HAI GUYS CLEVER HERE AGAIN WITH ANOTHER PATENTED AWESOME BUILD ORDER THAT WORKS FOR ME IN MY TEAM GAMES AT A DIAMoNDish LEVEL

IT'S CALLED THE NO GAS EVER BUILD BECAUSE IT INVOLVES NEVER GETTING GAS EVER
[image loading]
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE HATERS

Build Order:
+ Show Spoiler +

15 hatch in main (don't want to get cheezed)
15 pool
*note: do not get gas
21 hatch on nat
WHEN POOL FINISHES, BEGIN CONSTANT QUEEN PRODUCTION

Use all larva on drones. Drop 2 spines in your main and two at your nat. Take new bases and add macro hatcheries as necessary, along with additional spine and spore crawlers.


Why this build is great for 4v4s:

- Who actually gives a fuck about 4v4s? Do you? SHAME ON YOU!
- How many times have you lost to obnoxious mass air units in 4v4s? If you use this build, your queens will scoff in the face of such strategies.

[image loading]

- You will spread so many creep tumors that you will have vision of the whole map
- You can dump all your gas to your allies and they will build 6 trillion mutas (this is a less purist version of the build, similar to if you got upgrades for your queens. ONLY GET GAS IF YOU HAVE AN IRRATIONAL DESIRE TO WIN)
- It is the ultimate troll strategy, exceeding even Nexus-Nexus-Nexus-8 stargate void rays in trolltasticness

Important components:
- Transfuse micro is the core of this build! I'm not good enough to time it out, so i just hold T and spam click indiscriminately across any queen without full health

[image loading]

- Keep an eye on your money. If you have a lot, box all the drones at one of your bases, make 24 spine crawlers, and remake the drones. Even if your injects suck, you will have waaaayyyy too many larvae to spend any other way.

[image loading]

Eventually, even the haters will come around:

Replays (More to be added ASAP, but for now just the one from which these pics were taken):

You will notice that I had the highest APM of anyone in this game. MASS QUEENS VERY HIGH SKILL CEILING STRATEGY! <3 <3 <3

I was actually expecting this to be terrible and a waste of time, but the pictures make it pretty hilarious lol. The only sad thing is you don't even have gas to upgrade your queens.

Brilliance at its finest. Switching to zerg for this strategy alone.

Pretty viable strat when you have another zerg with you; you get gas as well, use gas for carapace upgrades and spend all your money on spines/spores/queens while dumping gas onto your other zerg buddy (they go mass muta or something).

This is actually hilarious. I'm no mass queen expert, but I feel like it would be worthwhile to have one gas just for upgrades and getting lair/hive for more upgrades.

This build alone got me from rank 10 bronze to rank 1 GM in only a week of 1v1s. Must use build! Especially effective with mid game proxy hatcheries.

Thank you O Wise One. I have seen the error of my ways. Queen upgrades and overlord creep spew are indeed overrated.
This will now be my go-to build when I random zerg in monos

Amazing. But I think I'd get gas eventually to 1) dump to my teammates and 2) get 3/3 Queens for the lolz.

with that many queens, theres a massive creep tumor highway, spine crawlers push along with it as if they are tanks and profit ensures.
Orange and green did all the winning in that first game btw

I used this strat tonight to great effect! Managed to kill 2 PF's (lol) before losing all my queens to several colossi. I did cheat and use gas for ups and feeding my allies though.

Queens are the best trolling strategy ever. The amount of games where I just built a ton of queens and nydusworm+creeped up their main for giggles is amazing.

Don't pay attention to early game bm.. it's a result of last game. :D

Edit: I used gas for upgrades and researched ling speed in the end, but I never actually used lings.
Micro could have been better as well.

I think you should discuss mass queens in your next epic guide. All the other ones I've read so far have been really helpful :D
