Thats a very good way to practice though. Ladder isn't everything!

With your permission, could I recommend a build order for ZvP? I think that a 15 hatch is very dangerous in ZvP, especially if your opponent Forge Fast Expands.

sure , im taking build orders from anyone, I think its risky but if you scout properly and know whats in your base you can stop it. Specially canon rushes. You have to be more focused on whats happening but its worth the risk.

thanks for reading

I generally used to play with a 14gas/14pool build in PvP.

9 Ovie
13 Scout
14 Gas
14 Pool
21 Hatch

in ZvP, try to get a roach ling infestor army (with a few corruptors in the mix when he gets collossi (also allows for broodlords in the lategame!)) Otherwise, you can also try for a roach hydra infestor or roach hydra corruptor army. There are a few other viable unit comps (ling infestor muta) but they are seemingly difficult to play if the opponent knows what they are doing.

If they forge fast expand, you can either roach ling all in, or cut gas and take a fast third. I recommend the second option. You need to scout frequently to tell whether or not a 6/7 gate push is coming, whether he is going to hit a +1 timing to destroy your third, or whether he will pressure with a volley of phoenix and void rays before transitioning into his next tech route.

Hope this helps, if you need a hand in game, just PM me - Paroxysm.938

Thanks for the tip. I used to use speedling expand but I cant do stuff as fast as I can with 15 hatch 15 pool. I still use it, and i switch depending on what map. If its a big map like taldarim , antiga shipyard or shakuras i will most likely fast expand , if its a small map like shattered temple , metalopolis or others I will speedling expand. Im also 5 bucks away from the korean account , so if any of you guys want to play with me there message me

thanks for reading and following
