On low-level, you have to be significantly better than your opponent to overcome mech.

Meh my Bio was way better than mech unless you could catch them with early vultures and do some damage, or they didnt know how to play vs vultures running all over like they do vs protoss

Very awesome. I hope you enjoy the game as much as i have :D. One of my favorite builds vs protoss was 2 factory vulture expand. Its pretty dated but its super fun. The feeling of surrounding dragons with vultures and laying mines then running away watching the goons explode is priceless.

With Bio, you can apply pressure more easily to a Zerg player than Mech. Mech have mobility issues in which Bio does not. Honestly if the Terran scout that the Zerg is teching into Mutas instead of Lurkers, put your whole bio force into a massive clump and march accross the map. The Muta/Ling won't be able to do shit against you assuming that you have a sizable force. With Mech, it is much easier to deflect off as a Zerg that as long as they have overlord spread at key location and being careful while locating their army, the Terran would not have the opportunity to do any damage with Vultures. And when a Zerg get a third base unharassed or undamaged, the result have already been settled.

The only real trouble of going Bio is the Turret timing. To get the timing right, make sure that the scans are available. Basically scan the hatchery in which it is the closest to the morphing Spire. If their spire is almost done, look for their larvae count. When they are saving larvaes, it usually means they are also saving gas to make Mutas. As the Spire finishes, that's your cue to construct Turrets. You shouldn't just build Turret at any locations. Here is a nice guide to the Turret's placement:
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Terran_Counter_To_Mutalisk_Harass

Now that you have deflected the initial mutas to hinder your economy, immediately tech to siege tanks and science vessels. Get around 3 tanks, and 1 vessel. Afterward, do everything you can to break the Zerg's third.
Here is an good VOD of the timing:

I came back to BW about 2 months ago and after about 400 games vs humans my experience so far is:

Terran: if you like to work harder than your opponent to achieve the same result, play T. Expect to lose to lesser players, specially P. Best mirror match-up IMO. Best music and unit sounds too.

Protoss: easier to play mechanically, boring music and unit sounds.

Zerg: reasonable challenge, race-design-wise so different it's almost like playing a different game.

Cool game though, best of luck to you. I suggest you join sGs since there's a lot of noobs and also some good players that are willing to help with practice and such.


omg is this so true. It feels so good though once you get D+ and up!

Sometimes I want to punch my screen while playing TvP. I set up a decent mine field only to have lamelots..errr speedlots mine drag right onto my tanks.


I disagree, Z has the best unit sounds and music.

I wonder why it's always the Terran players that think their race is hard. Is it because of TvP?
If you played ZvT, then you will see Zerg has to work harder. Delaying the enemy push with mutas only, secure and defend the third successfully, holding of marine drops in all bases while at the same time coping with marine squads which dodge swarm.


Bio TvZ is the most mechanically challenging MU in the game, isn't it?

I have a lot of problems vs mech terran as a zerg (D+/C-). We don't have any special mechanics that pros have and big mistake mech terran does to lose game is unsiege.
