Vitensby vs Mazeltov on Typhon Peaks - A 3000 point, #6 in his Diamond Division.

General Build Order:
9 - Overlord
13 - Hatchery Fast Expand
15 - Extractor
16 - Spawning Pool
20 and 22 - 2 Queens at both Main and Natural
24 - Banelings Nest
Spam Zerglings and Make 5 Banelings

Tips and Tricks:
Scout at 8 supply.
Scout at 6 minutes
Scout again at or before 8 minutes.
Wait till 6 minute mark to research Metabolic Boost ( Zergling Speed) just to make sure Terran is actually going for this strategy.
If the attack does not come at the 8 minute mark, create an infestation pit and make one infestor. this should be enough to hold off any 4 Barracks attack.
Then transition to Infestor Ultralisk Zergling or Mutalisk Infestor Zergling/Baneling

hey vitensby. ure awesome! keep up the good work. how is your daughter?

[TheStarcraft2Dude]

@pedroholly Shes keeping me super busy these days. Already reaching for the mouse and keyboard. I might just have a gamer girl on my hands haha.

I'd transfer some drones to the expo just for the few minutes before he attacks. I heard having 8 at each base is better than 16 at one.

[TheStarcraft2Dude]

@x3ICEx What you heard is most likely correct. If you have 2 drones and 2 extractors, it is more efficient to have 1 drone on each extractor then 2 on 1. Applying the same rule, it makes sense. Thanks for sharing the tip with the community :)

[Brionkendo]

this is great.. .and the reason i subscribed to you in the first place

[TheStarcraft2Dude]

@Brionkendo I will be releasing much more SC2 strategies very soon! I have a great match lined up for you guys. Its a nice long game against a 2400 point Terran Diamond player. I'm not sure what to call it yet but its a good one, maybe something like How to Beat Hellion Harassment. I should have the time tonight to record.

@Myoldnamesdontwork Brutal Computers gain more minerals than you do, they gain 7 minerals everytime a worker returns minerals, whereas normal players only gain 5.

[LordBeoulve]

Yea but what if your in bronze and people are rushing you and your doign this build what would you do you dont have your spawning pool and you cant get it in time or if you pull your drone off the line and thay die what do you do?

[Myoldnamesdontwork]

i was playing against computer brutal on skirmish mode. i found that when i was still in the process of expanding and building a spawning pool the computer already has 5 marines they are attacking my expansion before it has even finished...zerg is way too costly early game! 250 with a lava for spawning pool and 350 with a lava for expansion total is 600. terran 150x2 300 for 2 barracks...

[stike96]

Lol, I do exactly what you said not to do and normally mass beinling. Won't do that anymore now :).

[JoePlummer543]

What about when they DON'T send their scv's first like an idiot?

@ShiroKado Ever heard about ActionJesuz?

[MrGrizmint]

@RidleyPwnsU cause do you know why? alot of people in the masters league is a joke... im talking about 1v1 master league. team master league are trash... they cant hold off a double 4gate..... in 1v1 master league, some of them do some retarded strats. but im pretty sure anyone over gold league can hold off a 6pool. and without proper scouting canon rushes are harder to fend off .
