Zerg now go very queen havey, banshee or hellions don’t do a lot of dmg.
Go 2 base all in? Or fast 3 cc ? Or anything else?
I think that fast 3rd cc is the best choice here and then go for a timing like 1-1 and 2-2.
Remember that you don’t have to kill drones here. Zerg will have a way harder time to get the right amount of drones with less vision.
A lot of drones means less real army and less army that fights in the main fight.
–> kill overlords
–> deny creep
–> remember to get the right tech (widow mines vs. ling/bane/hydra and tanks vs. mass hydras or roach/hydra and liberator/tank is even better vs. hydra).
Below d2, I’d go for a 2-2 timing / maxout with whatever (mech if possible) and d2+, bio/tank push with 2-2 or mech with tanks should be great.
Also have the option to get thors and / or widow mines at about 5:00+ or 6:00+.
Also start a 2nd factory when you start your gases at your 3rd if you go bio.
TL;DR:
3rd CC sounds great, but hit timings again and again (1-1, 2-2) or poke again and again with hellion/cyclone. Taking away vision from zerg is always nice if you can manage it via a-move / shift commands / mini map (early viking to kill overlords, clear watch towers with hellions or a banshee and deny creep with fast units or marine drop.

Bat-Timing with Ghosts:
You can Emp Queens, and you can snipe stuff with the bats protection of lings or ranged a-move attacks.
You start with doing ghosts and then you will add lions which can transform to bats near the enemy, (of course not in the battle before you don’t have servo-transformation). so they are acting as a quick/constant reinforcement qu. Try to preserve ghosts.
Fast 3 cc should also work well, because they are “wasting” alot of money into a defensive unit. The big problem following is of course massive amounts of creep you can’t keep up scanning away, because an OC costs 550 and a queen costs 150 for the corresponding energy needed to … lay creep/clear creep very simple said.
thats a really really long series taking alot of time to watch just to improve your macro… I think there are better links/videos/advises for some ones time. Of course it is great in general.
Even simple TxT guide cold be faster where he picks useful stuf he didn*t know yet or that he is bad at.

Note the first comment under every video. There should be a summary with links under every video.
You can attack queens with hellion/cyclone once you have 3+ cyclones.
