There ain't nothing wrong with roaches. Massing them still leaves you hurting for air defense, because you often have to tech slower because of it.

You shouldn't be getting too many roaches until you get the lair anyways though. They're nowhere near as good as they were with the speed upgrade. If you have a lair, roaches in front+range hydras in back is just about the most deadly thing a zerg can do midgame.

p.s. can someone link me to a free stream?

Drewbie just needs 3 or 4 more barracks.

 

[Majine]

Marauders. Marauder's everywhere. :lol :lol

 

[Morbid Angel]

Drewbie is clearly copying Cella's "make 13 gateways" strategy.

Was that somekind of a trolling attempt?

 

[Pandaman]

Huks deathgrip was insane.
he survived 4.5 base of mm... insane.

 

[Mairu]

I can't believe he managed to take that

 

[niz]

That was crazy. :lol

 

[Vaporak]

Wow, Huk <3. That was an amazing defense.

 

[TheThunder]

Just catched the last 5 min of game 2, wow at those 20 barracks

 

[Majine]

I'm a relative noob to this game, but that was the best thing I've seen. So intense.

 

[HolyCheck]

 

[Pandaman]

man how cost effective must colls be versus rax, drewbie drained 3 bases, a gold and half of his 5th while huk still had 3 mining bases.

it occurs to me that drewbie wont be running out of expos on this map.

 

[Majine]

More racks!

 

[Wallach]

Poor droobs.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

*fist pump*

 

[niz]

GG HuK.

 

[Won]

I saw some Ghosts there. Drewbie can be a very creative player!

 

[HolyCheck]

<3 you too djwheat

 

[alba]

The ghosts were a nice try but damn, HuK was just crazy good in defense on the second map and just killed it on the third. Such a good game!

 

[Mairu]

Any other SC2GAFers play Nexus Word Wars? Instead of actually practicing the game I've been spending all my SC2 time playing it :lol

I can't help it, I love typing games

Dear god yes. This generations typing of the dead.

 

[JasoNsider]

That game with the 20 rax on Steppes of War was incredible. We need a re-cast of that on youtube for all to see. Totally agree that nobody but Huk would have been able to hold that off for so long. Wow!

 

[IceMarker]

Happy Halloween fellow US players! The Shadow Assault Arena Beta ends today! Get a few matches in before I take it off the map list until final release!

 

[Deadman]

Zerg is really hard.

 

[Boken]

I can't tell if that's sarcastic or not.

Being serious, needs way more apm than i currently have to work properly.

 

[Pandaman]

I can't tell if that's sarcastic or not.

yea, clearly zerg doesn't have anything as complex as 20rax marauder.

 

[zoukka]

Zerg is really hard.

Hardest parts are injections and the droning pace. With Terran and Toss, you just keep making workers, but it's harder to have a "clue" how much you need drones during the game.

 

[HolyCheck]

yea, clearly zerg doesn't have anything as complex as 20rax marauder.

3 Hatch Roaches.

 

[Pandaman]

3 Hatch Roaches.

nah, +1 range is op, so roaches kill anything now.
as we saw, 20 rax maraudersdood can lose.

 

[Boken]

I agree, knowing when to drone is definitely the hardest part of playing Zerg. It takes a lot of scouting and intuitive game sense - at least compared to the other two races. I see a lot of lower league Zergs just make army units as soon as they can which probably holds them back. And that's totally understandable as the other races can make units constantly too.

Injections are hard too, but that's just mechanical. Getting the timing correct each time + remembering to just requires lots of repetition.

I am pretty bad with injections (they need to make it more obvious), not wasting larvae (which happens when you have more than 3 larvae for more than 15s), and building enough overlords. Spreading creep too. Augh.

On a side note, so much ZvZ on the ladder recently!
