Either the B protoss are projected B protosses, or the C- zergs actually need to be projected.

I never said I was B. :p

I'm C+ overall.

With B-/B TvP and probably C-/Cish TvZ. I would say there's a good 2 rank gap between matchups for me and I find that to be rather crazy.

I don't think what he is saying is all that weird. A lot of players tend to be really good and confident in their best m/u. Your worst m/u is always going to feel like it is awful in comparison. While i'm sure he might be over exaggerating his tvz suckiness, pretty much everyone is probably in the same boat as he is unless you are perfect in all m/us

I regularly beat B and higher Protoss players yet I struggle and usually get raped by C- zergs. Is this typical to have such a huge skill difference in matchups? I think throughout my competitive playing days I've had exposure to high level protoss players and have had crazy good practice TvP while my TvZ has been non-existent.

Thx for that insight, added a ton to the thread.

Since I posted this I've played like 8 games on ladder all vs Protoss. I wish more ppl played zerg.

I can very well understand that, although I'm playing on a lower level. I've beaten really strong Zergs and I feel very confident in TvZ, but my TvP is just a joke. It's all about how much you play each MU, trust me. I think I played three times as many TvZs than TvPs, so just go practise.

IMO there's a huge difference between standard TvZ and TvP(or TvT for that matter), in terms of both mechanics and timing/playstyle. They're possibly the two most dissimilar matchups you can play without actually changing races, so practise in one doesn't really help the other much. I offrace TvZ and can beat C level zergs(on occasion lol), but my TvP and TvT are low D at best.

^ while TvZ and TvP is like two entirely different games with one race, but FEbio/mech/wraith/1base openings and ZvT is like playing several entirely different games in /one matchup/. Zs take so much shit today so you'd expect the Z level to go up, practice your TvZ more to keep up, no other option.

Whatever you do... don't start playing mech in tvz! Mech terran vs zerg; the stuff of ultimate faggotry.

You should really try to off-race though, like someone said already. I started playing zerg every once in a while against terrans, and I really got a better grasp of how the matchup works.

You must know your enemy before you may confront them.

Play Zerg versus Terran.

And please
.. don't mech.

- someone who's played you many many games on east a while back and had about literally 95% winrate vs you with all three races (well who knows i might be wrong and u improved hell alot)


Oystein confirmed that his TvP is good.

I dont understand. If his tvp is really that good, how is he still a C with mediocre win percentage (his tvp win percentage just as bad..)
70% win rate is mediocre? :O

I just don't ladder enough on 1 account to really gauge myself. I don't hit my wall till C+ and usually run around 70% win rate till I get there.

Do I know you as any other aka's on iccup or east? Since you seem to be so deeply interested in me....

My point with this post was my TvP is much much better than my TvZ and if anyone else experiences this. I'm didn't try to say I'm a great player. I am not a great player, I'm very average.

While the discrepancy is abnormally big, it's understandable. TvP revolves around timing and positioning while TvZ is much more dynamic and relies more on mechanics (harder macro, unit control) than well executed pushes.

You just don't play TvZ enough to be good at it. Since you said that you can't even learn "basic timings", yet TvZ's timings are far simpler and clear cut in comparison with TvP's, it just means you haven't even tried to get good at TvZ, and so therefore, since you haven't consciously made an effort to learn it, you'll never be good at it.

My guess is that you're also just not used to the much more difficult mechanics of TvZ since you learned how to play on easier TvP mechanics first. Unfortunately, the qualities that make you a great TvP player don't apply much to TvZ while mechanics help you improve universally.

I'm the opposite. My TvZ is significantly better than my TvP for similar reasons. I have a friend I play with and I play TvZ maybe 70% of the games I play starcraft. As a result, my TvZ is definitely better. However, playing TvZ so much really helped out my mechanics, and that easily transferred to my subpar TvP, which is now acceptable.
