If a ZvZ stabalizes there comes a point where you have to switch to roaches (or a ton of spines and mutas but that's more gimmicky imo). If you feel your safe and the opponent can't break your defense it's a good point to tech to roaches. If the opponent has switched to roaches and you can't break him anymore with speedlings you have to tech to roaches as well. note: On some maps like Taldarim it's more difficult to defend runby's with roaches so I don't know how it would work on that map. Maybe you can make a wall with evo chamber/roach warren to be safe. Far to vague  I know all of that but specific things, do I cut lings at a certain point, do i squeeze drones out between lings until i have enough drones to support roaches? and you completely ignored my baneling question | ||

With Overpool, if you go pool first (poolverlord, if you would), your pool finishes about 15 seconds faster. However, due to some supply block, your droning is about 20 seconds slower. If you're making lings instead, or saving for a queen or something, this may be less relevant. Overlord then pool: http://sc2calc.org/build_order/?buildOrder=10 extractor trick 11 overlord 11 spawning pool 16 queen pool then overlord: http://sc2calc.org/build_order/?buildOrder=10 extractor trick 11 spawning pool 10 overlord 15 queen the build order calculator isn't perfect on extractor tricks but gives the basic idea. | ||

He basically put a pylon on the corner of the mineral line and then built a cannon like, right next to the Nexus. While he eventually won the game because he was able to sim-city successfully and zerg tried a proxy hatch, idk whatwould happen if z tried to drone hard + expo behind his initial six lings. | ||

Is it actually worth doing this as opposed to just muling the close mineral patches? | ||

Is it actually worth doing this as opposed to just muling the close mineral patches? Theoretically, obviously the way he does it is better. Practically, spending APM and awareness and focus on that as opposed to other stuff seems pretty silly to me... | ||

It's just a matter of skill if he's capable of multi-tasking while doing that Btw 1 simple question: Are the ladders locked for newcomers too? I created a sc2 acc recently and I played my placement matches but I got stuck at "Play a match to get placed in Season 2". Afaik the season now is season 2 and the new one to come at 28th of July is Season 3. So is this a bug or it's on purpose made so ? | ||

But does concussive shells slow down charging zealots mid charge? Like if concussive shell hits before the zealot charges, will the charge itself be slower? What about if it hits while the zealot is in the middle of the charge? Will the zealot suddenly slow down a little? I Believe charge is a guaranteed hit, once initiated it acts out no matter what | ||

Jus a question, when you press backspace for zerg, will your camera go to the nearest hatch? or will it go according to the order of hatch built? example: 1xBackspace = main hatch 2XBackspace = natural hatch etc can you arrange the sequence of the hatch it will show? | ||

It is more beneficial to get +1 armor or attack for marines against pure zerglings? Who wins, a stimmed marine or a marine with combat shields? What is the most consistent and reliable cheese for terran? | ||
