I already answered your question. | ||

No. The initial placement matches are only used to generate an initial MMR. Once you have an MMR, you no longer need to do placement matches unless it is reset e.g., by the TW/KOR, LA/NA, RU/EU server merges. You will only need to play your single "hey, I'm active" game to be re-ranked in the new season. | ||

When should zerg start to spread one's creep? Should they wait for the third queen? Or if they can't get the third queen due to pressure? | ||

Or if they can't get the third queen due to pressure? Make the second queen from the main, and use it's starting energy to drop a tumor to spread creep from you main to your natural. That tumor will begin a slowly spread creep until you get a third queen out which should be used to start the real fast spread. If you are under so much pressure that you can't get a 3rd queen out, then you're probably facing an all-in. There are few situations that I can think of where the you are under so much pressure that 3rd queen is impossible, and the other guy isn't going all in. In the case of facing an all-in, mass creep spread isn't going to play as large of a factor considering that if you make a successful defense, you've probably won the game. Also, you'll probably need all of the queen energy to make inject, so you have enough units to defend with. | ||

Should I have one over their main base and one over my army? (this is what I do. If the main one gets killed, I send it back. The third time I give up) Should I have one floating around the map scouting around for expos and armies? I know I need one with my army and have always carried one with my main army ever since I got caught off guard by DTs. EDIT: I didn't do my research  http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/2140504163 This thread tells me pretty much what I need to know: 1-2 for scouting, 1 for army. If anyone has anything to add, let me know. I'm in bronze. My friend in masters tells me he thinks I'm gold level play but the ladders are locked. | ||

vs Z - reactor hellion opening vs T - reactor hellion with 1 port viking vs P - 2 fact blue flame opener with attempt to bypass front line for major probe damage (most tosses do not expect 12 hellions at the 8 minute mark, when caught off guard it's gg) | ||

Where can I find a comprehensive 14g/14p 21 hatch ZvZ guide or replay pack? I want to know the reactions to everything, how to get roaches and how to defend expansions from blings and what tech choices to make based on my opponent. | ||

Then when this stopped happening, they switched back to helions, though i think 2 rax is still the best, at least on small maps. Banshee opening seem to dominate tvt, or shee hard-counters. They make you safe from most early pushes and decent expand timing. People have stated to skimp on defense early, so helions can be good, but b-flame drop is better tvt, or the helion/rine/medevac push is preferable b-flame drop against toss is not very stong due to FF. It can be a good way to transition into mech against toss. Hellions are great harass late game. As to ur question, yeah i think ur a helion nub if you really do that in all matchups. | ||

I want to know the reactions to everything, how to get roaches and how to defend expansions from blings and what tech choices to make based on my opponent. If you haven't seen it, start with the speedling expand guide by Chaosvuistje, which you can find in the Recommended Threads sticky. It covers most of the things you've mentioned up to early-mid game. I made it the basis of my ZvZ when I was in Silver and it hasn't failed me yet (now in Plat and ZvZ is still my strongest matchup). Also read the followup posts in the thread for some comments on handling banelings. | ||

When is it appropriate/safe to do this build? I see lots of pros pretty much pulling it off every time zerg goes speedling expand on 21ish supply. | ||

I see lots of pros pretty much pulling it off every time zerg goes speedling expand on 21ish supply. 1 gate FE is a build. What you build afterwards is determined primarily by scouting. Although you can typically say a good amount of sentries with a handful of stalker/zealot early to defend since when FEing you will not have much opportunity to pressure in the early game. | ||
