I’ve been playing Terran lately - man are those long games compared to my original race of Zerg.

Happy new year!

Lurkers best Zerg ground unit

good video, love it <3

3rd game - get another base!

The 2nd game - drone up the expansion and after you cleared out the stuff up top either build 4-5 spines to cover the ramp or lair to worm.

knockoff of starcraft

Man get queens!!!!

11:50 the Path of the Nydus is full of cheese, my friend

Stealing gas against a Zerg is just stupid.

When I find a new build order I make a custom game in the arcade, where I pick a ladder map, add an easy ai and practice the build until I do it perfectly. When I mess up I just restart, it takes like 5 seconds to set up the game again. I’d suggest finding a build on youtube - there are plenty guides by Lambo, SortOf etc. I wouldn’t dedicate my time to making and practicing my own build - I know that no matter how much time I’d spend on it it would be garbage compared to actual build orders, but that’s just my approach.

You keep getting stuck on roaches. You had the spire, but did a whole massive round of roaches. Against a few oracles - roaches are fine, but once you saw multiple carriers need to move to air units. The guy was a douche bag with the last comment especially, but the original “?” was kind of justified. More roaches with carriers is a question worthy move.

Why didn’t you go 2 base mutalisk? You had the lair and he showed roaches.

Stop building roaches.

Stop roach production, build 100 drones and a spire as soon as you see early fleet beacon, get flyer carapace upgrades and spam corruptors, do a timing attack with as many corruptors as you can when 1 carapace finishes. This should hit before storm hopefully and when they have a lower carrier count and can trade really well. Afterwards you need to immediately tech to hive, second spire for double upgrades, a couple vipers, and eventually range lurkers and mass spores

Tl dr; make 100 drones asap and hold off making corruptors and make some ultra too and keep them small

2:51 you can make your opener tighter here ; you can control the unit ralley and the drone ralley with each hatch I tend to use my drone ralley to the base to be saturated next and hotkey both overlords ; prioritise the task of making buildings before you stare and do nothing watching units; also you pull off gas at 88 for 100 using camera locations you gotta set up and ralley the natural larvae on 27 to the third not double overlord Then your goals are simple ; scout Protoss for a two base which case you drone 34/40 drones max and double gas roach warren or lair against dt build Otherwise get a three mineral saturation asap usually 4:30 is possible Then you can take a fourth and gas During this you can make four to seven creep queens as your minerals begins to float ( starting production around 40 supply) The other thing to know is when to put back on gas Against twilight its first inject goes to drones on gas which is around 3:30-3;40 or against stargate you want second or sometimes third inject ( four minutes ish ). The difference is a 4 minute or five minute lair on three bases.. if you scout this fleet beacon around four minutes ( 3:45 to 4 minutes is the gateway or tech timing for Protoss ; seen by scouting natural gas and third possibility ) the answer to fleet beacon is very nice… you can go nydus queen roach and drop creep for mass queen ravager on 5 gas 60 ish drones or you can rush infestation pit for ultra and infestor and later nydus ; or you can rush corruptor to smash their air on 8-10 gas Another option solar and dark use that Lowko copied is 50 drones hydra rush with first inject back on gas - 5 gas hydra and baneling bust Finally the other option is to max out around 6:30 on ravager roach ling with five gas 63 drones and a fourth against this and just laugh because you have armour and easy spire transition

Merry krismis :) been enjoying your chill vids and commentary. Down to play some pick up games or co op or whatever on sc2 or sg I’m bad tho 😅

Thanks for the analysis! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?

Glad to hear that my backseat gaming was not unwelcome. You pulled gas (3 drones) at 96. Might as well let it go to 100 and get ling speed. It also makes lings attack more quickly. The moment you saw the mothership you should have morphed overseers. You lost too many corruptors to the cloaked tempests too often. You were starving for gas because you took gases too late, and you were too tied to your roaches. Lings scale better into late game (with adrenal). And cost no gas, which you needed for corruptors. Instead of an infestor you could have tried a viper. Parasitic bomb will damage cloaked units and/or force them to move away from the mothership. But yeah, airtoss is tough.

Game 2: you had gas leftover on the first bust. If you are baneling bust, morph all your gas into banelings. Or you could have busted them earlier, when you had less gas, so they had less army to begin with. You need to get some of the Terran economy with the first bust. Otherwise you are on equal bases with a Terran; so behind. On the second bust you had enough to start a 3rd and a 4th hatch before attacking, you had more than enough minerals. It's always good to couple expanding with attacking. If you are relying on banelings for actual attacking and not just busting you need baneling speed. Once you saw the push you were too slow to morph units. You could have more lings and more banes; you went for hydras while they didn't even have their upgrades up.

(I hope it is alright that I give feedback in youtube comments. If you'd rather not have unsolicited feedback, just tell me and I will stop). On the first match vs P: You didn't pull from gas so an early evo could have been started right after the lair. Ling speed was also a possibility - roach-ling is better than pure roach, generally you want to have heterogeneous unit compositions against Protoss. And speedlings are great reinforcing units. You prioritized starports but it would have been better to kill the pylon first (so no void rays can pop) and then the starports. Your ravagers could try corrosive-biling those voidrays, they were sitting ducks most of the time. You said you needed gas but then you had a new base with 2 geisers that you didn't put extractors on top of. You knew carriers were coming so getting carapace would have been a good idea. In this particular case hydralisk/corruptor would have worked better. Did you start air upgrades at all? Hydras target the void rays, corruptors target the carriers. Shroud would have been great in this match, they had no splash of any kind. You could have used speedlings for runbies, you needed gas and their main had no static defense. Rally them to their main and let them do their thing.

You were lucky that your opponent left the door open on their main wall. Still very fun to watch 😊

Hello! Have you heard that 15 overlord is actually faster than the 13 overlord wjen playing hatch first? What do you think of trying it

I think if your opening was on point your hatch would have been down before the probe arrived. Also your 2nd overlord should watch over your second base to look out for cannons. It was good instinct to build the base in the next location, you just need the overlord to spot. It’s annoying for sure but the higher up the ladder you go, the less of this bs you will encounter.

Yeah canon rushing is tilting. Getting blocked and having to expand on the third is annoying. Protoss puts adepts between the main and the third and they are so annoying. So I open 15/15 (Erik’s opening, PiG has videos about it). That way they can’t block my natural. The second spore trick drone goes to the natural and patrols, looking for canon rushes. If I see a pylon, 4 drones attack each structure, 2 drones attack the probe. I keep patrolling because sometimes they send two drones. There’s ways to recover from a cannon rush, but the best way is spotting it and killing it with drones before it grows. Good luck!

What was the point of rushing out that first batch of marines with the tank if they weren't going to attack with it?

Ok so the first mistake was the early lair. Baneling bust is done without speed. Ling speed, bane nest, morph 5 or 6 banes and go. It’s expensive so you need to get on top of the economy with your lings. Banes are there to break walls yes.

Yay I’m special! Let’s bust!

Yeah I’ve been watching the game on the side. COOP is insanely fun though in the mean time.

Cool commentary I liked it

Scouts with the upgrade are actually still pretty decent against hedgehogs and make a good sink for excess gold. Admittedly, their combat utility goes way down once Vulcan production comes online but Vulcans also slow the enemy army down considerably and they're still good at creeping so it's not a complete loss on a larger map.

never heard of it, looks like interesting game

I do enjoy watching people play while they explain their decisions. It's something completely out of my reach, it feels similar to trying to play the piano while having a conversation at the same time.

Oh this is interesting. I can more or less bust a Terran depot but Protoss is impossible with that stronger wall. You pulled too many drones against the canon rush and none was targeting the probe. Still, you defended well

えぐwww

no fighting til 11 minutes? wow.. boring af

such a fail game lol

Idk if you want all these tips but I got another one. Build more queens in ZvT and ZvP! Make a queen in your natural at 32 supply and one in your main at 36-40. I also make a habbit of making overlords at 32 and 36 supply. So 32 -> overlord -> queen in natural ->2 drones -> overlord -> 2-4 drones -> queen in main. The extra queens help a lot with defending early agression and spreading creep.

Your first overlord goes across, in front of their natural (on top of a pillar ideally so that it doesn't die right away). It will path over one of your 3rd base locations. The second overlord you should send to your second 3rd base location (on the map you lost to proxy rax this was the linear third base, where the proxy went down) and then queue it to go outside your natural. You will scout most proxies this way. Your response with the drones was good up until you started chasing off creep with slow lings. I also think as soon as you see a bunker going down it's not a bad idea to throw down a spine in your natural. Even 2 if that makes you feel safe but no more.

My ZvZ build, works for me in D2 13 overlord Pull a drone the hatch hatchery at 175 minerals 16 hatchery 18 gas 17 pool Rally next 3 drones to gas, if you have APM to spare rally 2 to gas and 1 to minerals and pull 1 from minerals to the extractor as soon as it finishes to get ling speed asap Dont spend the 19 and 20 larvae, wait to see if they aren't 12-pooling you (if they are you will need to make lings of of them) 21 2 queens, 1 overlord, 2 lings Put the overlord in front of your natural ling speed @ 100 gas Make sure to inject ASAP Make drones until you have around 6 drones in the natural Pull one drone from gas to make the bane nest @ 50 gas From this point pump out lings and move out right before ling speed finishes Make banelings in front of their base but outside of their vision. Ideally you should have lings and banes on separate control groups and rally the ling eggs to your group as soon as you make them. You should hit with a ling bane flood before 4:00 and absolutely blast anyone below diamond. glhf!

The best defense against a 12 pool starts with a crisp build order. 13 overlord, 16 hatch, 18 gas, 17 pool - the golden standard. You have to send both of your first overlords through the map, the first one towards their natural, the second towards the third. Overlords should path along the same paths that lings could take to get to your base, so that you can identify it's a 12 pool ASAP. You should save your 19 and 20 supply larvae, because if they are 12 pooling you will need it for extra lings. Greenbox all but about 6 drones and make a control group. When their lings start attacking your natural attack them with your drones but pull back as soon as lings target them. Make only lings and attack (use drones too!) only once you have the numbers advantage. When they back away mine with the pulled drones from the natural, get ling speed and observe if they continue to commit. If not, macro hard - you should not be behind if you did'nt take much damage. Good luck! Edit: actually, here is an excellent guide by Lambo: th-cam.com/video/wtEdllRaI4s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Ks02IYmwOr2pGDfN

yeeeei

I confess it was enjoyable seeing you struggle through this. The raven part in particular! No wonder you didn’t know it existed, you are Zerg and Terran never, ever build ravens against Zerg

Hahahaha dude this is the speeding timing push. Deadly in zvz and pretty strong in zvp. If you don’t scout it you don’t defend it 🤣. Nothing you could have done

you could have made a wall on your natural and put your spines behind the wall. and pull off gas obviously, or make banelings.
