As promised, I come here today with a bit longer of a game. But still I was testing out a new rush. It’s just a bit of a later rush. So I want to play a guessing game! I will post a screenshot of every major tech choice and we’ll see how long it takes people to guess the rush. :D

So after you end up seeing what it is, think back to at what point you figured it out. ^^

Anyways lets start the game!

I start at the top position on Python (yes python again). + Show Spoiler [Stupid Tangent] +
Omg whenever Python gets to be MOTW I just want to punch a squirrel in its stupid little squirrel face. I mean I think the MOTW system on the whole is a really cool idea but fuck it’s not like people need any more reasons to play on that map.



[image loading]
White, along with yellow, is the worst colour to have with zerg. Thank God for Shift-Tab-Tab that allows me to be the only-slightly-mediocre teal.

Looking to settle into a longer game, I go for a 12 hatch.
[image loading]
A hatchery before the pool? There must be some kind of mistake.

Still, I don’t want too long of a game so I take my gas and opt for a 2 hatch build.
[image loading]
Shut up I know 2 hatch muta is a perfectly standard build that can transition into a perfectly standard macro game. I know, you were thinking it, Mr. Liquidian!

When I hit 100 (and 28) gas I start up my lair.
[image loading]
I’m sorry but lairs arent that funny. Carry on sir.

My lair is seconds from completion but there’s an scv in my base. I’ve got a few lings chasing it but unfortunately they don’t have speed and it’s actually possible to scout zerg in this game. I cross my fingers and hope he’s awful.
[image loading]
My prayers are answered and he loses his scv instantly. He reminds me that I’m lucky for him being awful.

With the scv dead I’m free to continue the quest for my unit of choice.
[image loading]
I apologize for playing that race for having God-Young Ho betray his race and give me such insane luck.

I don’t usually get into games that go somewhat late but I heard once that upgrades are pretty good. Idk though.
[image loading]
No its not an evo chamber all-in. But it should be getting increasingly clear!

[image loading]
Just more tools for the guessing game. The extractor has been taking improv lessons from the lair but its not going too well.

Queens Nest finishes and I get to work on my Hive while also starting +1 carapace.
[image loading]
I couldn't find the Liquipedia passage that says to get hive at 24 food but I’m pretty sure its in there.

I just have 5 sunkens because he only has two barracks complete with an almost-done factory and it’s important not to overreact.
[image loading]
“Ready to lick, sir” - Sunken Colonies

I try to run my lings around to delay his attack some more.
[image loading]
What? No my sunkens alongside 12 lings couldn’t have handled those 9 marines. I needed to stall.

If there’s anyone who hasn’t figured out what I’m doing yet, here it is.
[image loading]
Fine, one more hint: It’s Ultralisks.

His little army is still out on the map but I park my lings outside his base so he can’t straight-up rally over.
[image loading]
Nine lings. That’ll show him.

Finally my precious Ultralisk Cavern is complete. I start Chitnous Plating and 4 ultras, with a 5th to join soon.
[image loading]
No I would never forget to edit out the replay bar! And I certainly wouldn’t do it again in the next picture!

My little ling squad finally gets cleared out by his firebat taskforce.
[image loading]
“Ling Busters! nananananana” - Firebats

I see him erecting a bunker out front of my base. I’m in no imminent danger and my ultralisk imba-armour is going to come online in just a moment. The only rational decision is to just wait for it.
[image loading]
My D-Senses, however, told me that the bunker would make a world of difference against my ultra/ling army.

The D-Senses are, of course, way too powerful so I go in for the attack.
[image loading]
The bunker finished before my ultras got in melee range anyway T_T.

I clean up most of the army with 3 ultras still standing.
[image loading]
I actually end up losing one of those ultras because it turns out I’m terrible so that the other ones can heal up by eating its corpse.

At this point terran is spamming mines all over the place. With a low-econ, pure melee army, this a bit problematic.
[image loading]
But don’t worry, I have giant 200 gas minsweepers.

There’s no really scary air units for terran so its not a problem that I can’t shoot up or make anything that shoots up. Right?
[image loading]
“What? Units go inside that and then can come out in my base?” I actually never end up dealing with the thing.

It turns out my minesweepers were just a bit too good so they were almost dead by the time I got to his base.
[image loading]
And a few were fully dead by the time I got to his army.

I’ve got some zerglings (now featuring crack!) trickling in but I’m pretty much cleaned up at this point.
[image loading]
It turns out cracklings aren’t quite as unfair as I thought they were when I played terran.

The only thing left is some end-of-game friendly banter.
[image loading]
[image loading]

Finally I officially concede the game and call the GG, thus concluding the my first ever loss battle report. :D
[image loading]

Okay now for some srs bsns. I don’t want to entirely abandon the ultra rush quite yet. I’m thinking a bit more lings for backstab with less sunkens? Perhaps more importantly than “more” lings would be “lings actually positioned for backstab instead of chillin in my main and going for the runaround when his shit’s actually at my base.” Any help appreciated.

Also, don’t forget about the guessing game! How did you guys do? I feel it might have been given away at the evo chamber, if not the queens nest (could have still been queens though!)

Hope you enjoyed. ^^

I think your problem was the positioning and your letting him set up a costly contain at your front. What you have to do is ninja a hatch somewhere and use those larva to build zerglings. Minesweep with zerglings first. Then clean up with ultraling!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

Dude, you're doing it wrong. You have to go crazy zerg if you want totally early ultras, and have 2 evos instead of 1.

The trick is to hide the expansion in another main to make him think you are all-inning

edit: Knew it was guard/proxy hatch/ultra the second you did 12 hatch. Then I saw the hatch placed down and knew guard/ultra. Ultra being more likely. Hatch gives it away

Meh youre pretty much stuck defending with sunkens so you cant really try to defend 2 completely separate places. ^^

Ok just read your other 2 BRs. I have proxy hatch replays if you want to see. Proxy hatch = most hilarious cheese in the world. "Creep? What creep?!? There ain't no creep in my base!"

"There ain't any fire extinguishers either"

Also, are you pokerface? o.o

Enjoyed reading all 3 of your BRs. Keep up the good work. I'd really like to give you some advice on this rather non-standard build, but since I'm even worse player than you, I can only show you support for doing these .
Looking forward for more reports

Really you only have to pass like 1200-1300 points to find people who have a pretty good idea of build orders and how a particular match up is supposed to look from start to finish. Mostly just bad at executing it.

No ignore! I've done enough proxy hatches to have some idea what I'm doing though. But still, what is this proxy hatch guide? :/

Also, though I agree proxy hatch into ultra rush would be badass as all hell I dont know if it could be done. I do my hatchery rushes in their main and I really need my hatch at a second gas if I'm gonna be ultra rushing. I guess I could just take his natural or something. ^^ But that would just encourage things like drops and siege tanks which you really dont want to deal with when ultra rushing. Idk. TT

I realized when I saw you talk about the hive and thought "what unit goes well with upgrades...possibly lots of armor upgrades."

2base ultra wouldn't be that silly if you had the gas to support it... otherwise you just have a lot of leftover minerals and not enough larva to make lings with them.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

Consider searching our lovely and classic BW strategy forum every once in a while . I love typing "guide" in the searchbox just to see what comes up when narrowed to just BW strat. forum.
Clicky. Found by typing "Proxy Hatch Guide". Also, I just took a 5 hour nap so sorry for the late response lol.

Replays are in there and I have a bunch of his desti replays . Ask him for the ultra one and I'm sure he'll give you it(and maybe another 2 dozen replays to sort through). Remember you can always win in the end!

This is an excellent guide when I started reading it I was a newby d- zerg but now 3 days after following this guide I've become a solid B zerg! Thanks Kau!

I recommend the guide to all aspiring zergs.

This is an excellent guide when I started reading it I was a newby d- zerg but now 3 days after following this guide I've become a solid B zerg! Thanks Kau!

I recommend the guide to all aspiring zergs.



Ooh thats one hell of a guide. I'll make sure to give it a look! :D

It feels like I've had the BW Strategy section minimized in the sidebar forever.

Really you only have to pass like 1200-1300 points to find people who have a pretty good idea of build orders and how a particular match up is supposed to look from start to finish. Mostly just bad at executing it.

Yeah that would certainly make more sense. >_>

Why am I ignored? . Also, check out the proxy hatch guide . You can always go proxy hatch into ultra rush


No ignore! I've done enough proxy hatches to have some idea what I'm doing though. But still, what is this proxy hatch guide? :/

Also, though I agree proxy hatch into ultra rush would be badass as all hell I dont know if it could be done. I do my hatchery rushes in their main and I really need my hatch at a second gas if I'm gonna be ultra rushing. I guess I could just take his natural or something. ^^ But that would just encourage things like drops and siege tanks which you really dont want to deal with when ultra rushing. Idk. TT

This makes me feel warm and fuzzy, Welcome to TL!


Consider searching our lovely and classic BW strategy forum every once in a while . I love typing "guide" in the searchbox just to see what comes up when narrowed to just BW strat. forum.
Clicky. Found by typing "Proxy Hatch Guide". Also, I just took a 5 hour nap so sorry for the late response lol.

Replays are in there and I have a bunch of his desti replays . Ask him for the ultra one and I'm sure he'll give you it(and maybe another 2 dozen replays to sort through). Remember you can always win in the end!
