Why do I lose D games when I play Protoss?
I thought it was easier at the D levels then T and Z.
I'm like 8-4 right now and the losses were to legit D levels.

I've been meaning to blog since I haven't done so in a while but this most recent loss to a 100-200 stat Terran kind of annoyed me. Protoss is sooo unforgiving to aggressive mistakes. Really I have a terrible habit of running into Zerg sunkened bases and storming my own observers. Also when I have twice the apm of my zerg opponent I get pretty mad. I know that my overall sense of Protoss play is crap since I've never played them as my main but still it's sucky losing like this.

Man I really need to get active again and start shooting for B-. If any D+/C-/C clans are around I'm looking to join one. My play is obviously very sloppy but I'll get back to my normal form soon. Max rank for other two races was C so I should hopefully be able to hit that with P soon.

So.. other then bw, I've been at my university for about 3 months now. I love it a lot but I haven't gotten to play much recently due to the change. I'm at Case and I know a few teamliquiders are here but I haven't met any of them. Where are you at?

What? Protoss is truly easy against real D players... half the time the zergs die to your first attack.

It's probably because you just don't have an idea how to play Protoss. I remember when I first tried playing Terran I lost to all sorts of dumb shit like 1hatch lurks, 1base carriers, etc., because I had absolutely no idea wtf I was doing.

Hey, don't complain about an 8-4 record. We bad D players deserve some respect.

If your mechanics are better than D level, all you have to do in PvZ is build units and micro them. One base zeal/goon is plenty to win.
My strategy is to fork people.

Protoss is piss easy on low levels, you're probably unlucky.
Terran is in my opinion the most demanding race to play at D\D+.

until you figure out that you can 2 fac/ bunker/siege tank rush your way to C.

avoid TvT at all costs basically unless you know what your doing

Depends. If you find a D- with 600 or less points, you can build your main in his base.

[image loading]

heres an example. he reset his stats after that game. lololol
as a D Protoss player, i dont forge fe vs Ds. You MUST 10/12 him to win with ez (constant zealot pressure on Zerg)

When you play PvT, DT drop into fast arbriters generally wins a lot of games.

Wait, you're D.
Your opponents are D.
And you're complaining about an 8-4 record? You know you only need a 33% win rate to hold D right?

"Protoss is sooo unforgiving to aggressive mistakes."

Also I find this hilarious with the most durable units in the game.

God I don't see how anyone can find Terran easier to play than anything...


When I first switched from Terran to Zerg... I felt like I was a god at the game.

haha that's exactly why I switched from P to Z.
The mistakes are very unforgiving. One second late cannon = gg from muta, one scourged observer = gg contain bust
it's all too precise
zerg at least I can "generally" attak move, "generally" dodge storm, "generally" flanking ect, felt more error friendly

Protoss is indeed very unforgiving to aggresive mistakes. Your units may have a lot of hp, but if you lose that army, you're not getting another one for a while, during which time zerg will have map control and fuck you over. Not to mention, it's actually easy to lose your army because templars can be sniped if you aren't careful, and then if the zerg is at your level he will roll your face.

But of course, Terran is more unforgiving
One hold position lurker field can kill you for good!

Protoss is the hardest race (least starleague wins etc), don't worry about it man. just man up and play the manly race.
