PvZ on small map like Blue Storm, or Destination:
Open with sair-river with getting 2 rivers before shuttle, then get a third and forth defending with rivers and zeals/goons.
The goal is to split the map and defend well until zerg runs out of resources.

But, crazy zerg basically accomplishes everything you mention, firebat sniping with mutas, mass lings with fast ups, except it gets muta out much sooner (and thus in a better position to actually do some damage and secure some map control to setup good flanks and secure a 3rd base/gas), and just overall seems a lot less all-in and at the same time more viable.

But a normal sair/reaver -> ground opening accomplishes this while initiating harass a lot sooner which forces zerg to focus on defending which is what enables to p to expo so relatively easily. Reaver with some zlots and goons are no problem to attack/kill for zerg with hydralisks, especially with some lings to waste the initial scarabs. Also, reaver/sair is less viable in general on small maps like that where z can so easily defend and block sair/shuttle movement. Bluestorm in general gets split evenly in almost every zvp through standard ground-play as is.

ZvZ idea

I am interested in Ling - Scourge - Spore combination.

Since almost everyone will go muta, you go heavy scourge (cheaper) to eliminate or force mutas to run. Scourges are cheap, you can also kill overlords to mess up supply and delay the other zerg. The idea of the build is to harrass him with scourge until you have enough lings to overrun him. The goal is to run into base and kill the drones, assassin like style.
Building scourge will mean that you have extra minerals to spend for zerglings.

Make 2 spores to protect mineral lines. Queen comes to mind if the game is long enough: slow group of mutas and: - secondary: try to kill them with scourge - primary: use the time when they are slowed to kill the drones in his base with zerglings. Then you can build mutas yourself or finish him off with scourge/zergling combination.

Since you need to get Evo Chamber earlier, +1 melee might be doable. At least 2 hatcheries are needed to produce enough units.

Worth a try I think.


Didn't Yarnc actually do something like this v type-b?w


I didn't see that game. I found this series Yarnc v type-b:

Maybe its the second game, but its short version.

Two of my favorite things to do in bw:

ZvT: Drop 3-4 defilers in T base and plague all of his clustered supplies.

TvZ: Versus expanding, small army (lurker) Z: Research stim -> optical flare -> range and move out with m&m. Find, scan and blind lurkers to limit their effectiveness. Cool for run-by or surround tactics

As far as I've seen the standard sair-reaver get's the third quite late. I think if you get two reavers, slow shuttle and secure the third with one reaver and some ground army, while the rest defends the natural you should be safe. In the standard sair-reaver, you go speed shuttle, start harrasing and get the third much later.

Actually something similar I've seen Stork doing in his game vs Zero. The game from here

doesn't look to me like standard sair-reaver.

The game from here is rather standard sair-reaver to me.

And the third is quite late comparte to the first game.

My idea is to get an easy and safe strategy for low level pvz.

Would like to see that too. Imagine it to work well with pure Zeal/DT ground army (since overlords get squished quickly) and to transition well into carriers.

Also allows drone killing from air.

The two question marks (apart from the build time) are how well scouts defend against scourge and how hydras are handled.

If you can find someone else like-minded, for 2v2, on a 4 player map

Pure cheese 8-worker rush. Have no econ at all, have you and your teamie rushing to one of the two enemy mains, so that you have 8 workers attacking 4 or whatever. Then repeat against his teamie (or not, depending on whether he's actually managed to build actual real units by this time)..
