EPTMost people play on (2) or (3) player maps which minimizes the choices you must making during the game.
Or maybe I'm just making it hard on myself

If he makes substantial number of DT's, he's wasting gas if you are prepared for detection PvT is harder than TvP at higher levels, or at least thats what me + my friends believe EDIT: What makes your blog post worse is that you admitted that you were trash talking to the opponent just because you lost. And you don't even feel remorse for it. BM as hell =/ PvT is much easier for protoss, and with muta micro now TvZ isnt as imba as PvT. And at higher levels P still > T i find. Anyway a discussion like this is pretty useless, as people always say taht the race they play is harder than any other race (I can't count how many zergs say protoss is OP with storms), and I'm no exception I guess lol Anyway on topic, a replay would really really help. No1 can help you without seeing what youre doing wrong. Are you laying mines everywhere? If u are then mass DTs are totally negated. Are you getting flanked? If you are theres something wrong with the way u push out and your unit placement. Is protoss taking the entire map? Then you need to work on your timing attacks. If protoss flanks your push and takes the map then congratulate him for doing what hes supposed to do. TvP is a lot less intuitive than TvZ I find. | ||

Conclusion: Protoss requires less micro and can just go back to macro This already stops working at D+ level though, the micro required to beat a terran push increases with the micro put into constructing the push. At D level you can just A move, at D+ you already need to clone zeals to move on tanks instead of attacking mines, micro goons to shoot and step forward, drop zeals from shuttles onto tanks, clone storms, do stasis, otherwise you get melted. It isnt hard to micro a terran push, its hard to micro it and macro/multitask at the same time, but its easier for the protoss to do the same. | ||

Also, in certain positions you can slow push really easily into the protoss nat and take a easily defendable third (12/9, 6/3). Its just like any other map, you can't just do one build on every map and expect it to win. Flash style quick 3rd builds just don't work unless you take the island. EDIT: And lol TvZ is SOO imba at low levels. I know I can't for the life of me successfully muta harass while taking a third teching lurkers and macroing properly. Meanwhile Terran just does 3 tank 1 vessel push and kills zerg before defilers are out. TvZ is probably my second highest win % mu, after PvT. | ||

As a Terran, your already at odds with the huge center battlefield, and your third base will always be different so it enhances your decision making skills.

Or maybe I'm just making it hard on myself Actually the number of viable cheeses are smaller on 4 player maps then 2 or 3 player maps which might make them abit easier to some people. | ||

Cause it takes insane APM to click drone ---> right click expo on minimap and to click hydra den ---> click lurker aspect right? I agree that muta haras and macro are hard to do together, but it doesnt take more than 3 clicks to tech to lurkers lolol. Besides muta harass doesnt last too too long and since terran builds have adapted to its timing the whole point is just to camp mutas to prevent a terran from moving out for a while. Not like its constant micro. Every race has its difficulties. I find marine micro vs good lurkers / zerglings pretty hard, and once defilers are out its just a bitch but thats oly my opinion | ||

+ Show Spoiler + but on a serious note... Brush up on your build orders buddy. On python a 1 fac cc is a safe build that will secure you a semblance of balance. Once you secure your natural take the island bases at the 1 or 7. Those bases are safe (relatively) and will secure you a money advantage. 8 Factories heading into the late game is optimal with 3-4 focused on tank production. Double armories and sci vessels are needed to stop recalls and melt goons But seriously.. good TvP comes with time. practice s'more | ||

Playing SK Terran TvZ is obviously incredibly difficult and no D Terran should be expected to consistently pull it off, but a more Tank centered Bio play isn't too intense, even with the shabby macro that is to be expected from us low level players. | ||

ZvT is notoriously difficult. You need ridiculous control to stall a terran and keep him in his base while you secure a third gas and hive tech. Even a 200/200 swarm/ultraling army is hard to control. Spreading swarms, consuming and whatnot takes a lot out of a man. So i'm always impressed when a Terran is statistically good vs Protoss, or when Zerg is good vs a Terran. Pure SK terran in a TvZ is sooo hard. 300 apm is a necessity with proper control.. near impossible for the D/C ranks | ||

The last game i played i was literally delayed about an hour by a terran who refused to leave the game even though i had him contained with a 200/200 army and i was on 5 bases, him on 2. I suicided half my army into his tanks and built carriers, but even as they were ready he kept refusing that the game was over even though he was mined out and had no units building, nor was he able to. Terran's are so bm. oh the irony~ | ||
