In general, try to skip units after the 14 lings. | ||

The only time I wouldn't bust is if I thought he had WAY too many tanks, making it a complete slaughterfest for Roach/Ling/Bane. Against a mine-heavy defence, sacrifice a few excess overseers to take a few hits then gogo! | ||

Do you have any stream clips of doing this in the recent metagame? I've tried it against Masters level players, and it just seems to not work at all anymore. | ||

I practiced this build for 4 days. At first it was just tons of games with no opponent, then against progressively harder AI. Though it wont be Cheater Insane, i can only beat that with super greedy play. I spent that time perfecting my drone production, overlord timings, evo timings, gas timing, ling micro and tumor production. It has gotten to the point when a missed single inject has a significant effect or my 2nd Attack. I used to wonder how many builds Koreans use that they practice over and over, i now know they must do builds like these. The timing is so strong for it to be just a simple macro play It is something that has to be planned and executed to perfection for maximum efficiency. When i used it on the ladder after being able to do it in my sleep, one guy said that i had to be cheating or i had 4 bases because i had so many units (60+). I don't know how you go about creating these builds, build optimizer? Either way, if you could design something for zvz or zvp that would be amazing. I know of your early attack zvz build but if there is something a bit more like this where the attack a little more layered, and macro oriented (with the ling zvz build i find it can get shutdown really efficiently today) . Im a very mechanical player that loses a lot due to the strategies of my opponents. So you can imagine this build is very liberating for me as it allows me to attack and macro at the same time. Since learning this build i have yet to lose a ZvT!! btw terran players, a single tank wont save you from this build. I easily took out a players who had 3 tanks sieged with one on the high ground that also got taken out. I lost all my units but i killed the natural (almost all scvs), rest tank count and widow mine count, and was saturating my third while 16 lings were at home waiting to defend a possible drop. | ||

True, but usually they don't scout this sort of play properly and have no means to scout your lings running across the map. 50% of the terrans I encounter in diamond have their supply depot down when I directly run into the main (which you should at least try) because the time between seeing the lings and lifting your depot is 1sec at most. Terrans have to be really really quick with this. | ||

Your build is really helpful, I melted several Terran who tried to all-in me with it. Do you have something in the same spirit (agressivness, adapted to lower league) against Protoss ? Thanks a lot. | ||

But what's the optimal response if you arrive at your opponent's base and you see this: ![[image loading]](http://i39.tinypic.com/5yap2t.jpg) This was on Frost LE, and a 9 drone scout saw him walling in his natural. In this game I just droned up instead of the first barrel, knowing it probably wouldn't work, which allowed him to do his hellbat drops. I wonder if I should I have tried to bust the front anyways. How would you respond? | ||
