he went hellion banshee opening into tank muta

i made mutas

he pushes at 15 minutes with a big group of marines and some tanks
nothing to defend with, my lings get ate up along with mutas

im sure banelings are the answer so what is the timing for baneling nest?

Yes, banelings win here.

You can easily slap a B nest down by 10 minutes np's.

baneling nest should be before spire completes incase of a bio folloup to hellions at 10 mins






and you might not have time for bane speed so creep spread is important

Tank muta good strat

You should have 2/2 baneling speed before his push in which then you can defend easily
also ling/bane/infestor works much better than ling/bane/muta imo

u gotta get a surround on it. cant attack from one angle

late gas, 4x queens defend baneshees, build 4 roaches with first 100 gas, take 3 base. -> get speed 2x evo and lair, baneling nest.
upgrade melee/carapase. When lair is done, get infestation pit, burrow upgrade, start +2 melee/carapase ASAP, and macro hatch. make 12 banelings, then 4-6 infestors take 4th-5th, start hive + spire. hive done, start greater spirer, upgrade +3 melee/carapase, adrenalin glanse. Add 25 spine crawlers. (optional: add 6th base here and second spirer OR ultralisk cavern)

early game; mineral heavy opener, 4 queens as fast as possible, get good creep spread, 4 roaches should manhandle hellions, 4 queens kill any banshee harras.
mid game; take map control, burrow banelings here and there. I prefer groups of 4 banelings at ramps for maximal surface area of explode.
late game; 1a broodlord infestor.

Depending your execution this will get you to masters leauge/grand masters leauge.

lol'd at not having maxed out on broodlord infestor by 15 minutes


It's good to see you back here, lad.
