Zerg rush
-
A term used for a swarming attack, and/or winning a battle by throwing bodies and outnumbering an opponent.
This term was derived off of a video game called Starcraft which had a tactic where you are able to rush opponents by mass producing zergs and rushing them -
A tactic commonly used on the game Starcraft in which the race The Zerg are used in a quick strike.
-
The battle tactic when an immense group of poorly equiped or low -level players/minions/characters swarms a much smaller group of well-defended/high-level characters/players and defeats with sheer numbers.
Originated from the game StarCraft, in which if timed correctly you could send a dozen zerglings (lowest-level soldier avalible) into the enemys base before they could make defenses. Spread to include any battle tactic that involved massive amounts of zerglings to overwhelm the enemys defense. -
A common strategy where a player mass builds a many weak units as he can, then rushes the enemy base. Usually works best early in the game. Taken from Starcraft, where often zerglings (really cheap unit that can be built in large droves quickly) would be sent at the start of the game to kill everyone in the first couple moments.
-
A quick attack that comes from the game Starcraft. The race Zerg makes units quickly, so a Zerg Rush is a quick, weak attack, or an underhand technique. Also an interjection.
Its not only used in SC, but other games and just a random computer thing to yell. -
A cool trick set up by google. If you google zerg rush, a bunch of os will attack the screen. Try to kill as many as you can without losing all your search results.
