    He means, we've only seen 2, maybe 3, PvZ games online. Where have you seen the other 7-8 that we haven't?

    The videos I have seen only shown Zergs getting smashed because the guy made like 10 drones before building the Spawning pool. Usually you don't wait till 10 drones to expo (I don't remember correctly the optimal time). You don't even make a second Overlord before creating an expo. After starting the new Hatchery, you wait till minerals rise again and start a Spawning-pool, and it'll be ready just about the same time the Expo is. Creating an Overlord in the meantime will give you, along with the new hatch, enough room to pump immediately zounds of lings from every inch of your soul. Zealots versus Lings must be grossly outnumbered in order to be defeated, and I can't see how a single Hatchery would be able to sustain this. In either economy or available slots.

    Really, there havent been shown more then 3-4 ZvX games, I think you are trying to cheat us, so that we should trust that what you say is proven.

    Well if you dont want to belive me then dont. My point wasnt about watching 10 PvZ videos but about PvZ being unbalanced, so if I stated the wrong number of videos watched I am sorry.

    2Overling: Agree. In SC2 the zerg has to watch for zealot rush more than in SC1 due to the fact that SC2 is even faster than SC1 and zealots no longer take 2 days to create.

    Zerglings dont either do it dont they?
    Faster speed shouldnt mean that Zealots rushes should be stronger...
    And how can i believe anything of what you say now, when you state it out from 10 not-existing games?

    Faster rushes don't make you stronger it just means your enemy will be weaker when you get there

    I meant the game speed, as he stated:
    I think it looks like he meant the gamespeed?!
    To Overling:
    Standard expo build for Zerg
    12 hatchery (12 drones)
    12 Spawningpool
    Agressive build
    9 pool (9 drones)
    15-18 hatchery (12 drones, 6-12 zerglings)

    Sry, I didn't get a thing about these numbers. You meant the standard is building a second hatchery with 12 drones? Nope, I don't get it.

    somewhere....not sure
    actually i played zerg against toss when i visited my uncle at blizzard, it seems that toss was more powerful than i thought
    so they pawned me no matter how many units i used, but they weren't able to get through my base with my queen.....

    then they launched the mothership at me.....

    Overling yes a 2nd hatchery at 12 control, and ofc they are all drones, because you have no other units that costs food at that state.
