I find that glhf stuff annoying, especially when people come on around and start saying "Am I the only one..." being a martyr about something what isnt essential and probably no one cares about.

true :)

You dont even play 1v1 you just play custom game. Also amount of games played is irrelevant.

Well I am in masters league now, so whatever :D

I have recently used something similar to this on ladder to great success, but with the addition of burrowed banelings. Do you have any comments on this addition?

Yea, it sounds good :), can be a game changing, if you blow them in a right moment :).

Thanks man, I used this tutorial before but I forgot to say thank you.

Added strategy against meching terran and changed a name to "complete tutorial" :).

Thanks man, this helped me a lot :)

A very nice tutorial Libik. From a terran perspective I can't say there is anything I dissagree with.

I don't like the way you deal with mech in particular, especially not if you've already gotten +1/1 for your speedlings. The only mech that really works wonders seem to be Banshee mech with double armory anyway, so the main mech army is delayed till at least the 15 min mark. This means you don't have to spend gas on roaches at all, and can just use evo-chambers to block the hellions with some spines behind to deflect them off. What I'll generally do vs mech is just keep on adding queens, dumping all my gas into infestors asap, and get 11 min corrupters+hive to deal with the banshees and incomming mech push. Since I don't make roaches I can easily afford to block even relatively large areas with spines/evoes. I don't like trying to make somethign happen with roaches while his banshees pick away at my forces. It feels awful being on such a timer.

Note: Don't do the above vs mech where the Terran didn't invest into cloaked banshees. Without the banshees the Terran can be ready to move out as early as 13 mins. Against this kind of mech I'll often transition into ling/roach drop play. Scouting which kind of mech it is remains vital.

Keilkan - thanks a lot for the post, I have never seen this as deeply as you from the terran perspective... Terran doesnt mech usually, so I dont play against mech often and I am not too much experienced in this.

Thanks for sharing this with the rest of the starcraft community. I'll definetly take some advice from this.

Are these strategies still viable now (14 oktober 2012, patch 1.5.3) for a platinum player?

Sure, especially first one (against tank + bio), it is very easy to execute even by low-league players.

Most terran in my league play mech so I'll analyze your mech replay first, thanks.

Not sure about the massive infestor play. Doesn't seem a solid build to play over and over to get good at playing against mech. I don't understand how you knew to build a roach warren because you only saw 2 hellions.

Libik, thaks a lot with this tutorial.

Please make a tutorial vs. toss as well like this one. I think a guide against immortal heavy or colossus heavy mid gaming toss will be very useful for many zerglings like me out there. Also I would appreciate a guide that includes a late game case a mamaship is present.

Thanks,
