I believe he meant the timing before opponent's speed upgrade finishes while he has his own speed lings out on the field.

why are there so many cool zerg players that provide awesome content to community but not Terran/protoss!!


I always wonder this, although as I play zerg myself I don't really question it too much

It does seem like zerg players like to help eachother more though from what I've seen.

As for the OP: great post, some things I definitely will take on board.

OK I played around with doing this pretty much exclusively vs Terrans this weekend and at my level (1.1k Masters) I've found it to be quite effective.

I even ended up playing the same Terran 3 times in a row on ladder and beat him all 3 times with it. By the 3rd MU he knew it was coming, bunkered and had mauraders but using OL vision I still sniped 2 supply depots, several repairing SCVs and then just camped his natural while expanding and droning like crazy. While he held the push off, he came out behind in the end.

There was not a single game I played where I came out behind from doing it.

Nice thread!
I was curious about the name of the style of play you gave yourself, "避实击虚", and had to look it up. So according to Google's translation, 避实击虚 translates to english as "to avoid virtual strike". :p

Anyone have a way to explain this translation? I'm slightly confused, but it seems to be meaning a passive style? Though I'm not certain.
The spice must flow... Grammar lesson: "than" is used for quantity comparisons, "then" is used for chronological statements. The next forum user who says, "I'd do such and such, THAN I'd do such and such else," is gonna make me cry...

"避实击虚" means you avoid the strong points of the enemy, instead attacking the weak spots. Avoiding a head-on clash in other words.

For vs. T, what's the fastest time hellions (not BF upgraded) could enter a Zerg base? Would they be able to get hellions into your base by the 4:50~4:55mark and harass before the roaches pop?

Is there a forum thread that has this?
Marine = x.xx
Marauder = x.xx
Hellion = x.xx
Banshee = x.xx
etc. etc.

(sorry, newer player here)

I can only speak from experience and say I have never had hellions AT my base at that time. Rushing for hellions usually results in them popping at a similar time to when your roaches pop. This means you will typically meet them on the way to T's base (usually close to his than yours). Strangely every T that I've encountered then pulls them back to defend instead of trying to get some drone harass in. Of course they do absolutely nothing to roaches though.

Thank you very much for taking the time to write down these strategies, i really feel zerg should not be a passive race but its hard to take control of the field withouth risking much, your strategies help us find the appropiate way to control de battlefield.

I really like early roaches in ZvT, but I feel you really can 15 hatch into roaches and come out in a better situation economically and still be safe versus any terran 1 base. Roaches come out in time to deal with any terran 1 base tech/push (besides 2 rax, obviously) and really gives you safety to take a quick third (if the terran is early expanding) off only 5 or so larvae worth of roaches so you're not vulnerable to a lot of the timings someone designed to kill roaching zvt players.

Just a though, but I think it's pretty strong. Sheth does it a lot, and even though his zvt isn't the best, I think his opening is really good.

Very good guide =D. Been playing this opening in ZvT and ZvP to great success, rarely does my opponent think i can recover from what most of them call "noob all in". They are always surprised to see my third finishing as they finally get into a comfortable position to take their natural. (high plat-mid diamond level) Again great guide and keep it up man =D
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
