Bloody hell, i have this very big trouble dealing with Toss at gold level. I must be missing something...

(just lost to a 4gate (again!) and robogate)

ya, i kena once b4, he just do enuf roaches to fend off my hellions, den i overreacted to tank, marauders and banshee, he just used muta to rofl me....hmm.....i think im going to experiment a new strategy tonight...

had u all tried.......fast reactor starport? mass vikings about same amount as muta, from theory, same amount of viking wins muta so u can get air control, get alot of free overlords, force zerg to hydra. no hydra = instant GG. the default way to win hydra is no creep spread....hydra without creep lose to anything. with creep tank would be the hard counter. but i think a splinter of raven to clear creep + infantry will be enuf........will try with build order tester later....and now you get map control, zerg have 0 map control (imagine u kena contain by muta harrass at 2 mineral line....same situation for zerg now....sounds orgasms enuf for me)

if not, maybe marine raven build from team liquid?

but if im playing on lost temple, i nvr had issue with zerg, just cliff drop the hell of him!!! thorship build almost never lose on close air position....

Added on December 3, 2010, 1:27 pmwon a 1600 diamond zerg at metalopolis today.....but im trying to convince myself i won not because he resisted to out muta XD its in custom game tho....maybe he want to try to win a terran without muta....XDD

what i tried in that game, reactored marine hellion turtle in base, throw a scan at my....2nd/3rd 50 mana? saw he transfering drone, i noe he is just building up his econ, i throw down my expo and push out with marine hellion. saw alot of static defence (5+ spine and lings). now i know he is turtling in 2 base to build up econ for a massive push (i thought was muta) so start to produce medivec start to drop rines and hellions at his base to keep him in his foot (+ his statis defence got no use against drops) and i start to build up siege tanks, raven, marauders.....while still constantly pressuring with marine and hellions with drops....then i put a hellion at all possible 3rd expo position, and use all my force to deny his 3rd. use all i can to deny 3rd....and a 3rd is very important to zerg so he kept on trying to get 3rd also...he tried 3-4 times and i noe i won adi after denying 3 times.....cuz he is desperate for money but he cant make it...while i adi have 3 bases and building up my 4th....basically i just wait him to starve and push me with ultras, den bam, massive push and won.

tl:dr, in tvz i think my new mindset is

-pressuring with early units (drops, hellions, rines) to keep him on his foot + full map control with hellions
-dun lose in economy, my natural expo must be up, then i can support splinter ambush + bunkers siege tanks to defend myself.
-winning point, wait him go for 3rd (a sign he is starving) then destroy his 3rd at all cost. then take a 3rd urself.
afterall, he didnt out muta so i think my statements will be harder to do if they went muta XD need about 2 turrents and thors to defend...=(

one base no adrenaline rush le. 

one base timing is like tfk. no fore-play, no special style, no partner interaction and no superb satisfying feeling. 

Rule of Thumb
1) scout with your 1st stalker, hug ur opponent's ramp when before u go up his ramp to see whether got marauder shooting u, then u can run away, if not when u go up the ramp u have no chance of running cuz of the marauder slow - credit for combatex. if u see only marines, u can assume marine tank banshee raven coming to u, otherwise, marine tank which this will hit rather earlier cuz the terran would be skipping banshee and raven, keep going up and down the ramp to make sure he has only marines

so sad for protoss. as all the pros had said, protoss need to guess in PvT

AND

take huge risk just to even out...

cuz its like, you need to go for a specific build to win 1-1-1, but ur opponent can just fake a 1-1-1 and punish you.

a nice little TvP build for fellow terran brethen.

1 rax gas build, hide ur 2nd rax at far end of ur base. float ur 1st rax away and make reactor. make a bunker in front, show only marines at ur ramp. 2nd rax wif techlab research stimpack, then grenade. push out at 50 food with 10 scv.

if the protoss went for a 1 gate fe into robo, impossible he can hold.

king of bunker rush, SlayerSBoxer is back in code A!!

bunkers? turrents? marines range 5 only cant reach the broodlords...well unless snipe..but i took spectre instead..damn

I'm getting roach rush almost everytime when I do reactor hellion FE. The best thing I feel now is to do a timing push with 3 tanks, kill the natural and then turn back. With gas invested in roaches instead of baneling, timing push to the natural can be done but cannot overextend as the new born wave of roaches/zergling is certain to clear off the 1st timing-push army.

jeff... u go back and check match history of that game. i only destroyed one unit less than you and i had razed more structures than you. but you out-resource me by a large margin.

in another words, i destroyed more than you with a smaller amount of forces. but you win becoz of economics.

this is the part i dont quite like about SC2, its a resources game, not a strategy game. its not about superior tactics but superior money.
