Will try it out.
But isnt 13pool worse economically than 11overpool? Is it because of larvae timings?

I'm curious to see your feedback about this build, Blade, as your other threads have been very helpful to my ZvT and ZvP.

I've played around with it a bit. The push is definitely not going to do any damage against a T who is gearing up for an early timing, but imagine the roaches would help defensively in that sort of situation. My only mains concern is that 15 Hatch being so common, many Ts will see a pool first build and plan to bunker preemptively. In that case the only damage you are likely to do is sniping a couple of depots outside of the bunker range, but that hardly seems worth the sacrifice in econ. That said, GM Terrans don't see it coming I doubt my mid-masters opponents will.

I was doubtful of your zvt at first, but I just tried it against a friend and he did not know how to respond. It takes advantage of the zergs best abilities. Thanks for the strat. And one small tip for your English, you are normally supposed to put a space after periods to start a new sentence.

This strategy is invalid.

Works only if you play vs someone that doesnt scout. If he sees the roaches its game over. 1 marauder + 2 bunkers its gg.

Considering most diamonds~grand masters scout the opponent. Hellions also are good scouts, the "2 lings early deny any scouting" is invalid. 1 minute later 2~4 hellions are at your ramp ready to roast and scout.

I somewhat agree with this vs terran. Hellions won't be there in time but if the terran gets an scv near your natural at around 3 minutes and doesn't see an expansion that is going to be enough information for him if he's smart. And it's not really hard to get another scv out there against slow zerglings.

I did like it against protoss though. Protoss standard builds are all very weak to it and they need to change their build a lot to react to it. That really takes control of the game for the zerg and I like that. Much like 7 pooling into a macro game on a forge fast expand map. I think this is a good build for xel'naga caverns or any other map with a wide open natural where forge fast expand isn't easy to do.

I've pointed out that the 7 roach strat is not suitable at a big map,because terran player will scout and have enough time to react.But in the short-distance map,7 roach is really quick(4:55).The main purpose is to scout terran's tech through pushing,not to rush and win the game,which also makes you safe to expand your natural.If he goes for marauder,it's ok.You can just stay in his natural and delay his expansion.Back to your home,you can drone safely and upgrade speedlings or whatever.You can estimate the combination of his amry by pushing.But he is blind,he don't know whether you'll keeping pushing or you've throw down your second and drone hard.Some 4 raxes is very hard to handle though,you should go for speedlings and banelings.After the 1.40,i believe most terran will go for hellions,right?

Isnt the 7 roach opening killing a lot of eco, that if they went FE and walled off could put you severly behind in the early game and if they held the attack off

Hahah. This is true! FOR THE SWARM!

Also, to refer to a few other posts by people... China's SC2 community is growing by leaps and bounds... I've lived here for half a year and already gone to a few minor tournaments, with cash prizes, filled with loads of chinese players... They still aren't on the level of Korea, though.

How does this fare against a terran that plays standard? Furthermore, isn't that roach opening just a 7 roach rush? I thought the community consensus was that thats not a good opening against any terran worth his salt.

EDIT: Also, I've been using that ZvZ strategy for a while, and it HAS serves me well. Unfortunately, I ran into a problem when I used it against a 15 hatch opening that just made a bunch of slow lings, built 2 spine crawlers at his natural expansion, and put all his lings and queens on the ramp while he waited for them to finish. There didn't seem to be a whole lot I could do =/

Great guide! ZvZ has always been my toughest match-up, and a few of your openings look really good and I will try them out for sure. Also the Roach push is interesting and something I will try, been having quite a bit of trouble against hellion openings so this should crush them. I am worried about FE builds against Terran on a map like Shakuras where they can wall off at their natural, isn't that givng up too much eco?

P.S. Your English was very good. ^^
