All in all a good day, the pile would have been a lot bigger if I had laddered today and got a lot of vP's . All jokes aside, no offense was taken. I don't mind people telling me that there are spelling mistakes. Besides, English is hardly a second language for me like any other language would be for a native english speaker. There's tons of english content on the internet and on TV to learn it at an early age. Nevertheless, it never hurts to learn some more. The last 'spellcheck sheet' I was handed taught me a lot  | ||

I'd like to renforce that when going zergling infestor, it's not all about the infestors, zerglings are actually amazing. It's important to use multiple control groups for flanking, defending drops, and harassing, and when you have a ton of lings there is no excuse not to have them burrowed all over the map for scouting. Pretty much any 2 base terran push that hits before the 11 minute mark can be held by pure zerglings, as long as you flank and don't overdrone (44 drone 2 base saturation is perfectly safe, you can get away with more). There are a few heavy BFH pushes where you want other units (often ling + queens are enough), but in general, lings have got you covered. Any push that comes after the 11 minute mark you have your infestors, so it's a lot less scary. I consider it to be basically a free win if the terran does a big timing attack, because they cannot hold onto their third after losing their whole army, and I can double expand. Terran players who keep their army alive and continue expanding turn it into a real game. Drops aren't too scary when you have your lings in multiple groups and a well-positioned spore crawler at the most vulnerable expansions. Probably the most annoying thing a terran can do against ling infestor is make a viking or two and kill overlords, but you can still spot for drops with lings sometimes, until you regain air control. Zergling drops are a great tool against a terran who expands passively without throwing away his army. | ||

In fact, i don't even understand why pro terran players don't do this now. Think of it like a mech t v t, the hero banshee wins the day. Infestors will fungal and or throw infested marines at the banshees, as well as, burrow and such to avoid them. Ghosts, on the other hand, are a pretty nasty counter to infestors. | ||

I have a hard time remembering even the popular 1 base timings for Terran, so this is super useful. | ||

Thors that are neural parasited can be /danced, but that is not all. If they are /danced right at the end of the neural parasite, they will dance until the animation is finished regardless of whether or not the Thor is in terrans hands again. Which means the Thor is out of action for a good 4 more seconds for free. In other news, my ZvP guide is finished up being written. I am collecting images during the next week and I hope it will be up by the end of it. It took up all of my free time this week T_T . | ||

I'll have to do that as much as I can before Patch 1.4 comes out, making it impossible to NP Thors. T.T Screw balance, let's have a /dance party before it's too late. | ||

http://www.mediafire.com/?ekr118y6h22rv7a It features replays with titles about the game itself. Most of them include my Ultralisk-Speedbaneling lategame that I can suggest anyone to give a try. Got 99 problems but a ghost aint one with this kind of lategame army. Enjoy! | ||

Sometimes even if I see them chrono-ing the upgrades and once I am prepared for his push, he just retreat and expand after that, making me way behind in economy | ||

Sometimes even if I see them chrono-ing the upgrades and once I am prepared for his push, he just retreat and expand after that, making me way behind in economy I do have a ZvP guide on my site, check it out! It's in the blog section and you just scroll down from there. Although I have recenty been having a lot of trouble versus protoss as well, so take that guide with a grain of salt. I've recently started getting hatch first with speed for zerglings later, then decide on +1 range if the protoss goes gateway expand and +1 carapace if he opens forge and starts upgrading. I get a quick third and macro hatch and most importantly another queen. So I can produce roaches first to hold of any major assault and then just go into wtftoomany ling production, and since you can rack up quite a bit of larvae with 4 queens and 4 hatches... After that I get up a spire and you collect gas while you make zerglings. This is great because it allows me to be aggressive on his third while also allowing me to crush any midgame timing attack hard. If he just turtles I basically instantly saturate my third because of the overload of larvae. And mutalisk + major frontal attacks can cripple a protoss quite effectively.
