One of the distinct features of the Zerg is their fast movement, quick reactions and their large numbers. With the latest changes to the StarCraft II build, these attributes are bound to be further reinforced.

Here are a couple of changes to the Zerg:

• Zerg units except Drones can now move 30% faster on creep
  
• Creep Tumors are smaller and burrowed

These changes will have a big impact on Zerg strategy, since covering terrain with Creep will now be very important. We will see Overlord rushes with mass spewing of creep and Zerg fast micro on creep. The burrowed Creep Tumors will force the other races to get quick detection to push back the Zerg Creep and take their fast movement.

Were looking forward to seeing great discussions on the new Zerg Creep.

At the moment the Overlords can spew creep as soon as the Hatchery is upgraded to a Lair and the Creep Tumors are built by the Queen that can be built from the Hatchery when you have a Spawning Pool. The Creep Tumors cost 50 energy and can be built anywhere (no creep needed), the spewing of the Overlord does not cost anything but the Overlord will stop moving while he is spewing the creep and the creep will begin to degenerate when the Overlord stops.

Please keep in mind that the 30% number is subject to change and will be tested in terms of balance with the other races.
