EPT(Yeah I just got out of a sad TvZ on iccup)
Anyone else feel the same with matchups though? I mean this has got to be an extreme case, I'm confident vs B+ protoss players and C- zergs scare the crap out of me most days, heh...

Atleast I know I'm not the only one. TvZ mechanincs are a bit different from TvP mechanincs, you just need some time to master them. Good luck. | ||

You should practice with Attackzerg, he was always looking for practice partners of your level. | ||

I have many protoss friends who I play friendly games with who are B- and higher and I win plenty, I know almost no good zergs and seem to run into so few on ladder at higher ranks like C+ and above I'm playing 70% TvP it seems. I'm just the opposite(confident against B- zerg, scared against D+ protoss). The reasoning is probably the same, one of my friends is a really good zerg and we've played dozens of games while the only tosses I play are on ladder.

I personally can`t understand how people who only play 3 matchups can get such a big skill difference in their respective matchups but it seems pretty common. However B to C- difference sounds insane.... | ||

But it's possible to have matchups be very different skill wise altho that shouldnt happen unless you play like 1 MU 90% of the time. On May 22 2009 04:09 Jonoman92 wrote: That's pretty odd. Just playing a standard PvT build and strategy would probably beat a C- zerg so just pretend your opponent is protoss... just maybe make more goliaths instead of vultures and tanks. Don't post shit like this, it's not grounded in reality. A good mech build would be the easiest way to go, but meching TvZ is not the same as TvP. You still need to get to know the timings and other stuff. | ||

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 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. answered ur own post... gj | ||

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. | ||

If you play a toss who's really B or higher iccup, you wont stand much chance - 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. | ||

If his tvp is really that good, how is he still a C with mediocre win percentage (his tvp win percentage just as bad..) 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. | ||

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. | ||

Plus it also happens at the pro level. Casy has some fucking top notch TvZ and some decent TvT, but god he is soooooooo bad at TvP. I swear he plays at like C+ level. | ||
