Important Notes in All Matches

Scout, Overseers - zerglings etc.. use them - scouting is everything!!

Important Notes in Protoss and Zerg VS's

Infestors and spinecrawlers are all you need to defend early pushes and mid game pushes. Infestors ARE the most powerful unit in the game - regardless of what you think, 1 fungal growth can destroy a full batch of banelings and refuse nearly all air attacks.

USE INFESTORS!

And you better add these as the 8pool that is in there is fucking awful, I can't believe you've added it.



I do have replays but sc2replays wont let me upload.
