If a robotics bay is spotted, the Zerg should not start the lair any later than 7:20. This is for the simple reason that there is a possibility the Protoss can immortal all-in.


you mean robotics facility........right? rofl (robo facility = where you build robo units from, robo bay is the upgrade one/requirement for collosi --)

Because we zergs like to write guides and help our fellow zergs out. Protosses aren't as nice, neither are terrans :D

probably because in wol there aren't many foreign terrans >_>

Great work.
Starcraft 2 is funny, everybody picks the race, which he considers to be the weakest. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is fantastic, big shout out to blade and those who helped him put this together, the accessible format/table of contents makes it so much easier to read. Excellent overview :D

Very nice guide. I know a lot of Zergs are having major problems against protoss, so this will help them out.
Engaging a late game protoss composition is really hard; zergs needs to split their hydras and corruptors when engaging them just like terran had to do since ever.
Don't cry because it's over,smile because it happened.

what about ultra/muta to fight voidray ht composition ? muta are fast and can be microed to dodge the storms + they regen fast. I feel like hydra ultra is don't efficient at all due to hydra blocking way too much the ultras...

if you keep going mutas into the lategame, you will probably be facing a pheonix based air composition, not voidray

No muta don't fight mass voids very cost effectively imo and it's just not that great as a counter to templar/voidray either. Swarmhost/hydra/ultra is a much much stronger composition vs voidray/templar.

Thanks so much for this blade, great guide! (as always)

One question about infestors, when you're using them with SHs and hydras vs toss, what exactly are you doing with them? Is it fungaling to root the whole army in place, chain-fungals on the voids or throwing down ITs at big engagements?

Thank you SO much for this. Haven't been keeping up with HOTS at all since beta, and thus had no idea what the current meta for zerg was.
What you preach is worthless, your worship defeat the purpose, like president Bush taking bullets for the secret service.
