Just played in my first sc2 tournament! Cityhunter in Sydney, Australia held a small 32 player event.. got to talk to a lot of people who were very into the game :D
The tournament winner, a zerg, was playing very well and mentioned some anti-protoss cheeses he does although he gave no specifics, so I decided I should start figuring some out.
The idea is to take a very specific build order that aims to win the game outright against any one or all of the races.
First I decided to use a baneling bust, as of writing this I've only tried it twice but will continue to update as I try it. (right now being used in platinum league, as I climb up to Diamond its holes should start being more obvious)
I made no attempt at hiding anything -
My pool went down at 1:30 against the protoss in attempt 2, seconds before his 11gate
At ~ 2:30 his 2nd gate goes down (12 supply) just after his probe has found my base but gained no information. pool and gas both finished, he sees 12 drones mining and 2 on gas
chronoboosts his first zealot, started at 2:50 or so, probably thinking I'll have lings on him at any moment
He puts down his cyber at around 3:40, 19 food, staying 1 gas. My overlord sees all of this, giving me hope that this build will work.
Boost begins at 3:35 or so, an important time to note because that means speedlings won't be up till 4:25, 20 seconds after banelings!
Chronoboost is on warpgate tech while a stalker and sentry are under production at 5mins
My attack hit at exactly 6:00, 6 banelings and 12 lings at his door, followed by 10 more lings that had just hatched in base.
his late forcefield did cause him to lose this as well as all the other timing issues (he put down a 3rd gate to finish with the warpgate tech, it felt like a 4gate, but horribly executed)
Will put up more information later then hopefully organise it into something useful :)
