Hello all!

Recently I've been really taken with the idea of creating my own building triggers using Day[9]'s systematic approach.

Trigger, If he goes 1gate-sair into expo.

I decided that I wanted to use hydralisks with +1 attack and speed. I also decided that I wanted the game to go on as long as possible because of the amount of macro protosses loses by not going FE. I also decided that went it comes time to take his third and forth that my hive should already be done along with drop.

The evolution of a building trigger in 4 games.

Building Trigger Game 1

+ Show Spoiler +
So using seans advice I decided on four things I wanted at the exact same time , +1attack-speed-range-overlord speed




Game 2
+ Show Spoiler +
This game I decided that instead of two dens I would get a faster spire for scourge along with drop so that when protoss feels the need to move out and attack my 3rd and forth I would have lurker/scourge defending while I dropped his main


game 3

Game 4
+ Show Spoiler +
This is the finished product of my building trigger at the C level of iccup. Complete domination begining to end knowing everyone of his moves and all the while layin a solid foundation for good upgrades/drop/ultra/ling and of course 8 hats


Day[9]s Insightfull pod casts are a must for any avid broodwar fan OR player!

Whenever I encounter some little hitch, or some of my orbs get out of orbit, nothing pleases me so much as to make the crooked straight and crush down uneven places. www.day9.tv

That's pretty awesome that you formulated this in 4 games. I feel like I always play sort of on the fly.

I really loved Day's thread also.

I'm sure each of us has built at least a simple trigger many times in his starcraft career, but noone really realized the true potential of this idea.

Adds a nice scientific touch to starcraft, and is just as cute as it's useful.

Props to Day!

Oh wow, I remember listening to the first recording you did, and then apparently I lost them. I have some catching up to do.

My goal in doing triggers on my own is to explore the delicate timings of upgrades-drone saturation-macro(population) in relation to set possiblities.

I think the most important thing I learned from this is that +1 attack needs to be about 17-22% done in order to coincide with hydra grades and that it must be started at 35% of a lair timing in order to arrive when speed does.

I think those types of spatial reasonings make playing standard 5hat zerg eco easier, although I noticed for me to be precise with my timings and such that I had to move much much slower then I'm accustomed to in order to avoid build mistakes.

On another note I do not listen to music or broodwar music and I play the volume on low, so while I'm testing these things I actually listen to days audios.

ZvT playing "How to win with an advantage" in your ears has won me at least 4-5 games straight out.

Sean thank you so much, I always knew are approach to the game was different (back in 2002-03) but I didn't realize how clearly you knew how to formulate your insane builds.

I still remember your crazy 2 hat lurker - lin - 3 hat muta - take third - hive-gaurdian/hydra/lurker/scourge/ling strats from the lost temple days =). Or when you set out to have 300 apm =). <3 right back at ya!
