Bust the tech lab, run to mineral line. When marines come, surround and kill, move back. Don't fight near bunker. Works very well. The idea is that you need to bust through the wall. You don't want to have to kill off bunkers etc if you don't want to. You want to kill SCV's. | ||

Just a response to you, already responded to OP :-D | ||

A scan is roughly the same are as you initial creep spread, and banelings are the typical followup to a wall/bio (early game). You cancel the hatch and put a baneling nest on the leftover creep. @anyone saying this is easily countered, the point is to make the terran think you expanded and making him feel safe. | ||

The reason this worked so well was because this was a Baneling bust that happened before the second base really gave any benefit at all. Usually the timing window for the 2 Base economic Baneling bust is much much later, after the Zerg has droned enough to saturate two bases, and then can focus on massing units. MVP expected at least another few minutes of zero aggression but July played trickily and caught at the absolute weakest moment possible. Well played by him. It wasn't a fake speedling expand though =[ Sorry! | ||
