Confused on what to do

Past couple weeks I have been grinding away games like crazy trying to figure out TvP, more so the late game. I'm getting smashed all over even after dealing damage in the early-mid game. It feels like regardless what I do, unless I do an allin, the game is brought to the late game where I don't have a chance.

Recently I hopped on a buddy's account and did his placement matches for him playing Zerg. I went 12-0(ended with playing 400-500ish masters) before I figured I should get back to focusing on my Terran. I really love the style of the race. It comes down to game sense/macro it feels like, where I feel Terran is very micro/game sense focused.

Generally I would just have fun playing both, as I have no desire to ever try to go pro, etc. The problem is I'm flying down to Vegas on April 5th to play in IPL 4, and I'm really hesitant on if I should play Terran there. I have pretty much the next two weeks open for pure practice, but after talking to a couple of my pro buddies, I'm not sure if I can have enough practice to get my game sense/timings for Zerg up to where my Terran is at.

So I'm just posting as a feeler to get your guy's input.

Whatever you enjoy more... do it.

I mean heck, even if that means playing Terran for 10 games, zerg for 15, and Terran for another 5 in a practice session, then go ahead and do it.

From what you've said you pretty much don't have a shot at making it far and you're aware of that, which is fine... so enjoy it.. have fun, get liquored up and streak across stage during the finals.

Best advice ever. Make sure to rub your junk on a booth's doorknob.

There is no way you are gonna learn Zerg in 2 weeks to the same skill as your Terran is now. I'd rather play terran in a tournament by far anyways...

I hear a lot of people complaining about TvP but I don't have problems with it. I play extremely aggressive mid game. You gotta get upgraded MM fast, poke the front, drop everywhere, pick off what you can. Your goal should be to deny the protoss third and end the game on 2bases. Pressure them before they can get a single colossi or HT out.

Spend your two weeks learning the matchup. Don't try to fit yourself into a single build or strategy either, experiment.
