My worst match up used to be ZvT... I would pull my hair out over it, but, lately, it seems that it has become my best match up. I've won, I believe, 6 of my last 7 ZvTs. Perhaps I'm playing more smart? Perhaps my macro is better? I'm not quite sure what it is, but, I've maintained the usual muta ling baneling for the majority of terrans who go Marine, marauder, tank. I know for sure, my control has improved.. no longer am I being retarded and 1Aing both lings and banelings into marauder portions of bio balls and I'm microing the banelings A LOT more carefully, making sure they hit marines, come hell or high water.

My match ups that are suffering now are PvP and TvP, the match ups I actually used to do my best in ^^; I feel bad for admitting being bad at TvP as I will probably get made fun of, with people saying (and protoss have said this to me before) "you have EMP, you shouldn't loss to toss."

And PvP always feels like the anti-macro game, as anytime I try to establish a second base, I get pushed.. if I try to one base, I get starved out. It's kinda frustrating, but, I suppose I will have to improve my timings and scouting in that match up.

Sorry for the mini Wall-o-text and as always, thanks for reading fellow blog goers. And as always, input, comments, criticism (constructive or not) are welcome ^^.

The reason that your ZvT has become better is that the meta game for terrans have changed during the period of the last GSL, thanks to people like Foxer and MVP. Everyone goes mass marine, and if you have a solid bane muta build you demolish it, unless they actually have as good micro as Foxer. Or atleast that's how i'm feeling it, because the same goes for me, my ZvT is way better now than it used to be, and i really that i see way more mass marine. ^^

if you expo early in PvP you'll be way ahead and it's easy to maintain that lead. A 2 gate into fast expo into robo will put you way ahead and give you safety with at least one immortal out early.

true, but a 2gate can hold off a 4gate if you have a large sentry force. as long as u can survive long enough to get a 3rd gate and immortals out

And ZvP was my WORST FUCKING MATCHUP and I was always getting beaten up by 4 warpGAYte allin. After that, I practiced on that a little bit and now I KICK THE CRAP OUT OF EVERY SINGLE OF'EM. 14 hatch 13 pool 16 hatch and neither fast expand nor early all-ins kill me right now and I'm something like 19-1 (?) against protoss for now.
