I'm sorry to post this but I'm getting back into Starcraft recently and the game has change DRASTICALLY since I played on BNET back in 2003. Anyone care to explain what in the fuck is a Neo-Sauron Zerg? Lol I have no clue what that means.

"(9 pool, 6 ling, front hatch, 3rd base hatch, gas, lair, lingspeed, spire/scourge, +2 hatch - Den+Chamber. )"

That also doesn't really help me either unfortunately.

The Zerg gets three hatcheries and makes a lair and then spire, but the spire is only to negate the Protoss corsairs. The actual goal is to make five hatcheries on three bases and mass hydralisk with +1 missile, then taking their third gas to afford mutalisk which will snipe off the Protoss' HT, making the hydralisk even more effective.

It's pretty much the most common used ZvP build order on iCCup I'd say, with most Protoss' using this build.

I thought sauron zerg was most commonly defined as macro whore style ? Like getting as many hatches you can afford based on X bases ? Expanding everywhere, making more and more units and just 1a2a3a4a5a the **** out of everyone ?

Neo-Sauron doesn't equal Sauron Zerg.

Until su.ae messed up with the defiler at the very end, otherwise he would of had that.

Corsair Timing -
Hungry 4:20
Regular 4:55


This has to be a typo yes? Cause I'm wondering how this is possible.

Some timings from the much replay posted above:

2nd Nexus done: 3:37
Core done: 4:20
SG start: 4:34
SG done / Sair start: 5:20
Sair out: 5:47

This is with more of a hungry style build, with photon cannons after nexus. Here is the BO:

Yup, got my sair out at 5:47 too. There's no way to get it out faster except maybe cutting probes for the first nexus/gate. I got the exact same results as DemonCowgirl by starting gate as soon as i had 150 minerals after nexus, core as soon as gate is done, stargate as soon as core is done, etc., except he didn't get 2nd assimilator I think. This with forge-cannon-cannon-nex-gate.

It's mentioned in the thread it's Stargate timing.

I haven't read through all the posts yet so please forgive me if this has already been mentioned.
Goons can work pretty well with a dark archon sniping defilers when the Z manages to get to hive. Goons do become a lot less useful once defilers get plague though. Not really worth the gas at that point imo.

My starcraft or Bwchart cannot open the replays on that website (http://pgr21.com/zboard4/zboard.php?id=daku&no=1668). Is there a way to fix this?
Look at the bright side; There is no bright side, therefore you have one less side to worry about.

About the corsair timing, the original post actually says "core completion time" not "corsair timing". Based on my tests 4:55 is about right for the core completion using the regular build and the corsair will be ready around 5:55-6:00.

if a corsair was out before 5 minutes in a fe build, even 2 hat -> scourge would be too slow to prevent it from killing an overlord or 2

bump..but a serious question
I saw my zerg opponent going for a 12 hatch
So i skipped forge and placed my nat nexus/gate and then forge/cannon
This sped up my core timing as well as my overall tech timing
Could you also incorporate timings as well as other variations when this happens
(gate before forge?)
