Hi,

I have an issue with ZvZ, mainly on how to deal with Mutalisks properly

My opener for ZvZ is:
14 pool
16 hatch
16 queen
18 spine
17 overlord
17gas
2nd Queen to block ramp

then,
If opponent 14/14, I make a Baneling Nest
If 15 hatch, I sometimes try to play greedy and skip Bane Nest and instead go for Roach tech
If, in rare cases, mirror build order, I get Roaches

My build doesn't include Speedlings and I pretty much turtle until I get roach speed

The issue I'm having is "How to deal with Mutalisks"

I'm pretty much never surprised by Mutas showing up in my base because I scout in time with an Overseer

I usually resort to getting Hydras (because infestors take too long to make, and a decent player will split mutas) and lose because I can't secure a third, Banelings are good, etc.

I would post replays up, but I lost my replays :| (maybe if I bump into the same scenario again, I'll upload it)

I know it would really help to have a replay with this question, but any tips on how to deal with Mutas correctly?

Quick Comments

Bash:
