Strategy Zerg - Baneling bust

[Bloodcount]

Build Type: All In
Skill level: Moderate
Build pro’s: You can kill your opponent in the early game
Build countered by: 2+ bunkers
Most powerful in: Early Game
Most powerful in (League): Diamond and below, although it works in masters as well
Match up: ZvT


Basically the idea is that you will bust your opponent’s wall and flood in with zerglings


Basic Build Order:
• 10 Overlord
• 11 Spawning Pool
• 11 Extractor
• 15 Overlord
• 15 Queen
• 17 Zerglings
• Continue producing zerglings, overlords and inject Teh Larva! ;d
• When you have 100 gas, get the metabolic boost upgrade
• After that get a baneling nest asap and save gas
• Morph as much banelings as you can (usually 6)

When they are done, move up first with them up the ramp, then flood in with the lings and claim a quick victory.



Tips:


• Don’t be stupid- send reinforcements
• Don’t forget to inject larva
• Deny scouting
• Consider getting an expo to fool your opponent



Example follow ups:
• If you haven’t expanded, you are screwed
• If you have expanded, AND have done a good job with killing at least some SCVs, drone hard and get spines. Play like you would a normal game



This build prepares for:
Zergling-Mutalisk-Baneling style
Tier 1 style


Screenshots:

Spoiler

Deal with any aggression that you must face. After the attack, reinforce and claim the game. Remember, the banelings go in first and destroy the supply depot.

I saw Idra use this in an MLG game (I think the one sev and vest casted actually). You may want to check that out as it wasn't really an all-in but helped him claim an easy win with the damage he did.

We casted a game between Losira and MMA

Losira did do a baneling bust, but it wasn't an all-in variation.

Hmm, maybe I mixed em up. There were a lot of zerg games on metalopolis that tourney

The non all in baneling bust is a style of play which I am going to cover as well.

After each race has at least 1 macro opening and most of them have at least 1 style of play (actually I think just toss has currently) I will make a decent number of all in/1-base builds for every race. Why ? They win points at every level and they crush at the lower leagues and after all, the ones that need tutorials are players new to the game, who are usually not high ranked ^_^
Also they give you a basic understanding of the game : )
Also whitesock, if u happen to watch any games casted/reaplays of styles/builds I've covered, then I will be grateful if you send them to me, so I can maybe add them as media to the tut.


EDIT: added screenshots.

Fixed, though you may want to check the smiley in the Build order section as I think you might have missed the shift key

 

[Bloodcount]

Nah it can stay the way it is now ^_^ Thanks soo much. The next batch is coming sometime thurs-saturday (it will add screenshots to the 6/8 gate as well)

Just a couple things that I notice you do a lot that would be good to fix.

-It's should, not shloud

-It's match, not mach

-It's geysers, not gaysers

Besides that just make sure you are consistent with unit names and such. If you say zerglings in the beginning, but then switch to lings later on, and then back to zerglings, people may be confused as to what you're talking about.

Thanks I will try to make less of these common mistakes : )
