Analysis

Dont let roach warren get scouted!

Great if your learning zerg, trying to ladder as zerg, or just great as a cheese that is generally good in most situations (in the current meta)

-ZvZ-

Pros

• good against Zergs who take quick 3rd's
• good against heavy queen Zergs
• against quick lair zergs
• provides a base for good defense against all ins

Cons

• bad against ling floods.
• bad against early pools.
• High level zergs with good spine timing will be hard to beat.

Tips

1. If you scout a ling flood from your opponent as your roach warren is finishing, cut drones for some Zerglings, drop a spine and defend with Roaches, before moving out with a counter attack

2. If your opponent commits to alot of spines be cautious, if you feel you cant crack them then get faster 3rd and faster lair. Deny their 3rd as long as possible and be sure to get a fast overseer to scout for potential spire.

-ZvT-

Pros

• good against 16 marine drop timing (killing them before their ready)
• great against quick hellions
• good against Widowmine openers (2 biles to kill a borrowed Widowmine)
• provides good basis of defense against mass reaper all in

Cons

• Really bad against siege tank openers.
• High masters/Gm terrans will evac to main and make it hard to deal damage.

Tips

1. Work extra hard to keep reaper from scouting roach warren. On speed finish send your initial 4 speed lings to 3rd to clear away reaper, the longer it takes for them to figure out roachs are on the way the more likely you are to win.

2. Be sure to aim your first biles on the back of bunkers as to hit the bunker and any marines or scvs repairing it.

3. Go stright up his ramp and try to get on top of production, this is a instant kill move against Terran.

4. If they have a siege tank take caution in engaging, most cases you can't crack a player with siege tanks and good response timing. In which case its better to play from behind with and army than with out one.

Pros

• good against adapt openers
• good against stargate openers
• good against twilight openers

Cons

• Bad against immortal openers
• High level masters/gm will abuse good sim city and pylon overcharge making it hard to deal damage

Tips

1. Keep your second overlord in your natural to scout cannon rushs

2. be sure to use your first 4 zerglings to hunt that pesky probe if its at your 3rd or nearby. The ammount of times it sneaks by and scouts the roach warren is to damn high!

3. Use biles to and army to focus down pylons before going for probes. Unpowering gateways/robos/stargates is kill move against protoss.

4. If they have an immortal take caution in engaging, most cases you can't crack a player with immortals and good response timing (unless you drop sick biles on them). In which case its better to play from behind with and army than with out one.
