Analysis

From here you either Drone your 3rd or Make Army depending on what your scouted 3:30.

Scouting TIPS:


ZvP - 3rd Nexus around 4:00 to 5:00 = Safe to drone 3rd and take 4th after

  • Lots of Gates = Timing Attack Soon
  • Robo With Gates = Enemy plans to play Heavy Ground Army = Play Ling Bane
  • Twilight with Gates = Planning to attack with upgrades = Play Roach Ravager
  • More than 1 Stargate = Planning to go Skytoss. Hit them Early = Play Hydra Corruptor

ZvT - 3rd Command Center around 4:00 to 5:00 = Safe to drone 3rd and take 4th after

  • Lots of Barracks = Bio Based Timing Attack soon = Play Ling Bane
  • Reactor on Barracks = Expect Drops = 2-3 Queens in each base
  • Tech lab on Barracks = Expect Stim Timing around 6-7 Min = Split army army Bases

  • Lots of Factories = Mech Based Strong Mid Game = Play Roach Ravager

  • Reactor on Factory = Hellions Soon or Mine Drops = 2-3 Queens in each base
  • Tech Lab on Factory = Expect Tanks and turtle Terran = Play Roach Ravager Muta

  • More than 1 Starport = Battle Cruisers = 2-3 Queens in each base Get Hydra Den

  • Reactor on Starport = Expect Drops = 2-3 Queens in each base
  • Tech Lab on Starport = Expect Banshees = 2-3 Queens in each base 2 Spores in each base

  • Tech Lab on Factory with lots on Barracks = Tank push around 7-8 Min = try to catch them before siege


ZvZ Base Count is first Priority, use first Lings to scout this. You need the overlords to scour the natural and out front his base exits

2 Main Scouts: - 2:00 Scout for natural - 3:30 Scout for Drones and Gas in Natural

1 Base = You noticed this with the first overlord - 1 Spine + 1 Bane Nest - Make Ling Bane don't drone your 2nd

2 Base but no drones = You should expect mass lings - Wall off natural with bane nest, 2 Evo's, and Queen on hold position - You make drone until you see the lings leave the base - Play Ling Bane

2 Base with drones and 2 Gas = 2 Base Muta - Get 2 Queen and 2 spores in each base - Play Ling Bane Hydra

2 Base with drones and 0 Gas = 2 Base Timing Attack - Can help have Upgrades +1 Ranged preferably +1 Armor if you have the gas - Play Ling Roach Ravager

3 Base down Make a few Safety Roach/Banes and drone your 3rd and take your 4th after.

If no 3rd Base by 3:30 expect army very soon

This is intended to be used for players Platinum and below. Once you are Diamond you should learn a real build. The Opener might look very similar to how this other openers if you are going Economic, But there is more to do after the first 4 Min of the Game.
