Today, I am going to analyse a PvZ replay I did against a Gold ranked player on EU ladder, both at x4 speed and then at certain parts more inticrately at normal speed.

REPLAY LINK HERE

Synopsis of what happens

Zerg opens 15 hatch 14 pool 14 gas whereas I open 14 gateway (because I hugely fuck up my opening and get distracted, as well as get my probe sniped.)

As I get a natural expansion up at around the 6 minute 45 second mark, I suddenly decide to slam down two more Gateways, a Twilight Council and a Forge to research Level 1 Ground Weapons, then I get a Zealot to see if he has a third base, and build a Dark Shrine to either snipe this third or prevent it from going down. At the same time, I build a forward pylon near his third's ramp which he doesn't scout.

Unfortunately, he gets several changelings into my base via a sneakily placed Overseer, I snipe one obvious one but the other two are in my base and spot the Dark Shrine.

Seconds later, my proxy pylon finishes and I warp in 5 DTs. however, I don't capitalise on this as much as I should have. This would have been the perfect time to lay down a third without any hassle. Instead, I focus too much on DT micro, and snipe his third, two queens, a fuckload of drones and his Infestation Pit before he cleans out my DTs. Then I abandon DTs entirely when in reality, I could have perhaps waped in two or three more and placed them near potential fourth or fifth bases.

My third went down at 16 minutes. Fucking destructible rocks. T_T

First engagement leads to a very close victory for him. He won because I only had 1 - 1 and he had 2 - 2 to melee attacks and armor, and because of my positioning where my Chargelots were behind the 6 Archons I had, couldn't attack, and furthermore, my HTs couldn't really get many good Feedbacks off as they were really far away from the

I expand twice at the 24 min mark realising I am maxed, I have replenished my army. I NEED MORE PRODUCTION

Second engagement. He rapes me. He's at 3 - 3, he has a huge lingfestor ball and 6 Brood Lords. GOOD, LUCK, WITH, THAT. I am on 2 - 1 however.

As soon as I see the Brood Lords, I shit myself. I frantically rush for Blink and produce a load of stalkers but the good lesson is.... NEVER MAKE JUST BLINK STALKERS AGAINST LINGFESTOR BROOD LORD.

He pushes my natural, I "gg."

My mistakes.

1) Fucked up my opening quite considerably, and the wall-off of my main.

2) Didn't expand when I harassed with DTs.

3) Didn't snipe his overlord.

4) Macroed terribly during pushes and even shortly after.

5) HORRIBLE positioning and Templar micro. Almost shameful even.
