You realize that a medivac is a lot slower than a warp prism with speed? And the colossus isn't the annoying part the lack of a unit that instantly kills the drop ship is.

Your opening isn't optimal but not to bad. I would suggest combat shields as the +10 hp makes a huge difference, stim also really helps against tanks as you can close them down faster and snipe them faster. Having no stim really hurt you during your 14 min attack.

Also you attack too late. Going 111 without an expo it takes ~8 mins to get tanks out, with a expo ~10 mins. If you had left at 10 mins you could have probably strait out won.

Build more production facilities. You have 3 bases, 4k minerals, and 1k gas at 17 mins. Easily could have added tech labs / reactors to you barracks and had another 2-3 factories.

All in all you out Macroed the shit out of him. A lot of that was because he wan't trying to expand. You should have kept your tanks alive and used them to contain him because he could have expanded if he was better. A few tanks out side of the base makes sure that never happens.

Also drops. The top left (where his upgrades were) and the bottom right of his natural could have been dropped at. Sniping the starport, armories, or those unseiged tanks would have been a big help.

All in all you macro is great for the bronze level; your decision making and control is a bit raw but that will be refined with time. I would also play around with that opening and see if you can optimize a 10 min doom push with as many marines as possible. You can outright win many games with 30+ marines at that level.

You can also drop mules for when its late game and the guy just has too much AA to for you to be able to get a medivac close.

lol

benching/lifting = physical activities so its at least half the equation and the bit most ignored.

Yeah I know also I just started playing when this season began. I mostly play silver and the occasional gold opponent now so I'm looking forward to the season ending. Still hate being in the bottom of any competition though.

lol makes scene. I think its actually a good idea as you have to macro while you attack, something FilterSC guides never really teach.

Glaaki · 5 days

Why as a Terran are you a disciple of a average Zerg player?

nihilistyounglife · 7 days

There are not that many small chokes outside of your main and natural.

SarcasmMonster · 8 days

Hellions already fuck up zerg with a bit of micro. Also it looks like the flame is much shorter meaning less splash damage.

I would play the AI and do the opening 3-4 times against a very easy opponent. You do sloppy things like forget to return the rally point to the mineral line. 3-4 SCVs had a 10-15 second delay before you got them harvesting. Also have the guy who makes the depo make the rax. All workers go strait to mining except 2. For me 10 food makes depo, rax, then depo and SVC at 11 food goes to scout.

Also F1 selects any unoccupied workers. Get into the habit of pressing it every couple of seconds. It will help keep you efficient and busy.

Go ahead and queue up your SCVs. 2-3 queued is better than multiple 3-5 second gaps.

Scouting is to allow you to react to early aggression. If your opponent is building cannons then there not likely to be aggressive so go ahead and expand as soon as possible.

You don't use rally locations or control groups for your buildings. Also you researched every upgrade that isn't stim. Stim is the shit. Stim first unless TvT.

You have some very large holes at the most basic level. Please take a look at FilterSC guides. Start easy playing the AI until you execute them flawlessly (ex. hit all the benchmarks and never get supply blocked).

Also check out Day9's back to basics. Really helped me out as it really breaks down the game to the very very basics.

I'm bronze playing silver/gold players (which I don't understand) but Thorzane's TvT opener is really really strong. I almost always get a good contain or win the game our right.

For me about 25-30 marines leave at about 8:30 with +1, stim, and combat shield. Tanks productions starts around 8 and they start arriving to siege up right outside or your opponents natural (unless you marines win the game outright).

Is Zerg your main race? Because it is by far my hardest match-up I would love some feedback on my play style.

malateman · 9 days

Unless you have very good late game micro against the death ball I suggest going more marauder heavy. They can handle the AOE from late game protoss units much longer.

chris-martin · 9 days

Well I guess I'll go to sleep then :(

DerpSalad · 9 days

Only thing I want to see is some way to counter HT without having to EMP them or snipe them. Collosi are not bad, just be careful with the vikings. A large pack of well split HT just fucks me up every time :(

Also since all we have is the midgame I would love someway to get past 1 damn force field.

Lostalotofmen · 10 days

Curious for some feedback for what I've been doing.

I've been 111ing off of 1 base. I usually push at the 8 min mark with ~3 tanks and ~20 or so marines when +1 attack finishes. I sometimes win outright and if not get a good contain. Stream units to the contain and keep expanding while building lots of vikings which also serve to patrol for drops.

Usually try to have good coverage of the map with sensor towers too.

Also I'm silver.

For some reason if I have multiple CC bound to 1 group it wont all ways build for all of them.

avoidingadulthood · 10 days

If I 1 rax expo I do about 90% of the time. I've been 111ing off or 1 base a bit lately so I don't then.
