ZvT Update Standard Opening (ZvT Economic)

Description

Game Plans: +1/+1 Roach Ravager all in. At 66 Drones (3 Base), mass roaches and ravegers, attack when +1/+1 and roach speed is done. ca. 7min and 180 Supply

At 66 Drones (3 Base), 4th base, start hydra den after lair, mix in hydras, up to 80 drones ok, attack +1/+1 and when maxed out, constant trading when maxed out again, OR start infestation pit with hydra den, lurker den, hive go up to 80 drones 4 Base and 8 Gas

At 66 Drones (3 Base), 4th base, infestation pit right after lair, then hive, +1 melee / +2 carpace, 80 drones, 7 gas, ultras with plating and attack

Vs Mech Mass Swarm Hosts Vs Battlecruisers can hit after 05:30 Mass Queens and wait between main and natural, add corruptors, Vs Banshees add Hydras Hit with same timing

3rd CC Timings (In general 25% More Eco is save) 2:30-3:00 - this means the 3rd CC was built before the Starport. They will either add extra Rax or ebays next. If you can hit before 5:30 with a big roach ravager attack you're gonna win quite often.

4:00-5:00 - they added extra barracks before the Starport. They did this for safety. Expect some Starport pressure but keep macroing or go for a later bust.

6:00 or later - they're going for a big attack or risking a big drop off in economy. Get ready to defend and if nothing comes they've just dropped the macro ball.
