In the last game you were going Brood Lords vs. the protoss ball, was that influenced by games 1 and 2? If not, what made you choose lords over ultras? | ||

When you go back to vomit larvae, how do you toggle between hatcheries? Do you press backspace (which I find extremely inconvenient because its on the other side of the keyboard, requiring me to reposition my hand). Do you? Use bindings only for the two hatches and then just manually go to the other two? I personally have my queens on "4" and then click on the minimap... which isn't fast enough. Please help me out with some pro tips :D Personally, I have hatches on 4,5,6,7,8, and beyond that I always have them all hotkeyed to 0 (and also 9 if I'm not using multiple nydus worms.) I press 44, 55, 66, 77, 88, to center hatches, then inject. My way isn't the best #1 way for fast macro, but it is very good for crisis management, and very comfortable for me. | ||

In the last game you were going Brood Lords vs. the protoss ball, was that influenced by games 1 and 2? If not, what made you choose lords over ultras? I was just preparing to make Broods if needed. They definitely were not that game. Normally you will go Broods over ultras vs an Immortal/Zealot/HT/Stalker based army late game, which is the hardest composition to stop at that point. Ultras are better to break the first Colossus based army in the late game. | ||

These low quality ones are hard to watch sometimes. @Kazeyonoma Generally pros say it gets the warmed up and ready for the intense macro later in the game. ditto. thx for the vids, FOV and caliber of play is fantastic. low settings sc2 makes me a sad clown though.  | ||

- Is there a reason you favor ultralisks to counter colossi-centric builds instead of getting a handful of corruptors to deal with them? The hive+ultra den investment seem to give Protoss time to catch up in terms of number of units. - On small maps/close positions vs a normal forge FE (without being pylon blocked at the ramp) or a 1 gate FE, I feel there is a timing window ripe for a 2 hatch hydra bust, but I haven't really seen this outside of Idra vs orb (Lost Temple) in HDH#1. Is there no merit to this strategy? A lot of times I will see zergs add a roach warren and build some roaches rather than teching straight to hydras. Are lings not enough to hold off a 1 gate FE? | ||

- The only thing that could make this any more awesome is if the VODs were a higher quality. :D | ||

Is there no merit to this strategy? A lot of times I will see zergs add a roach warren and build some roaches rather than teching straight to hydras. Are lings not enough to hold off a 1 gate FE? Q1. Corrupters I do use sometimes vs Colossus builds. It can be quite hard to make the exact right amount, and they are pretty useless vs anything else. Definitely not a finisher, just a "keep me alive for now" unit. Vs Stalker/Colossus, Ultras are far more effective. Q2. I almost feel like there is no timing to bust a protoss if he plays right. Starving seems to work far, far better. HDH#1 was during phase 1 of the beta, and early in phase 1 at that. Anythign seen there can't really be sited. Also, IdrA vs Orb is about the largest mismatch in skill possible. Lings are plenty to hold off 1 gate certainly. | ||

Q about G1- Why no infestors to fungal and support the ultras? Not much of a zergling mix in either. Just not your favorite unit, or do you think the ultra/roach/hydra is a bit stronger vs P's mix in that game? | ||
