So I'm new to team liquid and SC2 I bought a week after came out, tight right?
I played BW alot...but the custom games (ZC <3 u) so doesn't really count...and I was like 13.

Now I'm trying to play SC2 pro.
I'm not pro, uh not even close but anyways to the point.

Ya so I'm rank 21 currently and I pulled a bling bust in plat. Ya about that...it was scanned.
Why did I do it?
Because I about nutted myself when I saw T build 3 supply depots as a wall.
5 blings busted all 3 depots and after a second batch of lings it was gg.

So ya this does happen in Plat and uh ya its f'n awesome to pull off...The great things about Z is sometimes you don't need a good army you just need an overwhelming amount of them.

I pulled off a bling bust against 2 siege tanks and 10 rines 4 rauders.
It took 24 blings smart micro and was gg.
I sent in 6lings first and 24 blings followed in a straight line
6 lings blown up 6 blings blown up
18 blings > 1tank and all rines and rauders

So uhhh ya this is tight do it, practice it cuz man it would suck to see a three supply depot wall in on a scout and not know how to pull this off. All strategies in SC2 are worth learning and if you think this one isn't you will grow up to be a bad player.

Its like learning to play chess but not wanting to learn how to use your knight because last time you lost it and now you think it is useless. Try it out, get a feel for when to use it and how to use. Make it part of your aresenal.

Never forget Z is a responsive race not a proactive race.
You never want to just build blindly as Z(including muta harass, this seems to be solid blind build but I have gotten bent over by cannons at mineral line or rines)
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SCOUT AS Z

Maybe I'm getting off topic but probably not.
Bling Bust is tiiiiight
Using Bling Bust in the wrong scenario is nooooooot

I hate the word "opener" when refering to Z
I never have a BO when I play Z
I just build whatever counters what my opponent is doing thats my BO
I like to scout at 7 or 8 and always scout again before I attack. I like to send 1 ling up the ramp and see what happens...
It can mean the difference from going offense to defense as Z
and using those Blings to stop a bio ball...

ohhh and btw F other peoples BOs, use them as a reference but I like to F ling speed and throw bling nest down first and bust asap. Or even go double extractor for mass blings.
Running straight to mineral line or something with speedlings often fails cause they follow after and kill em with their units.
It is important to note and remember that ling speed is 4 blings and the time it takes to collect 100 gas. I suggest scouting it out and see what the best strat is.

The other thing is blings own most tier 1...hellions though...seriously you better make sure you scout or you will loose as Z and well, as the other races too but more pathetically as Z. This is paper, rock, scissors you better find out what they are going or you will only win when they happen to have a BO that is naturally weak against your blind BO.

Always remember Z has the ability to spawn an entire army in the time it takes most races to build 1 unit. “Oh crap he killed my OL by his base with 5 Vrays, I’ll build 10 corruptors before he gets here!”

In summary to all you naysayers, ya you can learn less strategies if you want...I'm trying to learn them all and go pro. Stay diamond/plat/gold or less if you feel like it, debate the viability of learning if you want.

However, never forget only the ignorant advocate ignorance and the hopeless hopelessness.

Man this looks like a pretty serious rant…sorry I get passionate when people say the best strategy is learning less strategy.
-Ya thats right I said it @&%^$!

Banelings doing friendly damage? Have you seen how few hp lings have? You would essentially be spending 25/25 to blow up your own lings or cause the risk of a chain reaction in your blings where your entire bling army explodes randomly.


I'd so love to see that, dumb as hell but also probably damn hilarious.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.
