[Video]Nerchio's ZvZ - Map Control through Aggression
In this episode of Crash Course, Shaft examines Nerchio's gassy opener in ZvZ, and why sacrificing early game economy benefits him in the long term.
This lesson begins with some essentials every player should know when learning ZvZ: larva expenditure, overlord positioning, and the impact of gas in the early game. Once this topic is covered, we proceed to discuss strategy-related materials like the timing of the third, and reading your opponent's stance.
It is not wise, however, to stay on lings for very long. Most players will either go for Mutalisks after, or, as in this game, follow up with Roaches. We will go quite in depth on the Roach transition, how to transition out of Roaches, AND how best to position your Roach-based army to maximize your concave.
