I found that pushes with SCV really could change the tide of battle. Just remember to activate auto-repair.

No units will auto-target your SCVs unless its an area attack. A longer lasting thor/tanks may be enough to change to tide of battle.

Ya, Mengsk =D

There's no exactly one way to play a RTS game. You always need to react to what zerg is doing.

For protoss/zerg rushes, prepare a few SCVs at your choke point to repair your wall and put down bunkers in advance to increase the defense damage. Most of the time you will have no prob defending unless you screwed up on macro.

2 bunkers sound like overkill. I'm not sure what league are you but a high level players won't just attack a terran's front door without preperation.

I can see that you have solid defense and a slightly fast expansion. If I'm a zerg I would expand faster than you and macro like crazy since you are "turtling". All your units have low mobility so a zerg wouldn't worry much.

Yes, keep losing =)

Muta is really common against terran. That's the only way to contain a terran to outmacro them. If not zerg has no chance against mech

Going muta is only one of the viable options against meching/turtling terran. It still largely depends on map's variables.

Most of my statements are based on certain assumptions that might not apply to ALL games. For example rather than going muta, ambushing terran with lings/burrow roaches could make a big difference than battling head-on with mech army.

I've also watched a Korean matche where the terran won by destroying 3 hatcheries simultaneously with MMM drop. That's where mutas are important to keep your bases safe from dropships. Everything else is way too slow in such occasion

Terran balls are never imba, just that they complain a good mix of mech centric army imba. But its just based on how good the zerg is in controlling the map while terran turtling
