Title may be a little misleading,

Anyways first of all I've been playing zerg pretty much always and tried to improve as best as I can I still get supply blocked all the time but whatever.

So first of all I'd like some help with less obvious tips to improve my game (replays at end) all help much much appreciated.

Secondly just an observation of mine, I noticed in pro games no one spreads creep very well, what I mean by this is look specifically at my ZvP on xelnaga (named that) I spread creep pretty damn quickly, besides the slight hiccup when I got attacked. I'm not saying I'm pro or anything but more if I can pull off such (rather good imo) creepspread, why can't the pro's add that to their game? ever since I started spreading like that my win rate increased dramatically, purely because of increased vision and mobility.


Oh and lastly, zerg's stop with the QQ threads, I too struggle sometimes but really I've never seen a zerg player lose, ever where I thought "wow terran OP" if you lose, you fucked up always.

ONE final point, I noticed in Ro4 GSL nestea vs mvp, on shakuras, everyone was making a big deal of the positioning by mvp with his tank much and how nestea played so well, what I saw was terrible control from nestea which lost him the game, he regular moved everything besides the mutas to chase the marines (lings should have been on a move) he also could have picked off the tanks blocking his ramp with some muta micro first too rather then charging at what was essentially a wall supported by 5 tanks. just a small thing.



Replays:
(new games with creep and 1 or 2 baneling busts for fun)

(Reall old random games, I probably play horrible so maybe some entertainment for you.)

You must of not been around or have watched the old recorded games from when Bw was first released into the community. Granted we have far higher initial mechanics because of BW, strategy wise, SC2 is playing a lot like SC. If you watch any older games between 2000-2003, you'll see people you'll be like wtf how was he ever considered good?(Like skelton's 1 base lurker build against garimto in an osl final)

ok.... but how does that relate to my post?...
My point wasn't that nestea was bad, Simply that he lost cause of miscontrol rather then MVP's amazing play, likewise the creep spread thing was merely a question of curiousity idra is clearly capable of great creepspread (boxer vs idra game is a good example) but he never does it.
