lol...rumor is that heart of the swarm will come out late this year, but the multiplayer for it will come in beta first so....most likely blizzard gonna test whether HOS expansion works for multiplayer or stg...if it does, i think most WOL players will switch to HOS, more units more tactics =)

It's the same story as WC3. As soon as expansion pack comes out, the first one is completely abandoned and the only people who play there are the hacking noobs. :/

Hey,i have been thinking , i am focusing on mainly protoss and zerg as my 2 main races..So as a zerg, against the build Forge fast expand --which has become an extremely popular strategy against zerg, is it viable to go on something like a fast upgrade roach nydus into the main? since the defense is all the way in the front, and with the delayed gateway, the roaches should have np cleaning up the main of the protoss. Yes, i know that maybe in a few maps this build could be a bit difficult.....but was just wondering about the general idea. Overlord drops could also be a viable option....

yes, 1-1 roach timing push is sexy against forge FE. Also mutas. And since he's going FFE, you can just... double FE. It's a bit trickier agaisnt 3 gate FE... I just play multiple base speed roach/hydra with lotsa creepspread and 2 queens per base (3 if you have a macro hatch). But its a lot more scary.

Yea, i know about the other strats against this build, just wondering about that one......Mutas also seem to be a good choice, but a lot of toss switch straight into stargate tech, which can get really annoying. I dont really like to go a fast 3rd base.......just dont. I have vsed a lot of the 3 gate expand builds as zerg and what i love doing is to go into heavy roaches and hydras--like u said. thx for the tips

a fast 3rd base is easy to hold off in some maps if you play defensive speed roach/hydra if you have good creep spread btw-- and keep in mind this is NOT for zvz we're talking about. Mutas are a pretty good choice, especially when coupled with ovie drops of hydras into nydus unload. good maps for fast 3rd base off the top of my head: metal, altar, XNC kinda if you have big damage dealers you can get the drone building the third whilst the rocks are being destroyed, or maybe even take the rich which is open and easy to kill if surrounded by lings, the 2 queens originally for creep spread to change into just 1 queen for creep and the other for 3rd base, and a few mutas. Problem is that harass can be a big problem in zvp especially if the only thing that can really move as fast as phoenix is exactly what they counter, and making a spore or 2 per base is easily counterable by a fast tech switch to 3-4 voids.

Yea. yea, i knew that in a few maps it would be much easier to secure ur third, so i would gone for that part in that map. If i were in that situation, like u said, i would chose mutas, but a lot of toss are getting phoenixes which are really annoying. Also, toss instantly can change into the tech route to robo etc. LoL OFC we werent talking about zvz.
