Assuming you have mutalisks on the field, then it is much better to just use overlord speed to see basically the entire map and deny drops as they happen. Even without mutas you can still just run small groups of lings to the medivac's destination and deny them that way. As long as you keep an eye on the minimap at all times and remember to get overlord speed as soon as gas permits then drops shouldn't do too much damage. Using 1 to 2 spines in the mineral line to delay the damage while your forces get there can help too, but 4 is a bit excessive. | ||

It's very helpful against heavy drop play as typically they will drop in multiple places at once. However 4+spines per expo is a big investment and you typically can afford it only when you're already ahead. | ||

Replay http://www.sc2replayed.com/replay-videos/6970 Click download replay. Spawned Altar cross positions, I am P he is T. He walls off at nat with depot and 3 raxes then quickly takes nat. He then constantly pumps nothing but marines (no addons or upgrades) and rallys them to my base while building additional raxes and factories. How do I go about holding this? My guess would be casually tech to blink stalkers, +1 armor and DTs? I just have never seen this before and had no idea how to handle it. Thanks! Edit: In retrospect I'm actually thinking 1 base collossus. Right track? | ||

If you want to improve your micro alone, UMS games like "Micro Tournament" will help you do that. It's probably best to just practice with your friends and focus on micro there, since you need to be able to macro while microing.

Rush distance Main to Main gets as from low as 100 (slag pits close, backwater gultch close) to as long as 180 (tal darim, scrap station) map units. This means that, with a speed of about 3, you have anywhere from 30 to 60 seconds once his pool finishes before his zerglings come knocking at your gate. When a guy 6 pools, his lings start at 1:40. they come out at 2:04 and arrive between 2:34 and 3:04 depending on rush distance. When a guy 10 pools, his lings start at 2:10. they come out at 2:34 and arrive between 3:04 and 3:34 depending on rush distance. If you go for an 11 overpool, which gets zerglings out by 2:40 (enough to hold off any 6 pool, and you could make crawlers too by that point) or 12 pool, which gets zerglings out by 3:00 (in time to hold off any 10 pool, and most 6 pools if you can stall for 10 seconds. you can make crawlers too by that point). Bear in mind that any pool that's later than your opponent's cheese pool, but not TOO much later, should win because you'll be able to defend as he attacks but with a larger income. | ||

And I don't really know what Pro zergs do either. They seem to do a mix of things. It is like no one really knows what the goal is against Protoss. So, what should I be trying to get? What composition of units should I ascertain and how should I go about getting them? Thanks. | ||

It is like no one really knows what the goal is against Protoss. So, what should I be trying to get? What composition of units should I ascertain and how should I go about getting them? Thanks. Well first of all, find a player whose style you like and has success against Protoss players. This could be Morrow with his ling/baneling style, Idra's roach/hydra drop plays, July's/Moon's/Losira's pressure style and so on. PvZ is an extremely flexible matchup at the moment, (hence the 'mix of things') so it's kind've impossible to give concrete advice. Two of the biggest threats in the PvZ late mid game at the moment are blink stalkers and a decent colossi count (4/5). For these you will need infestors and corrupters respectively. You should realise HOW to react by actively scouting for tech trees/unit counts/upgrade counts. As well as youtube generally, there are also replays available for dreamhack on day9.blip.tv and totalbiscuits youtube channel that will be useful for following a particular player recently. Furthermore, MLG Columbus has posted every single replay of the games there so I strongly recommend checking them out. http://s3.majorleaguegaming.com/2011-columbus-starcraft2-champ.html# Personally I'd advise Morrow's Ling/Baneling drop style because it is fairly easy to use and extremely effective vs the typical 'deathball' army. | ||

Edit: In retrospect I'm actually thinking 1 base collossus. Right track? wow what a coincidence, Ive been working on this exact build all day. I can tell ya that the biggest thing I fear vs toss with this build is him scouting the natural wall off early and immediately throwing down a proxy pylon and boosting their stalkers/zealots out to my base. Expanding yourself is def not the answer, he bunker rushes you because its the only pressure he can apply with the few marines he has. In order to drop the 2/3rax for the wall and get the CC out at a good time you have to cut back on marine production for a bit. stalker/zealot in his front yard early should basically get you map control until ~14min when that army is ready to push out. | ||

Meaning-- 4 stalkers in someones base may kill more than 3 zealots, all depends on reaction time. | ||

Tapping F multiple times is not really as efficient in my opinion. okay so i did some google searches and found the real solution. You dont have to press shift + f instead u can hold down F and keep forcefielding , it will ignore the move or attack command and cast forcefields  | ||

The advantage (as I see it) is that it would deny potential scouting of the extra CC in my base. And, someone would potentially think that I am supply call-down rushing them and over-prepare defenses (ideally static) while I would be busy establishing a huge economic advantage. Also, if I scout a baneling bust incoming, I can build a second wall on the top of my ramp making it very difficult to break. I see two potential threats: fast Siege Tech or early Stalker pressure. A bunker would counter early stalker pressure (although I would not necessarily have a bunker up), but to Siege Tech the low-ground wall could potentially be an auto-loss. Ideally they would think "low-ground wall, definitely a supply drop all-in incoming..." and then they would go 3 barracks+bunkers and thus delay their Siege Tech until I have a counter (which is usually Siege Tech xD). | ||
