Zerg are the adaptive alien race. Their units are generally less efficient than Terran and Protoss units. This means that Zerg relies more about making the right units to counter enemies. Every time a door closes (immortals or tanks vs ravagers), another door is always open (mutas or broodlords). "The swarm" can create units much faster than the other races, allowing for the constant swap of army comp or wave after wave of Zerg attacks.
Its funny because in the mean time, even if zerg is supposed to be the adaptative race you,'ve got terran and their hellion-hellbat viking liberator etc. XD
15-20 seconds for a new army to counter them? Zerglings are the only unit that builds that quickly haha. But yes it is true they have the ability to quickly swap tech paths and as long as you're good with your larva injects you can always be ready to morph a whole new army when it is needed! Isn't it lovely. They're such awesome looking creatures too.
SomeGuy If you're playing PvP and you lose a mass of stalkers to a mass of immortals, you can't just make a mass of void rays or something to counter. If you're playing ZvP, however, and you lose a mass of roaches to a mass of immortals, you can almost instantly have a mass of lings and hydras to counter. All races have to adapt unit comps, but Zerg do it the fastest.
I love the "legalized stimpacks" shirt.
"Legalize"
I love that they are doing this kind of videos to help new people with the game. Good job Blizzard and specially great job PiG!
yer it sounds really good but doesnt reflect the feeling of the actual gameplay.
Erebus2075 of course not, the game is really complex. But for introduction I think it is excellent
You forgot to mention burrow The true ambush, "trap" mechanic
Salikrav I know I meant to mention burrow for more a flavor ability
I guess baneling mines are a thing, also burrow lings can delay expansions, and infesters can move burrowed.
Salikrav banemines exist in GSL, also burrow roaches can catch people off guard even at WCS level. You clearly dont watch much pro play, and probably dont play at master level
Top 10 anime traps
Agree best upgrade in the game.
Awesome video Pig!!
INSERT ZERG RUSH MEMES HERE.
*Inserts corpse into comment box*
3:27 Aughh the banelings crashing into the archons instead of the stalkers... so angering.... Even though I am a protoss player...
3:30 the protoss legit would have won that fight lol
Probably, but he also would have likely traded poorly
depends on upgrades, protoss could be 0/0/0
yeah - trade would've been bad. Also he needed units at home to defend vs the mutalisks.
he already lost all the workers to the huge mutalisk flok, his only chance is the all in at that point. but even in a streight up fight with all the zerg units zerg would win, just to much zerg there,
Sato Protoss kind of won, because some hydras on the right just started to move instead of fighting, so if Protoss actually fought, it would've been a decisive victory for Protoss, but they decided to retreat, because.... Reasons. Besides, that stalker force in the main probably got decimated, because it was way too many muta to fight without AoE.
I love that shirt. Where can I get it?
Zerg main for life.
FOR THE SWARM
sounds way better than the actual gameplay allows for ^^
I mean, but, that's what the actual game plays like if you play zerg in MP. once you get to the point you can do all the mechanics to some degree, at least. He's not talking from an outsiders perspective either - this is an ex-pro who knows exactly how the game plays.
PiG!!! PogChamp
I came here long time ago. Heart of the Swarm was the best story!
estos videos deberian estar subtitulados yo pienso eso
What would you say is the hardest race to play?
If you are aggresive player with high apm then Zerg is the appropriate race for you good example of this are Life's gameplay
Or terran maybe...I would say zerg may be least known for their aggression but more for their decision making.
Im brand new to the game and i noticed your name was starlord that is my star craft user name out of the gate
I have a question. shouldn't this be starting, "Starcraft II: " or, "Starcraft 2: "? from the title, I thought this was for Starcraft 1, given its resurgence on the channel with the previous remastered release.
I just cant choose :D That's why I play random. So I "learn" all races and I can predick what they will do.
군단은 영원하리라!
...Zerg Rush!
How you look and the way you talk... Are you Hugh Grant?
LOL No ling speed with three bases. Sure.
Jamick98Geass they have speed this video has low game speed
Is he playing with bisu?
Hatchery produces lava, sure.
How to Zerg Here are the tactics 1 drone rush 2 zergling rush 3 just rush
Weaszle Just rush, raw rush
Just get off the computer and rush your enemy down in real life
Rush B?
Weaszle 4.rush out a lots of drones
diamond player here its a bad piece of advice. zerg rush is the weakest rush and a stereotype. protoss and terran rushes are far more dangerous
as zerg u just play passively creep spreading and try to react to opponent thats all
starcraft isi still alive?
5:06 i've listened to it like 20 times, i'm pretty sure you say "idear"
That's the British intrusive "r".
Bought that shirt within 10 minutes of watching this video.
I'm glad you're okay with telling the world you're a virgin
@@blind_surgeon I'm glad you're ok with telling the world you're an idiot.
best race. easy and effective
Did he seriously not say the key point; *Zerg units move faster on creep*
at 4:40 to be exact (more or less)
Y en español?
I have improved my Zerg army to level 50 long time ago.
OP race, the only race that can afford to lose a 200 supply army then replace it immediately for another fight
if youre to lazy to actually use your army but you still want to win no problem, zerg is the race for. just trow your army away at your opponents until they eventually die.
You can't actually "throw it away" without saving some units or using some abilities or you won't win.
@@evanstowers8529 keeping unit at home isn't nesseceray since if he attack you while your attacking him its even better for you sice you can remax and he cant
@@evanstowers8529 what I'm saying is that you can't get away with not using micro once you've reached a certain level of competition. Doesn't mean you have to always leave units at home.
I mean saving units as in saving them during your attacks
For example you can throw constant attacks out but of you don't ever pull back some of the units in the back to save for the next attack or usr your biles then your probably not gonna wim....that and actually exhibiting some control over the units during the attack to maximize their surface area and other important engagement techniques.
LEGALIZE STIMPACKS XDDDDDDDDDDDD
Yılmaz morgül ?
zerg = bad guy :(
nah zerg = cuties
Nah zerg = insanity,chaos,murder and victory
"Which race will you play?" Why is that a question? Why not all of them?
You can play however you like. But it's generally accepted that choosing one race and focusing on it is easier for most players to become good at this game.
Snafu agree Main a race, but play at least one match which the other races just to jave a bettee grasp in their weaknesses and strenghts and learn how to beat them
it's incredibly hard to progress with all races at once, so more experienced players tend to pick only one (not just because it's accepted like that)
"I'm going to participate in the Olympic games" "Oh cool, what category" "Why not all of them?" That. That is why not all of them.
+Colonel Xander Decathletes disagree
This is good yet limited, not mentionning some swisstool such as the queen and the overlord and talking about the good old "get me back in the meta" mutalisk
thought it was broodwar. :c
Hahaha me too I was just watching day[9]'s Let's Learn Starcraft series
Should have been! :D I guess they do need something like this for the F2P influx
So basically their the soviets.
What an accent
my favorite race is : Zerg welp i cant even play it
All these intro to different races/factions videos seem way too general & basic, barely scratches surface of depth of each race. I'm not asking for 30-60 mins in depth long tutorial video on each race, but a bit more depth & details on each race would've been nice
do you have at least 180apm? no? no zerg for you.
Moy O yeah zerg needs the most apm and the least micro based race
Moy O Not true! In my opinion it is actually easier to get higher APM with zerg than with other races. Probably because of the constant hatchery>larva selections. Basically, it takes 3 actions to build a unit (+ you often control click it to put it in a group), terrans and protoss can do that in 2 actions.
its the other way around. Playing zerg automatically nets you more apm, just cause theres more things to do when it comes to macro
i hope no new Players see this coz then zerg as race will die :D
I think this makes zerg sound a lot cooler than what a lot of people would highlight which is their macro potential. I think this sounds dope to someone who's ever enjoyed flanking or backdooring/counter attacking in video games.
Video should probably be called "Welcome to StarCraft II," unless Blizzard is actively trying to push their recent SC:R release under the rug... Good, informative vid for beginners though.

second
If you're the type of person who would rather play a color matching game then zerg is for you. All you do is memorize 3 build orders then apply them on any and all maps and you'll win 65% of times
starcraft good on paper but if u play it it feels way too fast and tactics (rather than strategy) focused hard to even click those small fast slippery zerglings individually without dragging boxes around them in general units collision radius is way too small so its like everything is ontop of everything and its just chaos gives me a whole lot of tilt
sooooooooDark you must be new here boi
To you I say, GIT GUD.
gotten gud aready!!!! boiiiiiii
it's just a matter of practice. Zerglings are slippery, yes. And they're designed to feel that way. It defines true mastery of the zerg race, if you're able to micro multiple zerglings individually.
yup, there is little strategy in it, its all about the tactic and mostly the APM and knowing builds(guess you can argue builds are the strategic layer of it). why i like Tww1/2 so much more as a strategy game, both playing but especially watching; as APM doesn't mean more than strategic overview and tactical choice's. i hate how SC1/2 is Far more about APM and "cookie cutter build" than it is about strategy and outplaying the opponent: high apm >>> strategy and tactical knowledge
Soo, when this game first came ut ı payed for this.(30 turkşsh liras) LMAO.
I was expecting some good visuals, motion graphics, not a youtuber gamer...
Hes a caster for pro SC2.
Ex pro
Actual gameplay, like what is shown here, is more valuable though than any kind of special cinematic or "motion graphics" that blizzard might have worked up instead. Or are you just bothered that the video sometimes cuts to a guy in his room with a mic in front of his face? If that is the case, I feel like you should just recognize that he is one of the preeminent starcraft personalities in the scene - a pro commentator and ex-progamer.
clee89 if you want action take a look to a pro tournament
If u want visuals go play single player games you casual
