Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5

I can officially announce that I'm the zerg macro master and this is the last part before the placement matches. Low speed muta harass is just not as fun as the first time. And i don't even find a chance to use my mass ling-baneling either. So, this is the last part.

Part 6 - Real Test Approaches

Overmind, speaking with Lobo's educator, Infrawhite, about the real test:

Overmind: Do you think Lobo is prepared for the real test, cerebrate?
Infrawhite: Just a little more, my master. Let me send him to Aiur, to help the invasion. If he finishes his quest with success, this means that he's ready for the real test, master.
Overmind: Perfect, cerebrate. Send him with just 7 drones and 300 minerals to Aiur. Let's see what he can do against an executor. Cerebrate, tell him to start his preparations already.
Infrawhite: Yes, Master.

After that, Lobo goes to his master to report his progress and take instructions:

Lobo: Master, I practice a lot with mutas and ling-banelings. I think I got some progress.
Infrawhite: Nice, young one. I have a quest for you. Take 7 drones and 300 minerals to Aiur and help the invasion.
Lobo: Yes, master. But just one question before I take off: Do you think that I can achieve this quest?
Infrawhite: Of course, young one.
Lobo: Yes, master. I'll be prepared in 30 minutes and ready to take off after that.

He prepared himself, took the necessary drones and minerals, an overlord with him and 7 drones, and took off to Aiur.

Even on the battlefield, Lobo first thinks of being ahead on economy. So, he started with hatch-first and took his 3rd base as soon as he could.

[image loading]

After getting on 3 bases, he teched to Lair and put a spire and then he produced his vicious mutalisks.

Then he carefully eco-bashed the executor.

After being so ahead in terms of economy, the only thing he needed to do is to engage the protoss army and win the battle. As long as he takes down those void rays, even if he lost the engagement, he would win the battle because he had lots of ling-baneling staying back, and he's too far ahead in terms of economy.

[image loading]

But he won the battle with losing only 3 mutalisks, and this sealed Lobo's last victory before the real test.

Replay

After Overmind has known about the battle results:

Overmind: Well done, young Lobo. He showed that he's ready.
Infrawhite: Yes, master. I'm sure that he can pass the real test as well.
Overmind: If he passes the real test, he becomes a cerebrate like you.
Infrawhite: I hope so, master.

Void Rays actually "Ray"pe mutas in similar numbers, but I can't see 4 void rays with 2 stalkers do much damage to 32 mutas before they go bye bye.

Any air unit that has the ability to attack air units rape mutas in even numbers. Banshees, phoenixes, void rays, all of them. But, you can't pump 32 of them at an instant, especially if you're eco-bashed that hard. That's why mass muta is so good.
