Gluten for Punishment

I don't even know why I queued up again today.

Of course I f-ing lost again.  I rolled Protoss versus Terran and decided to just built up and he built.  I tech'd and expanded and he..never did anything.  Never pushed out, never expanded..never did anything but sit in his base.

I should have flashed back to the days where that spelled disaster for me as a Zerg, but I didn't.

Instead I setup some Zealots in his natural and held waiting to contain..started building immortals to go with my Blink Stalkers and Charge Zealots.

Which is when he dropped a huge army into the back of my base full of Marines and Marauders and just ripped me apart.

Amazingly I haven't been demoted to Bronze yet.  But I'm sure it's only a matter of time.  Every game today is worse than the game before.

Hrm

Apparently I suck today.

Lesson Learned, I am terrible.  I cannot beat anyone in any situation.

I don't even know what to say.  I tried to go zergling mutalisk.  He built marines and tanks off one base and steamrolled everything I did.  I forgot to put guys in gas early so my zergling speed was late, but not late enough to matter.  I...I don't know.  I just suck.

Warpgate x 4

I don't know how to 4 Warpgate.

I don't know how to defend a 4 Warpgate.

So...when I'm presented with PvP I typically lose.

I built a pylon in the back of my opponents base which he failed to scout and I warped into his base.  Unfortunately the timing of this with my 3 Warpgates was equal to the timing of his 4 Warp onto my ramp.  So what started as an attempt to keep him back in his base until I could get more going in my base..turned into simply a failure.

Build Build Build Build Build Build Build

Some days I don't know what's wrong with me.

Build SCVs, Build Supply Depots, Build Unit Producing Structures, Build Units.

Or I could just build a few things, mine minerals and get rolled.

Today's lesson: Don't stop building.  Don't stop to watch the units.  Don't worry about micro.  Just keep building and expanding and building and expanding.

Way to talk smack!

Man did I lose that game.  After talking so confidently about my PvZ I went and lost tremendously tonight.

He did gateways and robo, pretty strongly.  Slow expand but that's not un-normal for what I see.  I did an early expand with zerglings and roaches.  Unfortunately I failed to think *Past* that.  I droned horribly and he stomped me with his first push.

I defended, barely, and remacroed tremendously well.  But I did it too hard and didn't build units fast enough so when he came in again, I got rolled...again.  I just didn't tech fast enough.

He earned in.  And had nice manners, I GG'd out but he sent me a /message after just to be sure I wasn't mad.  So I respect the guy for that.

ZvP I'm much more comfortable with

I certainly don't win all my ZvPs, far from it I'm sure, but it's a much more comfortable scenario for me than a lot of other matches.  Mass hydra, hydra roach, mass speed/baneling, muta ling.  Whatever....

Admittedly the guy I played wasn't exactly a master leaguer.  He opened heavy on the cannons, I think he planned on cannon rushing but I shoo'd his probe out, early expanded and went to mutas as quick as I could.  He expanded and went heavy gateway units.

Fortunately it was metalopolis and we had close by air starting positions so I put zerglings outside of his natural and mutas outside of his main and just made him run back and forth and back and forth or split his army into sizes that were manageable for me.

Eventually he just GG'd out.  Well he quit..I guess he didn't technically say GG.

Lesson for the day?  Attacking in multiple places is good.

ZvZ again

ZvZ, I lost terribly.  I went for my roach defend, but it was a huge macro map and there was no need...I didn't see him forever.  So I had my roaches out and....nothing.  I started expanding my economy and nothing.  I started getting my hydras out and he pushed in with Mutas.  But at that point he had a bigger economy more well established and I was on my back legs.
