Conclusion from my latest teoriecraft(you see in my topic), i gone test something out for increasing the chance of flawless victory swarmhost action!

opening vs terran or toss

build drones upto10supply, sent overlord to proxy loction
50sec: sent 1drone to proxy location
80sec: build proxy hatchery (thats just 1.33 larve waisted(20sec))
80sec: build overlords+drones
120sec: sent drone to proxy to build extractor in time
150sec: extractor at proxy
150sec: sent 4drones to proxy
180sec: pool at proxy
180sec: sent 3 drones in extractor
180sec: sent all remaining drones, exept 4 drones, from main to proxy
245sec: lair+Spine
245sec: sent remaining 4drones+overlords from main to proxy
295sec: build extractor2, at proxy
325sec: infestor pit+creep queen, stop mass droning, take more gass
375sec: swarmhosts+spore+locust upgrade
375sec: creep tumor from queen+sent queen+overlord to next creeptumor location
415sec: attack = 6minite 55seconds
after that: build 6-9total swarmhost, nice amount of spores then tec air, then react on situation

vs zerg, you may do it at the main, to get spines up sooner, and proxy later, or overlord+queen, if you scout a 15hatchery, you may even try it vs zerg!

Don't you think your opponent might notice you have nothing at your main?

I'm bronze and I sure as hell would start scouting.

How do I counter swarm hosts effectively? ...Colossus?


DT drops work well. Swarm hosts get seiged up, drop some zealots or DTs at their base and giggle.
Other options include anything that flies, colossi, or storms. Once you break the first contain you'll usually roll through their army and get to kill some bases so it's really about knowing they're coming, preparing and not losing your cool, then attacking with a reasonable gateway buffer and some observers on top of your splash damage units.
