Day[9] Daily #313 - ROOTSlush special

Zerg's power units vs massing units

It's all about larva: drones(workers), power units (a unit getting some of to by more time or build more drones) cheap on larva, massing units (high numbers of dumping a lot of your economy into.

Expense on larva, if you need a lot to spend a lot of money (zerglings expensive on larva, ultralisks are cheap on larva) - I'm going to defense this attack with 20 zerglings or 5 roaches (being larva-efficient)

The difficulty of when to begin massing units as zerg and when to return back to drone production.

ROOTslush(Z) vs Phoneix(T)

  • 15 hatch, 14 pool (skipping extra drone), overlord on 17
  • Aggressively sending drones by to mining when dealing with a bunker rush
  • Doing the "0 larva" stuff (Queens and spine crawlers) and getting upgrades early
  • Over-production of zerglings with multilinks, while continuing to make drones

[Q&A]

  • If you are going hydralisk and roach does this massing still apply?
  • What is your opinion of the Muta/Ling aggressive style vs. a turtly toss?
  • If nothing happens when he builds all those units for aggression, does he fall behind in any way?
  • How can Zerg measure effective macro?  Other races can use constant production, but how should we?

Day[9] Daily #310 - Pinning your opponent on a build


Today's daily we go through 3 games and see if we can identify what our opponent has based upon our limited information - pinning the opponent on a build.

[replay]

  • idra(Z)v AbuseYourDNA(P)
  • Morrow(Z) vs EmpireKas(T)
  • NEXTShampoO(P) vs oGSTheStC(T)

[Q&A]

  • Recently I've lost the drive to play starcraft, do you have any suggestions to reignite that spark and help someone get back into starcraft after a short break?
  • I've been having a really hard time dealing with super passive zerg's who just build tons of spine crawlers and queens for static D, what is the best way to take advantage of the map control that they are succeeding?
  • How do we read Zerg? We don't exactly have unit producing structures... what would you sagest if we can't see Zerg tech?

 

RT @weapongod30: @day9tv That's because audio isn't so important when you forget to enable it in your dailies. :>

Order of setting up new computer: graphics drivers -> SC2. Oh yeah, then audio drivers.
