Day[9] Daily #234 – Strelok vs Stephano: ZvT Analysis
–
DESCRIPTION
Day[9] explores Stephano's Roach Infestor play. Instead of Baneling,
Zergling, Mutalisk, Day[9] reveals an interesting mid-game unit mix from
Stephano - one that combats Strelok's play very well! The brilliance of
Stephano's play is not so much in the composition but rather in the
timing when he gets there. This timing is so good because it is slow
enough to have a decent ground army but fast enough for the Terran to be
unprepared.

- Strict-build order vs a framework - getting the later spawning pool, continuing to make Drones
- 1 Marine, double factory - making the ramp easy to defend
- Roach, Infestor into Brood Lord and the timing of Zerg's play; turning the tide of the game
