Ok I had to come back and say this. The aggression of this build combined with my macro only play style… GOT ME TO DIAMOND FINALLY!!!!!! I tweaked some stuff based off experience and optimized this to spend better and have macro follow up. But wow. Something clicked and broke me out of a rut with this video and these builds!!!

Super helpful, thank you so much. I will work on this build this Christmas season. Bioweapons 4 lyf!

Yeah and that is a big reason why I get you to stay on 2 base. You can't really be messed with, so you can do the same style every game and get some consistency in your practice.

Great build, I remember back when I was playing SC2 like 5-6 years ago, I was doing the same variation but with Roaches~

I went from Plat 3 to Plat 1 within 2 day. Thank You!!

My friend been watching your protoss videos, glad that you have some zerg too, we're trying 2v2 but I still think I'm out of sink with him regarding timed atacks, or defending him for a carrier rush. We managed to reach platinum but my terran and Zerg need a lot of improvement. Love your videos just this haha, thx

Thanks Probe!

Just found this video - a great change from standard macro, macro, macro! As a middling plat zerg this build really gave me the feeling that there is an aggressive option there once 2 base saturation hits. +1 Hydras with upgrades at 6-7 minutes are surprisingly good 😃

Just letting you know, I have not played for 10 years. I was maybe gold when I left. Coming back, with this build, I am now in Diamond 3. I practiced just the hydra variant 10+ times on vs AI, and then hit the placements. I had to adapt it several times due to a bunch of protos cheeses, but the outright agression of this slammed through. This is an excellent build order

Hello mate, such an amazing tutorial for rookie players, could you please create similar video on how to transistion into middle - late game? I find this build really useful,however if my attack fails later on I don't really know what I should be doing as a zerg. Big shout-out again man !

@ProbeSC2

Yeah there isn't really a transition (because if you are in a league where you could transition, you should really just win with the push anyway). But yes I will be revisiting a zerg build order as this one can be a bit limiting.

Love the absence of insane pro level shit infobloat (i saw some other video start off with REGISTRY editing... Im sorry guys i go outside sometimes and play other games, bruh). Sounds like good, and more importantly understandable, stuff for newbies like me.

Why is it 20 overlord? You can push to 22/22 with drones then as soon as the nat finishes you get supply to make the queens and links then OL at 28. I am asking as a noob with zerg, what am I sacrificing or risking by not getting the OL at 20?

Just keep the 2 queens at the front and use the zerg lings you build to stop them from diving the mineral line. The queens should tank the hellions damage and lings only engage when the commit on creep.

Diamond definitely isn't noob level. It shows a great mastery over the game. But the simple things you need to do to get there (which still takes a lot of practice) I think are achievable for all.

At 2min time mark there could be a reaper rushing towards your base, how can i defend that?

@ProbeSC2

Жыл бұрын

When your queen finishes the reaper pressure should be held. Before your queen finishes, first 4 zerg lings buy time. If it's a short rush distance map, you may have to learn some drone micro (where you build a gas or spore crawler when the drone is attacked). But this is why having a tight build order is most important. Gets the queens and lings out on time.

Yeah I agree with that, in the sense that it is for beginners, but not for total newbies to the game. Nothing in this guide should be that confusing, you can take it slow, rewatch it as much as you need, and ask any questions that have stumped you.

Roach hydra is far more powerful than ling hydra. I prefer hydra anything over ling bane. Everyone plays ling bane. I strive to be different. Instead of just the attack upgrade grab the defense one too. +1 +1 roaches destroy at 6:30. It's not an all in. You are wrong. Send the attack and transition build your 3rd add hyrdas go for +2 +2 timing attack with roach hyrda. Add your 4th add the hive. Go to late game army. Any build can be an all in. At any point in time of a game.
