Hey guys,
I'm a EU 3100 points zerg on the platinum ladder. I play macro oriented games (14 pool, 15 hatch etc.). But in the last time that became boring and i want to play more cheese oriented. Can you name me some cheese builds??. Because i need the exact build order.

THX for all <3

Hello!

Liquipedia has a plethora (sp?) of fun builds you can try. Here are a couple:

6 Pool
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/6_pool

5 Roach Rush (ZvT)
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/5_Roach_Rush_(vs._Terran)

5 Roach Rush (ZvP)
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/5_Roach_Rush_(vs._Protoss)

Baneling Bust (ZvT)
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Baneling_Bust
There's no Baneling Bust ZvP guide that I've seen, but it's basically the same idea.

For more, just visit:
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Zerg_Strategy#Cheese



Best of luck!

Against toss the best type of cheese would be to do a 14 pool/ 15 proxy hatch at his natural or to the side of his natural and just build spines/queens/speedlings and push into his base.

Against Terran the 7RR is a pretty nice option since you can catch him before he gets too many tanks out.

Against other Zergs doing 6-9 pool with 8 ling rush + spine crawlers at his base. The later the pool the more spines you should use, so 6-7 pool = 1 spine + 8 lings and 8-9 = 2 spines + 8 lings. Be sure to user extractor trick. Then just keep rally lings.

TL isn't Yahoo Answers. "Yo I need exact build orders for Zerg cheese" isn't an acceptable thread here.

You should try doing some roach pressure not talking about roach rushes but just pressure with 10-15 roaches while expanding if you still wanna macro but wanna do some sort of pressure builds to spice it up.

Map dependant, in-their-base hatch versus a protoss that goes forge FE is hilarious. If they don't scout it before you get a spine or two up, you get to amass a queen, a bunch of zerglings and a spinecrawler or two in their base, and basically sack their main for free. Map dependant, you can creep spread and spinecrawler down the cliffs into their natural, as well.

Also fun vP is bringing two drones to scout ~9 food on 1v1 maps (or when you know where they are), stealing both the protoss' gas and transitioning into a baneling bust. If you take both their gas, they can get nothing but zealots or cannons to defend, neither of which hold up very handily against banelings and cleanup zerglings.

Just from the top of my head(just search these on youtube)
- proxy hatch(only works if his main isn't scouted)
- proxy double evo chamber
- proxy 8 pool(only works if your main is scouted)

Lots of fun there

Zerg doesn't really have much cheese.

-You can baneling rush a terran
or
-some form of roach/roach-ling rush protoss.

The baneling bust I use is 14 gas --> 14 pool --> drone to 15 --> overlord --> queen ---> speed at 100 gas ---> baneling while making all lings after 15 supply. Comes slightly later than a baneling bust with 12 or 11 pool but the difference is pretty small and I get a better economy with it. Its surprisingly effective vs Zerg cause you can continue massing lings or transition with the second set of spawned larva, depending on how the push is going. I'm 6-1 in my last 7 ZvZs at high diamond / low masters with it and in only 2 of those wins did the bust not kill him or rape his drone line.

vs T I find the seconds matter a lot more so an 11 pool bust might be better, except 14 gas its a million times less suspicious and easier to disguise as a harmless expand.


This is the cheese I use in ZvP. It requires very little micro and is surprisingly effective

Yeah 3 roach speedling is quite damn good. Protoss either had to cut probes early to get earlier gateways (which a plat diamond player wont do as he always thinks probes and pylons) or do one of the other ways of defending it.

Roach/baneling all in ZvZ is quite good also.

yeah maybe but Roach B-Ling is very hard to play against mass speedling
because he can make a runby and the you are fucked and in Plat all Zergs play in ZvZ mass speedling
