StarCraft II - Zerg Overview

An overview of the Zerg narrated by Jim Raynor.

"they can kill a marine faster than he can empty his gauss rifle"

Yeah, he never does...

[Depthcharger]

Ariel Hanson: "You know more about the Protoss and Zerg than any of experts i have read about Jim"

[Tarentula]

"Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me."

I miss you, Overmind, you were so much more badass than grandmas queens and Kerrigan...

[vladtheimpaler]

The zerg can produce units at an incredibly fast rate and if your army falls in one battle you can just build another one in seconds, way before your opponent can rebuilt hes own, as long as you got the resourses.

I love this overview. I wish they updated each one with Swarm's and Void's new units.

The Starship Troopers style of the Zerg was the reason I traded the boring Battlefield 1942 with OG Starcraft
way back in 1998!

I like how you guys made Raynor narrate it !

[jester]

Zerg: Overwhelm
Terran: Adapt
Protoss: Stratigise

Anyone else getting Goosebumbs as soon as those Ultralisks appear? :D

[wooooooot]

My uncle Amrik Khella was so cool. He showed me Starcraft, world of Warcraft, and Diablo. What a fun guy he is... too bad he stopped talking to me. Thanks for the fun.

As a basic run down:
The Protoss have few, expensive, powerful units with lots of special abilities. Protoss need to rely on conservative tactics: actively avoiding losses, relying on terrain etc.
The Zerg use vast numbers of cheap, disposable units. Zerg need to rely on stealth and subterfuge.
Try both, and Terran too. The differences between all three factions are too long to list. Until you try out each one yourself, you'll never know which one you're suited to.

I still remember the times when Queens used to fly and spawn broodlings... Good ol' times!
Long live Brood War!!!

[Aflay]

I love how they just swarm everything. *sniff* it's beautiful.

[Rith]

The Ultralisks used to have an Ability called Ram. Which no longer exists in Competitive multiplayer, but it's shown in the vid.

[Nightbaron]

I always wonder if the carapace armor that the Zergs have is enough to protect them from solar radiation, especially when they venture into outer space to invade other planets. I think Blizzard should explain that :)

[kingjanster]

I serve only the Queen of Blades... For the Swarm!

[Dark_Voice]

I Love Corruptor.
Armored air vs Phoenix (although I switched to Protoss), destroys Collosus, observers, Ravens etc. Can morph into Broodlord and become almost invincible + beautiful design.

[RodovalPTY]

They don't have charge attack but the attack got increased a lot. From 15+2 Splash to 35+2

[Rimethurse]

I hope we have Kerrigan narrating the same sort of overviews for Heart of the Swarm. Going over the changes, new abilities and units, et cetera.

[nighthunter]

Anyone imagined this with the voice of Liam Neeson?
