So I did what I've desired to do for a long time.....I sat down for a day and just played Zerg.  And I loved it.  It plays much different than Protoss but it is a lot of fun and very interesting to learn.  At first I couldn't even rally my shit and I wasn't really sure what I was doing lol but after you figure that out and start exploring the tech tree a bit (I find tech switching with zerg way easier than climbing the tech tree as Protoss to try and get something out) it's pretty rad.  I'm not good at all but I'm having fun learning.  I think I'm terrible at placing my Overlords where they are both usefull and not in a lot danger (for now I tend to hide them behind my mineral line out of the way out of shear lazyness).  I'm bad at spreading creep - heck I didn't know until last night when I was playing with a friend that I could spread creep by moving the creep tumors up (I was just using queens and overlord puke).  And obviously staying on top of Queen injects is pretty tuff (although I'm getting a little more used to it - currently I'm using the method of binding my queens to a hot key and then doing (hot key, v, shift and clicking on the minimap on each of my hatches....not sure but I might change this and go to each queen bound to it's own hotkey and doing (hotkey, hotkey, v, click hatch) for each....still figuring it out.

As for the units - well I can do a good Roach Rush (extractor trick and all) and get 8 roaches out at about 5 and half minutes.  I can obviously do early pool stuff.  I've played with banelings a bit, hyrdralisks quite a lot, muta's a bit, and that's about it.  Still want to play with infestors (big Destiny fan - he's big on using infestors) and some other units as well (corruptors / broodlords / ultralisks).  I haven't done a nydus worm yet but that will be good time fun when I get to do that - I shit my pants everytime I hear the nydus canal pop - I think it's the scariest sound in the game lol

I guess early on I favor a roach / hydra / speedling composition for a lot of the early / mid game stuff but again....it's about all I've played with so far.

I think I'll keep 1 account for my 'Toss and 1 for my Zerg.  Haven't played any new season 1v1 ladder games yet (did a bunch of team games last night) but I plan to over the Christmas break.

Leave me your Zerg tips....how do you handle your Queen Injects?

Peace!
