Still a good opener for those needing a quick way to transition out of muta and get to hivetech and secure 3rd gas! | ||

Still a good opener for those needing a quick way to transition out of muta and get to hivetech and secure 3rd gas! it's rare actually to see terran doing this build, if he does though he doesn't have much units and in this case you should harass more by making 3 or 4 muta, i would also wall his natural with my lurker since he doesn't have much marines which will delay him when he wants to come out, this is how you have to buy time until you have swarm and guardians. | ||

I don't know what you mean by fantasy style builds, but if you mean mech, then obviously you have to adapt, but you can scout it in time and go 3 hatch instead, or whatever you want to do vs mech. | ||

However Pauline said he'd add more mutas and harass if he saw low unit count. Fantasy style builds being vults to vultdrop to valk to goliaths, but I guess if you scout a mech opening you'd have to adapt quite significantly. | ||

You don't really have to go defiler if you think that you won't make it in time, you can just make more drones with shitload of lurkers since you have an early third gas and just go for a macro game. The good thing with this build is that you can turn the game the way you want without suffering from late tech the only problem is that you are greedy and you should make sure not to die from little mistakes. All details are important. | ||

You could have it started before the hydra den is up and it wouldnt really delay the lurker upgrade because ur just reallocating resources. But maybe its a bad idea because u'll have too much larvae and not enough econ to spend it. Can i have your opinion on this? Thanks | ||

But maybe its a bad idea because u'll have too much larvae and not enough econ to spend it. Can i have your opinion on this? Thanks No don't do that, it's risky because normally Terran should go for early medic and will go out at around 5min, if you put your expand on top of a third hatch and you have to morph 3 sunk it will hurt your eco really bad and when your spire pops out you won't have enough mineral to make 6 mutalisks, terran will have a huge advantage and he will have time to deny your expand before lurkers. Sometimes the game might not go very well and you should not take your expand if you feel that you are late in your bo, in this case just put third hatch in your main and take expand when you have lurker. (also this situation is more difficult to handle but you still have all chances to win) Just go hive with the same timing. | ||

The only thing I didn't understand is: do you really need that early sunken? Marine SCV rush seems to be ineffective, especially since you send ling for scouting. So you will have time to put some sunkens and will save the hatch (there creep already, which means no place for bunker). Moreover in this exact game you already saw a CC, which means no gas, no early marines. You should also explain how your build works against terran playing mech from 1 and 2 bases and against terran playing bio from 1 base. So will be waiting for new videos! ^^ | ||

So will be waiting for new videos! ^^ Yes you need that creep colony, then morphing it is totally up to you, you are going for a greedy build therefore you should not give a chance to terran to hurt your eco or else the handicap will be too much. What if you see vulture and you can't make your sunk in time? What if just after you send back the drone after scouting him he takes 8 scv and rally point marines to your natural? Even if you send zergling it will be too late because you didn't put a sunk. Maybe it doesn't happen often on iccup but on fish as soon as they see an opening they will do it. And you should not be delayed in this build at any cost, this sunk will back you up if ever you forgot or didn't notice something, it's for pure safety It is true I can save mineral with those sunks, but I preferred to make a tutorial where you are faced to a situation that you can't do it, because build order that works only if you put not more than one sunk, I don't call that a solution at all Also good terran know that they have to find a way to put pressure on you before your muta when you are doing this build.If terran is going mech, honestly this is not good news but you can still play it in many ways, if i don't feel like going on a macro game i would put third hatch just after spire make my 8 muta put my den make some drone and my chamber evolv with +1 attack and then full hydra, if your timing is good there is a way to kill him right away before he has tank. (in this case you don't put 3 sunks of course). If you feel like macroing then expand as usual (a close third is recommended) but instead of going hive, put your third hatch mass drone and mass hydra. Usually I still do lurker because this way he can't really push you early with goliaths. Sometimes you can anticipate mech because terran will make a bunker while expanding, in this case you can just launch your speed ling upgrade then your lair, make few more drones and full ling him, works very often, don't try to kill the bunk, just run to his main. (Terran should not know about it so it's important that you get rid of his scv, usually his scv dies by scouting the natural because of your early sunk) trust me this early sunk is very useful | ||

Early sunken punish your economy, it should be made in the last possible moment, like when you see the medics with your scouting ling. You can do more damage if you want to make more muta but it delays your lurker and terran can more easily deny your third. It's ok to put sunk at the last moment, but at the first mistake it's gg. The point is to be able to secure third gas, not to be greedy, I guess it's fine to play like this when you are really good but when you start with that kind of strat it's better to play secure then play more greedy as your lvl increase, of course it's just my opinion. PLaying on the limits like that with a 2 hatch muta build i think at the end you lose more because of stupid mistake than a real standard game, like you needed one more sunk or terran has been sneaky and you didn't see his marines. I think it's stupid to lose this way, that's why i recommend a more defensive gameplay and as you improve it's up to you to adapt. This tutorial is for zerg beginners that want to get out of the standard 3 hatch muta build without especially going for an all in. | ||

this build has helped me win many games, weird because I always thought it was suicide (for nubs like me) compared to 3 hatch muta style. thanks for sharing this build. it is siiiick, my friends dont know what hit em. My only question is what would you do if you saw mass factories and goliaths. Would you make more mutas and harass? Or would you get the lurkers and contain, and stay in 2nd tier while getting mass drones and hydra upgrades? Or do you keep going for the defilers? I also find that this strat works best if you can deny that scv from scouting the spire, so instead of sunkens i get more lings. kinda slows me down but sometimes the terran really has no idea what is coming since he hasnt scanned me or scouted me. | ||

It is really up to you... You can play the way you want, if he is going for a fast expand with goliath i suggest you take a third make a maximum of drone and go hydra lurker with drop, if he is going for 3 facts in his main I suggest you put your third hatch and go for muta zergling with +1 carap for your lings. Everything works vs mech for as long as you have more units than him... | ||

Yup. I found out that those 8 mutas are easily enough to keep Terran in base and you get lurkers at 8 minutes mark anyways. | ||
