I double checked the vods, Yellow did an overpool, fakeyellow did a 12 hatch. So as of yet there is no reason to say conclusively 12 hatch does not work or is inferior.

Perhaps this is because even if they spot the 2hatch lair the toss has to be worrying about mutalisks? But then I would think you would counter both by putting cannons in your main mineral line.

with the fast drop, a toss will have 2 put cannons all over the place and thus delay his own tech and unit production

lol i really wanna c a pro toss beating this build against a pro zerg

really, the strongest point of this build is the drop cuz it allows zerg 2 by pass the cannons toss put up

Oh and btw, im pretty sure you got your gas timings mixed up, theres no way you can afford lair followed by ling speed, den, drop and lurker aspect all from 1 gas without waiting for gas.

with an overpool speed you even have to wait a bit after researching drop to research lurker aspect, despite getting lair after speed.

I didnt messed up the timings at all, ofc you cant make drop tech and lurker tech at the same time, but the thing is that you make the drop tech and after ( u almost have 0 gas left after it ) you make the lurker aspect, this way they both end up at the same time, lurk tech a little later but thats the time you are dropping him.

Ok, but how much do you have to wait after your lair is finished to start drop? and wouldnt you agree that getting den at 50% lair is bad since you're not gonna start lurker immediately after lair is done?

getting den at 50% lair is bad since you're not gonna start lurker immediately? totally agree, i think i will change that.

By the way you should add that you send your first 2 ovies towards his main, your second one can stay on his nat for a while but sooner or later, gotta send both of them just outside his main. And the 3rd one goes to his nat to drop the 3rd lurker you have there, asap.

this wont work vs a decent protoss. hell, im D+ but if i dont see a 3rd hatch i know somethings up. which will mean more scouting a more hungry corsair and more cannons everywhere. honestly i dont see this working at high level. bisu was pretty arrogant that game -_-

this build is much better with 9overpool, because the protoss will have to prepare for a lot more cheeses. Meaning cannons in the main, natural and nat front.

Ok i have updated the Post with the overpool opening, it makes the drop at the same time and the economy is about the same (3rd hatch at the same time) so i would recommend to use this build as other people said before, i manage to make the drop at 6 min mark which should be the same time as his sair pops out. Waiting for your answers.

just one detail//


in the 12 hatch BO there is no point in doing den at 50% of lair, u wont have the gas to lurk and ventral at same time. you can delay a little bit. How much? i dont remember exactly, but i think i use to let one drone mine 2 times on lair at 50% then doing my den.

i think throwing den early is safe cuz u can make few hydras out early 2 prevent sair harass

sair harras wouldnt come till you have your drop finished, in fact he will have ONE sair by the time you are dropping him and he couldnt kill your ovie if the cliff distance is short enough

I fucking hate this build. Still adjusting to it. Lost about 5 games so far to it. I have beaten it the last time it was tried against me though. Was still a close game.
So wait? I'm bad? =(

In fact it could be really hard to beat if you went citadel instead of robo (which a lot of P users do) and even thoudh you are 2 base vs 3 and with lurker tech and drop tech already in play, i think the way to beat it is use the lack of spire with templar drops. if you kill some of his drones, after 2 or 3 min after his drop he is really fucked.

Could you post the replays? It would be awesome.

Shouldnt a protoss scout for the OL as soon as the corsair comes out? Or is it not out in time, I havent really tested it.
