Defiantly recommend to any low level players. As tang said its a great build to get better at mechanics. Murders lowbies/10 EDIT: Ofc if you manage to miss zergs Banelings, just camp your lings outside and try to detonate them. Works most of the time and results in a free win. | ||

You can undercut barrel two with hellbat drops, which start at 715 or so. A hellbat marauder medi midgame into marine production at the end gives you enough to hold barrel two, even without tanks or mines. Doesnt seem productive to open pool first to me, especially to power an initial attack that shouldnt do damage. Tang's first barrel comes well before standard hellion timing, unless opponent hasn't started his CC, in which case you don't need to do damage to be even. Just use speedlings to deny hellions ala Life. | ||

You're making Zerglings behind this until you feel safe to Drone your third, so drops really can't kill you if you're attacking at the correct time. You should just play a really safe/aggressive mid-game style. I'd look at the replay, and see if the steps leading up to the bust were timed right. Also see if you continued Zergling production after the bust, you may have switched to Drones too early. So basically you say you keep producing units while you push out, rallied at home and set to a different control group? Yea, that might work... | ||

Always, at least 16 lings. In fact if he dropped anytime before/during the roach/ling/bane timing, I would continue producing lings. The lings clean up his drops, the push does extra damage because he has less units. And you have the option, after defending the drops, of going for another ling/baneling bust. | ||

In one game i think snute opened in way that he could have done the tangs second barrel, but went for 2/2 instead. There was most likely some metagameing, responding to game state behind this, but i think learning when this is good idea to do may make the style lot more solid. | ||

One question though- I watched your recent game vs. Diord, so maybe you covered this in some other replays- but your army doesn't have any AA. What happens if banshees and ravens show up? Would you throw hydras in the mix since they benefit from your roach Evo upgrades? If you're higher level you should be able to determine with high certainty whether he will have a serious air commitment with the first attack as you get so much scouting info. | ||

Well I usually prefer the Melee/Carapace upgrades because I go Ultralisk/ling/bling, so Hydras wouldn't benefit from the attack upgrade (though you could mix some into the composition). In all honesty, if Terran invests in air before your second barrel, he should die to it. In the later stages, since you're going infestation pit anyway, I would recommend Infestor/Queen defence against air. Some players also get a Spire with the Infestation pit after the second barrel, and any combination of Mutalisks/Corruptors/Infestors/static defences make it easier to deal with Banshees/Drops/Ravens. | ||

I would have wanted to get roach/hydra/viper, but I didn't have any range upgrades. My actual response of rolling tons of banelings into thors was pretty disastrous. As a related question, do you press on with the 2nd barrel if they have tanks? You can still go Roach/Hydra/Viper even though you got +1 Melee, just get +2 Carapace/+1 Range as your second round of upgrades. You can usually take a 4th and Drone harder (past 70) against Mech as well. As for whether you should go through with the 2nd barrel against tanks, it's situational but I would say most times yes, because most times you'll still do equalizing damage assuming the attack arrives on time. If you're a bit late and see tanks and you're a bit unsure, you can always pull back and Drone up. | ||

Also, I was looking at one of your old guides on DRG's slow roach / slow bane / speed ling bust here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=344272 Is that still viable? | ||

If Terran doesn't do a ton of damage in he form of mid game pressure, any decent Zerg will win the game. Is every Terran build that relies on massive 3CC mid game prssure a cheese then? | ||

Im sorry but if you think that's mutas primary role in standard fast 3CC vs Fast 3 Hatch muta/ling/bling, then I don't think yu have a very good understanding of the matchup. Game 7 GSL Korea Finals Innovation vs Soulkey. Did Innovation build zero turrets? Of course not. He realizes the harass potential of mutalisks, hence the forced turrets. Mutas don't even clean up drops. They secure map control over Terran. Mutas simply have an added bonus of killing the medivac very fast, they don't actually do the killing of the dropped units. | ||
