Not long ago I wrote

about the adjustment / addition to snutes baneling style.
I just wanted to show you what I learned about the rush and I wanted to give you an update about me trying out the bust. (Note: I haven't tried to use the goldbust yet)
After various games of overdroning, attacking overdefended walls, not quite doing enough damage to kill the protoss, start droning too early and die to the counter attack I finally managed to kill a protoss with an allin! ^_^;;
The very basics of the push / allin were already written down in a previous post so if you want to see the exact timings that GL.Snute wrote to me you have to click this link (click).
First thing that is very important is to find a very vulnerable spot in the wall of. Let's look at the screenshot in the right. It's very obvious to see the weakness in the wall but if you didn't realise it yet it's the Pylon that powers exactly EVERYTHING in that wall.
In the next picture you see why I choose this point to be my point of penetration. I distracted him with 4 zerglings sprinting forward attack some probes and in the meantime the main 'army' simply moves into the pylon (or Zealot etc see prev. post) and simply destroys the whole probeline, cancels the upgrade, kills the cannon and the remaining units and in the kills the entire probeline.
I hope you have as much support as I have with copying the Snutes gameplay and maybe you'll end up with a quotation as awesome as I am getting all the time. I never had as much fun to troll protoss EVER before. Thank you Snute!

Since this blog is not only

about starcraft to thought I'd let you know!
 It's a beautifull day and my cards for the skrillex concert on the 24. fabuary 2012 in Berlin arrived (Germany) and since I am german and I am still in school it's perfect that he presents his show on a friday evening!
For the once of you that dont know Skrillex (lol either you are retarded or you have no taste of music!, just kidding but seriously.. i guess you are retarded) he is a musician and he is one of the best dubstep producers in the whole wide world. Another big advantage of him is the fact that he was able to produce Dubstep so good that even people that aren't nerds (Dubstep is considered to be the music of nerds due to the massive use of computer related sounds that are contained in dubstep and the massive use of dubstep in PC gaming related videos [such as ESL-TV Teasers or Call of Duty montages]. I have to admit it's quite true I enjoy dubstep really much and some of my friends who are not familiar to onlinegaming / don't nerd as much as I do would rather listen to music of pitbull and such [mainstream shit - mostly -]) can enjoy his music.
Here is one of my favourite tunes of skrillex. He has a wide spread on his style of dubstep. He is able to produce rather SLOW (click) dubstep which can sound awesome and at the same time he is able to produce really CRANK SHIT (click). He is the one artist that really started to spread the dubstep music. Skrillex is the first artist you'll find if you search for dubstep in google or on youtube. Some might consider him ''Mainstream'' and, just think about it. A Dubstepproduces is considererd to be 'Mainstream' it's sick.
His taste of music is so awesome that either his tunes get various amounts of remixes or he remixes a various amount of tunes and they all sound really sick. Almost every tune he makes has an unbelievable amount of clicks on youtube and its highly appriciated by everyone (The song that has 57,000,000 views CLICK).
But it's not only his music that makes skrillex so sick. He is a really authentical. He started his career as a musician with the age of 18 (prolly earlier but I first heared of him when he was 18) and he hasnt changed his style of music ever since eventhough he could have earned way more money with another style of music but he stuck to his guns and made dubstep really big. You can still hear the difference between a regular dubstep producer (no offense I like alot of them lol) and his dubstep - it's special in some way.
Another real cool point to know about skrillex he simply used very basic tools to create his awesome music. Just recently he tweeted about finally switching over to real musician gear. 
I hope you enjoyed the small Text I wrote about Skrillex. I guess that the majority of you did already know him but I just wanted to put that out there.
Skrillex = Awesome!

Small adjustment to..

Mr. GL Snutes Baneling playstyle.
Today I tuned in to GL.Snutes Stream to watch some of his sick games and to improve his (my covered) baneling style in ZvP and luckily hes a huge baller and answers every question you ask him. (that's a reason for you to tune in to his stream if you are a Zerg that wants to improve (Snute Stream)). Long story short I saw him banelingbusting and I did that for a long time too but nowadays I can't manage to win vs FFE with it so I went ahead and asked him about his banelingbusts and his timingwindows. He answered it on his Stream and wrote those timings to me and I just wanted to share them with you.
"Everything before 8.00 minutes can work." That does not mean that you are capable of banelingbusting all the time and get freewins before min 8 it depends on the wallin. If the Protoss clusters many buildings in a small position and you are able to bust many buildings at once you are free to go for it. A 'bustable' Wall should atleast contain 2 weaknesses so the protoss is not capable to forcefield once and totally stop your aggression.
What is a weaknesspoint?
It's pretty easy to analyse the weaknesses of a Protosswall. Number one weakness is a Zealot implemented into the Wall. Number two is normally a Pylon implemented into a Wall followed by the only canon is the perfect target. You always have to check for an alternative target. e.g. the cybercore. The Cybercore has alot more health compared to the obvious weaknesses but busting the core (and maybe a gateway too) will nullify the warpgate and - even if you cant quite kill the protoss - at least send him back to stoneage.
