would prefer ZvT mech? lol

I agree, I play Protoss (Don't stop reading now!) and I get cheesed by Terran A LOT, also Mech is a real pain to deal with.

I've played about 80% Terran myself, I wouldn't mind at all playing more Protoss games, Zerg would be nice too.

In one of my 3v3 games the opponent all went Protoss and my team had one of each race. The other team all went 4 gate (as we predicted) and were able to take out my main hatch but my natural and tech was saved by my team... then we turtled for a little bit and pushed out with roaches and a marauder marine thor combo while our Protoss player massed zealots and stalkers. We proceeded to destroy the other team in a quick sweep of vengeance and furor.

This was easily the most fulfilling game I've ever played. I hate people that all in.

I've noticed a lack of zergs at the lower levels.

Also, I've noticed that even in Bronze, I always get placed against Plat players. Still don't know why. I rarely play other Bronzes.

Assuming your ladder name is the same as your tl name, I was the zerg you played. I went roaches and tried to tech to mutas quickly but you got a spire 30 seconds earlier and I lost easily. In the chat you were talking about facing cheesy protosses. It was metalopolis and we were the positions close by air. My bnet name is Legion.

But yes I agree, it feels like the ladder consists mostly of deflecting 4 warpgate all day with intermittent zvts vs mech that go 25 minutes minimum. It's kinda strange that few protosses do 3 warpgate->expo->macro up gateway unit+colossus army as quickly as possible. That build is way more challenging than 4-warpgate to beat. The tester 2 gate zealot into fast expo is also really underused and powerful.
Our Protoss, Who art in Aiur HongUn be Thy name; Thy stalker come, Thy will be blunk, on ladder as it is in Micro Tourny. Give us this win in our daily ladder, and forgive us our cheeses, As we forgive those who play zerg against us.

hahaha! how can i forget the 1 out of 3 zergs i played. but yea i agree with you. I think i just need to tough it out and learn how to defend anything with 14 pool 15 hatch.

I stopped 14 pool 15 hatching against any race. Now I just 15 gas 15pool and it works perfectly fine. Idra was using it in some games in kotb tournament. I highly highly recommend it. Spoiler for which games I mention

I believe every single game in the finals vs tester he used a gas pool build.

Endless fighting vs 2gate, 4 warp gate, fast void rays, mass phoenix



Whoa whoa whoa... wait... you are mad about 2 gate? What else are we supposed to do? ~_~
I can understand why you are mad about fast voids, or mass phoenix, but 2 gate and 4 warp gate...? It's hard to understand why you are mad about that,..

I too used that build all day yesterday. It has it's pros and cons. It pretty much guarantee you an advantage against 2 gate, ramp cheese, hatch block, or some sort of very early terran aggro, but it results in a much weaker economy and a delayed tech. I would never want to be in a situation where I'd opened with that build instead of 14 pool 15 hatch vs terran mech or vs a defensive macro toss. Overall I think it's much better against protoss than it is against terran.

I'm starting to like cheese. All-ins are getting easy for me to fend off with scouting and a safe build. It's turtle terrans that sit until they get a 200/200 army that scare me.
