jaedong's builds don't work for you because they rely on his savage mutalisk control

why don't you think before you act, if you're going to imitate a build order use a build order that doesn't require skills you don't have

its the exact reason why i dont even try fantasy's build in tvp yet. Need to learn to stand before you can walk and walk before you run. Step by step.

Stick with Zerg or try Terran. You'll get a lot more satisfaction when you win and improve with those races.

Besides less protoss on iccup the better

You may be very dissapointed when Bisus BOs wont work for you as a toss. Keep playing as a Zerg, or switch to toss if it is more fun for you. Ass long as its fun its ok, just dont excpect to jump to B just because you switched to toss.

Don't follow player-specific build orders. They require better micro/macro/decision-making/understanding of the game as a whole. Try following the standard builds, it's easier.

Protoss sucks, don't do it.

Or I'll make sure I hunt you down. Every day. EVERY DAY.

This.

Alot of pro zerg strategies rely on their awesome muta control. That's a big reason they always open up with muta first

Also, don't switch races just because you hit a roadblock.. just try easier builds than ones that require progamer control. Look for some standard builds in the wiki.

I hate it when people simplify Protoss to 1a2a3a especially in PvT and PvZ...

But you should keep trying to play Z, we all hit slumps. Just keep playing, just keep trying, don't give up!!

Someone in one of my last few games on ICCup told me to keep up the positive attitude. And I did. And I won a game. That's more than enough for someone who may be slumping.

Also keep in mind that you don't neccesarily have to play all 3 match ups with the same race.

Protoss is a damn cool race. We have all the cool units: Pirates, ninjas and wizards!!!
Terran is awesome too cuz they have all the chicks: Medic, Valkyrie and dropship.
What does zerg have? Maybe I can make an argument for Guardians cuz they sound funny "Honfhnf?"

lol my friend wants to switch to protoss from zerg too cause it "fits his style more".
What I think is you just need to look at your strengths as zerg more and abuse it to its fullest. Zerg can be just as gay as protoss.
I'm gonna paraphrase + Show Spoiler +
Combat-Ex
on this one. Be as gay as you can with each one of your units. Starcraft is all about being as gay as possible.

With a thread title like that, you might as well not bother with Protoss. If you dislike the race you play, you will never become proficient with it.

Besides, if you honestly think you can A-move your way to C rank on ICCup, you are in for a rude suprise in any of the three matchups.

Don't switch to protoss. Sure, you'll win a lot more games far more consistently up until maybe C-, but then you'll hit a huge roadblock PvZ as you start to play decent zergs. It's better to stick to matchups you're more comfortable and familiar with anyways. However, playing PvZ or TvZ so you can get a better perspective on timings for your non-mirror ZvXs can be really helpful.

you should switch to protoss just so you can get crushed even worse then when you were zerg, that way we have one less whiny 1a2a3a nerd

Seriously though, you should stick to your main race and try to get better so you can beat the 1a2a3a guys, because the sense of accomplishment will make you feel like a champ.

God man, this thread needs more protoss jokes!
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a
