So I got a little demoralized after losing 3 games in a row (not so bad but I should have won 2 of those...) so ended with only 6 games then did a ton of 2v2.

Starting rank: 11 platinum
Finishing rank: 6 platinum
Games played: 6
Games won: 3

Notes: Standard stuff supply blocking, hotkeys , macro etc.
Would love some feedback on the ZvP on Desert Oasis.

ZvZ: Continued with +1 zergling aggression, lost 1 game to a 10 pool followed by a runby.

ZvP: lost 2 games I shouldn't have lost and beat 1 protoss who proxy 2 gates me.

Criticism etc appreciated.

One last note my goal isnt about just getting to diamond, if it where I'd switch to protoss and 4 gate every game, my goal is to get better but I like to think that getting better leads to bigger and better things, like being number 1 diamond for example. besides I play zerg, without 6 pooling how do you get to diamond without being good? lol.

Edit 2: Replays!

eh, ill watch ur replays tomorrow about to sleep. but as a zerg, i use to get owned by 4 gates too, the key is just to tech slower and try to scout better, with the new zealot nerfs ive noticed that early game is A LOT easier, but anyways ill look at the reps tmr and try to give some tips ^^

I feel like the toughest part of zerg is getting that step ahead. It took me a lot of games to get the feeling for the early game but then after that I launched into 1000 diamond zerg. What really made me get better is saccing that overlord right before you get that uncomfortable feeling. It was tough saccing an ovie since I never did that in BW often, but it really doesn't set you that far behind in sc2. Also getting supply blocked is the worst, as zerg since those drones are so crucial early game.

I feel like overlords should give more supply when morphed into overseer. Terran has supply drop which they don't need.

hey soz for the late reply, been busy, anyways heres my analysis:

okay for the first zvz you shouldve scouted and saved some larvae for more lings at the start, basically he had 6 lings in your base when u were making just 1 pair of lings, never hurts to scout. also because he had such an early pool, you shouldve just stayed in your base until u had banelings since u had the econ adv. which that said i wouldve prefered a baneling nest over the +1 melee weaps.

the second zvz, i dont know what to say to that :o i personally think 2 evos is a weak build both to roaches and banelings, but it worked here and i must admit was quite entertaining :D. third zvz gotta say the same as the previous, it worked but i think its weak to the standard zvz builds. anyways so general zvz tips: scout, you get your lings so late without any scouting, this is unnecessary if u want more drones then scout! also you can simcity ur base to (somewhat) protect your drones from banes

the 2 zvps where you lost, im not sure if it was bugged or not, but u didnt do anything for a long time letting ur resources hit 700-800 minerals while going hydras off 1 gas. try to keep ur minerals down and get a second gas if ur going hydra

okay i thought u were asking for help, but this is more of a diary xD, anyways good luck on your journey!
