for 2.5 hatch 14 pool is a typo right?


Nope. Since you only do the build if you scout your opponent early you already know he isn't doing 8 rax or something so your pool timing doesn't really matter. Everything other than my rep gets their pool between 11 and 13 supply and then makes drones afterwards, but I don't think it matters at all unless you are afraid of an scv rush.

Thanks for the guide, will try some of these soon!

Yeah, same here. It looks like you put a lot of (Z)EffOrt into this guide. Thanks!
+ Show Spoiler +
But not exactly. I would have thought there might have been at least one VOD with (Z)EffOrt


Ya, unfortunately effort is one of the few progamers that still goes 3 hatch pretty much every game.

wtf there's nothing unfortunate about that

Good. For 2 hatch muta also you can make 10 lings and speed before lair and if the terran does a fast expand without bunker you can end the game there, otherwise you can run past up his ramp and attack his rax / scvs, forcing him to bring up scvs to attack and marines from the bunker which makes them vulnerable to getting picked off. Picking off some marines like this will strengthen your muta harrass later, and this is when marines are very easy to pick off ESPECIALLY since you have speed and a good number of lings. You'll also hang out around his rax to pick off any spawning rines. It usually does pretty well against 1 rax expanding terrans on iccup, but if you get too predictable with that they can defend it and it'll suck cuz you'll have a worse economy obviously than if you didn't make those lings..

just something I like to do
