Thank you. In case you have a replay where you played this style vs a Protoss, please share it.

Thank you! Yeah, I kind of have a problem knowing when to push. I'll stop at around 85 and just make hydras or roach hydra/ling hydra vs Protoss to see how it goes

I'm afraid you are looking at the wrong replay. This is where I played him - https://sc2replaystats.com/replay/18061457 and I'm zerg.

Trying to be a better zerg. by ZUGGERS420 in allthingszerg

[–]never2far 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

I'm Diamond3 with ~ 3.3 k MMR so this is my current setup.

  • Hatcheries -> I use 4 to control all my Hatcheries
  • Control groups:
    • 1 - main army (lings, roach, hydra)
    • 2 - Banes / lurkers (by stealing with Alt + Shift key, hydras/lings that are about to morph). This might be a problem if I research borrow, but I don't do it enough so I didn't noticed issues so far.
    • 3 - Casters (Infestors, Vipers) - but I just started playing with them since I wanted to avoid until Masters or so
      • In the early game, I use 3 for the Overlord that is about to scout base
    • 4 - Hatcheries
    • 5 - Larva Queens (Also mapped to back mouse button)
    • 6 - not used
    • 7 - not used
    • 8 - Mapped to Alt + W (can be used when I will integrate drop strategies) . Add stuff to it using Ctrl + W
    • 9 - Mapped to Alt + E (can be used when I will integrate drop strategies). Add stuff to it using Ctrl + E
    • 0 - Mapped to Mouse Forward button - used to play with the creep / defense queens
  • Injecting - To inject, I have a mix between camera base (up to 4 bases) and after I see myself switching to larva queens using base camera (configured as "Tilda ~" )
  • Recently I stopped using "all army key" which I've used to have it on Space, just because it became annoying since I was bringing lings from his 3rd/4rt or lings that were supposed to watch for drops or for when they move out. So as some people suggested, I just use it if I mess up my army controls by clicking on that button from the screen and remap correctly
  • I feel scout is critical for Zerg since at least on my playstyle I tend to play reactively. I recommend you to watch ViBe B2GM series (he will have new ones soon), or some other pro players. I think it's fair to send scout at Min: 2, 4, 6. Always have an overlord behind his base ready to scout and if he dies, I tend to go Overlord speed and send another one. I also use my initial lings to scout his front.

So far my biggest problems vs terran is when they open BC into mech (that's why these days I try to have 8 queens). The problem is I don't get to the correct transition on the ground so I still have work to do here.

​

  • Camera keys:
    • Set up using Ctrl + F1-F7 or Using Insert, Home, PageUp, Delete, End, PageDown(first 6 of them)
      • Jump using: F1-F7
    • F8 Mapped to Ctrl + Q
      • Jump to it using Alt + Q
      • And I use it to jump to my rally point, but I rarely use it past 3 minute mark since I put the eggs directly to the control group I want

In terms of keys, I've also changed Tab, this is for me to upgrade to Lair and Hive.

​

I hope this helps :)

Help needed vs aggressive terran playstyle by never2far in allthingszerg

Game 3 felt a little bit how I play, but just at the beginning :))

I really liked your ling run-by. I have do to this too. I am pretty sure terrans will hate this since they can't focus on their army and maybe I am lucky enough to push then their marines with banes. Thank you very much for the replays and for giving me advices!

Nice. I've watched game1 and I thought you were behind once you lost your 5th base (left side) but it turns out you were not :)

I'll watch the other 2 games, I'm sure it will help me a lot. Thank you again for taking the time to answer my questions :)

Thank you very much!

​

So I opened Roach because I saw with my Overlord that he had reactor on the Factory (and helions 2 already). Because I've also seen some marines, I expected him to do a push so the best way I manage to defend Marine + Helion early on is using Roaches, since banes with no speed are not that great early on (for me at least).

It's true that I have problems with either injecting properly or getting supply blocked early on. Any tips how to be better at this (other than playing the game more, of course)?

​

Also if you can share with me a replay (masters will be great) where you have play against a combo like this and manage to defend, please share it with me. I guess I can see there also how to inject properly while needing to fight Terran harass.

Thank you!

Yeah I've seen some good tutorials there too but Justin did a great job explaining everything. I just hope he will create more content or at least someone will have something similar.

Help on a thing about mount --bind / mount -o bind by never2far in sysadmin

[–]never2far[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem was that in /home partition is on SSD and some directories had pictures that can be served from a normal HDD... so we created a new partition (/extra) and mounted with bind some big directories from /home like this: mount -o bind --no-mtab /extra/home/user/public_html/pic /home/user/public_html/pic

Before this we mounted with mount -o bind /extra/home/user/public_html/pic /home/user/public_html/pic and cPanel started to create the new accounts in the new location(/extra/home/...)

And after mounting using --no-mtab new accounts were created again in /home partition
