The rush itself is definitely not OP nor the problem here. I would file a bug report about the creep upon the hatch cancel though, just in case it isn't intentional. I don't see a big problem with it ... since you have to give up so much to do it, but it may be unintended none the less.

That's not even a rush IMHO. Takes forever for that fat-azz Queen to bring her anthenae across the map. Reminds me a bit of the famous "Mothership Rush" :D

Didn't know that unfinished hatchery spawns creep... there might be something fundamentally wrong with that, regardless of whether or not this is easily defendable

i think a better use of this strat would be against double gate zlot rushers.. if you proxy spine crawlers at your nat you could get your expo up and running with ease.. will have to experiment though


Would hurt more than it would help... you'd have 75 less minerals early on when you couldn't afford it and the early spine crawler would mean you're also 100 minerals less than much sooner. I'd sooner just fend off with lings...

PS. As soon as you see the queen coming you know what's happening too...

Despite the fact that this "rush" itself is utterly useless, this could have certain utility for moving the creep pre-Lair. Though it is pretty costly at 75 minerals, plus the time when you're spending nothing to wait for 300 minerals, plus any Spawn Larva cycles that you miss due to the Queen being away from base and spending 25 energy on a tumor.

This might be worth it to establish a contain at the natural on maps like Kulas Ravine. But even then, it's pretty iffy.

Have you read the rules on Teamliquid?... Shitty oneliners are bannable offence.
Also the OP should better read the rules... you need multiple replays on platinum level if you are not a known player to provide evidence that something's wrong. Please read the rules before posting.

I don't think this build is overpowered at all since its all in, deal with it.

I have just encountered a rush from zerg that I think glitched.

Zerg is all standard until he makes a queen, rushes it to your base with 6 drones and about 8-10 zerglings. One drone makes a hatch and then cancels it quickly allowing creep. Queen builds a tumor there. While the tumor is spreading they start making 5-6 spine crawlers. Also preventing you from killing them as he has now spawned 20 zerglings by now.

Anyway to counter this as Terran as by the time I had more resources as him and was just got my 3rd barracks done by the time the spine crawlers destroyed my wall and 30+ zerglings just flooded in. Killing my 5 marines and 3 marauders that i had no choice but to micro and still lost. This happened at the 7 minute mark.

This little glitch is too quick for Terran as I said he had 5+ spine crawlers out and 18 zerglings protecting when I just got my 3rd barracks up and constantly have near 0 minerals Marcoing well. He had started his spine crawlers before the 5 minute mark. Seems like a very unfair glitch that grants a win just like Terran can not counter 4- gate zealot rush very well at all.

I have encountered this rush about 5 times today and every time I tried something different, but nothing seemed to work as I could not get the number of units I needed to destroy the spine crawlers and the zerglings. If I target the zerglings then the 5 spine crawlers spawn and I could not deal with that. Also because he doesn't have many drones anymore he doesn't have to make overlords. He just gives up a drone for a spine crawler and makes more zerglings. I hope the glitch is fixed because right now Terran can not beat it, because it's just to quick.

Any insight is helpful Thanks


Just scout it... You can literally walk up, make a bunker, and your marines will take care of the rest. Unless you tried to do something greedy and don't have any marines.

alas, marines in bunkers have range 6 - spine crawlers range 7.
only the marauder get to par when in a a bunker, which you won't be able to build on creep.
transfusion works quite well and i guess repairing does, too - but the latter screws with the whole cost argument.

The spine crawlers do extra damage to armored units, and thus walls. But honestly, this is just like any other cheese. The Zerg loses around 100 minerals by canceling that hatchery. They also had to save up for the hatchery in the first place so their economy is really hurt by this. If you scout this, you should just start pumping marauders and build bunkers. Marauders in bunkers have equal range as spine crawlers and they do bonus damage to the spines, as well. Transfusion on the spines shouldn't be as big an issue because you can repair your bunkers as well.

However, I think the rush does abuse an unintended glitch: A canceled hatchery should not produce usable creep.

This had to be programmed specifically into the game. It couldn't happen by accident.


Uh... what? It could easily happen accidentally.

I watched the rep and i'm sorry but you're just all over the place man. You really can't aford to tie up all those resources queueing that many units that early, and you IGNORED HIS PROXY when you had vision of it wtf lol? Please don't call something impossible to defend, ever, unless you have fantastic evidence and credibility like Orb's reaper thread.

Here's a tip, get GOOD.

I don't have sc2 beta and even I know this strategy is complete bullshit.
