Double Hatchery Zerglings
Double Hatchery Zerglings
This build order looks risky at first glance, but it's not really that
dangerous. You'll have 10 Zerglings in about 4 game minutes. Once you
hit the 5:30 mark or so you've got well over twenty =) It works great in
team games as well. Be sure to try out our double hatch tutorial scum
Start with this build order
1.Make a Drone, and put the first 4 Drones on Minerals. Click here to
learn a fast way of doing this.
2.Make your sixth Drone, put it on minerals
3.Make your seventh Drone, put it on minerals
4.Make an eighth Drone, put it on minerals
5.Make a ninth Drone (you ARE doing this as money becomes
available right? =) )
6.Save up 100 minerals for an Overlord, then make one
7.Save up 150 for a Pool, then pull a Drone off minerals and start one
8.After the OL finishes, make 3 more Drones and put them on
minerals
9.Save up 300 Minerals for the second Hatchery
10.When the Pool finishes, build up Zerglings as money/larvae allow
until the meter hits 15/17
11.Make another Overlord
12.Keep cranking out the Zerglings, non stop from this point on.
13.Be sure you make Overlords before you hit the limit
14.Make a Drone every now and then to ramp up mineral production.
At that point, depending on what your recon shows you'll need to make
some decisions. If you have the guy on the ropes with your first Zergling
charge, you may want to rip out another Hatchery and crank more
Zerglings and finish him off. If you attacks were ineffectual and the
opponent is going air, you may need to get an Extractor and a Hydra Den,
or skip to Mutas. You may even choose to expand if the enemy is turtling
in.
Try this build on medium to large maps. On smaller maps you may not
get those first Zerglings out quick enough. If you're gutsy you can still try
this out on small maps. Once your second Hatchery comes online you'll
be out gunning any one Hatchery opponents who waited too long =P
