I play zerg... and I fail

I just can't use queens as often, and I forget to macro when I focus on mirco...

Terran have advantage on 2 bases, but beyond that they can get trashed...

MMM push can easily get you a win, Zerg have NO units that can properly counter and obliterate a MMM push however, that doesn't mean you will get wasted without getting a chance, unborrow can turn a MMM blender into a surprise massacre, then again you MUST always have superior numbers, that ability that binds and hurts units is specially useful (forgot the name)... Terran get TRULY mean with their machines, IE Tanks and Thors and a few Hellions in the mix, THERE is where you feel completely helpless... BUT those cost time and resources to get to critical mass.

Vs Terran the last thing you want is to let the game run at their phase.

yep its mean as zerg vs terran you will need every single advantages you can get (more expo, bigger army)

mmm terran is not such a problem (baneling+fungal growth make it an interesting fight), but heavy mech style is nightmare. Once I lose to terran with 150/200 while I had like 200/200 1/3 upgrade ultra+lings, just because I decided to push his third base, and he had most of his tank on choking the way. Seems like ultralisk is much bigger than in BW.

I feel like mostly it went like this
early game - zerg need to be aware and defend any harrasment like reaper+bunker rush, helion blue flame, banshes.
mid game - need to contain and outmacro the terran to gain economy and healthy army size
late game - once maxed out push the terran before they get their critical number of units (tank/thors)

"we are people because of other people"
"I am who I am because of who we all are"

the story's units and freeplay's units are kinda different wonder why?...

D'oh!

because it would mess with the balance of the races.

terran with medic and firebats will destroy the current zerg real hard.

the unit from campaign are mostly older unit from BW.

"we are people because of other people"
"I am who I am because of who we all are"

I agree that Zerg got the worse cards in this game, that is until you harass...

Zerg have speed in every sense, in production and tech switch, and you HAVE to use that to your advantage vs Terran or you are going to LOSE hard.

For Example

Have more expos, Lings/Banes + Roaches + Hidras + Mutas + Corruptors... heck a Healty mix

Err let me illustrate...

As a Zerg YOU have to push first, Terran will ALWAYS wall... and Toss vs Zerg is LIKELY to wall, so you should play like they did... I scout first, but the battle plan is to get Lings/Banes OUT and FAST.

Early Ling/Banes do wonders for zergs players, but I am not talking about the 6 minutes mark, you have to do it early and I truly mean it... is the ONE strategy to with I manage to win, because later on I just can't focus on all the queens/tumors/macro/micro... I am not that good.

If that Fails (I would wonder WHY!!!) (Lings/Banes would NEVER fail if you do it before the other player has enough units to counter you)... Zealots can't hope to stop Lings/Banes, and Marines are NO help either, Marauders could be a problem, but a healthy number of Lings will mow them down, the only way you have to Remake your strat is if the Player is Smart and his wall is strong as hell (ala Barracks like in SC:BW), and has a cluster of buildings and ranged units to take you out... anyway if you saw a Strong wall with your scout, then forget about Lings/banes for the moment and go Straight Roach/Burrow (If you are not good at micro then go Muta) or Muta, and here is where it gets tricky because I lose 🙁

Roach/Burrow +silent Drop can win you a game if you are lucky, but you should use them for defense (Remember QUEENS are actually good attack support units) Expand and Contain the enemy, Harass when possible and TECH like MAD till Brood Lords, when you have a Healthy number of Corruptors + Brood Lords and a few support units (Queens rock) then is a MUCH easier game... Don't waste your time with Ultras... they are useless unless you are in SPECIAL situations, and Brood Lords are an unit that can be used vs anything on land and those little critters slow the enemy to oblivion.

Ultras are a waste of your time, so don't tech to them, they are a Land to Land MELEE unit, and even with their DPS and good Healthy, they Utterly SUCK... Unless they get the ability to move while burrowed... THEN and ONLY then I will consider them a huge threat.

I know that is NOT what I would call an easy game, after all Terran are MUCH easier to use, but that doesn't mean they are OP, is just that Terran is much easier on the newbs and the punishment to delays is not always equal to gg 🙂

That is more or less How I play Zerg...

Also remember a broken wall against a terran player is a delayed push/expo in his side, so even if you only managed to break the wall and kill 30% of his units, it was a victory TIME wise... Victories are not always rated in the amount of minerals lost in the first, but also in the amount of time you managed to delay your opponent... if you manage to get the game to run at your phase, you are more than likely to win 🙂

I don't if the game was worth my $60 for just one campaign...but it was pretty fun 😀 I loved the campaign ^^ and I loved the ending as well. I like how blizzard added the armory upgrades and research upgrades for the Terrans.

But playing as the protoss in S2 was pretty fun and difficult since they can only heal their shields. I kind of miss the quotes that each units say when you keep clicking on them xD usually they say some pretty funny stuff.

Even though the graphics looked meh~ I think they did a great job in keeping the game fun 🙂 If the graphics were too awesome, I think I'll have to buy another computer 😛 so I guess them making the graphics look mediocre was a good idea.

I currently love the Terrans right now because of their Medivacs and medics 🤣 they totally own.

KanataxYuki will always remain in my heart...
Their love is so profound~!

yep the key with zerg is that you need to stall terran econ so that they get their numbers much later, thus giving you time to mass expo and droning.

I only build bane lings nest/roach warren once I get into lair tech and after I scout their base with overseer, otherwise if you make roach for no reason your lair will delayed much any decent terran will notice this and with get starport to make banshees, you will have no defend cept queen or spores.

ultralisk arent useless unit, broodlord is good but it can get countered easily with vikings (hello 9 range), and corruputer lose against viking 1v1.

While fully armor upgraded ultralisk will make short work of rines, it's really depend on what terran unit mixture is.

"we are people because of other people"
"I am who I am because of who we all are"

I just rebuilt a new gaming PC so I can now run SC2 on ultra awesomeeeeee! But I've been so damn busy with school I haven't had any time at all to play.

I wish I had more skill at SC2.

My brother ridicules me, and I want to put him in his place... but can't. It's embarrassing.
