I've seen players a 2nd queen before the 3rd hatchery so they can spread 1 tumor before moving down to the expansion. Other times, I've seen an early production of 3 consecutive queens in the main (The third queen is used to spread tumors, first 2 for injects at main/natural) then building a 4th queen at the 3rd hatchery to inject there. I personally prefer a 4-queen, 3-hatch style to actively spread creep. | ||

What is worse is when Toss do find a minor build order victory... the Zergs response is to suicide the roaches up the ramp into the natural - killing everything Toss has in the process and effectively ending the game. If it doesn't kill the Toss out right thats ok though, as Zerg has already tech'd and remaxed on Broodlords at that stage :o | ||

I personally prefer a 4-queen, 3-hatch style to actively spread creep. What I've seen Stephano do is walk down with his first queen from his main as he starts his second queen in his main. He injects his nat with this first queen, starting a queen at the nat about that time. He then waits with this first queen at the nat, put down a tumor, and walks it over to the third. So you get constant injects, and a tumor at your nat. | ||

He even built 8-10 early lings and harassed the Protoss for a good portion of the early game, killing several probes. Did he do his 11overpool early ling harass? I've seen him open this way to great effect, but I can't decide whether it's a better opening than 15 pool. . . | ||

I have more often seen him not doing damage and sitting there with 6-8 useless lings in the early game. Regarding his midgame is so good, I don't think thats a good risk to take. (yeah he is getting mapcontrol, but during a time where protoss can't be aggresive and good toss have a probe out somewhere) | ||

Well what I'm wondering is whether it really impacts the mid-game that much, I've heard arguments that the 11 Overpool is just as economical as 14/15 pools. | ||

I think thats right. 11 Overpool is only a bit behind in eco. Problem is the amount of lings you make. Its not a big eco risk, he still won most games, but I think its unnecessary. | ||

DL: http://drop.sc/158539 + Show Spoiler [replay comments] + major shortcuts: - blind 3rd base - skipped lingspeed - skipped detection - ignoring incoming 8min pressure (lucky cancel in this rep) room for improvement? - fewer drones and 4gas instead of 5, will it hit max sooner? more safe either way - a bit late 5gas for the amount of drones. - macrohatch could even be a 4th, maybe its not needed in the first place with lower drone count? - get detection in for the build to remain legit and transitionable - slight saturation balance obviously It's really braindead but works wonders. Hopefully zergs will be able to optimize 3-4base 4gas mass roach a bit more so we can see some truly crisp timings, and hopefully will P find ways to at the very least survive in those cases where 8min-pressure is not applied. Good luck everyone! looking forward to the development | ||
