I was under the impression pure ling would totally own it. I totally outmacroed the guy and waited for cracklings. Got 3 kills and he like 130. WTF Thanks for the advice. BTW my 9 muta couldn't do anything since he made like 8 spores. I mean, the guy didn't even hotkey. I bet he missed 3 ovies also. As a protoss player I knew ZvZ was stupid. But what the hell was that? [edit] Never mind, he mineral hacked like crazy... But still... | ||

He likely is getting carapace upgrades and especially in larger numbers, lings die quite quickly to hydras. What are you doing with your gas anyway? The mutas are there as the meat shields while the zerglings do the damage. This is such an important and basic aspect of using muta/ling and i'm surprised by how many people are careless about it. You ALWAYS send the mutas before the lings: against hydras, m&m, goliaths, goons. Sending the zerglings first results in the lings all dying and the mutas fighting alone. | ||

Pure Zergling armies get shredded by Hydralisks; as Lxrogue says, you need the Mutalisks to take the hits. Don't forget to upgrade attack/carapace as well, attack is ideal on your Zerglings while carapace is recommended on your Mutalisks. Hydralisk users already have the evolution chamber due to their spore colonies, so they tend to have fast 1/1 upgrades; you can't let them get to 2/1 or 2/2 without upgrading yourself or you're fucked. | ||

but even still, the mutalisks might have won the game already because they are great for map control. | ||

He stopped the mutaharass with some Spore went one base 2hatch hydra I believe and had a big enough hydraball to kill the expo before the expo could pay of. He killed the mutalingarmy with hydra only. I don't know if his site still exists. He wrote his own strategy guide. The timming of the attack is critical. One geyser is enough. I think Tsunami wrote a really long analysis on Hydra/Queen against Mutaling. It was pretty convincing, but this was back in 1.08 and strategies have certainly evolved since then. He had some example replays as well, but I don't know if they're still available somewhere. EDIT: Hahaha, his guide is still up. Really nostalgic. http://www.geocities.com/brattsunami/ You can still access his strategy articles on the left hand sidebar. Haven't checked if the replays still work, though. | ||

How does plauge compare to ensnare? Queens are alot more mobile and easy to use (vs mutas) than defilers but I'm still not sure. | ||
