EPTIn general, wouldn't queens be always perfect companions to mass hydra? They esnare queens , reavers (shuttles), sairs (on sair+DT) and marines, and broodling tanks and HT.

Your main and nat can power enough hydras to break out and contain the terran, at which point you drop hats in expo spots and get your lair. With enough hydras, you can hold quite a bit of m/m/tanks provided you can flank well, especially if you try not to engage until your upgrades are done. Look, if you can power 3 hat hydralurk off of 2 expos, you can power 3 hat hydras with upgrades. From there you expand and play lategame zerg. Total gas for lurks - 100 gas for lair + 200 gas for lurk upgrade + 125 gas for each lurk. Total gas for hydra - 250 gas for hydra upgrades, 250 gas for evo chamber upgrades, 25 for each hydra. Total gas is LESS than lurks, you can actually make 5 hydras for every 1 lurk. | ||

This has been something I've been trying and it does work but you seriously need lurkers first in my opinion. You can begin to mass queens and going for hydras instead of lurkers but in early-mid. game you will just get pulverized. This however can be assisted by 3 hatch burrow/speed ling flanks to get to your queen point assuming he does a regular 2 rax to tank build. | ||

you need your barrack at 10. It's for protection versus a lingrush and for having a marine that much faster to kill a drone, overlord or w/e. But mostly it's protection versus fast pool. Also if you find a pool being a little late then 10rax can be enough for a bunkerush but 11 no way | ||

The 'slight(?)' economic advantage versus a potential loss if he 9 pools and is close. Plus it lets you go offensive early game imo. Someone explain. | ||

FE into 4-5 rax and 2 fac tanks destroys it, and this is also one of the reasons zerg users play ling/lurker based strats nowadays. Did u even watch the replay? He didn't START OUT with MASS hydras....he first went guardians then into mass hydras....I thought I had a pretty good counter by having 2 control groups of marines and tanks and about 4-5 vesselz..but I guess not..plz first watch teh replay b4 replying cuz only two ppl in this thread answered my question and even bothered to watch the replay and they told me I needed upgrades. Is that ALL that I needed to improve on or do or is there anything else? Any advice on what I did wrong(after watching my replay)is much appreciated. ty | ||
