I dont know what im supposed to say in this description. Anything i suggest, i should go back an try instead of posting it here. The only thing i would do different is make mutas but what am i gonna do, patrol the map with an overseer to make sure i dont lose them all to a mine?

Specifically im looking for a Build order to follow like the terran did to prevent any loses if that can't be provided then some solid advice i can follow. Bonus points if i can put on some aggression instead of defending all game.

If you wondering why i immediately built spores after the pool finished, it because i have lost many games to gas first factory builds where they just plant widow mines in the mineral line.

Thanks

I didn't watch your replay, but I can say with absolute certainty that you should not be building spores after your pool finishes. I don't see how they could be getting widow mines in your mineral line so early. . . even if they went gas-before-barracks into widow mines, your initial queens and Lings should keep his mines from your workers. I would advise you start using a build like this:

You should be able to get the 8 Roaches out in time to defend any super-early factory play, often with the opportunity to counter-attack.

Terran player here so my advice might not be the best but:

You scouted reactor factory but u make ling speed. you should know that there's a big possibility of hellbats drop since its so popular so should have invested in roaches for that gas instead. Then you build 2 spines and 2 spores which didnt do shit. All u had as defense was basicually 3 roaches who were all out of position...

Have a few more roaches and 3-4 queens to target medivac and u shut this down easly.

The problem im having really is timings obviously. Most zergs knew in Wol 6:30 or around then is a good time to build a spore in each base. I dont know what to expect or when to expect it. I even had someone proxy reactor mines so they were less than 10 in game seconds away from my base.

Well all i can only take you advice and if it fails i will be back with another replay.

Thanks.
