Anyway, i hope you'll recover soon  Gz !Thanks for the wishes! I really do need to work on minimap awareness, whether casting or playing. This is why I get wrecked by Drop play so much :S | ||

Anyways, I'm growing a bit fond of this banelingless strategy, but the exact BO is giving me trouble, particularly the 28/28 bit. I just don't have nowhere enough mins for speed, 2 crawlers, 2 evos, 5 sets of lings AND a 6:00 macro hatch+2 queens. I know that as Zerg I shouldn't be sticking to BOs too closely but this discrepancy between my minerals and stuff I need to build seems just a bit too large. And sadly enough all the replays swerve from this BO at 16/26 mark so it's hard to see in action what I'm doing wrong. So yeah.. any nudge in the right direction greatly appreciated. | ||

The build order should really be refined, I posted something similar some pages ago. Even if you have the minerals for all that, it leaves you with 3 hatches, 4 queens, but very few drones mining minerals. So you can't even use the larvae for mass speedling or droning up. I think you should get one spine and one evo at 28/28. Delaying all the other stuff a bit. | ||

I kinda like one spine+evo, feels comfy and secure, so that was how I was doing it. However with 2 drones one extractor my biggest problem was getting rid of excess gas, especially with no second evo to dump it for +1 armor. In any case, I was messing it up big time after 28/28, so a replay which would streamline this for me would be a godsend.  | ||

Just do it when you can afford it. Gonna post a replay where it is clear. I also like this build very much as it suits my play style however, the one problem I find is once a decent number of medivacs are out you need banes or infestors fast!. I notice in aXa games he goes infestors but since the nurf I find this troublesome at times as they are so freaking slow! so i've been working a bit of banelings in. I even had a game where my lings where 3-3 cracklings to his 1-1 marines with 5-8 medivacs and his marine balls would JUST NOT DIE with infestors  The medivac's where healing as fast as FG was producing damage. Any thoughts on how to get around this ? as I'd like to avoid banes if possible | ||

9 ovie 13 scout (build assumes you lose the scout, so if you don't, you'll be a bit ahead) 15 hatch 16 pool 18 gas (mine to 100, then pull drones) 17 ovie 18 2x queens, 2 sets of lings. Both queens use first energy for a creep tumor. 26-28: depending on how you transfered drones and a few other things, you'll be around 26-28 when you get 100 gas. Start ling speed as soon as you can afford it 28: spine crawler 27: spine crawler 26: overlord 26: put drones back in gas 26: lings to help vs hellions (due to the later pool & gas, you hit this point earlier than in axa's build) After you've got 5 sets of lings up, or while waiting for the ovie to pop, build an evo keep droning, work on saturating your mineral fields a bit. I found that I had enough larvae to not need the macro hatch right away. I dropped the macro hatch as ling speed finished, right around 6:40, and dropped a second evo chamber, got another gas. Get the extra queens, and definitely keep up on injects. You should have a good number of drones by around 7:30, and able to start pumping lings. I've only run through this build a few times in solo mode, but found that I liked the drone count a lot better. The downsides are: - slower pool means harder to hold off bunker/2-rax aggression - slower speed means harder to punish early aggression, and harder to hold it off - The macro hatch timing could be earlier if you want, but I find that getting my econ up a bit more before dropping it was better. I'll probably have a better sense after I've played some real games with this though. Anyway, wanted to throw this out there for others to play with too, while I try testing it in real games. | ||

I do tend to get +1/+1 before lair. Always the +1 attack, usually the carapace too, but sometimes I skip it if I want faster infestors/mutas, depending on the situation. I'll post replays when I get them (unless no one cares since I'm just plat ). | ||

would you please add in some more detailed content on how to deal with a mass hellion opening?? i found that with mass hellion openings, i can't control the watch towers and i have no way to know whether my opponent is attacking or not.....which makes me unable to build enough lings before the attack hits also if i rush for roaches immediately, i am quite vulnerable against heavy tank compositions such as pure mech or some strange marine tank timings without stim or combat shield | ||
