Anyone have the BO for 1-1 roach all in vs T. I used to do almost every game with a 90% winrate. I haven't been playing in almost 1.5yrs, I forgot everything ... that's probably why i'm 0-16 lol..

This is a good video that shows a 1/1 Speed Roach timing:

I am having trouble with reapers taking out my drone while I am trying to take my third base in ZvT. The reason is that I open up with 15 pool, 15 hatch, 17 gas, so my speed finishes around 6:37 making it so that if I want to take my third without my drone dying, I would have to escort it with some speedling's at that time and I think that is still too late for taking my third. What would you guys do in this situation?

I typically open with at least 4 queens, and then I just take 2 queens and walk them over to the 3rd. The queens will secure the 3rd vs any number of reaper/hellion the T will have by that point.

You can also use slowlings to just chase off the reaper while putting down the expo.

Thanks for this advice, I will be moving my queens there from now on.

I actually really really like inferno pools for zerg.

I think that Secret Springs is SO imba for protoss and mech terrans. veteo that map.
Deadwing is still bad ofc.

The rest of the maps are pretty good imo

I personally think Secret Springs is a horrible map for Zerg, because of how far both of the third base locations are as opposed to Protoss and Terran who normally open up with 2 base play with an now easy to secure or safer natural, while Zerg is left wide open.

yeah. exaclty. terran and toss can be greedy because of free nat. AND third is really far away. Also the middle choke point can't be FF so easily, so any zerg timing is screwed

Gateway expand blink stalker all in, 7gates off 2gas, hits at 8min. Seems like getting 3 gas is too much, and I need to do it off two? Are spines necessary? how many? Also seems like i can't get enough lings to really do much and its better to spend larva on roaches, and add lings in as my gas gets low. Im diamond and the guy said he has beaten top 25 gms with the build.

Is there a guide about SH ZvT?
Could not find something via TL search or google. I mean the playstyle Snute used to do in ZvT.

Thank you

hi everyone,

Most of my recent ZvTs I lost against marines/hellbats. I generally use ling, bling, mutas. I feel that I never have enough units and even when I can defend I can never move out and harass.

Can anyone suggest how I can improve?

Is it because my mechanics? I am plat so I know i still need to refine them
Or my units movement? Should i consider backstab or hit from the side?

If you feel that ling, bling and mutas still the best composition against it, then i will work on that. If it is another composition works well, please let me know. Thanks!

Not quite. The zvt game will start normalish. Ling bane muta with 2 2.
At the end of the mid game. Some times terran will ramp up the widow mines and thors to make muta ball and banes less effective. I am talking about 10 + mines or so during the parade push

At this time, Sh are very effective because they detonate the mines, and crush the thors. Also, the SH make it less effective for terran to pre spread their main army, because the locosts will tear the out ring of rines to shreads.

Then you can send your army to the terrain's 4th base. Use SH to force the terran to stim at you (they will clump up, making banes more effective) And then send the muta's to harass elsewhere.

at your lvl it will be nearly 100% A macro/build order issue. Better builds, and better macro will greatly increase your army size, faster. Post a replay. ANd what build do you use?

This is an example of a game where i lost against Hellbats/marines.

http://ggtracker.com/matches/5738670

I was going macro style, getting three hatcheries and going ling,bling and mutas.

Thanks for any inputs!!

Your opener is inefficient. With three queens and early speed, you need to saturate your natural before taking a third, or else you will have larvae sitting around. Watch Pig's tutorial if you haven't already:



You can easily change this into a more standard two-gas opener by adding a second gas around 6:30.
