Hi Blade, I'm very fond of ZvP upgraded ling-centric builds and I wonder if you would add a section about them in the new guide you are preparing?

Btw I'm very looking forward to put my eyes on it! Thank your for the hard work.

I have a new guide written, tbh I don't remember if I put that style or not in there, I am going to say I probably didn't and might add it after releasing. I'll think about it I never play it so I dont' think I wrote it down.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Hopefully very soon just have some clarifications before I officially release it. I would like to do it this weekend, but we shall see where that leads. I will not go any later then next week though for sure.

Thanks Blade, we are so looking forward to it

I hope you can teach me how to deal with this 4M parade before I rip my head off of frustration

Day9 Daily 613 Life vs Jjaki sets you up for an attack at ~11-12 minutes with a bunch of ling/baneling and gives you a chance to win/put the terran way behind before all of their production kicks in that fuels their 4m parade.

I know this, but thanks. Problem is, it precisely "gives me a chance", and unless I do creepling damage I will fall behind in upgrades without having accomplished much. It's a cool strat on some maps, but as soon as the 3rd is easily defendable (say, akilon) I can't do anything... Maybe I am not doing this right. When I don't commit to the attack it has no chance to hurt T's economy, if I do I will grind units while he's getting his tech and then suddenly he will push with a (smaller) force but like 6-7 medivacs dans start dropping me and I just dont have the tech to counter him and my tier3 upgrades will ve much more delayed than his.

actually you get +2 +2 (just rewatched VOD: life starts it instantly after +1 +1 is done so even before his attack!) with it so you dont delay your upgrades at all + since you wont have gasheavy mutas you even are able to get IP + hive for +3 +3. but yes without doing some damage you will get a problem since you cant kill medivacs and if he manages to get up to 10+ mines you will have an even bigger problem.

imo the best way to do it is to do the first attack, reinforce it and after the reinforcements decide if you can kill him or not. if not: 1 round of drones, get 4th, 5. + 6. gas and IP + some spores for drops.

from there: either ultras or some SHs or infestors or mutas depending on map, damage dealt etc.

I'll try, but how do I attack against well defended 3rd bases like the one one Akilon? Do you think this strategy is still viable?

well life did it on belshir but i pretty much do it on every map with good success. if they dont have tanks its definetly possible to also do this on akilon. if you see massive defense...just contain them a bit, get your 4th and SHs which are very awesome to defend 4 bases on akilon pretty easily. akilon has a very big area in front of the natural so its not easy to break your contain.

but its definetly easier on maps like belshir or whirlwind where you have an entrance to the natural and 3rd. but remember that lifes push is designed to gain the momentum and not let him get the 3 base rally with mass WMs rolling. you dont need to kill him. if this gives you breathing room to get a 4th + hive + denying his 4th thats pretty much all you need and its exactly what is so hard if you play the standard 3 base muta instead of 5 hatch ling bane of life.
