Half of that I've seen from the front page pictures for the previous patch, but not the glowing shapes and symbols. Everything glowing is new, I think?
I did a 14-pool into 15-gas, thinking about going 1-base roach. I changed my mind and decided to grab a lair and then a hatch at about 20 or so, transitioning into 2 base muta. It rushed me with LOTS of sentries and 3-4 zealots. I lost my expansion to it, but I pooled the 7-9 mutas from the larva at it, and destroyed the attacking force. I eliminated the pylons powering its stargate and won en masse with mutas.
The thing I thought was buggy was that it didn't rush me because I had no defending units early game at all. I built no zerglings, spinecrawlers, etc.
Additionally, the 3 phoenixes it did manage to build never attacked me. They played defensively; they only attacked when I moved to attack them. When I did this, their AI was superb, although their chances would have been a lot better if the 3 phoenixes had grouped up. The point is, I just ignored them and destroyed all the buildings to win the game and they never attacked me back. If they had been harassing my mutas from different directions with their extreme micro already implemented into their AI, I probably would have lost (I'm not very good at all).
I'd send you a replay, but yeah... Battle.net...
I think the reason I won was that I was soooooo bad that it didn't know what I was doing until it was too late.
Edit: The first game I tried mass speedling was a disaster. He completed DESTROYED me with his sentry AI. I think I managed an amazing ONE sentry kill to nearly 50 speedlings versus 6-8 sentries.
