cancels bane nest (self) - DISCUSS

Builds roach warren

Spots roaches coming from opponent, soo retreats

keeps lings alive for scouting, threatening backstab and denying third. comes in super useful once natural completes! (drones ahoy!)

26 supply (3:01) takes natural, build drone& send to minerals

Build drone& send to gas

Full 1base, 1gas saturation

Roach production

Drones after hatch completes (~6 roaches)

Queen after first 4 drones

Lair

Evolution chamber ~55 supply (15 drones on nat minerals)

Second gas, drone back up to 16 on minerals, 3 on 2nd gas

Resume roach production

Takes third ~12 roaches then continues producing roaches

Gets caught at third with lings, uses them to suicide scout

Scout on soo's third baits opponent into attacking

soO already knows the angle of attack and that the attack MUST happen

ZvZ is too volatile and revolves around the third

Pre-positions roaches, keeps them moving for perfect concave

Analysis

Great example of production stages. Clearly offense early, clearly gains advantage of +1 base. Uses pre-existing units to secure advantage by droning extremely hard ASAP on only 6 roaches. Then switches out into mass roach production again. Simple strategy, flawless execution.

The all-in portion is probably best viewed in video format ( available now courtesy of Polygon Gaming) for visual execution tips and tricks.
