That weekend is still the only time I\'ve been to http://www.discgolfpark.com/english/indexE.htm (Europe\'s only professional discgolf course), I had a great time watching all you guys on LAN too, even though the big screen mostly showed Trek winning every freaking game vs other Swedes ^^

I still remember you vs Slayer, he with his intense (although a bit rusty) style/speed and you playing like you are on vacation or something, hiding scourge as calmly as if it was sim city, Your warmup spam was selecting a mineral patch or two and smiling, who can beat such cheating tactics! I've been to many many tournaments in different sports and that attitude you have is not quite the norm...

Those games were great btw, and still are I guess for those with earlier versions of bw available, but I don't remember any queens^^ <- pathethic attempt to stay on thread.

In addition those are probably the last 2 official Slayer games except the Stinger vs him cheese in the LB bo1 final.

Anyways grudge match soon! I've noticed your form slipping

Sorry OP for this highjacking nonsense ^^

Okay. So, this is seriously like the 12th topic with this EXACT title. I'm exaggerating a little bit, but no, really, you know what I'm talking about.

Do you know why you don't see queens used in games?

BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TOO BUSY POSTING ABOUT HOW VIABLE THEY ARE TO ACTUALLY USE THEM. GET OUT THERE AND TRY IT.

Eriador , Would be very nice if u could make a rep pack of your queen using games , to show people that it is very viable , I would be very interessed since i use queens almost every not important game zxt or zxp ( im always afraid to use it on tourneys or Cws )

Well I've read both threads in the "Recommended Threads" thread, and I found them useful. My Zerg sucks too much cock to actually be at the level where I could integrate queens into my play. I'd be willing to bet that my Zerg is worse than D level on PGT. Probably worse than c6 when WGT was still around. The old one.

Man no one has thought of using broodling on a worker that is mining gas...If you somehow managed to have the extra eco and they don't notice it was a gas miner straight away...2 minutes later they'll start wondering why they can't pump their 2fact1port or 2port1fact... I got that idea since sometimes zvz i intend to leave 2 drones on gas for like 30 seconds, then forget to put one. I notice about 7 minutes later when i'm losing the air battles. Also when ever i did bother getting queens they ended up sitting around doing crap for like 5 minutes, then i'd parasite something, or waste an ensnare, then they'd die. Yes i sucked even worse then.

Also that CC infest thing is powerful. Ages ago it won be agame on S ignal, we both had most of our army in the mid in a half-stalemate. Lurkers got the best of his CC, down to about 600 then the queen stole it...Tanks were just out of range...
Testie has a point with the 20 mutas....If he tries to attack you, he losses his expo or his main. Mabye even both his CCs. He'd need a good 15 stimmed marines, 4 turrets, and a bunker to fend off 20 mtuas with snare...

Man this thread has made me want to learn to use queens...again...

lol
if you broodling one of his workers mining gas he'll notice he's under attack because the broodlings will instantly attack the scvs around it
and then if he's good he will notice and adjust. =[
and besides in tvz if you're mining with 1 scv less on gas in 1 exp it will rarely be gamedeciding
and zvp you cant broodling workers
and zvz you sure as hell cant spend gas on queen+broodling upgrade :p

and why do you think I am testie

lol liquid drone pwned. yeah that worker broodling thing is worthless. And yeah probes can't be broodling'd. I tried using queens but what became the most useful for me was parasite.

What about if we manage to not instantly attack the scv and gets them everywhere else ? Would the player still get the sign that he's under attack ?

It'd be a good surprise though. Just to piss him off hehe.

im actually not sure if the broodling spell itself tells him he's under attack. I suspect not, as for example dts killing units with 1 strike doesnt give a message either. HOWEVER.
the odds of him 1: not having enough turrets/marines/bunkers to kill your queen near his cc (usually terrans do), 2 : not noticing the queen on the minimap, 3: you not managing to remove the broodlings before they attack (broodlings attack pretty much instantly after the spell is cast) and 4: him not noticing anyway is pretty small
hence you risk 1 queen and some time on the very tiny chance of you being able to broodling 1 scv mining gas without him noticing
and that's not really a significant setback to him in any way after you have queens. just broodling a siegetank instead, it'll certainly cost him more.

what is utopic about that. its just a fact. there was a fairly recent thread where some guy asked about the viability of mutas + lings with ensnare with quick grades against m and m. That's an idea, I've tried it a lot of times, and brings some interesting results against m and m that are expo raiding before vessels arrive.
