i know it exists. im saying no one uses the build. i found it unlikely that he was asking for a response for a build that he probably will never face

In ZvT, how do I beat a terran who rushes SV? The move out with m&m and irrads are killer!

First things first:
If you practice "your own game" more (macro, clean build-order execution), you can blow such a guy away with sheer numbers of anything. He gets vessels kinda fast, yes, and vessels are the perfect counter to mutas, but he has only one group of M&M with two vessels as his first "push"... He doesn't have a real build order. Pure mass lings could have whiped his first push.

But you did kinda well macro-wise (relative to him), you could've beaten him with what you have. But keep in mind that, long term, once you meet better players, your macro will have to be even smoother.

Short term:
He is kind of turtling with lots of turrets, so even though your mutas might have been 1 minute faster or so, you wouldn't want to get too aggressive with those. If you see a Terran just sitting at home behind 10 turrets, just take peeks, see what you can get and keep macroing. (This you kinda did, but...)

Now most importantly:
You lose this game because you get surprised by his push to your 3rd, even though this is what Terrans do in 9 out of 10 TvZs. You're sleeping and don't have your army where it should be.

When he moves out at 8.30 with 2 vessels and ONE (!) group of M&M, you have everything that you need to defend this. You just need to do it right:
You should have some lurkers at your 3rd, guarding the ramp. This should always be your number one priority as soon as your hydras pop, get 2-3 over there.
You should have your muta-ling hotkeyed and out on the map, use those to stall his push (you kinda did, with your mutas alone though) and bring those to help the lurkers defend, should he dare to attack up the ramp.
Use some pairs of scourge to try to snipe his vessels. Keep doing this even if it fails at the first attempt.
Expect him to snipe the lurkers (here: with irradiate), and prepare for it by morphing a few additional lurkers at your 3rd.
Should he go for your natural instead, same game right there: A few lurkers and sunkens, bring the rest of your army to back-stab him, should he engage.
Meanwhile you keep macroing lurkers and lings, and try to backstab his reinforcements should he send them out unthoughtfully. You could have had MASS lurker-ling to deal with his 2nd push, more than he can irradiate.

During all this: Tech to defilers, the faster the better (if you can afford it). Get swarm, learn to use swarm to defend indefinitely.

Maybe not the right place but I try anyways

Anyone have any tips on how to avoid lag? I have 100/100 mbit internet but I lag every match so I think the problem should be from my side. Back in the days you had to open ports but now it should be ok? I am from europe if it matters. I am using the cable and don't have any firewall that I am aware of

How come if I order a control group of mutas to move, sometimes nearby mutas will also follow the control group of mutas without being told to do so?
