Very well done. Been struggling a bit with Zerg until yesterday when I tried the reaper-hellion into 4M build. That being said it was very rusty and I made lots of mistakes but it was so dam effective it took me by surprise.

Then I read this and thought 'of course...'.

Ehh I'm sure you could find a more creative name than "MMMM" or "4M"
Why not give it one of the cool protoss build names, like the "PartinG CHOO CHOO" or the "HuK YOLO Gateway ALLIN"

Under Roach/Baneling The replay: "TaeJa vs Hyun Set 2. From ASUS ROG Summer (Terran Win)" is actually a loss. It isn't marked loss in the replay pack as well.

Other than that I very much appreciate this guide, especially the detail and vods/replays.

Whoops, sorry about that. I'm glad you enjoyed the guide though ^^

Need a perpetually edited guide of this quality for each match-up, for each race, that is always up to date to the current meta, with the most 'standard' playstyle.

Then I could be good.

These names have been around for almost as long as the composition has been, it wouldn't make sense for them to make up a new name for it.

I like to use widow mines to cover my retreat path. Dart in with some mmm near edge of creep and take out creep tumours. When the zerg commit I run back behind my widow mines line. I find it works better for me rather than to have the mines with your army or even ahead of your army where banes can inadvertently blow them up as they are hitting your bio.

Unfortunately,this isn't really viable as it would take probably about the equivalent of three people working full time to accomplish.
