Learn to play Starcraft: Zerg Starter Guide #2 [BUILD ORDER] (Updated 2017 LOTV)

We go over a very basic Zerg build order designed to get you into the midgame with a good economy and options.
These guides are in no particular order, nor are they meant for COMPLETELY NEW (less than 10 games) players, instead are all meant to help improve generally!

Played with myself all day then went laddering. No success.
But now it hurts when I pee.

Haven’t played in months but after watching some of your videos definitely going get back into it

[stevescharf]

Have to thank you. Got back into the game after watching your vids for a few months. When I left, I was very low bronze without much direction. I was losing to AI(Hard). Last week, I was able to keep up with AI (Very Hard) for 10 minutes in a macro game before I was eventually overpowered. Well, today, I beat that bastard! In one of your videos, you played a Korean grandmaster with your main goal being to bring a build to the US. Well, that inspired me to watch 2 elite AI's go at it with units that I enjoy using just for the sake of getting a build order that may get the jump on the Very Hard AI.
Anyway, just wanted to thank you. I was enjoying the game when I left a few years back, but I just didn't have a lot of direction, so I just fell back to being a spectator. Still have a long way to go, but Ii'm progressing much faster than I was expecting

I want to see a match where you were doing your guides when suddenly the oponent does something unexpected and wins.

[enyalieTheWriter]

Just wanted to say damn I love these Videos! Realy helped me a lot with Starting this Game. Kinda need to climb my ass out of silver because my mmr. Was terrible, but had around 20wins in a row, because i followed your advices:D realy insane<3

[oddbird]

Nice one! Could you put the link for the replay in the description pls?

[grimgrithius]

Came to make a play with myself see it's been done.

[ragnar]

Hey, i startet with sc2 for a short while and with your help and your guides im on lower gold league now. Thanks a lot for that!
But i have some questions:
- Why are ravengers so bad against marines?
- Could you do some guide like this, for ZvZ too, that would be great! :)

"8 min max is ez"=> not maxed at 8:32

[ReturnerFPV]

I have a question. i played a game against terran a few mins ago where i tried to follow your instructions, maybe not perfect, bot also not that far of. around the 6-7 minute mark i had 6 cloaked banshees in my main which killed my sporecrawler before my queens could kill them, dying afterwards, too. when the overseer finished, my lair, my hydra den and my spawning pool where gone, along with about 15 drones. i scouted in the beginning to see if i was facing any one base all in, but he went cc first so i then tried to macro up, just as you suggested. so how to prevent that from happening and whats the counterplay ?

[Shadow----]

How do you have Frost colored units/buildings?

[UBik]

@WinterStarcraft Master if you went down to like 70+- APM i might be able to keep pace.. :D started Zerg a few days ago since i noticed it makes my APM go higher, trying to keep pace with alle the queen infuses, drones, units... but its a lot on my mind not speaking about my fingers.. I love zerg its an awesome race
Guess ill need to bank up them thousands of games to get anywhere near diamond+

[valkronzharov]

How is it that he's using white Zerg pieces?

[beaufonville]

stupid question but what is ''a max out'' you have to ''max out'' what?

[DagarMan]

I don't play tons of SC 2, what exactly does creep do besides allowing you to get buildings?
