You need to have 84 drones mining. That will get you to Diamond 2. If you hover your mouse over your supply in the top right, it’ll actually show you how many drones you have :) You built 80 drones total. Your economy was bad. That’s why you lost. But keep trying! You got this!

I'm curious why you are so confident you can get to Diamond by bane busting? Did you read that somewhere?

Roaches don't really do well against Stalkers. It usually works because you usually have trice as much Roaches, but Toss adds few Immortals or Void Rays and your army ball is gone. That forces you to go for Hydra and Lurkers on a side, because the only other units you can do is Zerglings+ Banes, and thats too complicated macro-wise

Lovely

That first Protoss was pretty good. But like you said you were floating a bunch of minerals. The Cyber Core is basically like the spawning pool, you need it for all other tech and units. The only unit you can build without the Cyber Core is zealots. The Cyber Core allows Adepts and Stalkers. If you see it researching early it is for warp gate. If it's researching later on or you notice two of them then they are researching air upgrades.

I've been asking that myself.

roaches kill lings in 2 hits, that means 8 roaches will kill 8 lings then 8 more in 4 volleys. I choose 4 volleys because in that time, no roach will die. Now it's 8 roaches vs 10 lings, who wins?

Nice methodical win that last game.

My favorite thing to do when I play ling/bane (when playing in general) is to remap my left click and right click to W and F, and then I can put control groups onto left click and right click so that I can really easily fight with three different armies simultaneously.

Yeah, someone who can control ling-bane in zvz is terrifying. That’s why I wall off super early, get the minimum amount of banes out (like, 4) and then get 2 more gasses and start printing roaches. I’m more comfortable controlling them. Gg!

Nice games.

The last game was probably over with the Battle cruiser anyway but you should have just avoided the planetary and the bunker and went straight into the main. Fun watch anyway.

Hydras are *not* decent anti air. That’s a mistake. They can be ok anti air inside a microbial shroud and/or massive carapace upgrades advantage. Or against mass void ray. Other than that corruptors are way, waay better anti air. If Protoss has carriers out, you pretty much need spire. Two spires if you can afford them, in order to get both upgrades. It’s either that or you get some infestors out and try to kill them with shroud right now. If they get to 6 carriers and you don’t have a spire up yet, you might as well gg. 6 carriers kill infinite amounts of hydra.

2:49 when your overlord arrives you look for timings: gate should most definitely be finished, if not --> greedy nexus first (move a bit further up to check) Cybercore just starting -> nexus before core means no super early adepts possible Core close to finished means core before nexus --> you need safety lings for adepts You only lose the overlord when first unit is a chronoboosted (spedup) stalker and you are slow in pulling it to a safety highground/airspace If the first two units are adepts, fly to the mainbase to check the techbuilding (stargate or robo, or twilight)

The first bane bust wasn't a success at all, but it should have been. My tip in this situation (helions spawning but wall breached with ling bane): practice to split off 2 banes / a few lings Visualize this: 2banes into mineral line, 6 lings into mainbase mineral line, rest of ling bane to the helions "autoattack" To do this practice to box a few units, or select all units and move them somewhere, shift click a few units out of the selected group and move the rest somewhere else Also do not follow a scouting scv around. There is no gain, you only lose mining time. Around 1mineral/second*drone not mining The only "scetchy" thing the terran can do with a normal timed scv scout would be a bunker for the reaper, but you see with the 2nd overlord and isnt threatening at all

You are a gamer!!!

The recommendation was “hydra den and infestation pit together”. Especially true if you are rushing lurkers and don’t want to make hydras (otherwise you get infestation pit with the hydra upgrades) If the Protoss is outmaneuvering you, you need more creep for vision and overseers with your army in order to kill observers

To counter reaper rushes, make a bunch of queens. Keep the transfuses going. EZPZ. As a rule, always have at least one dedicated creep spread queen spawned in immediately after your hatch queens, regardless. Also, stop using F2. Use 1, 2, and 3 for army, (1 lings, 2 banes, 3 mutas for example) and 4 for hatch queens. Try it, get good at it, and diamond is yours.

You should probably keep an Overseer with your army to take out observers.

Interesting to see that the Terran was on 3 Bases. I’ve been told Zerg needs to be up a base to keep up economically. On the income tab the numbers underneath the minerals and gas just means how much income they are currently pulling in.

Don’t worry too much. Everyone makes mistakes. Last Monday Reynor blocked his own hatchery with his own creep tumor. It’s fine. The important thing isn’t not making mistakes, it’s improving and also having fun.

You're definitely better than I am

The last game you said you were ahead of him economically after your first attack but I'm not so sure. It was 2 base terran vs 2 base zerg. It would have been interesting to see the replay and look at worker counts and resource income after mules.

1st game is a good example of why you can’t afford to make mistakes in the first minutes of the game. Any part of your build that’s late in the early game weakens you exponentially. Final nail in the coffin was forgetting ling speed.

No, lurkers are the answer to storm. They can tank 2 storms and not die. Storm doesn’t stack. By the time storms are done, both armies are dead. Then Zerg remaxes faster.

I would personally love to see you hone in on canon rushes every once in awhile. That's good content right there. edit: Also, I think you'd be good at it. In case you weren't aware, Mana has a series on it I found quite useful to learn from.

WC3 workers in a brand new game for a futuristic space-faring race is just dumb. This game just turns me off in almost every way.

That's rough especially after taking out those 3 Colossus. I'm Terran around your MMR and storms cause me lots of trouble too. Maybe your aggressive opening hurt your economy too much and the game just snowballed out of reach?

As a lurker enjoyer, I would recommend building the hydra den together with the infestation pit if you have the resources. Then you can pair the lurker den and the hive together, and get the lurker upgrades as soon as hive is done.

Crazy pizza dogs ftw. Good Luck Have Banelings!

I'm not a zerg player but against storms I think you need to try and split your units or at least not have them clumped up. You ate some fat storms at the ramp. Against those DT maybe overlord speed upgrade would have helped or to put your overseers in that stationary mode at your bases.

This patch feels like a very cool proof of concept. The boosted mining rates make openers feel sooooo much smoother, and creeping feels like an option that gives a small reward for map control as opposed to something you are mandated to do. On the other hand, no changes to Therium mining makes teching feel like it doesn't keep pace, it scales like crazy after 3 bases, and the asymmetry between factions has lead to some really wild balance. It's nothing that can't be fixed, and I think the faster economy is a good direction for the game, but it feels like the wild west to play right now.

dead game

You don't see that ending everyday, lol.

2 minutes in and bro is Overlord juking 1 marine while floating 700 minerals. Just build 2 ovies and MOVE ON! Lol 😅😂❤

The Raven is Terran's detection unit. From playing Terran I can tell you early stalkers are really annoying. That was a fun watch.

Eugh. Protoss. So disgusting.

ggs

Tonight we try banelings

That terran game I thought you basically killed all his workers. I thought he was dead for sure.

Game 1 looked weak for a 2900 Protoss. Like no wall and working off one base? You could have sent lings in at anytime to see what he was doing. As a 2800 Terran I can tell you the early reaper micro is not worth it even if i would get 2 drones because my own macro would go down the toilet and I would be further behind than if I did no reaper micro. Game2, lol the terran had decent hellion control hitting your banes but then lets his workers explode. The story of plat apm, lol. Hey what server are you on if I may ask? I'm on EU and we have that stupid ladder bug that gives us bronze league. EDIT: no idea why google recommends your 6 day old video and not your recent one.

What time is it? It’s baneling time!

Nice wins at the beginning.

Have to say that guys phoenix control was pretty good.

Today I learned zergs have build orders. Plat terran here, ha.

Maybe try missing in curruptors with your mutas to deal with the Phoenixes

Banelings

Jesus fucking Christ wtf man - you aren’t going to fucking catch them. Stop fucking chasing them.

This makes me want to play again

Congratulations on Plat 1! Woohoo!
