Anyone else having this kind of problem? Where, in any of this, did you read about a 2 base roach build? Are you talking about a regular FE? If yes, you're probably skipping the lings, applying no pressure at all, and allowing him to tech freely while you do nothing. This is the wrong way to FE.  Regardless, if he goes muta, he's cutting units. There's a timing you can exploit to kill him. You need to watch some of your replays (or post them here if you need someone to do it for you) and determine when you need to be attacking, and then make sure you hit that timing next time you run into a player going muta. | ||

Yes, I was talking about the FE build, sorry if that was confusing. Thanks for the input, I'll try to remember to save some of my replays when this happens to me. Love the stream btw :D | ||

It feels like a roach play, with +1 and no lair with a fast expansion really beats this build. He simpy outproduces me in roachnumbers and if I spend my larva on lings to do a runby in to his mineral lines I fall back even further in economy. | ||

Well, for starters, roach plays in general aren't very good at punishing fast expands. If you scout a FE, or expect a FE (meaning hatch first) then don't go roach. If he goes pool first, and then expands, and you're still struggling to punish it, the problem is in your execution. | ||

The push comes around the time my lair finishes, then he has his expansion and more roaches. He lays down the expansion and has equally my roach numbers so I can't push and punish.

They cannot move into muta play with this opener either or they will die. Forces low eco roach or bane or roach/bane builds. If they try to expand behind you, you can overwhelm. | ||

This will allow you to go into the game with a faster expansion that is 100% defend able. They cannot move into muta play with this opener either or they will die. Forces low eco roach or bane or roach/bane builds. If they try to expand behind you, you can overwhelm. I feel that this is very risky, as it is punishable with a decent roach timing push. Thoughts? | ||

If they stay on 1 base ling/baneling and keep pressuring, won't you probably lose from having 300/350 minerals less spent on lings? | ||
