one thing killing me in my games the most. For example, against terran I have a good timed spire as soon as my lair is finished...it finishes only for me to look up and see me supply blocked with 1k min 1k gas (10 mutas) and 2 port banshee flying in my base. Snipes my queen and then my spire as soon as I get unblocked food count. Ragequit

About that 80 drones in 14 minutes game, did the Protoss not scout that with an observer? That's like THE golden ticket for a Protoss to attack. o_O

I find Zerg to get really easy to get supply blocked because it's so easy to harass Overlords. Phoenixes, Vikings, and you run the risk of losing an Overlord that's giving you map vision of some areas. :I

Good luck with playing as Zerg. I'd play it if ZvZ wasn't as irritating as it is...

For some reason this was really interesting to read. And also, what is a mutacrawler? Sounds pretty badass, I guess you meant spine crawler.

I want mutacrawlers...maybe in HotS.

Lololol.

I forgot a couple games.

One guy went three stargate phoenix, proxied. And just killed ~100% of my overlords

The mutacrawler is the badass combination of mutalisk and spine crawler, just about the only two units he build.

Btw Cecil, I'm trying to follow the rules of your epic guide http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=208343
