Starcraft 2 Day[9] Daily #194 - Newbie Tuesday: Drone Timing

In this Newbie Tuesday episode, we focus on the timing of making Drones as a Zerg player. Specifically, how to figure out if it you need to make an army or build your economy at any given time. We look at using scouting info, harassment, and defensive strategies to optimize your economy while not actually dying.

@Axiss360 Hell is a cuss word?

Holy cow. Looking at that first match, I felt I was looking at myself playing Zerg (well...with hydras rather than my usual roaches). I'm slow to expand, I keep messing up my scout attempts, I make units when I don't need to... This really highlighted my problems...

I fall into that panic trap ALL the freaking time. Thanks for the wake up call. Need more drones...Need better scouting...Need...LESS...PANIC­!

So thanks, Day9!

to zerg beginners: REWATCH ANY GAME AND COUNT UR DRONES... #1 LESSON TO LEARN: YOU WILL BE BEHIND ^^

@NickMaovich You have problems with Zerg becuse Zerg is obv the hardest race to play in the game since if you missunderstood one thing that your enemy is doing you loose, if you dont scout as toss or terran you still will have force fields/seinge tanks to defend off any push!

[NickMaovich]

Sometime ago i was just blizzard fan and was playing their games a lot. Then SC2 comes. I found most beautiful race in SC2 zergs, cauz i just like those little zergy cuties. And have struggled with losing streaks A LOT. I haven't just understand how zerg works. 20 drones per game - that was my result. Thank you day9. At last few months i'm playing more stable, but still researching the game, timings adn techniques.Watched this after half a year later - all seems to be so obvious now:)
