a simple zerg build

so I just recently started playing this again, but here are my
tips for zerg play base on mechanics on 1v1 ladder that I have
learned over the years
1. at the start of the game, I always do 3 set of hotkeys to
start off. 4 for all the spawners, 5 for the all the nest, and
6 for the hive. This will come helpful when you need to micro
and macro at the same time instead of clicking on the minimap
and wasting that few extra seconds.
2. Identifying which terran is actually competent.
Terran - 1 gas - I would just ignore them and focus your micro
on others
Terran - 2 gas - depending on how they position, those that use
a wall to aggro your units to their 1 marine, I suggest hold
till you have about 5-6 units then Shift + A on the refinery (
after that shift + A again on that area so they focus their next
task)
Terran - 3 gas - they will use a wall to aggro your units to
their 1 marine, do same suggestion on terran on 2 gas. Those
that take 3 gas will always lose 1 no matter what if you
actually Shift + A on the refinery and do some microing, if you
aggro to just attack to that area, they will aggro the marines.
3. Que a drone, at 200 mineral, build your first spire then 4
strikling. do a separate hotkey for the strikling and rally to
hold at a location. This is where you will use your first set
of group hotkeys for units, use these strikling to flank terran
without a shock, there are plenty of terran who builds a 4th
marine instead of a shock, punish them.
my plan is always central towards one side and not middle. I
will focus most of spawners on one side, middle and the other
side I use hydra and infestors for support.
key notes **
** T1 marines lose energy like a mofo, when they kill your
initial spawners, build slowing spawners to replace them, they
are good meat shield to drain the T1 marines energy.
** creep is your best as in zerghex as it is in ladder. They
provide vision on the minimap as well as a speed boost. The
speed boost is godly no matter how you look at it.
** always spread your hydra and put them in hold position and
ready to attack. Hydra has high DPS, if they form a good arch,
even T2 can't kill them, when they stim, move back, wash and
repeat.
to be continue...
