As a very beginer Z, I pick some simple tactics to play, including various 1-2 base fast rushing.
But, I found an obstacle that's very confusing in ZVP:

When my ravagers rush to protos's enemy, they hold the 2nd base's gate, and build some battery behind the gateway wall --- I'can't break in because my ravagers fire wasn't enough!

And with time elapsed, when protos's void ray appear in my eyes ---- I know, the GG is mine!

Because , I can't smash the void ray down with my ravager's fire(Bad micro-op & position predict)。

So，my question is: is there some better ways to deal with the void ray, when I rush the protos.

I've been thinking about the advice that many top players give to beginners, especially Zerg players.

A common recommendation is:

I completely understand why high-level players say this. If your goal is to become a Master, Grandmaster, or even a professional player someday, strong fundamentals are absolutely essential.

However, I think this advice may not be ideal for the average casual player.

Most of us are not trying to become Serral.

Many players only have a few hours each week to play StarCraft 2. They log in after work, play a few ladder games, and want to have fun.

For these players, jumping straight into macro-focused play can be frustrating.

You spend the first few minutes injecting, making overlords, spreading creep, taking expansions, and trying not to get supply blocked. Then suddenly an attack hits, you die, and you don't even know what went wrong.

The learning curve is steep, and the rewards often feel far away.

Cheese and all-in builds are different.

A build like a 12 Pool, a Roach all-in, or a Ling flood has a simple goal:

1. Follow the build.
2. Execute the timing.
3. Attack.

The feedback is immediate.

If you win, it feels great.

If you lose, it's usually easier to identify the mistake.

Maybe you attacked too late. Maybe you forgot a unit. Maybe your execution wasn't clean enough.

The cause and effect are much more obvious.

More importantly, these builds create positive reinforcement.

A beginner who wins a few games with a well-practiced all-in is far more likely to stay interested in the game than someone who loses ten macro games in a row while trying to "learn fundamentals."

Ironically, I don't think learning cheese and learning macro are opposites.

In fact, many players naturally progress through three stages:

• First, they use simple aggressive builds and have fun.
• Then they hit a wall where those builds stop working consistently.
• Finally, they start learning scouting, economy management, creep spread, and other macro skills because they want to keep improving.

At that point, macro training has a purpose.

It's no longer homework.

It's a solution to a problem the player is already experiencing.

So my opinion is simple:

If you're a beginner and only have a few hours a week to play, don't feel guilty about learning a cheese build.

Enjoy the game first, get some wins.

The fundamentals will still be there when you're ready for them.

To be specific, queen's spawn larva (Inject) effect last 40s. But when 40s ran up, there's no any tip sound to let players know that you need to use your queen to spawn larva again.
So my question is, is there any good way to remind myself to spawn larva again?
