That moment

That moment, you know, the defining fight. The one that can determine the outcome of a game and it happens but not exactly. Why is that? Because you moved not a-moved but moved your units to an empty tower only to have your opponent a-move his to that same tower at the EXACT same time and that is exactly how you lost the fight and the game.

Backstory:
TvZ on Taldarim Altar. I spawn at position 7 and he spawns at position 10. We have some engagements and he eventually goes up one base. I end up taking my third as I push and even though I lost the engagement, we trade armies. We kept having clashes and I grab my 4th and 5th. He attacks my 3rd, takes it out and I catch his army as they try to leave so he loses everything and I lose my MM but my tanks make it out. We end up clashing at the aforementioned tower but I get crushed because of just moving my units to it. GG!

from the minimap it looks like you had a unit at the tower, so you should just have faster sieging. but in general a good tip is to stim your bio, run them up ahead to sort of scout and prod the enemy, if the zerg moves up to challenge you, you now have advance notice and more time for your tanks to be sieged. make sure to shift target the banelings down, followed by the roaches to make sure your tanks dont friendly fire by attacking the lings, let your bio attack the lings, and then you should be good against the hydras left over. then unsiege, move up, scan his natural/ramp to see what his reinforcements are like, and deliver the final blow.

As a fellow Terran player, I offer my condolences. I too know that feeling, brother. I too have gotten my army flanked, banelinged, and disintegrated in mere seconds on Tal'Darim.

And I just noticed, why the heck are there Hydras in the Zerg army? Especially in a ZvT?

Thing is, I always a move but in this case, I had view of the tower and that his units weren't moving yet so I didn't think that he'll move them at the exact second I moved mine. It was just unfortunate timing imo and I should've a-moved regardless. Thanks for the information Roe, I'll keep that in mind. I try to but I dunno if my control is good enough yet. Usually I'm busy spreading my marines lol. Ya, there are hydras. Think he just added a couple to pick off medivacs and for increased dps despite their squishness XD

If you hotkey your army it's much easier to jump to them and react to motion on the minimap, so you could have stopped them in time even if they were on move command.

That hurts though.

The minimum you should do is select 1 marine and stim him and right click on the enemies base. This allows you to easily scout ahead.

Using scans is good too, especially when you make it to creep. And be careful for baneling bombs if your opponent might have them

The only thing worse than this might be accidentally clicking x with your banes selected.

I haven't run into any opponents that use banelings bombs against Terran but never know lol.Yes, I agree with the marine one. I had vision of his army but I didn't think he'll move out right as I did.
Lucky for me, I never clicked x with my banes selected when I played Zerg so phew XD
