EPTBesides; the zerg army can't really hurt a careful terran who continues to deny creep spread and a 3rd once the big reveal has been made. They will pre-occupy their time getting either corruptors or hydra - rarely do they go for enough Mutalisks. The worst you can expect for 3 mins after reveal is an effective surprise counter attack while your army sits near his base repairing or re-enforcing. You can also compliment the pressure with Viking overlord harass; or buildings local to the zerg (e.g. bunker/turret pressure) provided you watch for nydus or muta packs.

Was ahead the entire game, I think i am going to try this out sometime. It just seems weak to some kind of roach ling baneling bust but who knows Agreed about the roach/ling/bling bust part. I have a hard time seeing the BC kill stuff fast enough for you to survive. The Z should be able to just bust down your front door and kill your from inside, ignoring the BC hiting his forces.

My initial bc usually hardly does any direct damage other than a queen or two and forcing a lot of spores and hopefully something stupid like hydras. That being said, it's very nice to be reckless with the bc, do a bunch of damage, pull it back, repair, repeat, and so on. | ||

They initially say "wow, you're making BCs?" When I arrive at their base, they have made ~30 Hydras and nothing else. GG. So far 4/4 wins in low master league! | ||

Cloak banshees are probably a waaaaay too big investment and will either cut out the tanks entirely or delay the attack by way to long time. Proper response is however as you said, few spores to survive and couple of queens.. do NOT overreact to the BCs basically. Cheers Dan | ||

He scouted fusion core while it was building. this. i dont play terran or zerg, but it looked like with getting that solid scout in he could have dropped a baneling nest, busted the front and owned everything inside. suiciding a second overlord would have given him enough info on how viable that would have been which was (very) at the beginning where there were close to no marines or tanks. | ||

It's not anywhere near as good for P since they can just produce slightly more stalkers instead of zealots. Z is forced to commit to early game AA where P gets it by default. | ||
