Thread: How to win (almost) every game of Starcraft from now till tomro morning

    Default How to win (almost) every game of Starcraft from now till tomro morning

    when they hotfix this


    1) Build 10 drones

    2) Do Extractor trick twice to get 12 drones

    3) Build Overlord

    4) Build Spawning Pool

    5) While spawning pool is being made select all your larva and turn them into drones, then cancel almost before their morphing finishes. Because the hatchery sees less than 3 larva it will continue pumping larva allowing you to stockpile 5-7 larva up.

    6)When Spawning Pool finishes make 14 zerglings.

    7) Laugh manically as your opponent trys to fend off 14 zerglings with one zealot.

    This is a new change with the patch: larva aren't lost when you de-morph an egg.

    Wtf who came up with that retarded idea. And they need to document changes like this better.

    Hahaha, definitely lulz-worthy. If they don't go back to the old method of canceled eggs dying, I wonder how they'll fix this. Perhaps they'll require the eggs to "unevolve" over an amount of time proportional to how long they've been evolving?

    It's actually quite easy. The larva dies if there are currently 3 or more larva at that Hatchery. See? Simple.

    Yep, good fix. Can't believe internal testing didn't show them how imbalanced this is.
