Over the course of one year I will edit this page various times to give you guys some tips and tricks that i have discovered during my journey!

Tips and Tricks

- When going mutalisk's in ZvZ, get carapace first and then start pumping mutas.

- When going mutalisks in ZvZ, invest in more zerglings, to deny your opponents 3rd and 4th

- If a Terran doesn't drop or harass, you win the game automatically if you don't make macro mistakes such as overlord blocking yourself!

- Always sacrifice an overlord at 6:30 against protoss, if you see 7 gate with twilight council, it's 7 gate blink all-in, if you see a robotics facility and a chronoboosted forge, it's a sentry immortal all-in

- Terrans fear creep spread! Spread more creep!

- When denying bases, spew creep from overlords while burrowing 1 zergling

- In ZvZ, when the opponent doesn't have a baneling nest, play defensively

- Using camera hotkeys (F1, F2. F3 and F4) will help your map awareness and quickness in general

- You can neural parasite enemy workers to make their race's structures

- In ZvT, always do the six queen opening!


We can all post replies! we learn together!

You should really only do this if your opponent is also going mutas. If you're going mutas against roach/infestor or roach/hydra you should only be making a small handful of mutas and then transitioning into roach/infestor yourself.

Very random collection, but this made me smile. Primarily because it made me think about the time i discovered the possibilities of doing this in BroodWar with Dark Archons (which works a lot better, by the way). This, however, was a long long long time ago.

There are a lot of misinformation here, I would suggest learning the game more before posting something like this.

1. Someone already mentioned it, but depending on your opponent, getting upgrades for muta is not always the best course of action.

2. Also not applicable depending on opponents choice, such as a standard roach infestor vs muta.

3. lol wat

4. 6:30 can be a bit too premature to see the branching of certain builds.

7. what?

8. Not default keys, also while I do recommend them myself, there are more than 1 way to manage your game.

10. no
