Hey guys, this is a really a fun build I've been doing for a while. The opening (reaper/marauder/medivac) is something that I've been doing for sometime and is really effective with good micro. I use the opener to transition into a mech build as well as marine ups/drop play.

I haven't written out a build order, but will do so soon! Please let me know if you have any questions and CONSTRUCTIVE feedback. This build may not work at the highest levels, but I am sharing it for MAINSTREAM players that have NORMAL apm It's really fun to pull off and also to watch! Cheers.

What about Infestors? How do you deal with those fungals. Spreads might help, but even so..

Here we go again... I can't believe you can get away with making another thread after the last one.

This opener is so vulnerable to fast Muta play it's not even funny. Also those replays... Wow. I've never seen Zergs that bad. One of them just flies like 15 mutas into 8 turrets and lets them fight it out.

For the Ravens, Infestors and Mutas both annihilate them. The only reason you even survived in your VODs is because your opponents had staggeringly bad macro, and they are for some reason going for Broodlord/Corruptor WITHOUT Infestors. What league is this?

Don't get me wrong, Ravens are great support units, but you can't use them as your main army.

So you have a build with no BO, just replays and videos? Can't you easily type out a BO from the video/replays?

Infestors are a good response to the build. Good awareness and scanning, along with banshee's in the mix are good ways of countering investor play.

Your opening looks interesting, I'll give it a try! Your wallin in the beginning was kinda hilarious, pretty sure nothing was gonna bust trough there for some time.

Without a build order, I can't pass judgement on this, but

It looks pretty solid for high diamond.

Bouncin between Masters and Diamond. I lose more games than I should as I try a lot non-conventional builds on ladder to feature them on my channel

Watched the first video, while shaking my head and feeling shameful on behalf of both players. I´d like to see a video showing the actual ladder search, to prove you´re playing against master ranked players and not some custom games against low leaguers or friends. There were so many things (on both sides) that really made me question if both of you are even above diamond. This seems more like a gold/platinum play for me to be honest. Or maybe at very best low diamond opponent playing random and not very familiar with zerg.

The reason of this is that the zerg goes for mutas, and his muta timing is 3 minute late and when he finally gets them out, he keeps suiciding them to turrets where you had plenty of holes in your main he could have abused. He knew you made that planetary at behind the rocks and should have felt comfortable just taking 3rd and 4th since you even had a bloody planetary at your ramp and no offensive capabilities. Similary your own play is really lacking, floating 2k gas for 5 minutes isn´t a good opening even if you´re intentionally saving up. Anyways talking anymore of this would give me a severe headache. Your idea is cute, but its horribly executed and your opponents are even worse.

This is really not enough info for a guide, and even if it was I'm weary about how this would turn out given the last thread.
