You can look up that I am platinum if you check my profile on battle.net.

You see, I spent most of my stress and strain playing 1v1 with zerg in broodwar, and I said to myself, ok, I'm getting older, I need to enjoy the team games now, so I put all my focus on 2v2 in sc2. Man was I disappointed when I found out how the game was meant for 1v1 which resulted in a very poor 2v2 experience with zerg. I just found myself being bothered to no end.

I never took 1v1 seriously in this game, then again, I never technically played standard 1v1 zerg in broodwar because I rarely ever went this 2 hatch 6 muta build.

Against terran, I would expand and rush queen/overlord speed research, followed up by lurker research. I would typically make 2 queens, but only scout with 1. Then I would make judgement on whether I needed spawn broodling or not.

Some of my most satisfying wins consisted of terrans who would still make tanks, while I would follow up scout queens with lurker drops then pick off tanks with broodling because I would get a jump start on energy saving. It was great.

I think that Saviors 3 hatch muta play against terran deceived everyone off the proper way to play them.

Strangely enough, I found ZvT was easier then ZvP because of this. While the pros seemed to do better against protoss then against terran....

ZvP was a totally different animal for me.... I found the corsair absurdly difficult to deal with without rushing devour. Luckily for my dignity many pros were losing against corsairs multiple times in a row.

I felt like, deep down, Devour, Lurker, and Dark swarm was the first most optimally aggressive goal for zerg with the most potential... but the fact that storm both worked on burrowed units AND the dark swarm with out even a 50% reduction in effectiveness was absolutely retarded, when they should have been properly countering with reavers...
