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.

When your opponent doom-dropped your main, you just a-moved your units at your base, and they walked into his tanks and marines in a big slaughtery conga-line.

This is why you lost.

Never attack from one angle - run your lings around the side a bit, get a few attacking the tanks, get a decent concave with your Roaches.

Group up your units before you engage.

That said, your response to that 1base all-in crap was correct - take another expansion, macro up like a demon, and giggle. If you had handled that doom-drop correctly, you would have easily crushed your opponent immediately afterward.

Would someone please be able to analyse this replay. It is a ZvP that i recently played, however I did win. I figure that I'm only in diamond and there is still plenty of room for improvement, and I am getting to the stage where I need to pick apart the little things to make my play style far stronger. I will probably be posting here a lot more frequently in the future for help with analysing these replays and everyone who helps is quite simply amazing . The game is located here: http://www.sc2sea.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=357

Thank you to everyone who helps

Yeah, you smashed him pretty hard. Coupla things -

I would have liked to have seen some early pokes and prods/map control with your lings. Better to have them keep your opponent on your toes and keep you aware of where your opponents army is than just have them sitting in your base.

I'd also think about where you keep your army while you're not doing anything with it, especially against Protoss - sitting your Roaches in that big wide open space would have made his forcefields a lot less effective when you engaged.

Bulletpoints!

• Upgrades were a little later than they could have been
• Forgot 3/3 later in the game
• Creep spread wasn't really there
• Lost a lot of Mutas to Thors in the second to last big engagement because of a lack of magic box
• Possibly a transition to BL/Ultra might have won you the game sooner?

Nice game though dude

For game 1, I will focus on trying to get better unit placement across the map. When you say pokes and prods what do you mean specifically? Should i be trying ling run bys or just running up the ramp and attacking his front buildings before retreating?

In game 2, what is a good time to start the first upgrades? I'm going to look at how to magic box right now on youtube because i've never tried it :S

Thanks heaps Apth!

When I say pokes and prods, I mean putting pressure on your opponent, whether that amounts to damage or not.

Run your lings at his base, attack whatever isn't defended, get into his mineral line if you can. Your goal isn't to do significant damage, your goal is to
A) Scout
B) Make your opponent hesitant to leave his base

With your upgrades, you generally get them
A) As part of a timing attack, ie have Roach Speed and +1 Range finish at the same time
B) When you have enough units that it would be beneficial
C) If you have spare gas and no larva to use up

I'm a huge fan of upgrades, and get them as quickly as possible - watching +1 lings tear through unupgraded lings makes me a happy panda.

Quick Comments

Hey Guys,

Silver Terran, used to be a Platinum Zerg but switched. Having trouble with TvZ. I feel scared to leave my base and not sure what to do. I did a few drops and felt my upgrades were okay as far as progression through the game. Doing my own analysis through the replay, I should've made a lot of production facilities after getting my 3rd mid to fully saturated.

Any input will definitely be appreciated.

Thanks

Hope the sound is not too choppy.

You need to scout with those hellions and watch them. Make more marines and don't turtle like that. Be aggressive. Terran is the aggressive race.
