A TvZ Daily with great insight on Overlord/Lurker placement in a very tight game against a TvZ expert. Day[9] examines utilizing fast tech switches for both players as well as harass and timing pushes for Zerg.
You must play in a 4v4 w/ your team where each member selects only ONE unit and may only build that for the duration of the game! More importantly, you units must be publicly announced for all to see!~ Mwarharharharhar :D
Everyone knows that "Build Orders" are essential, but often they can be intimidating and confusing. How can I follow this build order if I don't when when I'm being attacked? If I don't know what his opening is going to be? What if I mess up!? In today's daily, we simplify the notion of build orders by creating simple groups. As our skill level rises, we break down these groups more and more and more until we have a crisp and refined build on par with the best of the best!
Last week, we discussed the notion of simplifying general build orders! As expected, the masses of Zerg buddies leapt to concern! "What about our precious race," they cried! Have no fear, for today we're going to talk about all things build order wise for zerg. That pesky drone/larvae mechanic will be NOTHING to fear in the future! By the end, you should have a comfortable idea of how to steal or create your own build!
A ZvZ cast is FAR overdue, and this replay is FAR to good to overlook anyways. Traditionally, ZvZ is viewed as a fairly boring matchup. However, recent developments have showed some VERY clever long-term and dynamic choices to really open the game up: fast infestors, faster 3rd bases, mutalisk based play, nydus worms etc! All of it helps make the gameplay staggeringly awesome :D. Stephano vs Sheth is a great example of a modern, nutty ZvZ with an emphasis on late game and macro :D.
Dealing with absolute crazy zerg play!
LastShadow is an undersung foreign player with an enormous wealth of talent. Today we examine his very well executed TvP style: from the 6rax opening to the midgame follows ups, and finally how he manages the end game! :D
