I could watch some scarlett replays and figure out her BO, but does anybody have some cheeky all in BOs they want to post up? I might get a chance to play this weekend and I’m going to be heckin rusty, but I really don’t know how to cheese as Zerg.
Post up your counters, too, so if my first parade across the map fails, I have something to fall back on, or likewise, the defenses to look out for.
option 1: Cheese so fast it’s done when the enemy scouts you
option 2: Make your enemy believe you are not cheesing, like transfering some workers to your nat to make them believe you are droning.
option 3: Make queens, deny their scoutt ech up, nydus him.
Zerg cheese is pretty straightforward since it does not requires ridiculous timings and macro or rely into luck.
watch any game of Bly
It’s all about denying the Reaper. From there, 2 base Muta, Nydus all in, etc.
But what if there is no reaper?
How would the OP ever survive if there is no reaper?

Mass queens and then nydus x2 at opponent’s base by the 5 minute mark.
Easy GG.
To cheese as zerg you usually have to be so much better than your opponent that you could run circles around them. Faking cheese is much better than actually doing it as zerg - if you fake cheese you force them to spend money on defenses and stay at home and you’re free to drone while they cower in fear.

2base muta gogogo flappy bois
ZvZ: Drone to 14, 14 pool, at pool 100% double extractor, build 6 lings, cancel extractors, at ling 100% pull all but 2 drones and rush with the lings, build spines at enemy main, defend with lings/drones
ZvP: 16 hatch, 17 gas, 16 pool, make 3 drones rallied to extractor, 1 more drone, 19 hatch at 3rd, 1 queen at main, @100 gas ling speed, take two drones off gas and send to natural, make two more drones rallied into gas (make sure probe is dead to avoid scout), make an ovi, @2:40 bane nest, nothing but lings (hide them from adept), send lings across map 10 seconds before ling speed finishes, morph 7-8 banes, bust the banes on units holding the protoss wall, ling flood to victory.
ZvT: I just wouldn’t cheese Terran. If they scout at all they’ll hold it. Try pressure openers like 3 roach or quick (5 min) spire if you wanna put them on the back foot.
The strongest Zerg cheese atm is one base Nydus SH. My friend made it to 4K+ MMR with this and his “macro” account is 3300 I believe. Works in all 3 match-ups.
Zerg have plenty of other cheeses though, almost as much as Protoss do.
Any cheese will usually give you more mmr than standard play at that level, but damn that’s a horrible build. He’s probably just confusing people since they don’t know what to do at that level. 2 base swarm host I could understand, but one base is just trash.
Yes,a couple of times as toss I’ve lost to that,it’s so bad that you sometimes does not think is that build, and it’s a pretty fast cheese, so if you don’t scout it fast it can be a problem.That build never worked against me when I was T or Z (yes, some low level player walled himself and did it)
Except most Zerg cheeses are auto GG if unscouted. But ok.
Actually Zerg cheese are the easiest to hold off. In so many pro games they go completely unscouted and still fail.
On the other hand if Zerg doesn’t scout a cheese on time they’re 100% dead.
