Love the guide! Always great to have more builds in my toolbox and this one is very easy to execute. Keep em coming.

Hi Tang,

I don't understand your map choice for this build. Can you explain what is the point ?

Ohana : whats the difference with shakuras ? Same choke right ?

Just a question, what are 5 banelings going to bust if he doesn't have a pylon/cannon as part of the wall?

Tang does say this build should be used on maps where you can't use 3 large buildings to block.

Nice guide Tang, though as a Protoss player I'm now going to have to set a large bounty on your head. I guess I'll have to start looping around and scouting the main at around 4:00 to see the gas, and use my Zealot to scout for a third, since there's no way I'll make it out of the main. Not sure if that'll work at high levels, but it should work at my level.
<@Wikt> so you are one of those nega-fans <@Wikt> that hates the company that makes a game and everything they stand for <@Wikt> but still plays the game <@Wikt> (like roughly 30% of blizzard's player base, maybe much more...)

If they don't see the third it might not be advisable to do this. You got this from the Zenio naniwa series right?

Yes I did, though I have seen him use the build in other games. One of the cool aspects of this build is if you start speed with your first hundred gas, and scout to find the protoss is playing VERY defensive (3+ cannons early) you could just do a with-speed version of the Stephano style instead of going for the bust. It's only an all-in commitment once you start streaming lings.

Day9 did a daily on this!!! I remember seeing it...

Im asking myself if it's possible to use this as an "semi" all-in Build against FFE, cause i just saw Destiny got crushed against toss playing FFE into 4 Gate +1 pressure and he just had no chance against it, when his 3rd was up he had nothing to deal with that amount of Zealots/Stalker/Sentrys and this seems very common in the current PvZ and what else does Zergs than 3 Bases before Gas? Nothing in my opinion cause your forced to all-in against FFE and pray for a win or go for a macro game. But i don't like gambling.

So i thought you can use Zenio's 3 Hatch all-in only to cripple the Protoss way enough while keep updroning without being that far behind him? Mean's you kick his forge and more or less probes so he can't proceed with his timing attack pressure and your able to get even your 3rd running and just a better eco while he must get back into his game and before he can do some serious damage you will have enough roach/lings/whatever just in time before the toss can do so?

That's just in my mind but hopeing for some opinions

You can hold 4 gate zealots +1 just fine with 3 hatch before gas, just as long as you take gas at 40 or before and make roaches as soon as you have the gas to.

could delay the attack and just morph more banelings...

though you're basially hoping that he isn't getting any sentry.

Also, dear Tang, could you elaborate on why you would attack that early?

It's not like he has much more stuff at 8:00 or 8:30 than he would at 7:15 when scouting three bases. And it wouldn't be as much of an allin then? The advantage of hitting at 7:15 is that warpgate tech is not done... but he wouldn't have enough gates to profit from it at 8:00, either... only that probably a single Void could be out if he went 1stargate.

I have lots of wins with a later version hitting about 8..9 minutes with 2 gas and a 40'ish drone eco.
21 is half the truth

Dear Mr. Tang,

I normally never post on TL, but I couldn't resist this time. I want to thank you for your kickass guides on being an agressive-pain-in-the-ass Zerg (nomnomnom). You made my ZvZ fun and understandable again, you gave me a clear guide to 3base ZvP and now a horrificly fantastic ZvP all-in guide.

Your guides are well written, give me a clear understanding of what to do in different situations and most importantly, give me builds that make SC2 a lot of fun for me, an evil bastard.

Nevermind all the haters and dirtdiggers! Please keep up this amazing work!
I look forward to your future guides and especially ZvT, because that's the only matchup I'm having trouble with, thanks to you!

Yours truly,

Statique

Generally you would go through the forge, since it has less hp/shields than the gateway/cyber.

A note here: this build only works if you are going to bust through a Pylon. If you have to go through a Forge, you need to wait until you have 10 Banelings. Usually that means you have to get a second gas right after you put down a Baneling nest.

I think it's better to do like Zenio did against naniwa in the first replay example: Take the 5-6 banes into the forge and then use zerglings to finish it off.

Also on most maps that can't be walled off by 3 large buildings (like shakuras) this build is especially potent

As a tournament / BOX build, I can see this having some value.

As an exclusive ladder player, however, I just don't see doing something like this increasing my winrate compared to playing the standard roach/ling style unless I see the protoss being exceptionally greedy and / or walled retardedly. What are you thoughts?

(Also, lol @ the BM from the replay with ILOVECHICKS)
