Quick points for zerg users:

1. To make a proper muta stack, hotkey your mutas with 1 ov or larvae, a stuck unit can work too(using a stuck unit ensures you will not lose random overlords)
2. Mutas should use hold position when using muta micro, mutas will then automatically calculate how many mutas needed to kill 1 enemy, hence why you see pros mutas hitting 3 different rines on the first bounces.
3. To stack lurkers, burrow first lurker, move second lurker right beside first, then click right beside then right after click on the burrowed lurker with the second lurker. It will go right ontop.4
4. in ZVZ, never go anything other than ling muta. If you are not fast enough to compete vs other zergs when going ling muta, getting better/faster is the only solution.
5. overpool beats a nexus first protoss fe 100% of the time when scouted.
6. include your drone scout with first 6 lings in a rush, it can attack over the lings as a pseudo ranged unit.
7. ALWAYS harass the scv making the rax with your drone if you scout them early.
8. Hatcheries should be hotkeyed from 5 - 0 at all times unless major coordination is needed with two large groups.
9. If your army is more than 4 control groups, send in the non hotkeyed units first and time your hotkey units to combine with the others at the front of the enemy.
10. Overlords should be littering the map any mid-late game. Zerg always controls vision because of this. If there is a dark expo/dark spot. Move random ov there. Also helps when you need detection in a pinch as ov is always close.
11. Do not forget to build a spire vs Protoss even when not going air. Scourge are a MUST to control the air.
12. Zerg should always be 1 exp ahead of terran and protoss. If the enemy toss starts taking his third... Take your fourth, no questions asked.
13. Protoss and Terran units are twice as strong as Zerg units, but they take 3 times as long to build, therefore:
----- Understand zerg works very uniquely compared to the other two races. Zerg armies pound for pound will lose to toss or terran armies. The point of zerg is to overwhelm the enemy, I.E Your first army dies, and your second army cleans up, your third army wins the game.






Feel free to ask questions about Zerg, such as:
Wondering if anyone has input on how to deal with modern 2 base pure goliath builds... So annoying they kill lings so fast.....

Other than that, post your tips n tricks for BW zerg players.
