First off it's not a rant; i'm just frustrated. Having below 40% or something win rate against terran isn't bad for me. I don't care about it; but it's the way I've been beaten.
I'm a protoss user, so 1a2a3a does work sometimes, especially at my level. But, the matchup has been killing my confidence. I get raped either one of two ways:
1) Terran does some quick vulture harass after FD, followed with tanks and vults to use the timing window. I have absolutely no idea when to get leg speed, and playing with reavers just seem to fuck it up more because I can't control it very well.
2) He camps, taking his third, waits for 2/2 upgrades then pushes out with 200/200 supply. I have half the map, so around 20-25 gates in total with arbs (hate carriers), but upgraded tanks just melt pretty much anything.
Basically, I just want C to C+ levelled Terran players that are willing to play me in the weekend on iCCup.
and also, I saw something about op tl-train? where players get together and train specific builds over and over again. I went there and there was one person who was afk T-T

All but one of my losses to terran were bunker rushes [zerg], fucking terrans.

Start playing Terran if you think it's so easy  Or just steal their gas every game and go hard pressure.

I"ll play you sometimes, add me on iccup gNs.I-Yang, or you can find me on east with the same username. I can only play on weekends too, so its good.... ^^

QFT.
Practicing Terran diligently was the best thing I did for my PvT.

You fail at dealing with bunker rushes perhaps? That's the terrans' fault?

haha does practicing terran actually work? I heard it does show weaknesses of builds, certain timings etc. But wouldn't it be better to practice PvT rather than learn TvP time wise?
I tried TvP, it's so easy to get out macroed when I play..;
anyway ypang i will definitely msg you for some games xD
any more!?

I'm wondering if you ever read an OP before you post

the other nice thing about playing a heck of a lot of tvp is that you get more apm when you go back to toss. The reason being that T forces you to work on your mechanics.
Just another reason to try it out.

he camps until 200 supply?
honestly if hes going to push that late, you should have plenty of time to out expo him and tech to carriers or arbiters

yeah i know i suck. that's why i'm frustrated, because 200/200 should be relatively easy to beat, at least at my level.
btw, my iccup name is
be..
looking forward to good games~

You may be able to fast aribter with recall if they camp that long. When he moves out, do a massive recall. He is force to defend or fight in a losing position. Dont forget to storm tanks if you have to engage the push.

PvT is easy mode.
Seriously
I'm a protoss user and I still say this. Sure, I'm sick and tired of people saying protoss is easy mode... fucking bullshit.
It's not. PvT, however, is. IMO PvT on maps like python is slightly imbalanced. It's all about the laziness. I'm usually too lazy to use high templar/etc with my army, so I just go all out macro zeals and goons, and can usually win this way. If not, I get some arbiters, recall>gg.
However, against a better terran opponent this begins to fail, but it's still pretty easy to win if you just stop being lazy and have more micro like include high templar in your army, zealot bombs, arbiters, maybe even reavers, etc.
Dark archons with mind control aren't exactly cost effective, but depending on the situation they can be amazing. They can feedback vessels lategame, and if you mind control a tank in a group of other tanks it's even better than a zealot bomb.

It's barely a cheese.... especially if you don't learn how to deal with such a simple tactic. Why shouldn't they bunker rush? It's immediately scout-able by the zerg so practice it.
