Replay: Loss vs Bennywoods (P) – Shakuras Plateau
Random player! Don’t see many of those!
That was a LOT of colossi! Fortunately for me, I was emphasizing getting hydras! I’m starting to think that my opponents must just be scouting and countering what I do. 🙂 Also, I’m just not very good at the game, in the end. Oh well!
Replay: Loss vs Yuncun (P) – Scrap Station
Lost to a 4-gate. Lesson learned: don’t rush to mutas without:
I think I ended up training drones as Yuncun was attacking… Not the brightest move. I do need to make sure I have an overlord closer to the entrance of my opponent’s base, instead of off to the side. That way, I can see my opponent’s units as early as possible, and respond quickly.
Actually, now that I think about it, I should probably just have a zergling or two out there, instead of overlords. I already get supply blocked enough without sacrificing overlords…
Replay: Loss vs Dan (P) – Lost Temple
Really, I was just outplayed. Went a two-hatch opening that I really liked, though, so I reckon I’ll give that another shot. Just have to be able to make a proper army, and be better able to bust through a fortified position. I guess ultimately, if I had gone for map control instead of a direct confrontation, I could have eventually starved the Protoss out… Hm!
Replay: Loss vs StereoMarx (T) – Blistering Sands
The only thing I want to see when watching this replay is that my worker count was consistently high… I tried to focus on making workers, to see how it felt. I think I should have made some spine crawlers instead of a bunch of zerglings. Especially if I’m going to make a point of not having an army. 🙂
Replay: Loss vs CptLaxSauce (P) – Xel’Naga Caverns
As much as I’d love to just identify the reason I lost this match as “I played poorly because I’m out of practice”, I’d be doing myself a disservice to not look more closely.
Replay: Loss vs Droider (P) – Jungle Basin
Big problem with Zerg is when you make a building, it consumes a drone. Ended up with a decent enough fighting force and no drones collecting resources. Whoops. 🙂 I did manage to scout Droider’s proxy pylons, which I thought was nice. Didn’t matter much ultimately, though.
Apparently only platinum players play this late! And I shouldn’t be, because I didn’t have a plan, I didn’t follow the checklist, and I didn’t expand when I should have.
