Eventually he just 1a's into my 36 corrupters, with his 13 tempest and 2 archons. 9 tempest and 2archons remain after. splitting my corrupters didnt do anything, 13 tempest + 2 archons, you just need 15 infestator and do 15 Neural parasite :D | ||

Unless the toss had a mental breakdown he would be focusing the infestors... Anyway if he's just going tempest/archon/chargelot roach/hydra/corruptor will beat that very handily. Roach/hydra/viper as well but roach/hydra/corruptor would be better vs that composition imo. No templar/colossi makes that easy. Wait until you play a player who turtles on 3 base with mass voidray/templar or voidray/colossi  | ||

I usually go to 15H 15P, but it dies horribly for 10 pool baneling bust which comes even before any of my units spawn. Now i don't want to do 14/14 cause it's so bad economically vs. 15/15. What about 14H 14P or something like that? | ||

What about 14H 14P or something like that? you cannot hatch first an expect to survive 10 pool baneling without life level micro there is no safe and economical opening in all of starcraft you can either open safe and have less economy or open economy and be less safe | ||

Faster hatch doesn't = faster queens, faster pool = faster queen. You might get your 2nd queen faster with hatch first (anyone know about this?) but your first queen is coming out faster with 15p/16h. It's general knowledge that 15p/16h no scout is just as eco and slightly safer than 15h/16p with scout. | ||

It's general knowledge that 15p/16h no scout is just as eco and slightly safer than 15h/16p with scout. I disagree with you. A 15 hatch 16 pool is better economically then 15P. I definitely disagree heavily with you thinking it's just as eco and slightly safer. It is safer but not as economical as 15 hatch. If this was true that 15P = same economy as 15H then nobody would 15 hatch ever. Now is it enough to mean 15 hatch player wins? No of course not, not even close but he does get a slight economic lead early. | ||

You utilize Ling/Bane mobility If they are turtle with spore hydra, u should have faster 3rd -> better economy. Pressure with muta/ling/bane while teching | ||

They melt all my units so fast and it just hits so quickly You have to have roaches.hell bats are way way to good vs lings to make those and survive. If you make a roach warren and get those you should be able to survive any fast hellbat drop. Seriously though I think hellbat drops are to strong, I don't think medivacs should be able to hold hellions in hellbat form imo. | ||
