Finally time for a new build order for Heart of the Swarm. It's a little bit different compared to the Wings of Liberty build order, but it is very save all around.

In this episode of StarCraft II study we take a look at Life's Zerg versus Terran build order that he used recently (even last night) in MLG.



If you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to post them in this thread and I'd love to answer them.
Hope you guys enjoy!

^Yep, that's where I got them from. Couldn't find them myself anymore.
Thank you very much for the link.

It seems exactly the same as the standard macro WoL Zerg opener except that you get early ling speed.
(Early 15 Hatch, slightly delayed pool, double queen with a 3rd queen right after, heavy Droning, 3rd at 6 mins.)

I see no consideration of either units to be used or defended against by the build except the early ling speed to deal with the buffed Reapers.

Guess I'm just a bit sad I didn't see a super detailed build like you usually see on TL and was looking for an answer on how Life beat Flash when every Zerg and their mother is complaining about Zerg being the weakest race and Terran being OP again (not saying Terran isn't on the strong side, but usually Zergs are on the losing side of meta changes unless it explicitly favors Zerg like a Zerg buff patch, and an expansion is a giant meta change).

But a good basic video for intermediate players and RTS experts starting SC2.

In that replay, Life actually made three drones after the Hatchery and started the gas at 17 supply.

Ah, didn't watch close enough I guess. He switches it up all the time though, so not the biggest of deals.

One thing about Life's play which makes his style very hard to emulate is the larva allocation. Leenock for example admitted he had tried Life's ling heavy style but failed because he could not copy the ideas behind when Life drones and makes units.

The build order is simple it is just very reactive and only Life knows how to use it.
