I play on US server and just started getting into Zerg. I really like all of their units and how they play but I'm really just not that good with them. My name on battle.net is Pathogenocid, I'm currently a bronze league player all around and looking to change that. I know all the basics of the game, I just need a guiding hand.
The best way to help you would be for you to post replays most of us will watch then pick apart also look on day9 for drone timing and general zerg games
A 7 minute bangelings bust vs terran is about the best build you can do vs terran and the 7 roach rush is about the best you can learn for vs protoss. Low level leagues anyways. will probably get you into at least gold.
You don't learn to play by just learning a specific build and hoping it works, Imo it would be better for him to learn to get good fundamentals first and builds will follow...
nah, learn specific builds first then only learn to adapt when they those builds start losing. Edit: youd be surprised how many people get to platinum or even diamond using such approach.
