SO! My last blog was about me whinging how my ZvZ is so bad. So first I'll begin with a little update on that.
My issue is micro. I am a Gold level player through above-average macro and mechanics, but my micro and decision making is horrible. Of course, ZvZ for the first 6 - 10 minutes (all opinion, feel free to post yours) is intense micro if there's any sort of rush. I kept failing miserably since I would attempt 15 hatch, and then could not hold any rushes whatsoever. I eventually knuckled down and started practicing against bots to see if there were any half-decent 1b rush expands I could do without being all-in. I eventually settled on a 30/7roach push expand if I didn't scout any super fishy business. This has worked for a while now and of course I have practiced many deviations of this build in order to not solely rely on it.

NOW! My next gold is to achieve platinum by the end of the year. Currently I am silver rank 4 and I am pretty confident that I will be moving into gold soon. I am practicing hard and trying to figure out as much of the math by myself as possible (doing maths at uni, I can't help it :P). Anyway enough bragging. My current struggle is ZvP macro matches. As bronze and silver players are bad, I never had trouble against protoss because my openings were very solid. Now, though, I face the typical lazy zerg's problem -- forcefields! <insert Sen>

At the moment the only way I have been winning ZvPs against gold+ Protoss is by doing very early 1-1 roach pushes. If they fail and I am forced into the macro game however, this is where things become problematic. Forcefields propose bring back my issue of micro. To avoid being completely torn apart by forcefields, I believe I must micro burrowed roaches, keep hydras safe, make sure corruptors kill colossi asap and occasionally doing zergling surrounds. Multi-tasking isn't too much of an issue for me, but microing the units is (if that makes sense). I hope that the more I practice this micro the better I will become at it.

If anyone wants to add me on SEA for a match, feel free (I will play anybody of any skill level ) my deetz are in my signature.
