The Switch From Protoss to Zerg

This type of blog has most likely been done a thousand times before, but I am going to post my progress as a Protoss player switching to Zerg.

My difficulties thus far are getting used to the macro. I find myself putting down my extra hatcheries randomly at bases. So I will have three hat in main, two at natural, two are second nat and two or three at my fourth base. Thus it would be like a Protoss putting gateways all over the map, than trying to macro properly. It would be hard as hell.

I haven't tried this yet, but I am going to put all my extra hats in my main and than it should be easier to macro. We shall see.

I do like doing all the things I used to hate playing against as a Protoss to other P's. It's fun going 9pool speedlings and making them guessing whether I am massing drones or continuing to mass zerglings. I love that so far.

It's only been day one. Tomorrow will be my first day on iCCup, hopefully I do well.

PS. Shoutout to Ahzz, Superiorwolf and Atrioc for inspiring me to not play as terribly as he does ^^

Thank you! The road ahead will be difficult indeed. First step is done though -- changed my picture from a probe to a drone!

Cali, what case can you make for Griffin to upset Rampage?

Yeah man! Good practice!

@Caliban, the fat, gassed Shogun that fought Forrest is not the one we know and love. Kimbo also said that Forrest never knocked him out in sparring, but who knows for sure. We shall see, but I predict a Jackson Slam!

@Micronesia, Two Fact for the win!?

@Straylight, haha thanks, although I would refer to it as boring.

@Wizard, ^^

@Suppy, not quite B haha, but I think I can do better with Zerg!

@Jonoman, alright man, but I only switched recently! I plan on practicing.

@LosingID8, I tried Terran before, but I may go back to it. For now, Zerg is ma' main!

Switching from P to Z is like turning off God Mode and moving your computer into a wind tunnel. Good fucking luck.

@Atrioc, I would like to point out that:

A) You play Zerg, that was my fifth ZvZ
B) I went Guardians/Plague/Swarm
C) This was before I switched to Z, once I repeated the phrase, "I am switching to Zerg.. OFFICALLY" aloud, I instantly became 10x more powerful, thus, mathematically, this will never happen again.
D) I hate you

@Chill, Thanks for the good luck? At the very least I will be able to beat Protoss because I know what annoys the hell out of them. I've never been in a wind tunnel; I hope it's cosy.
