EPTInfestation pit first is the most flexible lair build.
Nydus worm >>> baneling bust.
Edit:
Also, carpet bombing with overlords while armies are engaged makes you a winner.

I don't think he will experience many people specifically targeting banes. If he will start placing them everywhere and not just in spots that terran will obviously scan then he can single handedly change standard terran build orders, making them go for faster Starport and Ravens instead of anything else that is gas heavy, like Thors. Or make Terrans going for faster Thors leave their base significantly later. Burrow can be researched simultaneously with morphing Spire and be done once first mutas are out so I really don't think it can only be available only when it's too late. And about that ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/0OkRd.png) What has happened to Lalush demanding more micro?

Who knows, those arguments might hold true, although I personally doubt they will. We’re entirely missing the point arguing in such a way though. Why in the first place should we be accepting that Starcraft II is regressing in to a more primitive form than its predecessor? Isn’t this, after all, the sequel, as opposed to the prequel? How does Dustin Browder explain the fact that air units in SC2, the sequel, suddenly regressed and lost their ability to maneuver while firing? Is there perhaps a disturbance in the Khala? Start demanding more out of Blizzard! I implore you all not to settle for less than you deserve. Let’s at least demand that Blizzard put the micro back in a game that was already robbed of its macro! In the game where that screenshot was taken he did the same thing wrong - he burrowed too many banes in too obvious spots. And I am disappointed that after so many months, "takes a korean to play proper zvt" is what he has to say instead of simply showing off his supposed skill in a way available since the beginning of beta! | ||

 just kidding obviously, what I mean is, believing that your race is weak can bring you to train SO hard that you not only overcome any (real or imagined) weakness but become a way better player than if you'd just stick with standard-strats you know will win you the game 60-70% of the time | ||

It seems pointless as they often do little or no damage, but it actually has a profound effect. It's very very difficult, if not impossible, to beat compositions using tanks, hellions, and/or marauders effectively. Later on you can baneling drop, but in that middle portion of the game it's not as practical because you'll be pressed to have enough ground forces AND enough banelings. Plus a marauder heavy army wouldn't be affected significantly by baneling drops if microed well. By making a spire and a few mutas Fruit forces his opponent to make units that shoot up. Otherwise he can just continue to make mutas and win the game. I've definitely fallen in that trap before when opening with infestor pit. I'll win the first few battles/harass with infestors, but eventually he can just focus so much on core ground to ground units that your ground army just loses out. By forcing him to have even a bit of marines or thors you really soften him up. | ||
