Learn Zerg! : Beginner Zerg Build Order Guide (2024)

Lings come 2 mins & start harassing you if you're vs me.

Hello mate, such an amazing tutorial for rookie players, could you please create similar video on how to transistion into middle - late game? I find this build really useful,however if my attack fails later on I don't really know what I should be doing as a zerg. Big shout-out again man !

Had no idea you could Q injects.

Just letting you know, I have not played for 10 years. I was maybe gold when I left. Coming back, with this build, I am now in Diamond 3.

I practiced just the hydra variant 10+ times on vs AI, and then hit the placements. I had to adapt it several times due to a bunch of protos cheeses, but the outright agression of this slammed through.

This is an excellent build order

"noob #3" lol

Thanks for the video man, this helped me a lot!

Just downloaded this game and zerg looks fun, need to memorize this build order looks super strong and optimal!!

Ok I had to come back and say this. The aggression of this build combined with my macro only play style… GOT ME TO DIAMOND FINALLY!!!!!!

I tweaked some stuff based off experience and optimized this to spend better and have macro follow up. But wow.

Something clicked and broke me out of a rut with this video and these builds!!! I’m Diamond!! For the first time!!! 😂🎉💪😭😭

Thank you!!! Keep the content coming. We love it and there is a shortage!

This was a great video . Thanks !!!

How do you queue injects?

using the hydra or muta version - how do you defend against hellions going to your mineral line? I usually defend with roach warren evo queen blocking the path

My friend been watching your protoss videos, glad that you have some zerg too, we're trying 2v2 but I still think I'm out of sink with him regarding timed atacks, or defending him for a carrier rush. We managed to reach platinum but my terran and Zerg need a lot of improvement.

Love your videos just this haha, thx

Thanks Probe!

i just realized: I think it has been a long since the launch of sc2 as there was since sc1 when sc2 was launched

You know you play too much SC2 when you click the minimap in this video thinking you can move camera.

i feel like zerg is extremely under powered like the other races can send a fair amount of stuff before three minutes, my 20 apm buddy didnt even cheese just sent in a few marines and i was done before i can push anything out

It just finished downloading SC2 and i'll put this into practice
thx a lot mate

At 2min time mark there could be a reaper rushing towards your base, how can i defend that?

Thanks for telling me that injects are queable omg it makes life so much easier

Just found this video - a great change from standard macro, macro, macro!

As a middling plat zerg this build really gave me the feeling that there is an aggressive option there once 2 base saturation hits. +1 Hydras with upgrades at 6-7 minutes are surprisingly good 😃

Just picked up the game yesterday and I'm really winning this is my first real tips vid after watching a pro play zerg. His name is rouge

There is something that im struggling to understand : when mines are exhausted , what should i do with the drones working there ? rally them somewhere else?

Thanks. Imma try this

gg noob sounds toxic

you build first hatch at 16 .............

Nice!!! Terran next?

Thanks man! I'm trying to learn to play zerg just to understand TvZ better since terran is my main and another thing I realized is that even though I know some terran builds I don't remember a single timing so my ZvT sucks (well ZvX actually)

thank you for this video :) is it possible to automate things ? like the queen autmaticly inject with larvas ?

Now we need an easy terren build order Thanks Prob!

That's super cool! I appreciate this and the protoss guide a lot!! Could you make one for terran as well? Also it would be super cool to have a series where you play these to get up to diamond or master :) Would totally watch it!

Feels very meomaika

Terran next? :D

Good stuff, sensible for lower leagues.

If anyone want to learn the build order, I uploaded the Hydra and Roach style in Spawning tool!

Hey Probe!

Thanks a lot for this build and the time you take to do the video!

This is perfect for macro and learn good habits!!!

Peace from France take care !!! ✌️❤️

"gg noob" 😂🙏

Thanks Probe! Zerg is my worst race, this is a really nice guide to make it feel like something I can actually get used to!

Hit diamond with your protoss build but struggling with zerg hope this will help me there!

Brilliant guide! I'm a protoss but coincidently, I just started messing about with Zerg! Thanks.

PS: Still waiting on that updated PvZ guide... :p

Let’s go!
