I know what you mean, from the Zerg side I love ZvT; I ride that mu so hard. A replay would be very helpful for an indepth critic but if I had to take a shot in the dark I'd say you don't use your vessels to their full potential. Thats, in my mind, what separates good and bad TvZ players is the bad ones just don't irradiate and go out on irradiating raids. They have all the vessels they just don't use them... also incorporating dropships into mid and late game is so so strong it makes me cry

(didn't read other than OP)

TvZ is hard, but keep in mind ZvT is also really hard - I'd say ZvT is harder. In TvZ you have so many options to abuse and screw with zerg and at low levels, you'll win every game just by using a quirky BO well.

If you think I'm a zerg player complaining, you're wrong - I'm a C/C+ terran and my best matchup is TvZ - I get trashed by C+ tosses :/

TvZ hard at D/D+ level? Hell just play a ramped map, make 2-3 rines and go 2 port wraith and that'll win almost everytime. You don't even need good micro, just need to have a bit of sense regarding what you should shoot. It often times won't win you the game outright but while you are harassing get an acad, add a rax or 2, and pump some m&m to kill the weakened Z (all off of one base.)

I'm sure your play could improve but it also seem that you have a mindset problem though. You are overestimating your opponent, a problem I myself often do as well. It's not a bad thing necessarily but it seems like everytime you start a TvZ your opponent has an auto-advantage because you think you will lose.

Btw: Don't feel that you must do FE into defend vs mutas every game. Switch it up with the old style of 1 base play. It's a lot of fun being the aggressor instead of the defender every game and is perfectly viable at the level you are playing.

Even WITH 200 apm you can be fucked. I remember a game where the Zerg bmed me at the end saying "if low apm don't play bio" and I was playing at like 230 apm FML

Tvz is why i play terran honestly...

just as you, i've found it very hard to play TvZ at D/D+ level. I know what you mean. I just massed games and then things started to go together. I had a zerg practice partner that always tell me that my timing is too slow, and everything is too slow. That was like an "aha" moment that made me realize that i needed to make everything faster, and pay constant attention to my idle scvs and rax. Thats what made me click...

I believe that once you get over this hump in TvZ, and when you hit C-/C/B- or even B, TvZ is a easy ride if you know 1 standard BO and practice the hell out of it vs all scenarios zergs can do. Hell, in TvP toss got reavers/DT/DT Drop, 14NEX, and so many gay shit u gotta practice for. TvZ is Zerg either 2 hatch or 3hatch, muta or lurker. IT cant get any harder than that.

5 stimmed firebats can kill a hatchery/expo in 10secs..

Zerg is tough in a sense that they cant really break their armies up in mid/early game, which they are prone to multi-area harrassments..

TvZ is not that bad... Especially Mutas. Just build several turrets in a small perimeter around your mineral line, that's what they usually aim for. You should spread out your buildings more, leave a path for your units to get back through your base so they don't get stuck. =P I'm pretty bad myself, probably worse than you... but that's why I happen to notice things when they work XD

Thanks for all of the suggestions on cheese -that was how I got to D+ in the first place... then started only playing Zs on Iccup and forcing myself to use Han Bang 3 Vessel 1 Tank build and I'm back at D. (Why I made this thread)

TvZ is getting me addicted to this game at a time when I really can't afford to be.

tvz is easy man, think of it this way at D levels especially just D up and get army that can roll z. like all u need is 2base, and just wait for good unit mix and ups and its easy game..

really?! it was my sole reason for playing starcraft 1v1s - i just racepicked either side of the matchup and cheesed in tvp. fucking fun, there's simply so many little things you HAVE to pay attention to and it's just a huge rush.

as for advice, i think lower level terrans seem to make the mistake of underestimating harass. they see progamers get away with minimal turrets and don't realize how much better the placement and mm micro needs to be to pull that off - just prioritize staying alive until you get a big mm/tank/vessel ball and roll the z. it's really hard to break a proper midgame t army for beginner zergs.

Staying alive... Q_Q

But yes, cheesing toss is a huge rush... nothing is more satisfying than BBSing a toss or rinescv rush when he gas steals you.
