this sucks sooo much
i've had this done to me on Medusa and HBR alot
So many Zergs use their den to simcity their nat's, so my scout doesnt get all the way into the main. I expect a hydra bust and WHAM freaking mutals...

put up a gateway before nexus. trust me, its worth it and will not put you behind.

after this, make 2 gateways(or 1 if its 9 pool) and make zealots until about 7. you should then get gas/core. pressure with the zealots and force sunkens. if you see a 2nd gas at his natural expect mutalisks.

while he is doing that you are transferring into a 4 gate mass goon build which will eventually be 6 gate + robo for observer/reaver depending on hydra/lurker (if he goes muta its best for you as mass goons really rapes mutalisks in terms of cost)

after that it is up to your mechanics and intuition gl


Just how exactly do you plan to hide all this from the overlords?

This is a very nice guide. I've read it once and will probably read it again as it lets me understand what a Zerg is thinking. I already find PvZ on Destination hard enough

No, 12 speedlings have already been factored into these builds.

Excellent idea, that's a good example of how to trick your opponent. If you have an actual build order down, please share.


I wish I did, but sadly, I have made it to mid D+ and have never used a build order.

I know openings like 12 hatch,11 pool, 13 hatch, 16 gas..but I just freestyle after that.

one all in / macro opening i think works well is 3 hatch hydra. In STX vs KHAN. by. hero did this against jangbi. you can either play out the 3 hatch hydra and go allin. or transition to a more macro game and pump drones after faking the bust. Usually protoss over compensates for defense and his economy is weak going into mid game.

Gosh I hate you for putting this guide up but at the same time I'm happy your making a good contribution to the starcraft community =D.

I'm defiantly going to be losing lots of PvZ's T.T

well that was a horrible example of the build lol. you build three cannons at nat, he runs some zerglings into your main and kills a gateway. he goes two base muta into two base hydra while you go goons and he dies.

sorry to so negative but it just sounds like a ridiculously bad build rather than some universal anti-cheese build. maybe a better replay would help.
