King. Thanks so much. I guess I can rebind in the game menu. Thanks for this awesome tip.
I’ve been learning from Magnifico on the Z v T match up. Ling/bane/muta CONTAIN actually works pretty well. Don’t worry about invading their super defense, just expand and maintain map control with speedlings/mutas. Keep scouts at every expansion and stop them from expanding. Make them use up their mineral line/vespene and come to you. It’s a long game, but I’ve started to get Terran to surrendur before I’ve even entered their base just by controlling the map with an iron fist. There were too many lings/overlords/whatevers everywhere to counter any movement at all. They couldn’t get away with medivac drops because most of the air was scouted so I just followed the vacs with speedlings/mutas and either killed the drops outright before they landed or 1v1 from the lings as the medivacs started to drop.
You have to be extremely tenacious, but it can work.
…and the match up is still stupid. I have a feeling it’s only working because of Terran players getting to comfy with Zerg players throwing away units on their wall that they just repair. Against GOOD players with super skillful harassment things can go several ways.
Personally as a Zerg player TvZ 1v1 is not that infuriating at all. Idra’s 15 hatch fast expo/14 pool is bringing me plenty of wins in Platinum league. Even if the Terran does try to do some funky shit like Reaper harass/Infantry rush, I can easily counter it with good scouting and careful placement of spine crawlers with ling/queen support. Early Terran bio units can’t do shit against a good Zerg defense. If my scouting drone sees that the Terran likes to sit back at their base, I usually take a risk and get a really fast lair with minimal to no ling support. Sometimes this backfires, but most of the time it guarantees me an easy win.
Once you get that lair you have so many more options. Hydras/Roaches with overlord speed and transport for roach bombing tanks…muta harass…infestors with fungal growth to rape Terran bio. Really, this match ain’t too hard at all as long as you don’t throw units at that wall.
Now Zerg vs a solid Protoss is another story. Seriously that MU is so unbalanced right now…I want my lurkers back =(
Alright, I’m finally back at home so add me if you want to play a complete noob.
Does Contamination on a hatchery freeze up eggs or/and larvae spawn?
Yo Reazen, I heard you’re completely new too so I’m gonna add you.
Anyone else who’s completely new, or willing to guide a noob, add me. I have just played my 11th game of Starcraft, lifetime.
That matchup is hugely map dependent. On a smallish map, it’s free for Protoss. On larger maps with lots of expands and routes, it favors Zerg. This game is incredibly broken in some places it makes you wonder why you keep playing it.

any of you have the graphics card overheating issue? I know when I play, my computer starts to sound like a damn vacuum cleaner! That prompted me to look into overheating issues with SC2, where I found out that there are some issues at hand.
depends if the map is small zerg should go for a rush, if the map is big or med, I go for roaches till I make a ton of mutas. Mutas are a lot faster then hydras and can fly and can only be hit by flyers or ground that can shoot air. And keep attacking with mutas till I have lots of roaches and mutas to finish them off
That’s a risky build. Stalkers are good against both roaches and mutas, your opponent won’t need to adapt at all.
I need some people to team up with on matching or for some customs, feels like I can’t get any better getting paired up with randoms.

There’s no way for me to add you to this list until you give me your 3 digit identifier along with your name.
Man I’m having a completely different experience with similar strats haha. Just shows you how dynamic the player base is I suppose. The only Protoss that have been giving me a really hard time are the ones who abuse those colossi backed up with stalker support to kill my mutas. Well, that and I really need to get better about killing observers in my base instead of just giving toss free info all game.
My main problem with Terran is the factory. I have NO problem with bio balls+medivac support, but those factory units are insane. Ultimately it just boils down to the constant splash damage that fucks me up the hardest.
I am actually Pissbowlin 305
my bad
hmm some times, it all depends on what there going for and scouting with mutas helps counter. I never win with Hydras they cost to much and do to little, they cost 100, which they should cost 75, there slow and not good for scouting. Mutas can fly and are a lot faster. Even vs Stalkers they cant take on mutas and roaches at the same time.
Always up for a game and practice partners. I play protoss, ehwhoknows.503.
I updated the thread guys.
Is it just me or are the custom games full of garbage players? Sometimes I just want to sit back with a beer and not worry about my ranking but I always get paired up with people who seem to be discovering what a zergling is for the first time. I picked Protoss for maybe the third time today and beat a guy who mained toss.

I like playing teams mainly and sometimes use protoss. Custom games are full of people that want to do nothing but mass reapers, ghosts, or carriers off of 1 base and quit as soon as they get attacked.
