Those replays are insane!! In several games I just could not believe what I was seeing. Especially that 2 gate one was so freaking impossible I watched the whole game with my jaw dropped...

I realized that the primary flaws in my game are 1. the lack of scourge use, 2. passive game play, and 3. Too greedy with drones. The way you deny protoss from taking their third with lurker/scourge was very instructive, I never knew lurkers can be so badass

P.S. I'm like 2-5 against nrg.bamboo, you just showed me how to pwn him. 5 hatch hydra gogogo!

Aiur is dead, we're abandoned. We shrink into shakurus and abides its secretive ways, there is no definitive ways to win, zerg will always overpower, we must improvise and stay strong...
poor toss, we get no love ~~

You guys (Terran/Toss) have like 80% of the current pro gaming; not to mention terran legends like boxer nada , oov, flash, protoss monsters Kingdom Nal_rA ZeuS ForU and mantoss reach
what do zerg players have? the only one who's in the top 10 kespa ranking is jaedong, <3 ; but otherwise we have the awesome maestro savior (who's slumping as of recently) ; chojja's no where in sight; and julyzerg~ ; however murphy's law gets to be a bitch, and even though FINALLY he qualifies ; he is then, paired with jaedong and annihilated

I'm going to have to print this out and read it while commuting or something. Someone should format this, add screenshots, and make a printable PDF. That would rock. If anyone is willing to take the lead on this, I'd be sure willing to help.

can anyone make a pvz one?


It's full of PvZ guide ... the problem here is not the guide ... it's the MU.

Fucking hard ... funcking imba. My advise is read this guide and start playing ZvP instead of PvP, you can compensate your lose in PvZ with easy win vs P players (playing yourself Z).

If you want to stick in hardness, go the recomended tread in the strategy forum and you'll find what you are looking for.

Awesome guide, dude! Just have a couple of questions/comments regarding the replays and such. Firstly, is your two-hand micro a common thread among foreign pros or is it something specific to your style of play? Gosia's hotkey choice for his hatcheries wouldn't make much sense to me if he didn't use two hands... 1 2 3 4 are IMHO harder to reach when your fingers are placed on sz or sd than even 8 9 0. Secondly, in your replays you seem to press the hatchery hotkeys every 1-2 minutes and yet you still maintain your ressources near 0 (except in the very end when you seem to go "aw, fook it!". Does that mean that you still macro with your mouse? Ideally, would you only use the method your prescribed in your guide or would you also macro with your mouse?

Thanks a lot for your help. Us zerg newbies (larvaes, I guess) are getting spoiled with all the guides being released recently

I don't know how common the two hand macro is. It's just something I came up with myself after 3000 games or something. I have no idea how common it is. but basically, It's more important that all your troops are at hand at all times, so it makes the most sense to place them 1,2,3,4 etc. Thus it leaves hatcheries to 0,9,8,7,6,5 etc.

How often I press my hotkeys totally depends of the situation, but as long as my hatcheries are only BARELY able to produce 3 larva, I'm fine since they store up (thats why this method is the best for zerg) That's why I might take 1-2 minutes to do it sometimes.

In the end game I might start to have so many units that they overlap with my hatchery hotkeys, or I have so many hatcheries that they cannot be hotkeyed anymore, in which case I use mouse to macro.

I might also use my mouse to macro if I have a lot of hatcheries on the same screen. Sorta depends.

very nice reference page for zerg players
If practice makes perfect and no ones perfect, why practice in the first place?

What should zerg do against a terran that fe's, then gets an extremely fast +1attack, like the terran delays the academy just a bit to get it up. The upgrade is finished right when my mutalisks get there, and I cant keep him in his base for too long, so I have trouble saving my expansions. Is it my mutalisks that are late, or should I play differently?
