A Second Look at Zerg Openings. 3 roach rush speedling all-in. 9 pool ZvZ: Opening and follow up. 9 pool opening ZvP. Zergling/baneling/Infest. Spanishiwa's No Gas FE ZvX. Zerg versus Zerg, everything you need to know | Starcraft 2 | Te Raa Media. The period in which Zerglings are king, where the match up is fast and unpredictable to the untrained eye. Holding off an early pool + spinecrawler rush. We've all been here before, spawning on Lost Temple ( or Shattered Temple as it is called now ) and exchanging GL HF's with our Zerg brethren. Scouting with the Overlord to not see his base and getting cheesed with 6 Zerglings and 2 spinecrawlers building in your main.
You scribble down your little rage comment and leave the game grumpy. These rushes however, are fairly easy to deal with once you know your way around Ret-fu. Here are some Zerg pool and Zergling timings in the early game. As we can see, with the most all in of the lot, a 6 pool, we will have 6 Zerglings a full 89 seconds earlier than a 14 gas 14 pool build, the most common 1-base opening for Zerg. A drone however will most likely have moved from his base to yours ahead of time to plant a spinecrawler on your creep. A spinecrawler takes 50 seconds to complete.
Stacked drones.
