For some reason when I download the replay pack, it doesn't appear to have a file extension.

So can you share some thoughts on HotS? I will definitely watch the replays, but can't do it right now. Are you playing some old styles? Some new? Are you using Swarm Hosts and Vipers, and how much? And how do you like HotS so far? Thanks!

And happy new year everybody!

Is there an alternative way for me to save replay packs that would make it easier for the majority of people?

If so, let me know - I could always get Monk to do it on TL, but him creating one every time can be annoying

Set your folder/item options to show file extensions. This will ensure when you upload it will have the extension and others will be able to download it with no issues.

If that doesn't work let me know and I'll troubleshoot it for you.

First, an introduction. I am a top 16 Grandmasters zerg (with as many as 3 accounts in the top 16 at once, peaking several times at #1 Grandmaster on the North American server). I have attended multiple MLGs and have many online tournament results. For details, check out my liquidpedia page here:

If anyone has any questions on the current replays and/or requests for different builds in certain matchups (I will execute the build, save the replay and post in Replay Pack #2), post them here.

I am thinking that I will be releasing 2 packs a month - once every ~ 2 weeks. However, if interest is high, I may consider releasing more.

Thanks for the attention! Let me know if I can help you out with anything!

This is a weird request, but if you happen to lose vs skytoss, can you post reps of that for the less zergy of us?

Skytoss isn't very effective - however, of the games that I lose, the protoss player turtles on maps where they can defend 4 bases on 1 choke and cannons up. Keep in mind that you should also be teching to high templar - once protoss gets up a sufficient number of high templar and air units, there is next to nothing zerg can do to win an engagement (so base trade only real option)

What would you say (from a zerg POV) is the most effective way to play PvZ right now?

Well what he said was pretty dead on. Try to turtle and be defensive while getting voidray/tempest/templar. I don't think a zerg army will ever beat that composition and like glon says is the scariest protoss composition.

Zergs goal is to try and stop you protoss scum from getting there

i'm so envious of you guys being able to beat this style. i am so confident against every other style, idk what it is. on this beta the oracles and air units just really mess my mental up.

In standard games i normally use roach hydra macro but i have found these units to be dead supply virtually against this composition. i have tried to rinse and repeat with just maaaaas corruptor (moving them in from side angles) but i just cannot kill anything. nothing from the army dies. I beat two EU Gm's yesterday morning in macro zvps where i took some dmg early on, and then i sign on to HOTS and lose to low masters massing the new air units .... is there honestly no way to beat this army? IT eggs can do it in theory i think but I am interested in what you are saying about base trading. i never tried the base trade style against this except for maybe a few games because they have air units and that seems kind of hard to win in that scenario,, i would appreciate replays as well. i saw your game vs dragon on star station (base trade, very weird), and i wanted to say bravo and thanks for a good thread (glon)

ITs can't do it anymore since they don't get the upgrades, and massing Infestors vs. a lot of Templars and Tempests isn't really a good strategy, especially that Infestors shouldn't be massed in HOTS at all. I doubt it that anything can beat it in the Zerg's arsenal(for now). It seems that you have to destroy the Protoss before he reaches that composition, and I would say that Zerg got a lot of things he can use to do that. Things like drops/Nydus/Mutas/Swarm Hosts etc. I just feel like it, I am not a pro, so I could be wrong. It also depends on the map a lot.
