    ROOTCatz submitted this for day9's funday monday.
    Rule is: Always have at least 1 queen in production.

    Seriously, watch that first game!

    The terran pushed out with 180 pop of thors, tanks, marines and hellions and zerg had 130pop of drones queens and 5 broodlords and obliterated the terran only losing like 3 queens or so...


    Incredible!

    It's on the same idea as the mass queen+ultra strat I found recently on b.net. And since I'm already trying to incorporate a queen into my army to speed up creep spread I am so going to try and develop this or the ultra variant.

    The protoss army has only 2 ways to deal with broodlords(blink stalkers and VRs) and only one of them is reliable(VRs) since stalkers die too easily to blords especially when coupled with either infestors or lings, and queens tear voidrays appart at a great range.

    As it is, I cannot think of an army composition that could deal with this in any way... >.<

    A terran with tanks/marines/vikings can deal with it fine(tanks+vikings outrange queens and broodlords and target firing the blords with enough vikings will make the dmg unhealable) but seriously, P is so freaking weak against this! Unless maybe carriers can work...

    The key is to burst them down. If the terran had just focus fired the queens with his thors, each queen would die within 0.2 seconds leaving no time to transfuse. Once all queens are dead the brood lords become vulnerable.

    Focus firing so many queens with thors is a little tedious task though... But yeah, the key to beating such a strat is bursting them down, but even so, it's quite extreme a strat...

    Queen implementation in any unit composition is very interesting. Transfuse is a great
    ability and so useful in keeping those brood lords or ultras alive and in the battle. The tricky part is queens move super slow off creep and you need great creep spread to keep your
    queens with your army

    Seriously though, what in the world was the other guy doing? He just rushed his hellions straight into death without even firing, and his stream of units coming from his base wasn't managed at all. Just awful, awful micro. Had he gotten siege tech earlier and set the tanks up rather than just running them uselessly into the queens and broodlords the queens might have actually died. Does he even know the A+left click option?
