I think i finally get why you must expand so much.

I like playing PvZ against my friend, and he has this really flipping hard strat. He goes Sauron, but with lurks and Ultras :o. I always win on Medusa and Chupungryeong against him, but Destination..... is not my map. However i played one game and I won

Heres the replay.

Any improvements to my game will help. Enjoy! Btw its 40 minutes long so.... yeah.

I learned that it doesnt matter how long it is. its a matter of winning...

I find it incredibly hard to well... care... when games last longer than 20 minutes.
I'm hesitant to call it fatigue, but probably laziness, I just mass goons 1a2a3a and if that fails, I lose.

This brings up the topic of a long game (let's say 35+ minutes). Everyone handles it differently, but I remember slowly losing focus and caring less as the game went on. If I managed to win, it felt like an empty victory. If I lost, I said 'meh whatever I was getting sick of it.'

the longer the game goes on, the harder I try to win. I see it as a time investment. If the game drags onto 30minutes or so, then the desire to win becomes that much stronger, because you have already put in 30minutes of really hard work, and the last thing you want is to invest that much effort just to lose in the end.

Congrats on your win, but I doubt many people will download the rep to watch a 40:40 long game on you simply winning a random PvZ.
1. It's very long
2. You didn't mention your rank, for all we know this could be boring D- play
3. I don't see what is so special about the game, the ZvP win rate is only 50/50%.
Don't get me wrong though, it sounds like an achievement, but I'm going to pass watching the game.

I generally just get reckless and try to finish the game as soon as possible, usually with bad results for me

lol You are the kind of people I hope for when I get into late game, because my late-game isn't that great.

You'll lose any matchup if you just mass pure goons and not bother to micro.

Well in PvT you would base your goon count on his army mix. If he is going 4 or 5 fact but with only 1 addon, then a goon heavy army is a better choice. However if he is tank heavy, you will want to add more zealots than goons, and use army placement to avoid vultures raiding your zealots.

For me, as the game goes on I start to focus almost entirely on just macro and my micro falters like hell, which often causes me getting stormed to death or something terrible like that.
