I don't play as Zerg either, but I've seen it done effectively. Check out this video BlackAdder Send a noteboard - 01/09/2010 03:13:51 AM
Zergling: These units have been seriously crippled. Adrenal Glands needs to be buffed big time, Zerglings quickly become inadequate right now.

I have to disagree with this though. Zerglings are good against basically any unit (except maybe the helion) if you can flank them and get a surround. Zerglings will destroy siege tanks, Thors, etc. really quickly.


If you've got SCVs auto-repairing the Thor, then the Zerglings have to manually shoot them down before they can hope to achieve anything, and Siege Tanks kill Zerglings in droves until the next patch. Sure, if they're by themselves they'll get surrounded and killed by the Zerglings, but why would they be by themselves? For Terran, Marines, Hellions or Reapers can render Zerglings largely ineffective, and those are pretty cheap units to mass.

Drop banelings on infantry and drop zerglings on the tanks and thors. That solves the problem of getting in range :D


Isn't flying a bunch of full Overlords into range of Thors and Marines suicidal?

I don't actually play as Zerg, so I might be completely lost but that sounds very risky :P.

Not as often with zerglings, but definitely a lot with the banelings. Check out the linked game for an example (you can start watching at 2:15). The commentary makes it infinitely more epic :D

Have you seen the patch notes for the upcoming 1.1? Zalis - 31/08/2010 02:15:43 PM 1409 Views
I swear, I posted a pretty lengthy reply, but it's gone now *NM* BlackAdder - 31/08/2010 07:59:01 PM 723 Views

Agreed on the queen. The corruptor remains awful. Ghavrel - 31/08/2010 09:25:08 PM 1069 Views
I generally agree BlackAdder - 31/08/2010 10:44:20 PM 1242 Views

That is where the Overlord drops come in handy BlackAdder - 01/09/2010 02:10:03 AM 1143 Views

That was a great move! Fanatic-Templar - 01/09/2010 03:24:46 AM 1340 Views
Yeah the roaches made a huge difference BlackAdder - 01/09/2010 07:42:46 AM 1217 Views
I'm only familiar with Zerg and what annoys me as Zerg, SO. Ghavrel - 31/08/2010 10:12:48 PM 1223 Views
Tried Zerg once or twice in coop games last week. Any advice for a Zerg noob? Zalis - 31/08/2010 10:36:28 PM 1134 Views
Queen per hatchery. Constant spawn larvae. Expand creep constantly. Ghavrel - 01/09/2010 07:53:27 AM 1167 Views
The thing about the Zerg in Starcraft 2, is that they're a very reactionary race. Variant - 02/09/2010 09:12:16 AM 1287 Views
Thanks for both replies. The Queens + larvae help tremendously. I'll work on the rest. Zalis - 02/09/2010 08:41:24 PM 1134 Views
Have you experienced the new Reaper based openings? Fanatic-Templar - 01/09/2010 02:07:40 AM 1149 Views

Also, wraiths are worse than useless BlackAdder - 31/08/2010 10:49:17 PM 1176 Views
I really only play the campaigns in single player mode, so my experience might be a little different Cannoli - 01/09/2010 12:54:07 AM 1373 Views
Marauder... expensive? Variant - 02/09/2010 04:30:47 AM 1179 Views
Re: Marauder... expensive? BlackAdder - 02/09/2010 05:21:22 AM 1050 Views
Well, we've got Force Field, Hallucinate, Psi Storm and Feedback, so I'm not complaining . Fanatic-Templar - 02/09/2010 07:04:39 AM 1096 Views
They're handy in team games. Not so much in 1v1. Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 07:35:10 AM 1177 Views
In regards to Infested Terrans Variant - 02/09/2010 07:48:36 AM 1284 Views
It's slow as all hell. Fanatic-Templar - 02/09/2010 08:02:51 AM 1190 Views
It depends... Variant - 02/09/2010 08:34:53 AM 1189 Views
The Raven is excellent, but in my opinion it's really expensive. Variant - 02/09/2010 07:31:38 AM 1249 Views
Yeah, the ability to do all that while burrowed is really great. BlackAdder - 02/09/2010 07:42:22 AM 1120 Views
You can? Crap. In that case, I need to start using it. *NM* Ghavrel - 02/09/2010 09:33:17 PM 556 Views
Yes... press the hotkey for burrow and then the key for parasite (very quickly, but in that order) BlackAdder - 03/09/2010 03:39:38 AM 1127 Views
