I remember only 2 games with parasite =) SPL Jaedong vs Fantasy on sin-blablabla-reyung(I can't even write that word xD) here there is OSL 2009 Bisu vs ZerO on heart break ridge when zero use broodlings to kiss high templars then parasite units here is the link It won't work because of highlighting parasite unit. Your opponent can just sent him on KAMIKAZE scout or on main. Secondly, it needs additional APM to control it. I tried to use ensnare on marine in late game. It's really hard!!! because I have to control defiler's consume, dark swarm and plague, lurkers, hatch production, minimap and... oh shit.. queens! | ||

He will build like 3 max hatcheries and only have like 15 drones so that his income is just perfect to allow him to consistently build units and at the same time his money stays low so he feels like he is macroing properly. How does he increase his income while balancing that with building an army? All I can tell him is to "feel it out." I would like a more definite answer. If u play any defensive macro build, your general goal should be to get the maximum economy and just enough units to survive his incoming attack. at first your build order should tell u when to make drones/units, after that, the easiest way would be to have 1 hatch making drones and rest making units. if u play an all in, u need a specific amount of drones to just have enough eco to support your all in so u can get the maximum amount of units at the desired all in time. (but its not 5 drones per hatch....) there are some situations, where "max eco-just enough units", may not be the best solution, but thats rather high level stuff i dont want to discuss xD | ||

The first game is brutal, queen parasiting science vessel is like revenge for irradiations. And fantasy gg timing  I was just wondering because of + Show Spoiler + TLS finals, Julia vs Terror on Outsider. Julia had already queens (or a queen) and was using them nicely. There are some neutral critters on ridges there -- parasite would work on them normally and the Terran wouldn't know of them, right? :D The second game is great too. | ||

If he click on some neutral critters and will see that this critters is parasite, then and only then it will not work xD P.S. I don't think that Julia used his queens nicely or something like that. He make queen just for humiliating. He do not use queens for further advantage(like using ensnare). I think he didn't do that just because of lags. Lags sucks =D | ||

-1 hatch pumping hydras u need 5 mineral drones and 1 gas drone -1 hatch pumping lings/drones u need 3.5 mineral drones -1 hatch pumping mutas(based on 1 gas) u need 5 mineral drones and 3 gas drones or better said 5.5 mineral drones since u want spend all larvas -1 hatch pumping scourges (in zvz) u need 2 mineral drones and 3 gas drones -1 hatch pumping hydras that will morph into lurker u need 8 mineral drones and 5 gas drones(this is very handy in zvt where u make hydras just from 1 hatch and from rest u make just lings or drones and in this way u cant overmakes hydras if u go for lurker/ling strategy) THis is not very hard to calculate since from my observation a drone(1 drone/1 patch) will mine on average on fastest ~72 mineral per minute and 100 gas per minute,and also 1 hatch will spawn 4 larvas per minute,once in14 seconds. | ||

Basically if you see no fast expand and no early units then he's either got proxy something or some fast tech. | ||
