Summary and general statics
Sorry guys haven't posted for a day for so. But that's because I didn't have time to play Anyways today I got back to playing some more Starcraft 2! The games today were relativity easy however, I did play a terran who did amazing drops.

Games played:8
Games won:4
Games lost:4
Rank yesterday:16
Rank today:16
ZvZ:2
ZvT:3
ZvP:3

Match ups

ZvZ
Not much ZvZ today, I'm quite surprised usually there are a lot more zergs, but hey, it could just be the amount of games I'm playing. Today's ZvZ's were a mix of both macro and all in games. I have found that my unit control is still lacking and I need to focus on it a lot more. I think that I also need to make better decisions unit composition wise. The first game which I played I should of gotten my hydralisk den much sooner. The opponent went for a mass roach with muta composition. I did sort of counter his mutas with my infestors (here is where the unit control comes in, I remember letting a couple of low health mutas get away when I should of just finished him). But however, I should of also gotten hydralisks to strengthen my army. In the all in game my opponent went for one base zegling/baneling while I played standard going 14/14. The main problem with this game is that I didn't have my baneling nest up in time to defend against his lings. To fix this problem I will get my baneling nest when my ling speed is 50% done.

Things to improve and learned
- I need to improve unit control
- I need to remember to get my baneling nest

ZvT
In ZvT, lately I've been doing something new. I get a baneling nest up first before I get my speed. This way I can go for a delayed baneling bust while while getting roaches and taking a third. This style of play has been working quite well for me lately. I have been winning alot of my ZvT games. I think this is due to the fact that if the banelings don't outright win, then I will have done enough economic damage to put him further behind while my economy rockets forward. Although, one terran did recover from this (damn mules T.T) and he won the game with some amazing drop play and attacking on three fronts. I'll keep experimenting with the delayed baneling bust thing and see how it goes. I feel as if my scouting is getting better and better every time so that is great!

Things to improve and learned
-Need to improve my muilti-tasking
-Need to further improve my scouting.
-Need to employ the use of overseers more.

ZvP
At the moment ZvP is very standard for me nothing cheesy or out of the ordinary. But I do find that worker rushing a protoss who goes nexus first wins LOL. But other than that nothing much new in this match up for me personally. I think that I could go for more early aggression because I find that I'm not denying the third enough. A lot of the protoss' I play are able to get up their third expansion relativity unchallenged. To counter this I think I'm going to mix in some mutas in with my roaches and then harass and deny the third with the mutas. In order to do this I'm going to take 4 gas at once instead of just taking three, muta's are gas expensive >.<. I think that with mutas will come a lot of scouting information if I use them properly and harass enough.

Thing to improve and learned
-Learned that I should use mutas to harass, deny the third, and gain scouting information.

Well that's all for today! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. If you have any comments or tips they would be greatly appreciated. Thanks once again.

Question: How do you deal with muilti prong drops/ harass?

Spread your overlords and watch the minimap.. There's an option to set the opponent's color to red, so it's pretty damn obvious when you see a red blip moving around the minimap.

An easy way to spread your overlords is to set individual rallies. Rally each individual overlord (after clicking v) to strategic locations to cover air paths (includes the little pods on daybreak). If you are building multiple overlords (supply block lololol), spread them in the same way you send individual zerglings around the map.

Multi-pronged harasses should be seen before they happen, otherwise you'll have to split your army up to stop them, and in that case the enemy can do a push right into your base with their main army while you're busy picking off a couple dropped lings or a handful of mutas attackign your third and your main simultaneously
