    PvP is the most boring combination.

    Also, I'm steadily working my way up the ladder, should be in Diamond soon, given that I haven't played anything less than a Diamond in my last 20 matches. Anyone interested in doing some practicing? Feel free to add me: Zennith #872

    Fuck yeah, Platinum. Workin' my way up there.

    Wish they hadn't taken losses out of the profile screen. I'm pretty sure I've had more than a 50% win rate for the last few weeks, and I'm kinda curious how my stats are working out.

    All about Zerg. I just find the other races boring by comparison.

    I've loved Zerg since I started playing Starcraft when I was seven or eight.

    But playing as Zerg is stressful as hell to me. Whenever I'm against Protoss it feels like I'm waiting for them to make a mistake, and if they don't, I'm screwed. I really need to figure out how to do things in late game, because right now Protoss Death Balls just destroy whatever I have.

    Learn how to use infestors. Bring corrupters for collosi, and broodlords late game.

    Also: mutas for harassing. As a zerg, you have to be on the move. No waiting around and pooling your army bullshit, attack with what you got, and keep up the pressure. Zerg can make units far faster than any other race, so use that to your advantage.

    I was just about to say, all about infestors. I go most games without ever building a spire, tbh. All about drop and nydus play - also position lings for counter attacks when the deathball tries to move out. Honestly, I usually make more infestors than most, but I find that they're so useful both for harass (try dropping them in opponents base and then burrowing - works depending on the map) and for defense/offense that for me they've easily become the most important unit in the game.

    Infestors are gold! Two or three of them within your strike group can mean the difference between victory or defeat.

    I do miss the old Defilers, though.

    Defiler? Hell no, if you're going to bring back any Zerg unit from the original or BW, bring back the Lurker...

    Tried out Zerg but I just can't seem to get the hang of it unfortunately, spent a week trying but just wasn't sticking. Switched to Terran as Protoss just... no, it feels wrong to use forcefields and Colossi with my mutual hatred of them.

    Also match for TSL 3rd place going on currently, HasuObs vs Kas, Kas currently up 3-2, BO7. - http://www.teamliquid.net/video/streams/TeamLiquidTV

    I have a hard time moving out and attacking as Zerg. It just feels like Protoss or Terran will always have tanks or colossi that'll deny the harass completely. Versus Zerg I'm happy to attack.

    Tried out some infestors in a ZvT I just had. When he marched in with his army, I just fungaled the entire thing with 6ish infestors from the high ground. After that just macro'd to Brood Lords.

    The moment he saw the Brood Lords he left the game. I'll never get to use them.

    Zerg harass consists of Mutas & if they have enough AA, drop-burrowed Infestors really works well if they're not paying attention though I guess it all comes down to the League.

    If you can get away with it, fungal growth annihilates workers.
