Dont get too negative about zerg, it's one of the steepest learning curve race compared to others ( well it's just plain different compared to other RTS u played).

I think soon or later you will nail it, if terran is imba it will get balanced soon or later.

zerg is not the best early game anymore, will walling being so popular nowadays, i felt that zerg has lost the early advantage.

When people wall off, zerg have to FE, when we FE we are sit into more passive position and have to def. I watch the cast from Husky stated that zerg have to absorb all the harassment and damage in early and try to build up huge macro advantage later on

Mid and Eng game zerg is equally as strong as it is possible to rebuild entire army after a big army collapsed in a big battle, that's what which made zerg scary (provided you are $$ rich).

How often we gonna vs those gosu Terran player? Not much right?

I'm pretty sure there will a patch to fix this.

But overall it still doesn't change my perception on Zerg that it is strong in early game and weak in late game.

I wish Blizzard can make muta and hydra stronger in next patch tho tongue.gif


Added on August 25, 2010, 7:29 pmHow come nobody discuss about Terran's ghost?

I seldom see ghost when playing vs Terran tho ...

But in 'theory', I always thought ghost's snipe ability can wipe out entire zerg forces easily since zerg units are all biological.

Problem is even if you make muta and hydra stronger it wont help much as our T1 unit is kinda difficult to hold off these attack

u gonna have like... 30 muta? biggrin.gif
that sounds a lot to me if u going 3 base u can have many backup as well, get up corrupter and greater spire as well, evolve to broodlord if u have to

hey guys.. thanks for the "Control Group Queens, Click V and click on minimap, the nearest queen will cast on nearest hatch" tip..

that really helped me out..

any more good tips? hehe

any good replays that I watch on How to properly play Zerg? Especially from the sifu here (poke at Moonflown)..

Dont get it.. can you explain in more detail? I just realise you can spread your tumor after playing zerg for so long yesterday


Anyone care to watch my replay back few thread ago and comment?

Hi, Im not a pro sc2 but I just DL you replay. You lose because you use hydra and zergling against carrier. Since you already have your lair up, I believe if you switch tech to corrupter with some hydra backup, you can easily take down his carrier. Corrupter is very good against massive unit like carrier and BC especially when you use corruption on them.

When you set multiple queens which stay in different base in 1 hotkey, you can produce lava by using that hotkey and click on your hect in minimap. The nearest queen in that base will produce lava to that hect. This will eventually save your time by not looking at your base.

Thanks pointing out, I was so mad at myself that game, being comfortable the whole game and eventually loosing it..

Let's hope i will do better next day.. Too much theory on myself but too little practice, no enough 'sense' to the game

I wonder why my pc takes forever for loading and alt tab in and out...

BTW, i recently started to play as random, terran is really easier to manage than zerg, less thing to do and worry about.. when you wall off you get less concern on harassment earlier in game. Then when you push you just spam your hot key for unit production.. you have plenty of time to micro your unit instead worrying for larva injection.

And MMM ball is so powerful.. it rapes most of the time..

Toss is currently my worst race since I play mainly on zerg and hated terran so much, contributing to my effort to study all their builds and units..



Question: When I play on lower league, I have problem facing player especially protoss which walls off their base and start teching.. cannon is everywhere in their base, I dont know how to harass them at all.. Although guarding their natural expansion would make their economy suffer, somehow I always miss our their voidray sneak and there goes my main base..

What can we do when people cannon up their base?

Tried Ultra + zergling, he just use zealots to tank my ultra while tons of cannon shooting behind..

Not a really a zerg player, but wouldn't muta decimate cannons? Get a big enough ball and you can probably blast through cannons.

With cannon + unit support is impossible rush through, muta are expensive is unwise to do so..

Well macro seems to be a more viable answer which I really lack of currently
