Also, I think you made too many sentries. (Can someone tell me if I'm wrong here) While they are good at controlling fights, you still need the DPS units, zealots stalkers. Your 1st set of stalkers was at like around 9mins? When the mutas showed up at your base. You also didnt do any early pressure against the zerg, you let him drone up way to easily. You want to make zerg scared so that all his larvae is spend on combat units, instead of workers.
Hope that helps

Hmmm thx for the feedback really appreciate it

[bossplayers]

soulbora,
thanks for the tips. I really appreciate it dude. Was it ok to go for the 3 gate robo with pvp? As you can see, I tried to scout for the proxy..
Also with the zvp.. he totally beat me. I should of harrased him more though. You are definitely right with that. Thank you once again dude I appreciate it.

[bossplayers]

Soulbora.
I appreciate your help. Would you like to game one day? Would love some more practice if thats cool with you

[iMSystem]

Sure add me and we can do stuff

Ok, review time.

Your PvP matchup, you didnt scout his base. You hide that probe, that tells me that either you were gonna go for a proxy pylon or something of that sort, or that you were keeping him there so you can see what tech route he goes to. (Which is usually around the 5min mark) but instead he sat there the entire game. If you sent him in to look at 5mins, you would have seen the 5 gates, and no probes on gas. Which assumes he just got gas for WG and then pulled them off to get minerals for the zealots.

Thus if you saw that, you would have easily guessed early pressure even an all in, and reacted accordingly. Perhaps scrap making stuff from the robo for now, and just sit on warpgate tech until it passed. Sentries would have been crucial to defending this.
Also, you did put down a 2nd gas to cope with that robo, but you didn't move probes into it at all.
And the last thing I can note is that you never transformed your gates until a minute later. If you did (at 6mins) you would have had 3 warps available by 6.10, and would of had them out by 6.14.
Which is still just before the attack happened 6 secs later. It does sound insignificant but it makes a big difference. Escpecially when you were behind the entire game (His WG research was done a massive 40s before yours. Imagine if yours was on time. You would have had 8 extra units in to defend that push, than your two)

For your Shakuras matchup,
again the same kind of thing. Your WG research was done and you didn't convert them gates, also that FF could have been better. It should have gone in between the SCVs and Marines, yours was close, and tbh still good enough. But because you didn't convert your gates, you didn't have the reinforcements available.
Again, lets look at the timings, Your WG was done at 6:16. 10s for transform, +4s for warp so at 6:30 you would have had 3 extra units. You had enough money by then for 3 stalkers or 1 sentry, 1 zealot, 1 stalker. or 3 zealots. Also, if you see something like this, brining so many SCVs so early in the game, you have to assume its an all in. So don't be afraid to pull your own probes to hold it, as you won't be at a loss. (Which you did, but should have been earlier)

So just work on your timings on the buildings and make sure you changes those gates as soon as you have the research to

[bossplayers]

would that mean in my first game, my build order was wrong? hows was his so fast? kept on chrono his cyber?

Lawl. I burst out laughing at the end. I accidentally left it on random after some team games. Saw an advantage so i took it.

My secret build order guys, I think it will revolutionise TvT up to a professional level.

Here are some opinions:

Things I Liked

• Constant Ling scouting earlygame
• Solid creep spread
• Upon seeing the (hallucinated) Phoenix, you immediately sent in an Overseer to do some scouting
• That timing attack when +1 Missile Attacks finished
• Macroing in the middle of battles. That was damn sexy.

Things I Didn't Like

• Generally when you spot an expansion, putting you at 2base vs 2base, you respond with either aggression or an expansion. Both of these responses from you were a bit delayed.
• When you scout with an Overseer, just drop a changeling. Don't sac the Overseer, they're expensive.

Things I Seriously Didn't Like

• That your opponent was terribad, and you won that game by a significant margin.

You can summarily ignore all of the advice anyone is going to give you in this thread because you won, so technically you did everything right.

Post a replay of you losing, and we can give you some decent constructive criticism.

[nirvAnA]

Yea would like a replay of you losing so we could help you more

imo from your creep spread / overlord positioning /macro you're clearly at least at the high diamond / masters level already. thought you played that very well, so well played sir. loved the early 3rd queen, multiple tumour spreading etc. it was perfect - like you followed the build order glade does to a T!!

small tweaks i would suggest was a ling near the minerals to check if he was going to do that nexus cancel all in, keeping that overseer alive the whole game for constant scouting / contaminate on the robotics.

played better then most of my tvz (worst matchup) but still lost hard?? i dont understand what im meant to be doing in this matchup - please help mezzz

[iMSystem]

Alrighty Aean.

8mins in, your 5workers behind the benchmark, and 5 workers behind your opponent, even with a mule you are still behind in income.

2 mins later, after your banshee harras gets packed away, you managed to kill 21 workers. But he is still ahead in workers by 6. You only gained 3 more.

15min mark, again looking are you workers, your sitting at 38. So in 5mins your only made 10 more workers. Workers create in 17s so you have missed out on a potential 7 more workers.
Might not sound much, but your still no were near saturation on 2 base, while your opponent is at 54 workers and sitting on 3 base.

Everything still looks fine, your 1st big fight worked out nicely for you, you did more damage than you lost and throughout the entire match-up you had been doing so. But I feel that ultimately that because your income was lower than your opponent's he could afford to lose abit more and sustain the losses, where as you couldn't.
Also that last fight, you didn't micro at all, banes connected with all your bio and your tanks weren't up.

I would say your upgrades are nice too, he has +1 melee and flyer attack, but no armour.
Taking a look at the CC energy at the end of the replay, you have 200/200 on your main and 100/200 on your Nat. 6 more mules that could have been.

Overall, you were playing it right, your banshee harass didn't do what it was suppose to-do, because you forgot to continue to build workers. Also I think your combat shields was a bit late, try to get it out earlier. You did what TvZ should be, trading cost effective units for his more expensive ones, Banelings, Mutas etc. But unfortunately you didn't have the eco to keep it up and each following time you attacked, you attacked with a smaller force than before where the zerg had the same size army.

Good luck in your future TvZ match-ups

System hit the nail on the head, your opponent was able to rebuild his army quicker than you could, so he won.

One suggestion I will make - spread your tanks out. When your opponent engages you, you don't want all your tanks to be bunched together.

If your opponent throws lings at you, you want to be shelling the crap out of them while he engages your first two tanks.

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone could comment on my play...like location to spread ovies and timing attacks and how to prevent my slaughter in this match up. Or even where should I gather my units.

For a lot of that game, you had almost 90 harvesters on 2 mining bases. Your opponent had 50 harvesters on 2 mining bases.

Whenever you engaged, the supply count was fairly even - but you had an extra 40 supply in harvesters, so his army was actually a lot bigger than yours.

Your army composition wasn't bad actually, but I would have skipped the Zealots and Void Rays. Stalker/Collossus balls are nice, and Phoenixes to soak Corruptor hits (which they did) are handy.

TL;DR - Probes != Macro.
