Wow Best getting creamed! So glad I voted for Luxury But what's up with his name Practise?

And damn he sure likes to go to the bathroom or whatever.


Seriously, if any more people keep asking this.

PRACTICE IS THE NICK LUXURY'S BEEN USING FOR MONTHS NOW. PLEASE DON'T ASK WHAT'S UP WITH IT.

(caps so everyone can finally read it...)

Luxury showing us all how lame Zerg is



I was actually really excited once I saw Lux go 9pool speed. I'm always interested to see what pro Zergs can do with an aggressive build on maps with ramps. Is cheese all Zerg can do? Seems like it's always 2 hatch muta or a hydra break after aggro starts from Zergs.

Continuously pump zealots from 1 gate do not mine from from 2nd gas and go a 2nd gate right in the middle of cyber warping.
Go make a cannon in main, 2 up front one close and a little further from the expo nexus.
Start making a stargate and send out 3 zealots + 1 goon and a probe to scout out to catch timing right before a hydra push. It should survive against about 10-12 lings with proper micro which is pretty much the amount the zerg will have to contain scouting. Any more, and you know its a zergling all-in.

It is very economically strenuous and weak if the zerg went a macro play but this is a safe way of going about doing it.

Its increadible that you call a two hatch muta build cheese. Its a fucking tier 2 unit!

I hate this map pool so much.
I think BeSt is going to miss his first OSL title just because of this map pool.
Minimal effort.

You can also just keep your scouting probe alive a little longer

Against speed lings? I think that for a 2 hatch hydra, you start mining back gas a little bit before having ling speed, but if you wait for it before killing the scouting probe, you only have the range upgrade slower, but the same amount of hydras.

PvZ is the hardest mu to balance out, hence a history of poor pvz recs from leagues throughout the years.

ZvT =/ PvZ, much different dynamics and styles of play.

If the zerg invested in early spawning pool and zergling speed upgrade just to keep the protoss in the dark, isn't it only fair for the protoss to cut down his economy a little to check what the zerg is doing?

I hate it when protoss players whine about how they can't scout when they can. If the zerg cuts his economy to keep you in the dark, then do something about yourself rather than keep pumping probes and waiting for the first corsair hoping nothing bad happens before that.

"No rush 20 mins OK?"



What would you call it? An aggressive, low-econ build that has one good chance to deal big damage? If it's a strong econ build, why would anybody use 3 hatch muta instead?

I didn't mean to call 2 hatch muta cheese, though that's how it came out. Plus I've never even tried it or considered trying it, so I'm not in a position to say. Do you think it's not cheese? It seems equally cheesy to a hydra break to me, though I prefer to call it an all-in timing push.

He's good at PvT/PvP
His style is derived from logical analysis and build order advantages.
Very rigid, not typical of a strong PvZ player, which has the qualities of being intuitive and flexible. IE Bisu/Kal.
