Game 6 (Zerg / Tal’darim Alter LE)

Build order / plan

• 12 drone for scout (4 player map)
• 14 gas
• 13 drone for scout (2 player map)
• 14 pool
• 16 lord
• 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

Early game went ok.  Money got a little bit high. Scouted roaches, reacted by making own roach warren and skipped evo. Made 2 spine crawlers.  Saw roach+ling push coming, made 3 more spines, but too late. Really struggled to hold of the first wave. Used drones and roaches to hold it off, lost a lot of drones and felt behind (looking at the replay we are even in drones). Held off a few more attacks with two new spines and roaches. Pushed out with hydras and roaches and took a 3rd and destroyed his 3rd. I should have attacked and killed him, because I was 50 supply up. Waited waaaaaaaaay to long with attacking, then he had infestors and broadlords and crushed my 200 army easily, he pushed and I left the game. All and all, the early and early-mid game was good, I took a commanding lead.

What bad thing happened?	What’s causing the bad thing?	What’s the adjustment?
Money got little bit high	Forgot second inject	When building drones/lings from first inject, do new inject
Didn’t kill him when I got the chance	Thought he had a bigger army	Scout the front / army when pushing out with ovy or ling
