I sometimes feel bad for Zergs I beat in TvZs because I know just how it feels to build what seems like a strong army and watch it splash, helplessly, against the turtled Terran again and again and again and then to just lose when he pushes back with a moderately sized but dangerously strong force.
My Zerg opponent went for a quick Roach Warren so I anticipated a fast rush. It never game, but I had my Marauders up with Concussive Shell anyway. I kept building out of 3 Rax, got a Factory up with Siege Mode and put down a second OC and finally he attacked twice. I defended both pretty handily (not sure if I lost anything in the attacks except a few supply depots) and then retaliated to win.
He kinda divided up his tech too much. Banelings and Roaches by 8 minutes feels like more money spent on tech than on units. Not strictly speaking true, but it just has that feel to me.
I played a few ZvZs last night, lost both pretty badly. The first one I lost to a quick Muta rush and then I Rage queued into the ladder and immediately hit the second one. I need to rethink how I approach that matchup. The first if I'd thought more about what I was scouting I would have realized Mutas were coming and could have been prepared a *little* faster, which was all I needed. For the second, he went 6-pool into ling / baneling which screams of a muta follow-up and I neither scouted nor predicted it.
Actually to be fair to myself I did expect the Mutas, just not in the number he had at the speed he had. I need to rewatch that replay.
