How do you follow up the nestea spine? I keep losing because of a lack of follow up. I take down the front 2 gateways or whatever, and he just masses cannons behind (effectively walling off) and you more or less can't break it (spine range = cannon range)
And he will be ahead because he has made more probes

Does this only work if his building placement is sus, e.g. artosis pylon, doesn't defend with decent replacement of wall behind

I mainly play Terran but occasionally like to mess with Zerg. It's a fun race to play and is very mobile (especially on creep) will be looking forward to learning new BO and stretegies on these forums

I usually follow it up with Hydras becos 90% toss will make VR to get rid of the spines.

And if he DOES make VR, ur blind counter will give u the time to drone up and get a 3rd.

Roach all in against FFE is good ^^

Thanks for your multi-pronged attack article Shortizz! It helped me with dealing with Protoss, now that I can whittle down their infrastructure and army a few at a time with my highly expendable Roaches.

I have a question though: If I focus on killing infrastructure like Pylons, Warp Gates and the such, will it put me way behind in army count because of sacrificing so many Roaches while not doing damage to his main army?

but if he moves out to engage your army you can go for a base trade

That really depends. If u get a pylon tahts half done, then its pretty redundant. but if u get a nexus that is building or even a Forge/Templar achive thats researching, it can be huge.

Thanks for the support everyone!

Base trade is really dependant though, but i love sneaking some units in to unpower all their production facility and then back off if i can. Also drop whatever spare money u have into the spines if you can forsee a base trade. Chances are both players will end up with tons of money and no production facility.

Pretty awesome - Keep it up!

Hey man! Neat write up. I don't have much interest in a spine-crawler rush because of my linearly standard roots, but seems like a cool thing to do. I saw Nestea do it a while ago (hence the name..) and thought it was pretty.. well, it was ******* awesome, to be honest. OH MY GOD HIS PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES...

But, as of my current situation, I can't play much because all of my focus is on school atm. lol.

[zaney]

This is one of the most motivating things I have read!

[Shieldz]
