Game 5 (Zerg / The Shattered Temple)

Build order / plan

• 12 drone for scout (4 player map)
• 14 gas
• 13 drone for scout (2 player map)
• 14 pool
• 15 lord
• 16 drone
• 100% pool -> queen
• 18 2xlings
• Speed
• 20 drone
• Exp
• 23 lord
• Expo pops -> overlord
• 30ish evo + spine crawler + drones on gas + second gas
• 40ish roach + lair
• Lair done -> 3rd gas

Pre game goal

Get a lot of drones early on and try to defend with spines, queens and speedlings. Then switch into mass roach/hydra, attack/pressure and get a 3rd up. Focus on timing everything and not forgetting stuff, use the adjustments for the timing:

• Take drones from gas when pool is done
• Instant larvae inject when queen pops
• Make overlord when first vomit larvae
• Make overlord when second hatch pops
• 3rd gas when lair is done

Post game analysis

I lost to banelings. This strategy doesn’t work in ZvZ, at least not in short distance spawns. I can’t drone up like I want to. My roaches are too late and I don’t have enough zerglings in the early game.

Benchmark (10 mins)

• Drones:
• Zerglings:
• Roaches:
• Hydras:
• Queens:
• Supply:

What bad thing happened?	What’s causing the bad thing?	What’s the adjustment?
Couldn’t deal with banelings	Roach warren to late / not enough zerglings Scouted it too late	Scout exp at 4 min, no exp = scout main + spine crawler + pool larvae If banelings = roach warren
