SC2 Guide – Zergling Rush Building Order in Starcraft II
The zergling rush building order is one of the most basic building orders in the game. There are many different types too, but you need to make sure you master this zergling rush building order and use it effectively against your opponent!
This is a basic build and very easy to achieve, but the downside to this is that you will be very afraid of losing the game if it is not a success, it is kind of an all or nothing tactic!
6 Rush Zergling in the pool
Okay, when you start doing this you’ll want to make sure you’re not building any drones from scratch, just aim directly at the spawning group immediately. This is great on a map that has little ground distance between two opponents (1v1 map), you can easily make your zergling lift up before your opponent creates a choke point.
You want to make sure you hit about 200 minerals and an overlord, after building the spawning group, you can make a couple of drones, but you want to queue 3 larvae and hatch your 6 zerglings. Send these zerglings to attack.
Like we said, it’s risky, but great if you can pull it off, the game will be over in a few minutes if you are successful.
I like the 9 Pool Zergling Rush better
Why? Because if you fail, it still sucks, but you will have a stronger economy. Not only that, but your chances will be drastically increased because you will send out double or triple zerglings to attack.
Therefore, it is not that difficult to be successful with this type of pool construction and as we mentioned, your mineral count will still be a bit higher. You will also have a queen in this type of construction.
Anyway, this is how you do it, you want to make sure you build your spawn pool on 9/10 (you want to be building drones up to this point), then you want to try mining a bit more.
You will then want to build your queen after your spawn pool ends and because you build your queen you will be able to create more zerglings with the spawn larva queen skill. There are also other building orders you can follow to help dominate with the Zerg!
