Played one game last night at 3am when I got home (first multi game in a few days), rolled Zerg against a Terran. He sends an early marauder-heavy force juuuust when I start getting roaches out around 8:20, I lose a couple queens and my spines and have to pull drones but barely hold it off. Then I start massing up roaches quickly but sadly he doesn't attack again. I spread creep out for awhile while maxing out, he never attacks again, eventually go up towards his base but get hit with siege tanks so quickly retreat.
Hmm, stalemate.
Eventually an expeditionary force of vikings appears over my creep. I have no spores (scouting? psshh) and my entire army is made up of ground-to-ground units, but this doesn't strike me as a problem until he starts taking out my overlords. Oops. I try to huddle them around my main where drones that were just chilling since my minerals ran out (expanding? who needs that?) and build a bunch of spores. I also build corruptors but I never get enough of them out at once to take out the vikings. Finally it occurs to me "wait, shouldn't I use hydras to counter air units?" so I get a bunch of those out and finally take out all his vikings.
With air supremacy now assured, I off some of my own roaches (sorry guys, the overmind demands it) and replace them with corruptors, then brood lords. I march on his siege line, launch some broodlings at the marines in front, and cackle with glee as his tanks begin to fire on his own troops. He sends some vikings out but my BLs are in a place that my hydras can't reach so I retreat. He comes onto my creep and sets up a siege line; I leave my roach/hydra army just out of siege range and start firing at his marines again and cackle with glee again as his tanks fire on his own troops. Finally he unsieges, at which point I march in with roaches and hydras and decimate his army. He snap-leaves before I get to march on his bases.
This was like a 35 minute game. Not the pinnacle of SC2 prowess on display there...
