It took 194 games, which is way more than a busy college student should be playing, but I finally reached B. With only one week left in the season, this looks like a good place to stop. Next season, my goal is to get better at muta micro so I can play conventional zvz. Since my muta micro is really bad, I've been using hydras in zvz or playing Terran instead to avoid the matchup altogether. But in order to get better, I'm going to need to learn how to muta micro. I finally have to admit to myself that hydras aren't viable in zvz.

Matchup statistics
zvz: 6 wins, 10 losses, 37.5%
zvp: 38 wins, 39 losses, 49.4%
zvt: 36 wins, 28 losses, 56.3%
tvz: 22 wins, 12 losses, 64.7%

As expected, my zvz is my worst matchup. Surprisingly and sadly, my offrace has a better win percentage than my main race.

Goal for next season
- Get better at muta micro
- Get at least B+

Decent games at B- level
zvp @ Destination - just a standard game:
http://www.repdepot.net/download.php?type=rep&id=13324&name=Blind vs hmgago.rep

zvp @ Colosseum - burrowling vs 2gate:
http://www.repdepot.net/download.php?type=rep&id=13267&name=Blind vs Sv.FLYAWAY.rep

zvt @ Destination - hydra/lurk:
http://www.repdepot.net/download.php?type=rep&id=13325&name=Blind vs vMv.rep

zvt @ Destination - using drops:
http://www.repdepot.net/download.php?type=rep&id=13326&name=Blind vs WorkeR(t.t).rep

zvz @ Destination - hydra:
http://www.repdepot.net/download.php?type=rep&id=13327&name=gyanzi vs Blind.rep

zvz @ Colosseum - hydra again:
http://www.repdepot.net/download.php?type=rep&id=13328&name=slaustkdchlrh vs Blind.rep

zvp @ Colosseum - the win that got me to B:
http://www.repdepot.net/download.php?type=rep&id=13330&name=Blind vs prevbong.rep

Notice how I don't make any muta in any of these replays. I wasn't kidding about that awful muta micro.

Grats. Muta micro is pretty fun so it shouldn't be hard to practice a lot.
No I'm never serious.

Man, just dl that muta micro map and play it for 30 minutes. You can learn muta micro so easy it's not even funny It's just patrol click on your furthest muta. I don't think anyone actually bothers doing the crazy Chinese triangle thing lol.

Nice work though. Always been a fan of you Blind

I really like how you're main Z and have higher winning rate with T. grats gj not alting as P.

It's a shame to not have mutas with Z tho, go practice it like mad in a raw UMS map. Not that weird stuff that some people posted, something like this korean map
After 1000 rounds on it, muta micro in real games will feel super easy and it'll all come down to multitasking.
Reavers. Lurkers. Vultures. Defilers. Corsairs. Vessels. Why did they remove all the cool units from SC2...?

That is kind of sad, to be honest, and I certainly hope SC2 will diversify the matchup (although that does not currently seem to be the case).

Anyway, congratulations on your success. My own progress in SC has ground to a halt due to numerous other obligations and activities.

Just go 2 hatch mutas at D next season. You'll drive T/P's insane but at least you'll get better at it.

Nice job getting to B.
