Learn The Zerg Rush — Become Feared and Hated
The zerg rush can end a game very quickly and is looked down on by losers. You’re there to win and this Starcraft 2 zerg strategy is a proven winner. There are some finer points though that you need to be aware of if you want to master this simple zerg strategy.
First you need to know your zerg tech tree and zerg units inside and out.
Because you are going for a quick attack with your zerg rush you are making some sacrifices to your home base defenses and your economy. If you don’t get the most out of your starcraft 2 zerg rush you are left in a very vulnerable position. You must have a fall back plan or you may wind up looking like a total dork.
The zerg rush strategy should be viewed as a way to damage your enemies economy early in the game to give you an edge. But you don’t want to just send your zerglings blindly rushing into the enemy base trying to take out the supply line. The basic worker units, Drones, Probes and SCV’s can easily kill zergings so you need to have control over your zergling army. Don’t let them get surrounded.
Against Terran opponents you will probably need to break through the choke point as most Terran players wall up and turtle their base. If they already have Marines active take them out one by one. Then crush their SCV’s one at a time.
Against Protoss opponents go for the Pylon that is powering the Gateway. By then they will have Zealots coming out. Again try to surround them and kill them off one at a time. Then focus on destroying the supply chain.
Against Zerg opponents try to take down the Spawning Pool if there are no zerglings out yet. Kill off zerglings as they pop out and then go for the Drones. Try to give your zerglings the Metabolic boost to speedlings to get an advantage over a Zerg opponent.
If all goes according to plan your enemy will be screaming at his monitor and crying into his hands. Be ready for a string of abuse and name calling.
Players will try to set some kind of lame made up rule at the beginning of a game. Some way to prevent rushing usually that they’ve decided on and that they feel safe with. I think this is the real BS. Rush on I say.
Being prepared for a zerg rush makes you a better player. To commit to a zerg rush leaves you exposed so it’s a two way street. The game is meant to played to win according to the abilities of the player and the attributes of the race picked.
So let’s stop with the crying. There’s no crying in Starcraft 2. Let your zerg rush.
