Cool, always good to get information in one place, rather than in 30 time intensive locations.

I have a notebook but my pens always end up missing.. :S

I'm not sure about that, I like +1/+2 Attack early
and later on getting a second Evo and researching all upgrades.

Think Catz said he likes getting +1 melee attack first as well, not so sure though.

+1 carapace makes zerglings survive one unupgraded siege tank blast. That is quite huge, and it also greatly affects their survivability against marines. Banelings two-shot marines no matter what.

Could someone please tell me the reasoning why infestors>mutas (I'm interpretting this as infestors counter mutas, although it may mean infestors are better to get then mutas) since fungal no longer hits air?

hehe That's exactly what Catz said, people always think an upgrade HAS to bring something special with it like surviving one hit more or killing with a hit less.

How about your Banes just do a lot more dmg so your Mutas and Lings that will clean up have a way easier time?

anyway I prefer to get both upgrades, I think upgrades are the most important thing to focus on if you and your opponent are about equal skill level.

Thanks for this write up, all the time I get free is mainly used for playing the game so the long vids which I would love to watch, it would take me ages now.

hi, i just wanna ask: how do you actually tell a blue flame hellion + marine pressure from a tank + marine pressure? They both look really similar to me as when i sack an ovie, all i see is fact + tech lab.

are poking up the ramps/sacking more ovies the only way ?

also, how do you react to a very fast reactor hellion on wide maps such as xel naga? (gas before rax)

even when i manage to scout it and decide to go roaches, i find that the lack of map control really makes it tough for scouting(expo or timing attack), especially when the opponent has marines patrolling. Would putting up spines be a better choice? though it really hurts the economy early game.

thanks for the help !
