1 vs 1 Lost Temple
Here is one of the startegies I used back in the day when I was very good at melee.
9/food overlord
14/food pool
13/food gas
14/food hatchery
Here is one great startegy that gives you a lot of money and a great start. From there you can go hydra/ling or hydra/muta.
Muta harrasment is very good once you know where the enemy's heavy defenses are.
Comments?
Good job beer, I would of have thought kow was going to win...Nice strategy also.
Thanks, I used to be one of the top ladder players when BW ladder was more popular than mapping. I remember I used to have a legitimate(like everybody else) ladder rating of 1700.
When SEN was down for a month I decided to go melee for a while and I went to play with the World Pros in some 1337 Sc Melee site. I don't remember the site name but I had like 3 strategies posted up there.
To all who haven't seen the replay yet, if you want to better your zerg look closely at my money, workers and food. Compare them to Kow's and you will see that waiting a bit for more money instead of rushing defenses does pay off.
I couldnt gauge the effectiveness of that build order, seeing as how the terran played a lazy mans game. I mean, two rax before first depot?

Yeah, When I invaded his base with mutas I kinda went like wtf. He had 3 missle turrets close toghether in one tiny space as if he was expecting me to attack. Guardians would plow over those easily and you all know mutas work best against tightly packed units.
When I sent that first wave of attackers I saw that rax and bunker on the cliff I said this was going to be a long game.
He built a factory but didn't use it.
Built an ebay and I never noticed any upgrades.
I didn't want you to see the entire game, just the strategies I used.
Lol, I dont play Regular melee much, and i suck at terran too, Im much better at zerg... it was fun though. (and my rush strategy works on some people)
Haha, These are some nice strategies going on.
I can't imagine you being a top ladder player with going hydra/ling and hydra/muta.... wierd..................................................................
Problem with hydra/muta u need almost 3 geysers because u will run out of gas to keep a steady flow of units.
unlesss ur awesome, lings and hydras aren't good together.
power hydra, muta/ling, muta/ultra (late game), muta/ultraling/darkswarm.

Beer_Kegger, i would like to play you sometime.
Yea, Me too, That would be fun, Even though I would probally lose.
Aight you both are on, just meet me at clan uUu throught this weekend and I'll prolly be there.
Not on saturday nigth because I will be on mapnight.
The thing is I don't go mass mutas. I just get whatever is suficient to know out his drones efficiently and fast.
Then I send my mass hydras wich will plow through a bunch of stuff.
BTW: Back when I was one of top ladder I was way way better.
Ah, just saw the second game and it was pretty much one sided towards Keg. If Kow had used more of his minerals on some hydras then he might have been able to fend off the attack. And why didn't you save your lurkers, Kow?
Yeah me and kow discussed both times after we played and I explained to him why I won. The first time his build order was out of hand compared to the few minerals he was getting.
The second time he used a strategy very similar to me in the beginig but he suddenly sunkened up and cost him some valuable minerals. Even though he expanded before me, he should've have waited a bit to have some spare minerals in case something went wrong which did. Evolution chambers aren't that effective in early game because you could get a good 5 units out of those resources. I went toward his peons with my mutas and that marked the end of the game.
Instead of rebuilding his economy his rebuilt his defenses which finally got him.
