First off..
I'm looking for a Terran practice partner around D to D+ level. I just want to practice with someone at my level who won't bunker rush me or do some gay proxy crap.

or..
Are there any D level clans around?

Finally after my last blog, I started playing Zerg. I went on ICCUP and played 18 games in the past 2 days!! I've never played more than 10 games on any icc account until now and I got to D+ for the first time ever!

I suck horribly and really need to practice more. Looking for a solid blue rank by the end of next season (ya I can dream)
Record: 11-7 (ZvZ 3-1) (ZvP 4-3) (ZvT 4-3)

Zerglings have become my best friend in all my matchups, really.
ZvZ, I haven't made 1 mutalisk yet.
ZvP,win from zergling runby and another from a drone drill.
ZvT, 3 wins with 2 hatch lings. Was 2 hatch mutaing all three times, but they gave me too much of an opening.

edit: Sry if I sounded like an ass in this blog. It sounded like someone was mocking me in the game I played, so I'm guessing it was due to this post. Really am sorry

Nothing wrong with using those strategies on iccup, but keep in mind that you'll need to practice more standard long-game strategies to improve your overall zerg play (but you probably already know that hehe). My terran is probably at the level you just described, but I promise I'll proxy you or bunker rush you every time (not really, but I don't see why bunker rush is such a problem... you are better off just learning how to deal with it... and a practice partner can help you with that).

Which strategies? 2 hatch speedlings? Not once have I gone into a game thinking I would go all out zerglings. My favorite strategy as a zerg is 2 hatch mutalisks and it was what I was trying to do all those three games. I used early speedling pressure (off of a 12hatch 11pool) to lower marine count but ended up creating a huge opening that I couldn't pass up.
In ZvP the Protoss Fast expoing and blocking their nat with only 2 probes is unacceptable.
I really want to practice late game play, but why start from an economical disadvantage when their is a blatant opening early game?

I actually really enjoy microing drones vs Marines (its probably one of my top 5 favorite things in sc), but would rather practice ZvT late game.

2 hatch speedlings in my games have been nothing more than reactions.
