Baneling Carpet Bombing

Today I have a new strategy for you guys! This strategy is for zerg and is called baneling carpet bombing. I didn't make up this strategy, but I do use it sometimes and it is very effective something worth noting. In order to do this, you need to have overlord movement speed as well as transport researched. It works extremely well against large amounts of infantry such as hydras, zerglings, marines, and marauders. It works, but not as well against roaches, stalkers and zealots.

To carry out this strategy, you must create a decent sized force to attack or muster up all you can to combat the enemy. Then make a bunch of banelings, load them into your overlords, and start moving out. Use your force to counter the enemy directly while your overlords fly over. As they are flying over hit the drop all key ("D" by default) and click the overlord you want to drop the "bombs". Repeat for each overlord. This causes them to drop the banelings one at a time in a devastating carpet bomb maneuver. It can be seen above. Enjoy. :)

Happy Halloween everyone!

No updates for today, can't think of anything really, but Happy Halloween! :)

It's Halloween! (In SB anyway)

Hey guys, tonight's the first night of Halloween! Happy Halloween to everyone! No videos today, maybe tomorrow or Sunday. But don't let that get you down, I'll offer a few tips for you guys.

Zerg: Don't forget the banelings! Banelings will decimate any terran infantry army when used properly and you can even utilize them for some carpet bombing. That might be my next video, how to do a baneling carpetbomb.

Protoss: In late game, don't be afraid to go for a mothership. If you have a decent base size with a couple of expansions and a glut of money, get a mothership. Why not? They are an excellent unit if utilized properly. Vortexing parts of the enemy army splits them up and can effectively destroy them. Also mass recall is useful for sneak attacks at times.


Terran: Banshees are good for more than just harass. Use them in the later game to snipe out some strong ground units. They work well against tanks and ultralisks, especially while cloaked.






And here are some zerg units dressed up for Halloween. :p

Replay! FruitDealar vs. SlayerSBoxeR: Game 1

Hey everyone!

Today I have done a new cast from the recent tournament at Blizzcon. This matchup was between the famous fruitdealer and Boxer. Boxer is a famous brood war player, and one of the best to ever do it. Fruitdealer is widely renowned as one of the best SC2 players in the world right now and definitely one of the best zerg. Interesting matchup from both sides, some nice play and strategies by both sides. Without further ado, here is the cast!

Video is officially up!

More tips because I have to study :p

Haha, I was really hoping to get that cast out today, but looks like I have to keep studying. Gotta truck on through those midterms. Here are some tips instead to give you guys something to think about.

Zerg:

-Building on what I said before, use the early overseer to stop early rushes like void rays or colossi with its contaminate ability. When utilized properly, important game changing units can be easily stopped in their tracks until it is too late. When using a zerg infantry for example, look out for factories pumping out tanks or robos pumping out colossi.

Protoss:

-Don't forget about thinking about an early phoenix. Early phoenixes can lead to great harass and scouting as well as picking off any air units before they become a serious threat. They are excellent in later game for picking up tanks or immortals, rendering them useless.

Terran:

-Don't overlook the hellion. It's a very successful harassment unit in all stages of the game. If you can sneak past armies or defenses, the worker line gets blasted easily, especially with the upgrade!

Some new tips!

Hey everyone, wasn't able to get to that cast up today. I actually ended up casting a game that was from the beta stages and it turned out to be kind of a waste of time lol. My mistake, should have checked beforehand. Anyway, probably tomorrow I'll have it up. Here are a few tips to tie you over until then.

By the way, if you have any videos that you want me to cast, or saw something interesting, send me a line at sc2stratguide@gmail.com

New site email!

Zerg:

-Get an overseer relatively early and use it to your advantage. It's easy to bring an overseer into someones base and find a vulnerable spot then drop a changeling. Most people have a hard time noticing one before it's too late and you've scouted everything already. If you're really lucky, you can group it into their army and they won't notice!

Protoss:

-Make the choke point in front of your base with strong buildings. If you're opening into a 4gate, then make it gateway/cybernetics core. This will help protect your base with stronger buildings protecting it while at the same time allows you to tech up.

Terran:

-If you're going into an infantry based army don't forget to tech up! Get the slow missiles for marauders as well as the combat shield for marines. Make an engineering bay or possibly even 2 if you want to get upgrades out faster. Upgrading and teching will make your units exponentially times stronger.

Sorry for not having posted recently...

Sorry that I didn't post anything the past few days. Went home for the weekend and had a fun time at universal and hung out with my girlfriend! Always nice to spend some time relaxing. Anyways now it's back to school and bloggin! I'll put up a cast tomorrow hopefully, anyway now it's time to study. Don't hire a lawyer to shut down my blog! I'll go bankrupt! ;)
