 ) --> I have a question to ask regardless..Why do you guys say that the Widow-Mines aren't good vs Ling/Bane ??, and say that those are good vs Roaches only ?? Kinda think that the mines are good vs those all, or if anything - maybe weakest vs the Roach, so - the other way round IMO.. Don't get it.. | ||

As a fairly weak lower-league player guess won't help me too too much, but I'm a random player that plays fairly equal all the 3 of the races, so pretty sure I'm not biased overall (unless weakening the builds that I lose frustratingly to like some gay all-ins at times ) --> I have a question to ask regardless..Why do you guys say that the Widow-Mines aren't good vs Ling/Bane ??, and say that those are good vs Roaches only ??

Mines are great vs everything in a macro game. When the zerg is going for an aggressive all in or attack, mines are only useful vs roaches. If they are doing a ling or bling all-in they can trigger mines with one zergling very easily. This negates the mine at a very minimal cost. | ||

Took me a while to learn when I see a bust coming I have to lay the mines back behind my wall and bunkers, so when he swarms in thinking he popped my mines that they can go undergroundfuckyouface mode. | ||

I think I have one thing to point out though, it would be appreciated if you add another subtopic in the "Aggressive play" section about 2 base Muta rush. It should be relatively easy to deal with if you add turrets and place mines in strategic locations but it would probably help a lot of people out to know this and know when it is safe to land and secure their 3rd against this option. So true, I play with a 2-base low-eco mutalisk strat against terran because if the terran go expo then hellions the marine count will suffer. Generally terran have like 6 marines when my mutalisk hits (9:00 minute mark, pops at 8:30ish). Many terran even in low-master seem perplexed by this or do not take into account so some write-up about aggressive 2-base mutalisk should be done. One common mistake terran makes is to not build turret/s near their barracks so the mutas can pick of units as they spawn. | ||

Yes, exactly this, the 2 base muta style is easily shut down if you build a turret near each mineral line + 1 at the all and 1 near the production facilities, and then put 2 mines near each turret. But this option is still deadly if unscouted and should be included in the guide. | ||

The idea and mindset for this defense is the same as the above. Keep in mind that this will hit a bit later but with more roaches and it is much less all-in for the Zerg. Some Zergs will add in burrow to this attack (both making it more all-in and a bit stronger). Sorry but how does adding burrow make it more all-in? If anything it helps more when going into a longer game surely? | ||

I am trying to get back into the game after 4 months break, and I was just thinking I should try to get both my zerg and Terran back to diamond level. And lol I can't even beat gold leagues terran with my zerg and silver league zerg as terran. Then I read up this build wrote it down and faced a diamond Zerg and beat him while making huge mistakes at the start, losing 2 reapers for nothing I guess playing pure bio mkp style just helps me transition into bio mine style pretty well because of the fast paced micro needed | ||
