 Heres a small background story about one of the best zerg players ever to walk the Broodwar world and now transitioning into Starcraft 2 as a member os the Pro Korean team Prime.

I've picked up one of his SC2 matches and several examples of his Broodwar playstyle to relive the spirit of this awesome Zerg Master and for us all to get to know him a bit more:

FantaPrime JulyZerg (Z) VS VAxunyoGoMaX (P) -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQYP_MvtZXc


JulyZerg vs TheRock - Sauron Zerg strategy -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gcBqcstXV8

"Sauron Zerg" is a Starcraft term very rarely used because there are very few players capable of living up to its definition, and can only be accomplished by Zerg Progamers with insane Macro skills.

In this OSL game you will see JulyZerg expanding and taking control of 8 bases, meaning unlimited resources flow. He then boxes his enemy and generaly doesn't allow units to leave the contained area.
Thats the perfect setting for Sauron Zerg to take place, JulyZerg starts pumping non-stop units from all those bases directly to the enemy, without even grouping them first! basicly pounding the enemy defenses with endless Zerg waves, hereby accomplishing Sauron Zerg.

Once a Sauron Zerg is in motion nothing can stop it, TheRock holds back a couple of waves, but JulyZerg can continue forever with 8 bases, within a few minutes TheRock is shattered.

JulyZerg impecable Mutalisk micro / control -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVnPZqBGT40


I would like to thank Team Liquid Liquipedia along with VioletAK and Refinery for their youtube videos without wich this presentation wouldnt be possible. Props to them.

 Thanks for these Hydra! I been out of the loop for a while now but will definitely get back into the SC2 groove. Is the Sauron strategy more effective in SC2 or Brood War? Has the strategy been attempted in SC2?

An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you- stand, Men of the West! "

I dont think it was attemped yet in SC2, well at least on tournament environment. Still, macroing 8 bases at the same time sounds like insane unit pumping to me and only doable by someone with at least 4 arms and hands :P
