Or is that just not viable? If you are going one base, you shouldn't delay gas a lot. Otherwise you will lose against good banelings spreads or mass Zerglings. When you are on two bases you can delay your gas by a bit and defend against Banelings with a Queen block and Spinecrawlers. But you won't be able to move out for a long time and a good opponent will read that and go mass drone without any danger. You will also have to accept that one missstep, one mispositioned Queen or Roach equals insta-GG. It is a very frustrating style to go for and you will get more silly losses than you are worth. Thats why I simply don't delay my gas much in ZvZ, because you have to be dangerous in some way to your opponent otherwise you will get outdroned and outproduced. I guess you could do this if you are sure that your opponent will play a macro based style, but on the ladder that isn't the case 90% of the time so. | ||
