I built 52 Drones --> 3 Spine Crawlers and defended Game is vs Puck Yeah, this is not the build I'm talking about, your game is against a build with a quick third and more robo tech. Much less of an all in then the one I'm talking about. the one I'm talking about just gets a single prisim, glaves, eight gates, no third, and then all-ins with just that. Hits at 5:40. and then he just warps eight adepts at a time over and over. Protoss goes up to 41 probes, 2 base mineral plus three gas. I was thinking before that I had to drone my third or I get left behind economically, but I asked about it on TLO's stream and he said I could just defend without droning my third ( basically matching the protoss worker count ) and considering he keeps making adepts and I keep making roaches, I should hold until he has to take a third because his main mines out and then I can move my drones to the already existing third, beating him on econ and then denying his third. So, I'm guessing 41 with 9 on gas should work. | ||

I'm diamond, so my answer isn't the ultimate one, even though ZvT is my best match-up so far. I use hydras in this match-up, but Roach Ravager is better if the Terran relies on marines and liberators. Tanks can be also taken down with the biles, but if he have too many of them you better transition. If the terran goes for many Marauders, mech units like thors, or heavy medivacs then hydras do better then ravagers. I usually start with a Roach Ravager composition, and transition accordingly. Many times a Roach ravager hydralisk composition do well in the mid game, and in case I have a spire a few corruptors are good to have (they take the medivac count down, and help dealing with the liberators). This composition can take down a terran in the mid game, but it depends upon what the terran is doing. For example, a planetary or lots of tanks will make me shift to hive tech and go Brood lords first and prepare the ultralisk transition. | ||

Hope it helps anyone wanting to improve their ZvT. I didn't need it exactly but I've been trying it out and it's really good. | ||

Also, when playing Hydra lurker ling against protoss, is it recommended to transition into ultras? A lot of the counters to ling lurker Hydra are bad against ultras. | ||

If you get ling speed, sure get a 3rd. You use Queens and Lings or Queens, Roaches and Ravagers to defend. The ideal counter would be the 3 Roach Opener. Mass Immortals are godo vs both ling hydra lurker and ultras, so no going ultras is usually not the best idea. | ||

If you go for an early third, Do you have time to fully saturate the third before the 3rax hits? Or is the third hatch purely for larva? (Can you safely saturate 2 bases? In zvp, why are immortals good against ling lurker Hydra? don't lings and hydras counter immortals? | ||

And no Immortals simply don't die and destroy both Hydras and Lurkers very quickly (as long you have chargelots / archons to take care off the Lings) | ||

Just slow the third hatch down a bit and your good to go Because Immortals are OP as shit that's why, theres a reason they stomp face in all 3 Protoss match ups. | ||

Roach/ravager/corruptor does well but when terran turtles you cant really throw away your advantage and then you need some sort of aoe, but im not sure to go with fg or parasitic bomb, both seem to kinda suck and then terran just turtles hard and gets up a crazy raven or bc or whatever ball that's indestructible. Hydralisks if he goes for Vikings instead of Liberators. | ||

Have any of you guys encountered the 2/2 ling play in ZvZ? I feel like muta play rocks roach play but it doesnt seem to fare as well against 2/2 lings. I'm thinking the best way to deal with it is to get your own ultras out quicker but haven't been able to do it yet. | ||

If you have a large pack of lings, just hold position over the worker line and it'll evaporate. If it's a smaller group, queue up on workers and they'll all work together to focus fire each worker down really quick. Generally the opponent will have defense back so you kinda need to focus fire in order to kill the workers down before your lings are killed off to be most efficient with your given time. | ||
