This is my 1st blog about my super epic omgwtflul journey to Masters! For any of you who don't know I recently switched to Zerg after a pretty lengthy break from SC2. I was in the Platinum League when I left, but the switch has probably knocked down my skill level to high Gold (at least that's who I'm facing and beating).

So far it's going pretty good. I've won a lot more than I lost on the ladder (thank god for custom games) and I'm feeling good about my ZvP and ZvT. ZvP I just haven't really lost in a straight up macro game. Cheeses are still a problem, but I do Stephano 3 hatch and it seems more vulnerable to them than other builds. ZvT is pretty good, but I'm really struggling against drop play. I know I need to split my units up if there's more than 1 but usually I'll still end up either losing a few too many drones or missing injects.

However, ZvZ is just horrific T_T. I have no idea what I'm doing most of the time as there doesn't seem to be many guides or anything out there. I've kind of started going Speedling Expand into Ling/Bane aggression into standard Roach/Infestor. It still feels really weak though. I guess I need to practice a lot more with it.

That's about it really. Thanks for reading my blog, there will be another update in the days to come :D

EDIT: Of course as soon as I post this I go 1-3 vs Terrans and Protoss. Lategame ZvP is so annoying T.T

I think this is about the only time switching races would help your win/loss.
Team Liquid needs more Terrans.

It's not late game but it's like the transition period between roach ling into bl investor I find difficult, because at that point it's very possible for the toss to just crush you.
