That hot sticky creep spread, baby


Did you see Jaedong's creep spread in the finals? It was outrageously good. But still no match for terran. It proved that really good 4M beats muta ling bane completely, even on creep.

In fact, I was really impressed by the speed of Jaedong's creep spread, and was surprised that I didn't even notice commentators mentioning it at all. That made the 4M attack even more frustrating TBH.


Yeah it was kind of insane how amazing that Creep spread was and Bomber decided to fuck it and attack on creep. It didn't even matter.



JD was pushing creep with several tumors on 5 different fronts.

But you don't let a terran 3 CC 2 engie bay and survive long enough to brag about creep spread.

I always wondered why players don't make 5-6 overseers and disable enemy's production. I hope it might happen with this patch.


Using simple calculations, you need 7 overseers(assuming good timing), to constantly contaminate one production building.

Not worth it, micro-wise or resource-wise. It's only real use is to delay reinforcements after you wipe out an army IMO.
Research: 1. Creep Spread Trick 2. Patrol Splitting Zerglings 3. Multiple Queen Production 4. Organised Creep Spread 5. Select Larvae/Morph Unit Rapidfire

If only 3 CC with a few tanks was punishable.

While overall a small buff, I consider this change great because the overseer gets much more use with speed research. Currently I am always asking myself if I should research speed or rather morph an overseer. Now it is worthwhile to do both quite early. I like to be able to scout enemy bases

Vikings have 9 range, that's a huge area you can essentially block off.
And you can still easily kill speedseers during the battle, it's more a case of being able to catch up quicker with overseers and not constantly having to reproduce overseers left and right.

Fine change, though it would be hilarious if some terran would start trying to catch overseer, thinking it is slower than stimmed marines and ran right into 2 banelings :D.


can we all just stop what we are doing right now and read what this man just wrote.

i truly am grateful some have the foresight for such truly poignant eventualities.

which is terribly ironic considering he plays the race which has the observer.

The thing about maphacks that can make them very strong is you don't know the opponent has them — it's the same thing with observers — an observer that's not moving is extremely hard to notice, and it can be used to spot key positional changes without zerg being aware of what's going on.

Obviously observers aren't spread all around the map or too frequently around the opponent's main base (or army) near the late game due to costs and risk of death, but that doesn't mean it isn't very helpful sometimes still. It's not like overseers are spread around the map any more than observers either I think (although with changelings that's not the case)

Otherwise, good change I guess.

There is nothing "great" about the widowmine anyway.
Macro terran will beat macro zerg with it, because its a cheap "all or nothing" throw away unit.
It´s worse than a tank in friendly fire, and it its just place , and cross fingers.

Remembering BoxxeR caring about every god damn marine in his service makes me sad to watch current TvZ because its all throw away...rebuild and overwhelm with cost effective units.
So terran has become the better Zerg.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

You have time until 2/2 finishes, use that time.

I think this an awesome change and a step in the right direction. Fixing something without buffing/nerfin damage/cost/supply of a unit.

I also really like the suggestion that's on reddit right now. A smart change, not something weird like +50hp Ultras.

http://de.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1l5akz/biomine_vs_zerg_idea/

Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

overseer speed buff is kinda okeish .. its not really big but i this will help
#1 help zerg micro a little better vs widow mines since it is able to keep up with the ling bling a little bit
#2 it will allow mutalisk to scout and harass a little better without the fear of blindy diving towards mines
#3 possible contaminate strategies on robo of toss
#4 help zerg scout better without the risk of it dying

i am glad blizz is thinking of making mech viable so that terran have variaty and possible bio-mech mix

I dont know about 3. Giving overseer speed buff after the upgrade doesn't really make its energy goes any faster. It will still take forever to get 125 energy.
