Any protoss who does a forge FE you can try to proxy a hatchery in their base. Even if only 1 larva is spawned from the hatchery it means they have to deal with a burrow roach with no stalkers for a long time. Or they pull 4 or more probes early on to deal with a proxy hatch. Or they build cannons and you can just break the front. I had a lot of fun with this.

That's the idea.

It's more annoying because it can be more cost effective and lasts longer both of which buy you time at home to take your third, Drone, and/or tech regular roach rushes can be shutdown fast and hard by opponents who prepare well with this I believe even if they do burrow forces out mobile detection before they can ever think about doing anything.



yeah, but instead of just randomly burrowing your units where ever they happen to be, would be more to your advantage to burrow in the places where he'd want to wall... then you wouldn't need to tech to anything else and be able to kill him with speed lings...

Genius. if you can keep his wall open speedlings are the way to go. what I'd like to see is what happens when you get scouted and transition to a defensive footing. ie, he throws down another cannon and chronos out sentries while building up to a gateway push. are there good ways to utilize burrow for a defense while plaything from slightly behind?
Teching to hive too quickly isn't just a risk: it's an ultrarisk

Hey Cajun, props to you for coming up with this build and providing the videos. Nice to watch from a lower level zerg... I'm going to try these.

Maybe not optimal rush but who cares? The beta is all about trying new stuff right? GG

...Cool but this is not really something that people wouldn't be able to figure out on there own lol.

I'm sorry but I really don't like it when people do a build that probably 75% + of Zerg's are going to be doing or trying at least once by default due to burrow being at tier 1 now, and then name it after themselves for the sole purpose of trying to grab attention...Why is it whenever someone does a build that has already been done and is not even that creative, they feel the need to name it "My build" , then post there stream link.

gl hf but just because you do a build doesn't mean YOU invented it or it is YOURS, no offense but there is too many people saying a build they did before on ladder is 100% theres and created by them. gl hf gg

Hey guys few people wanted the exact build here is one of them and I will do video on it!

(taken from one of the ZvP games they change slightly with each match up very slightly)

14 Pool
16 Hatch
16 Ovi
16 Queen
20 1st Gas
2nd Queen when the first one is done!
and only 1 set of lings when ovi pops
with your first 100 Gas get burrow
@5:30 get your Roach Warren
@5:50 2nd Gas (2 in this one)
get a few more drones bout 6-7 at nat and get to bout 54 Supply total for room for roaches add 1 more if you add more drones)
8-10 roaches soon as your RW pops and move with at least 8 together.

After you start the attack I drone behind it take the rest of gases (remember to add 3rd to 2nd gas) and either go muta or expo and play from a more normal infestor style(or w/e depending on matchup)

I'll watch all these when I get home from work . Data allowance on my phone is running low sadly !

Towards the end of WoL I was trying a 2 base roach push with speed and +1 , I got it down pretty well , got around 12-14 roach out pretty dam quick (can't remember the time) and all the timings (+1 and speed) matched up nicely.
Now though with early burrow I did the same kinda build but with burrow instead of +1 , it won me the match (ZvT) , but I'm thinking now , burrow movement , would be better than speed maybe , could add the element of surprise and sneak up on any tanks , with a lair 1st you can also get an overseer out for widow mines , problem is keeping reapers at bay till then .... Hmmmm lol.

Fking live HoTS , so much testing to be done !
There is gonna be some seriously random shit flyin out in matches for a few months

Gogo zergs !

Definitely agree with you that these roach pushes are great openers, and burrow is such a nice upgrade. Your Burroach ZvT is very similar to the build I use, going to be a lot of fun to play with
