Lol another cheese/all in by tang. However ts a great guide (and im terran). I saw this on the ladder a while back (high dia) and won purely becuase i was marauder hellion all inning already. I dont think idve held at all if idve macrod.

I have to say that i prefer the drg version, (don't make roaches til 44 supply, along with a second gas) for a larger push, specifically with allowing for more games. This version can be seen blizzard cup final game 1 (along with another game i believe). The drg version has a lot more chance of having siege done, but also is bigger push.

I really like the DRG version, use it now and then.

The thing that's great about this play is that it is a perfect response to all the 3 cc plays that Terran is doing these days. Playing a macro game against such a build is complete hell, so us zergs have a duty to keep Terrans honest by frequently mixing in busts. Terrans have no right to complain about cheese, because heavy macro plays are equally as cheesy in my opinion.

Haven't actually been able to test this on ladder these couple of days... seems like there aren't as much Terrans playing in Gold/Platinum at this time of the day.

True, but wouldn't the later roach/baneling attack ala DRG work as well? I've seen 3cc hold that before, but even then it usually puts the players at least even and keeps the terran defensive for a short while. That one can be done more reactively after an overlord scout and other ways to confirm it's 3cc.

Really depends on terran not scouting it and getting like 4 bunkers on time. Zerg usually wins if t doesn't bunk and target banes. I've held roach banes super easy and lost to them super badly. just depends if t prepares.

I like the drg version better. 15h 17p 16 gas dont take drone off gas even after speed 40 roach den 44 gas bane nest with roach is 80% complete and 3 overlords and cut drones. At this point you should have 10 lings out on the field. He made this build just for MMA and MVP's greedy style.

hmm I almost want to say I prefer a regular baneling bust over this the only downside to that is dealing with the hellions but with good control you should be able to. Reasoning:
1: Roaches are slow moving roaches across map should give terran time to build bunkers while if you suddenly stream 30 lings across terran has no time to react.
2: Roach warren costs money and roaches cost alot of supply so you spend alot of money on overlords with your all in

I'd say if you would roach bane bust you should do a later one I think the percentage of times where you just straight out win is around the same maybe a little less. It's alot safer and lets you play out alot of games where you did damage but couldnt overrun. What this build seems to me is you looked at a roach bane agression and created an all in build out of it wich is just as potent at killing as the original but doesnt have a follow up. Either way it can catch alot of people off gaurd and you should get a decent amount of build order wins against really greedy 3cc while teching or double reactor w/e.

P.S. cant quick 3 cc hold almost anything if reacted '' perfectly ''. I mean techincally you retreive back like 75% of the cost of the CC itself after dropping a mule?

I'm not trying to randomly flame you like you are tang, but most of the "builds" on these forums that people write guides for have been done by different players long before they ever get posted here whether or not the OP knows it or not. A roach bling bust . . . . yeah other people have probably done it, doesn't mean you have to be a dick about it. This is a pretty cool all-in to keep terrans on their toes, nice guide Tang!

But at the same time doing a 3rd cc is blind too. Terrans just feel safe because they can make it in their main.

I know that wasn't your point, but it is the reason there are so many roach type all ins now zvt is because every terran and their mother is going fast 3rd cc, so zergs are blindly trying to metagame.
