Stop derailing this thread any further. The thread starter is genuinely asking for help to improve. So either help him, or don't post.

I saw four things to improve on that lead to one big point on why you lost:
1) You lost air control really really early. You made Mutas to deal with the Medis but then gave up on them. Because of those Medis you lost a lot of Zerglings. You needed to keep that air control to prevent drops and to prevent him from forcing you to make decisions.
2) You saw Thors but decided to go with BLs rather than Neural Parasite them with the Infestors that you already head. Why?
3) You never harassed. All the game he was the one on the offensive, he decided where and when to attack and that made you lose cost for cost.
4) You massed lings into tanks. You lost a lot of lings just taking those down. You lost an advantage that Zerg has. Might have been better to mine blings because you could tell with that production he had no room for ravens + he was still using scans.

This all leads back to the idea of control. He had it the whole match. While you were scraping to defend your third, he had a stable third base with no pressure. He made decisions for you. When to expand, what to build, where to fight, when to run. He had all the power to do anything he wanted. Sure you had some victories in the battles but you lost more than him in cost. Harras more, keep the pressure and choose battle sites to your liking. Spend a half an hour going over each map trying to find where it would be best to fight with what unit. If that is a good point for bling mines or if it is better for an all out engagement. Find places where you can surround or sneak past his defenses. Scout his MTs, dodge them, kill some SCVs and use his precious time, macro, mirco and minerals and worker time to build more MTs. Then he is worried about defending and not attacking you. The balance of power has shifted and you are in control to make decisions.

Sorry if I rambled but in matches like that power is everything. Information is power and that wins you matches. Good luck with future matches.

thanks for the help zanderax, yeah i think im gonna give up on mutas in zvt, havnt really been workin for me last week or two, terran is really good at dealing with them now and i feel like i cant do much, unless hes goin really drop heavy im gonna start tryin festors a lot more, but i dont like neural parasite vs thors as i feel its waaayyy to easy to simply snipe the infestor and then ur fucked. but what was i sposed to do with the tanks? his first push coms before i can really get much out other then lings/blinds, and other then puttin bling mines cant do a whole lot else? but definitely agree with you on the positioning/power and where/when to engage stuff, i think thats the stuff keeping me out of GM atm, my micro/macro feels pretty good but i think i stuff engaging a lot, thnx for the help
