Yeah this is like a multi-day read/absorb thing.

Thanx a lot. I need to teach the protoss to fear zerg.

9 Pool
pros: May catch opponent off guard, forces him to make more and faster defense, you have defense for any kind of rush, pretty much.
cons: not too great early economy (not THAT bad either, but still)
(Another variation of this build would be to keep the extractor and make zergling speed early on, making it even more powerful of a rush, or if it fails, you can use zergling speed to stop any scouting units with ease. However, this takes a lot more money, and it might not be quite as good in some cases for that reason)
9/9 drones
9/9 spawning pool
9/9 drones
9/9 overlord
10/9 extractor trick (take a drone, morph it to extractor, build another drone, and then cancel the extractor and you have 10/9 drones
13/17 zerglings

Doing the extractor trick before overlord gives faster drone and overlord in time for 6 lings. Good guide.

There was many spread out guides made by lammas on sc.org, but i think those are all outdated too...

Unlike the ZvP guide (though it was great), do you know how many words this has? ITS OVER NINE THOUSAND!! (~16k, wow!)

Anyways, I am going to keep this and use it all the time. I am probably going to read this quite a few times before I am done with it. Great guide!

<3, Ahzz. Good job working to give back to the community. This is quite a bit of reading material, indeed ^_^.

Wow. Twenty years from now, when I'll have finished reading your guide, I'll be a much better player.
Thank you so much!

Dear God child! Nice guide! I hope/ expect this to be joining recommended threads...

also, aren't you affiliated with sc2gg and weren't you in SC101? or am I just going insane.
seriously next disrespectful comment in this blog is ip ban. Be happy or get the hell out. // SC2 is like playing with neutral-colored Play-Doh while BW is like colorful Legos.

Yes, it's great that this guide goes in-depth on all three matchups, especially the tips section is very nice imo :D The best part of it was that Ahzz had been working on this guide for like, a year, and he only got about 20% done, and he finished the last 80% in two days! Amazing don't you think XD Btw, my guide has 11,000 words o.o

Really? I vaguely remember this:

Sadly I was unable to reach OVER NINE THOUSAND words, but close enough. I showed this to my friends before this submission and they felt it was very funny in many ways, and at least if you think the guide sucks it will give you some entertainment


I guess more was added? I don't even care about amount of words though, both are going to be on my desk (top) for the next few months no doubt.

P.S. Nice procrastination Ahzz! That is the path to success, wewt.

Some reference replays added. Not the best or anything, but they should at least show the vague idea

sweet! Thanks for you time!
I'll check back here whenever in doubt!

Maybe make a PDF of it in word/latex/similar with proper section titles etc? Would make it easier to read. And print.

Awesome..................truly awesome. Really overwhelming though XD If you could, would you mind adding pics or something? Bleh, I feel like an ass asking for them. Maybe I should just read this in sections rather than one shot lol.
