I experienced a similar if not the same play from a Zerg early today. I lost pretty hard considering my computer went on standby a minute into the game, a bug bit a huge chunk out of me in the beginning of the game, and I was confused even though I obviously scouted what he was doing.

It was just mass lings with around 5-6 queens by the time my phoenix tried to harass him. I think the scary part of this strat is that he can go any tech that he chooses after getting rid of his lings, he can bling bomb me any time he wants, and well... speedlings are just so good. He then transitioned easily into ultras after he destroyed my army.

Can anyone give tips on what's the correct way to respond to this? I was thinking storms and archons might be a good tech to go after spotting it but I don't think air would be good just because he can either switch to hydras or just overrun me with lings.

I was thinking if I do go a Coli build, maybe I can spread my army better and place forcefields in front is what I should of done.

Also, feedback on my play would be greatly appreciated. This is around 3.1k masters.

Thanks.

Heh muck small world. I found this thread cause I was looking for the thread which discusses robo ht openings... That is a lot more fun to do than collosux openings. I was actually playing against you in the zerg strategy chatroom and then you played against one of my toss practice partners and he beat you using this weird mass gate strategy. I lose a lot to it as well when I try the sling bling build. When I watched the replay he had a lot of room for error, even though you had dropped almost perfectly over his army he actively tried to split his army as much as possible. He makes like 7+ gateways and splits his army very well. And during one of his pushes he gets his 3rd while switching to collosus. It's just hard to deal with, and I'm wondering how you would deal with it in the future? I don't think you really have time to switch to roaches and switch to roach bling drops (Though I think that's the answer-- The problem is as usual scouting the number of gateways he has). And yeah could you reupload your replays as well?

how that zerg was 3.1k masters is beyond me. 2k/2k mins/gas? i can keep my minerals below 300/300 (C broodwar player) and i can;t seem to push masters. aggravating as fuck.

protip: use archons/storm vs that. srsly.

I'd just like to share a replay with y'all to let you know that this build works super well.

The Toss needed an obs in my base a lot sooner, but as you'll see, he opened phoenix, and saw a spire, so he thought I was playing pretty much "standard." Much to his surprise, I wasn't.

And Muck, considering this is "your" build--as much as a build can belong to somebody--do you mind checking it out and giving me feedback as to my execution? He took an early third, and I was worried about it, But I decided to wait for the ultras anyway. Turns out, that was the right decision.

I am a 3100 "masters" zerg.

you shoudnt stay on 2 bases for to long (its normaly enough but..) you can take your 3rd base like you woul normaly do or even sonner its not supossed to be a 2 base allin (even when i think some people think it is xD)
i recently take it at about 8-9 minutes depending on the game a little bit latter
