The luna game is really really good, shows transition into ultra. This terran went pure m&M and tank. I have a sweet flank, he takes my bait and leaves all of his tanks undefended. I run in when he is distracted and snipe a few. On the other hand- i kept on forgetting to build queens  it would have made my life so much easier The scond game (on python) is just a joke I reap this kid with Cocaine- and then fool with him. Watch for a joke i guess Luna Game- http://www.mediafire.com/?zzzhylymwyz Joke game- http://www.mediafire.com/?wkjd5l4mjzy | ||

The terran played decently, but wasn't terribly aggressive in the early game. With pure monstrous macro and good flanks (taking full advantage of the mobility hydras grant), he was able to take the game. He didn't even starve the terran... I haven't been keeping up on this thread in very much detail, but it sounds like an interesting idea to me. | ||

Jaedong went pure hydra and the Terran played very stupid, often separating his tanks from the main army. | ||

Yeah, he didn't keep his ball together...but from the other perspective, let's just say that Jaedong attacked at all the right times, and executed flanks perfectly.  | ||

Not using queens properly. There are too few queens and ensnare is never cast properly. You engage the ball with your main army and then try to cast ensnare. This basically causes half of your army to die in vain and even when using ensnare you usually only manage to hit a small part of the army. The optimal way of casting ensnare is using parasite and then cloning the queens to hit as much as possible. What makes this hard is that the Terran ball is always moving! Queens are not as easy to use as it seems and they actually require a lot of skilled micro. Bad opponents The Terrans you play with all have 1000 minerals at the 10 minute mark. Even then you are struggling with the Terran army. I think that when you meet a Terran with better macro you will get steamrolled no questions asked. Anyway, the flanking is good enough which causes the Terrans to die. You just need to find more APM to do the ensnaring properly as well as find better opponents to play with. | ||

Some mistakes i think i made are: 1 - my second evo is late, so my melee upgrades are late too. 2- I have a very bad scout, i missed that dropship that just pass through my ovi.But as i said i could use broodling on the medic in order to deal with it. 3- My micro is very poor and i should have start making defilers sooner in order to attack him, i could have also expand 1 more time.

Perhaps you are right. This may not work against competent opponents- but i am going to try it out for a few more days at least. Thanks everyone for spending the time to watch the reps, and post some replies. I guess that i had gotten a bit optimistic with this strat lol  if anyone still cares, i plan on posting a few more reps, but whatever. | ||

I just think if the terran would have use better his economy would have won without any effort, you allow him to expand at 9 o'clock also, i would use this strat to make a "contain", if he tries to get out you flank him and punish him because he doesnt have enough tanks, when he has enough tank with only 2 expos, you already have ultras, if not span ensare and broodling to buy time for ultras to come. I will post some reps if i can manage to play as i want. agree in order to make your style work u need more expos, the min only was good b/c allowed for more hatch and therefore more units | ||

But you really dident use the queens for anything. you got one ensnare off that dident do anything, and thats it. If you had used the gas for defilers or just more units instead your win would have been better. But besides that the queenplay, which i had ekspected to be central, the hydraling play was nice and would have been more effective if you hadnt made any queens. That said i think this queen build is less effektive than other builds, you might win with it, but you would have won with other builds aswell. | ||
