I encountered some terrans who get them early enough (siege expand), but do terrans really fall behind if they get early siege and zerg don't commit to all in? | ||

If you see someone seige expand, just take faster bases and drone up because they won't be dropping you for a while. If they try to push with that all you do is build mass lings. The only good builds that really get tanks in time for this attack are mech. | ||

I feel like you spend just as much time justifying your aggressive play in your guides as you do explaining it. It's not really to justify my play, I'm just working to squash that SC2 stereotype that Zerg can only play macro. A poll at the end of a guide is a way readers can contribute their opinion, and I definitely didn't spend as much time making the little poll as I did writing the guide lol. | ||

There are definitely different variations of the Roach/Ling/Bane all-in. There are 2base lair styles where you get both speed upgrades for roach/bane, and there are 1base styles where you drone a bit more so you can get 2 gas and more banelings at a later time. The one I presented here is the earliest/most all-in version. | ||

Really nice guide, finally a way to attack a Terran back after then nasty Hellions! ^_^ Yeah pretty much any 26-28 warren is good for dealing with reactor hellions. Keep in mind after 6-8 roaches you don't have to execute a build this all-in, you can just do roach/ling or even 6-8 roaches alone. | ||

Why is your build "better"? | ||

You cut drone production like mad, but it looks like his timing attack was very successful as well and just as many units. Why is your build "better"? His push actually have a better economy and more lings/banelings, but it comes 20 seconds later which means some siege builds will finish. Also, roaches are out later so defense against reapers/hellions is a bit harder. Pros/Cons to both builds. | ||

 DRG doesnt have a build order, he got his general guideline and adapt to what his opponent is doing. "Side note" I'm currently high diamond and every time I face protoss they do some kind of silly all-ins, 7 gate blink stalkers and some variants and they do it blindly why ? Because Mc did it so, so they learned step by step the build and went to diamond doing that instead of doing the build as a response to X build. I crush them so badly and they rage quit, and it might be frustrating for them, but that's what happens when your a 1 build guy. My point is, i saw many post in this guide and I kinda feel like they gonna hit a wall if they open up blindly doing it w/o any real knowledge because lot of questions are really silly and comes from people with poor knowledge. | ||

Don't bash me guyz, i got respect for thang , hes a good player. I'm just trying to point out the fact that if your average player , you shouldnt be looking at this build seriously because chance u execute it well are slim. Macro > micro > decision making are steps priority for learning and i think this build to be executed very well requires alot of practice and alot of skills. Well actually there are such things as build-order wins, but that's another topic. I disagree pretty strongly with a couple of your points, especially when you say that following a build step by step won't make you a better player. Of course it will, you need structure to your play with clearly planned steps. A lot of players don't know how they're going to win the game, they just build and build their economy with no precise timings of when they attack. Just because an "average player" will not execute this build optimally the first time doesn't mean they shouldn't practice it and perfect their execution of it. Your concept of "Macro > Micro > Decision making" is not at all based on statistics or evidence, these are three things that can be improved simultaneously regardless of the build you choose. You don't have to develop perfect macro before incorporating aggressive builds into your repertoire; you should be doing it from the beginning. That's the only way to learn the game-sense / decision-making of aggressive styles, by playing aggressively. If you always macro, you won't know those situations where it's correct to go for an attack like DRG's ling/bane/roach. | ||
