Zerg Tricks Everyone Should Know! - Infested Creep Tumor - Zerg Trick #5

[Marinealver]

I miss the parasite spies from Starcraft 1. That was like the Zerg intel. Terran had scanners, protos hade invisible UAVs and the Zerg would bug the enemy base. Well terran still have the sweep and protos still have the UAV but what about the Zerg?

[MirageScience]

your videos are a success because they are amazingly smart, very very nice work

[Krakiz1st]

This trick works pretty good to a protoss player , too ! I saw a zerg player used parasite on a protoss probe and built a Nexus , then the zerg player built his own probe and built a protoss army !! Now you have 2 kinds of army and max cap is 400 !!

[RuitongLi]

Did u know that if u mineC a egg that's making a unit it dies!!!

[ShadyForce4]

burrow a ling?

[strikermovies4u]

hots toss can do this too probably

I enjoy this part.

[yellowriice]

Also good cause it blocks off a queens use of spawn larve :)

[iloveariel98]

hahaha so sneaky

[BossBullWoW]

sick!

[aperfectfailyour]

if its this late in the game that you have a infestor with the already, im pretty sure knowing what they have, its to late....

[MegaDragonWizard]

lol if this is a maphack then observers are too (same thing basicly cuz with any detector u can stop it ) so its just like any other strat that u hope they dont have detect and even they do u can still waste there queen energy

[MegaDragonWizard]

haha nice one... and no i dont think its cheating just a clever use of mechanics.... and yes if u had an infestor in there base u could see all the tech but after it dies its like a continous scout so u can see his tech LATER ON if they dont kill em off

[Linkfanoftheyear]

cool except by the time you have an infestor in their base you should already know their tech path

[GrrrIamMad]

It would be fun to use an overlord to drop a queen in the enemy base and poop creep so he queen can placea a tumor. If enemy is Terran or Protoss they won't be able to build!

[ilikebluebecause]

Oh so, putting a creep tumor in their base is like a map hack? I don't wanna be a cheater

[ilikebluebecause]

Oh so, putting a creep tumor in their base is like a map hack?

[iPorkchoppppp]

thats awesome!

[soMeRandoM670]

i NP queen onetime in game i used to transfues my ultralisk :D eheeheheh then i killed it.

[MsHojat]

1. This isn't a trick in my opinion.

2. It's completely useless. Not only is neural parasite a waste of money and energy in ZvZ, but overseers and/or spore crawlers will always exist by the time you get infestors with neural parasite. The creep tumor will easily be killed by any units plus a detector, assuming the creep tumor isn't killed before it even manages to cloak. It also would be extremely difficult to MC the queen without the infestor getting killed (be it during or after the NP)

[colebusss]

Brilliant idea. Only problem is i rarely face zerg opponents... xD

[LegendStormcrow]

I just found this one out like a week ago.

[izvarzone]

Smart Zergs have overseers or spore crawlers on their base, nice trick vs noobs though.

[jjonjex]

You could just bring a queen to his creep?

[Alxphat]

it's very situational, but good to know :)

[A4moondoggy]

a nice trick but a waste of energy and gas imo as well as taking a huge risk even trying to get infestor in position and not do worker harass. besides, scouting this late is pointless you already know what he is doing. mass roaches, a half dozen infestors, and teching to broodlord.

[VeHea]

cool :) thanks..

[tofuman168]

Interesting trick but largely impractical I think. 1 NP costs 100 energy. If you have 2 infestors in their base with full energy, they can cast enough ITs to take out the base, but doing this would mean 4 less ITs. Also it's much easier to just send a changeling in and hide it behind the lair/hive. Those buildings are so big that most of the time the other player won't even notice a same colored small zergling tail coming out the back somewhere.

[hesbatting1000]

This makes me want to see some "Terran/Protoss Tricks Everyone Should Know!"

[Harken92]

Very genius idea, but by the time you have infestors out, your opponent should have at least 1 overseer, plus I would prefer to fungal growth the mineral line

[HaloSwordKing]

This is good as you can spread the creep to all his bases and see what he has at all times an even with detection they might not notice the tumours.

Oh and for the people saying "why not fungal the drone line" you can do that after this if you bring another infested rather than doing it with 1.

[Toasting56]

@HaloSwordKing Attack move kills the creep tumor if there is detection. It would just be better in general to fungal the workers if a person has this opportunity.

[4o4o4o]

pretty useless idea ...how about geting a ultra to haras his expo - you get a ultra with 100 % hp and attack the enemy expo where there are workers , and you kill as many posable and have vision of his expo !! the ultra cant be killed if he doesnt have units to deal dmg to it !!! :O

[uberjuberduber]

@4o4o4o Assuming your opp is THAT terrible to let you tier up to Ultralisk and have nothing themselves..

[chaff5]

As someone already said, fungal growth would probably be better AND flying your own queen (in an overlord of course) would probably be easier.

[chesmaster2ky]

hehe, nice. Like someone else said, more volume is thx!

[TheStarcraft2Dude]

@chesmaster2ky Apologies for the low audio in this one. Thanks for pointing that out to me guys. This will be fixed for Episode 6 on Monday!

[xXGen3sisXx]

@TheStarcraft2Dude Awesome >< I subbed~ ^^

[jccrosby1982]

Couldnt you just use YOUR queen to put down a tumor a lot faster than getting infestors?

[Random1765]

@jccrosby1982 The whole point is that it is "invisible" to the other player they would need to use a detector to be able to see it.

[ldane]

whoa!!! nice, thats genius!!!!!

[Andres8948]

haha great idea! never thought about that, thanks and keep doing these trick stuff, i like it

[eine1]

SPEAK LOUDER!!!!!

[iSim0641]

@eine1 turn your volume up...

[Mirrorenergy]

You'd only ever need to do this once and spread creep all over his base

[dangazoul]

Would it not be more intresting to nerual parasite workers and create spinecrawlers?

[Ardentzero]

That's kinda cool but it doesn't seem very practical. Especially with how you really want every one of those fungal growths to be used on the army, they're SO good :D

[159blackwolf]

That's so cool!!!

[ViralSC2]

Yeah, I'm gonna be that guy. If you had an infestor in his fucking base I think he'd notice. In addition, why not fungal the fucking workers.

[Pkmnrulz899]

@ViralSC2 Is a tactic of scouting nothing more

[ViralSC2]

@Pkmnrulz899 If you have a fucking infestor in his base you've already scouted it. It's retarded. 

[Florio003]

Interesting, thanks ! But I think if you have an infestor in the enemy's base, you'd prefer to fungal growth his workers, right ?

[XCodes]

@Florio003 Unless the queen goes on a killing spree, I don't think the enemy commander will even get the "your drones are under attack" message, so you can easily do this without your opponent ever realizing, and maybe charge up your infestor after doing this trick and fungal the workers later.

What's more, if you only have one infestor then you're not going to kill the drones with one fungal, anyway.

[TheNatth1]

@Florio003 also, whats the point of wasting ur energy in a queen, inject a creep tumor in the late game (when u already got infestors) and both armies r around 150/150 with several expantions?... i dont get it.

[GhostXization]

@Florio003 or FG his larvas =D (if there are over then 12 larvas) but this guy wanted to show the creep tumor spy in a zerg`s base which is a perfect scout "unit" ,U can see almost everything in his base

[DisguisedNinjas]

@Florio003 Lol. If you have an infestor you should get Infested Terrans (you can shoot out Terrans w/o un-burrowing, giving you time to save your Infestors) to be able to kill off workers (one fungal can't kill all of them) and then focus fire the hatchery.

[strikermovies4u]

@Florio003 nahh

[kibateo]

@Florio003 why not do both?

[fiskaren111]

lol thats very nice

[xCooki777]

Wow, that's pretty sweet. :D

[live2createlife]

Lol, if you used her "Spawn larva" on the enemy hatch, would they be your eggs to?

[x3ICEx]

@live2createlife Can't target enemy hatcheries.

[96Reddevils]

@live2createlife you wouldnt be able to use it on your enemys hatch.

[live2createlife]

@96Reddevils Ah, yes, that does makes sense...

[MrJacobElias]

@live2createlife that's not possible

[outlawX02]

@live2createlife Yes, but I'm not paying child support.

[assaultexe121]

@live2createlife you can only spawn larva on your own hatch

[TheZekei]

@live2createlife You can't... it only works on hatches you control.

[hmongboyee]

@live2createlife Nope, When you parasite a queen, The queen technically becomes your own. If you played Team Leagues you cannot inject your partner's hatchery because abilities of your own units cannot be used on other structures. It's also like trying to repair an enemy Unit with a SCV, instead of repairing that unit, the SCV attacks it lol.

[IBlueFlame343I]

@live2createlife remember that you cant spawn larvas at enemys hatches ;)

[haloheroz]

Nice, must try this sometime

[frozenfisherman]

ooo creative

nice one vits!
