ZERG RUSH
Hi guys !
You've always wanted to play Zerg, but it was too hard? You try so many rushes, but it failed everytime?
You want an example to help you manage perfectly MacroBot for rush?
You'r welcome !
The MacroBot is perfect for this kind of rush! So try it !

I made a video to show how to rush with Zerg. Watch it and check following tips !
Link : Removed, sorry.
Tips :
1) Make drones until 10/10
2) Stop your auto drone builder*. Wait until 200 $$$, and build spawning pool. Build one Gaz.
3) Start auto drone builder until 12-13 drones (1 wave). Then stop it, and put auto builder on Zerglings !
4) Banneling Nest when you have 50 gaz.
5) Rally your Zerglings, mak some Bannelings, and attack !
6) Don't forget to put rally point on opponent base.
*The bot makes overlord even if you disable drone builder.

By the way if u won't rush fast (start with 4-6zerglings), it won't work.
If you want make the rush faster, espacially versus Protoss, avoid banneling and attack as soon as possible !
Instead, if you play against Terran on certain map, you have to make banelings and destroy opponent's wall.
Finnally, you have to improvise your rush based on opponent and his build order. Feel free to read the following posts, containing very good ideas !

Thanks for reading,
Regards.

You should always get speed for your lings, unless you 6-pool of course. Or they won't do anything.

I prefer 7 or 8 pool personally as depending on the opponent 10 pool might be slow at times. Useful guide nonetheless.

pure lings no banes
I have had huge success with making 9 drones (no more). Making SP. Now I have 8 mining.
Make Overlord while SP is building (bot will do this one).
At completion of SP 3 eggs of lings + queen are made (should have the minerals)
I usually just watch until Queen is done (depends what enemies doing) so I can click on her while the lings pile up at a rally point.
I start the attack (and set new rally closer), sometime during this I tick drones (which stops lings)

If you wanted to have less drones at the start, you need to pause the bot right before SP is made. Otherwise bot will build a queen first instead of the 3 eggs of lings. Pausing like this sometimes messes up the auto-queen so you may have to build manual too.

Cheers on your guide! <3 it when people share their secretes Smile

So when you guys rush you do an early queen? Because I usually wait a bit since I rather have those extra lings in the beginning and then I would transition after regardless if it was successful or not.

I do but I'm not saying its right.

When I start harassing them they chase with harvesters. I do this until my queen's lings come in to lay waste.

I guess there is a lot more leeway if you're ling rushing as a part of a team. So either way should work perfectly fine.
