    Counters

    So I seem to get trashed by toss everytime. Can't seem to counter them well except the time i went brood/mutas. It says to counter a lot of toss units you use zerglings. Problem is everytime i get near their army with lings all 50 million of them are trashed in seconds. Not to mention to it says colossus are weak to ultralisks but toss usually gets colos way faster then i can get ultras.

    Terran I've had problems with when they turtle. Usually set up tons of sieges around entrances and put up sensor towers so even burrowing in gets me messed up especially if they have detectors. I guess fast expand faster then them?

    These days any toss will choke up early game cuz they know u got zergs coming.

    i recommend rolling through with higher material, we always expect a roach rush.

    if u can get fast mutas, tho do alot of damage especially if u get some on the mineral line, because i for one dont put cannons in my line. Also if u can just keep the contained in there base keep them from expanding then you can take the upper hand from sheer recourses.

    against protoss you want to go roach/hydra mix, and maybe some corruptors if he has collosus

    against terran, you want to go air, get some zergling/roach, maybe an infestor or 2 for their fungal growth ability, and get mutas, if enough time, get broodlords

    against toss its either
    Mutas + speedlings
    or hard hydras to transition

    Hydras do well against every tier 1-2 toss unit. They will eventually go collosi. That's when u either get some corruptors for support or totally change unit compo to roaches (ultras if u can hold off til u get some). They probably will preemptively counter your roaches with immortals. If so, then corruptors are a better choice.
    Corruptors hard counter collosi and can be used for their corrupt ability which can do wonders when attacking photon cannons or can even stop the production of units by corrupting robotic facilities/warpgates.

    You have to stay one expansion ahead of them or else their unit quality will overwhelm your low hp units.

    I won a game by going mass roachs.

    I used the standard Banelings/ Zerglings rush build, but instead I focused on replacing Baneling Nest with Warren, getting an evolution lair instead of ling speed, upgraded to lair, upgraded missiles x2, got burrow.

    GG when my roachs unburrowed behind his nexus as he didnt wall his cliff.

    Roaches are indeed a beautiful thing.

    You are right BSOS, I will never skip speed again, I promise I won't ever again.

    I'm not saying don't never get zerg speed... but if you actually intend on practically using any 1 unit... You better get their respectable upgrades... i.e. zerg speed, hydra range, roach speed/burrow (claws are not always required)... u get the point

    i'm still trying to figure out how to use hydra/ultra against toss
