Knowing that he's chosen toss I decided to go for a strong power hydra build.
My build was:
8- lord
11- hatch
pool
15- hatch
lord
12 lings
4th Hatch
I placed My 2nd hatch below my ramp so it could protect my main and exp. Now as my 3rd hatch is going up at my exp and I've finally found him with my scouting lord and noticed how he placed his gates just infront of is natural obviously looking to get a early up.
Notice also that his gate placement is a good way to kill a early mass ling rush since my lings would be forced into a 1vs1 battle vs his zealots.
Now he's starts warping in a pair of cannons behind his gates and I'm pretty sure that a early rush by him would happen so this gives me a chance to power hard. So I put down my 4th Hatch beside my 2nd at the entrance and start to pump pure drones.
Addity now decides to break the silence to inform me how his buildup is going.
At this point he's starting his cyb core while I'm putting down to extractors get my den right away.
With my den up and plenty of drones mining I now start to pump mad hydras out of my 4 hatches while upgrading my speed and range in that order.
A quick look at his base shows he's just finished his archives and I about 18 hydras at this point but I'm not planning to attack until my hydra upgrades are done.
Now I have about 16 lings and about 36 hydras ready to bounce so I start to send my force to his base while building an evo chamber and splitting my force up to regroup and also in case he leaves his base to attack I'd have good formation to swarm him from all sides.
Well sure enough he attacks with a mass of speed upgraded z's and archons. The overwhelming number of hydras and flanking formation helped out in killing his army with little damage to mine allowing me to continue to his base where I meet up with 2 towers an archon and a temp without psi though.
Now my hydras are pretty much unchallenged and he realizes that its over and describes this strat with one word.
gaga stats mean shit
Well that's about this is my first br and I wanted it to deal with a strat so if you have any ideas as to how to counter this or improve it post a reply.
