I am absolutely serious, how in fuck's name as Terran do you beat this. Basically:
Zerg goes Muta harras, you cannot stop this in anyway unless you go 1 Barracks M&M drop, which of course almost never happens.
Zerg keeps Muta harrasing you, so you cannot leave your base. Meanwhile Zerg expands the map and techs to Guardian. You cannot stop the tech because you are being Muta harrassed.
You finally have enough defense to move out and attack. By this time your opponent has 24 Gaurdians, GG.
What do you do to stop this?

i like to use irradiate...

No shit.
For any responses from here on assume that I have basic SC knowledge, please.

your gonna have to keep up a good scan. if you see a hive going down early with no hydra den that usually means ur gonna get gaurds coming soon so you can either pump out the sci vessels or wraith as well. To stop muta harass just move out of ur base leave some marines and medics in your base to make him run. Usually when he see his base is getting owned he'll pull the muta back to try and stop this attack. While this is happening do a multi attack with dropship full of marines + medic to destroy the expos. Keep a good unit production and you should be fine. Scouting is critical
|
my guess is, you probably got your army killed by mutas when you try to fast push and than are behind for the rest of the game. In that case, you are probably dead, not because guardians are impossible to stop but because your army died. I assume this because a giant Marine medic firebat army would own mutalisks unless you have really bad micro. From not making a bunch of tanks you should have lots of gas for vessels as well so I don't know what you are doing wrong.. maybe scourge are killing your vessel?

ejai,that was just rude and immature,please apologize.

Build a couple 2-3 turrets and a bunker near your minerals, and those mutas are worthless. If you move out and he starts attacking your barracks or something, let him go. You should be able to push him and either a) hes stupid enough not to run back, or b) he runs back, but you should take it all right. Now, assuming you lost quite a lot of units early on to some reason, you have to keep your scout up. TvZ is all about knowing what to build, 5 rax? 3 facts? 2 port? it depends all on what the zerg player is going, and in this case, you need 2 ports, and FAST.

1 rax m&m drop beats muta?
uh no...most likely you'll get beat down by muta+speedling

You may play good Rekrul but as u should know you will never make it to a pro, so whats left... that beautiful personality you got that we all love?... see the pool dude, get a hint... ofcourse you can realize that its a game and u were once as newbie as him or you can just say another stupid post and being rekrul again.
to not talk about techs that is well known that irradiate and marines is the common tech, ill go straight to how to kill em, IMO its crucial to wait and wait even if he is hitting your buildings or anything else, just dont go rampant to kill them cuz u will be raped, hold hold hold, and when they go in to an open space attack, just attack in an open area, just dont lose patience, wait for an oportunity.

im not a terran player but im leaning toward 2 port as your only chance in hell as 1 port wouldnt do much if they have scourge

Be cool, use optical flare (cheap, long range, sounds great, looks better).

*snif* Please don't go 1rax dropship vs muta, I honestly don't think it would be efficient.. *sob sob*... and make those damn sciense vessel, 'bout 1000 of them and if you still feel uncertain, make 10000 wraiths too... and bcs.... if those don't help... mass valkyries... and goliaths... and medics to blind them... make firebats... and many many marines... and ghosts... and nukes... and tanks.. vultures are also good

That would be correct. Imo mutaling is the best counter for this :D
|
you shouldn't have the main problem with harass contain....just put up a couple of turrets, or maybe a bunker, and leave like 5-6 rines with a couple of medics...problem solved....then if they still take the map...you don't deserve to win anyways...

I would suggest going 3 rax +1 m&m vs muta and move out when you get +1 .. leave a bunker and a few turrets behind along with your new m&m force should stop most attempts..
|
cloaked wraiths is a good option, we zergs often forget taking overs to zvt battles, i mean, we use overs but only for scouting and droping. Valkyries simply rape mutas/guards so i think that a small combination of wraith/valks will do the job.
Hint for terrans: Guard rush is too risky cuss is too expensive, it's a one way strategy, it fails = u lose. Mass vessel own too, but requires good micro.

I've never seen a zerg with a lot of overlords in a zvt battle at the terrans main - at least not more than 1, but they are more often than not around since they have speed etc, and often used for drops- but with a guardian build they wont have speed, so cloak wraith works yes;(
|
when u see him tech to muta get your 3rd rax asap. like 1 bunk + turrets at cc for when he brings them in again. also put 1 by your rax and fact if you have teched to fact yet. dont let 5-6 mutas keep u from leaving home. dont forget mm ups. if u see him massing on muta expand. get irrad and a few valks. that + your 3-4 rax producing should be able to stop gaurds.
|
Norway10161 Posts
Go 4 vulture + mine drop and put spiders next to his main hatch larvae/eggs while going 3 rax in main..do much damage with vults while massing m&m army in you main. fun~~
|
look man when the zerg muta harass you if you did an early push yes maybe you will have to come back at your MAIN but NOT TILL HE GET ALL THE MAP. Ifyou see that hes stick on mutas (number of harrassing flying shits constantly increasing) then build additionnal barracks and split your infantry on a ratio like 1/4 or 1/5 for defending your base and the rest for atacking or taking expos. If you dont see much mutas coming while hes harrassing that means he took 2 expos at opposite spots (like 90% of zergs does in this matchup) and hes switching to hydra/lurks double evo upgrades...
Maybe the problem is that when your getting harassed you're paying to much atention to mutas and your not producing enough rines.If it is that, only practice will resolve the problem. And BTW go at replays.net and get some TvZ reps and you'll quickly see how terrans are ass-raping zerg even with the muta harrass..
|
I have a friend that is always asking me stupid questions like: "If a guy drops on my ledge pvt what do i do?!!!" "If he rushes me what do i do?!" "If he picks terran and im terran. what do i do?!!" hes been playing since before the game came out in stores and he still has problems with playing the game.
But let me tell u why he has this problem. He wastes most of his time observing my games, when he should be playing instead of observing.
I suggest, if u dont want to end up like him Start playing more games and you will deifinitely get the hang of it. I can bet you that in a month or two if you play atleast 5-10 games a day you will be atleast 1-2x's better than you are now.

I assume that was no joke ;( Plz, this game exists since ages, any decent player with an early-guardian build expects cloaked wraiths and gets scourges+ ol speed Oh well, lots of answers assumed that he would know the opponents strat from the beginning. so lets say you went standard 2rax, didnt lose any units but forced him to build a few sunkens ( usually 4 when going 2hatch muta ). now when you scan an early hive, immediately secure your expansion vs muta, expand earlier than usually and go for 3rax m&m with good ups( 2 bay)+ vessels. you may wanna build a few more turrets than usual so that you are able to move out with most of your m&ms and keep him from expanding. the best moment imo is when your second vessel finished, so you can take one with your troops and have one in your base, one irradiate can win the game if you get him in a good moment. once you killed his initial (usual) guardian/ling force, expand once more and get 2fac tanks since he will most probably switch to ultras and keep an eye on the islands...

"Any decent player" do not guardian rush. If terran sees too many mutas and keeps scaning looking for early hive HE KNOWS guards are comming, so it's too easy to keep a vessel and 2/3 valks + 2/3wraith + rines wich rape all air units a zerg can bring to battle, cloaked wraiths isn't even necesary, guards are soooo easy to counter. Guards rush it's simply not viable. (get 2 starports and single bay, if the zerg scout the terran counter and decide to switch to hydra/lurker go mass vessels)
Note: I'm not a terran player, I'm not even a good player, if my theory is wrong plz don't flame

A rush with 24 M&M, 2 tanks, and a few scvs can be good, just keep main defended.

Ah ok, I dont play much zvt/tvz ;p Anyway- can't you kill ovvies ;(? Or, micro from scourge but then I suppose the guardians will delay you too much :O
|
3 rax m&m's with Sv's if u scouted well enough iu shoudl know he is going guards and just get Sv's~~~. About the harass well get a bunker a few extra turrets and go attack b/c if u dont map will be gone*_*i say Sv's are the best counter for guards.2 port Sv's is sexy too;)
|
Frozen Arbiter: if he kill my overs I ensnare the difuse spot in the map and scourge the slow wraiths (Be sexy!)
|
i was right every1 else was wrong besides infinity
|
lol mass valkries
|
valkries own muta and dian... 3-4 is enough....but need micro =D
|
if you get 4 valks and he doesnt build any guardians but straight muta to ultra you lose
|
lallebal please check sclegacy.com strat page!! it worked with me!!!!!!
|
After you finish reading that strat guide. Go play on wgt. You will always get a game. And for a person at your level, it is really worth it. Dont get mad if u lose- a loss is just another lesson learned

What the fuck just happened to this page? It looks all retarded now, theres a big gap on the left

Those 4 Valkyries will make good support for the infantry anyway. If the zerg spend the entire game doing mutas he's not going to have gas for a great amount of ultras late game. The ultras doesn't have upgrades (Of Course), and are just a few so there's nothing to worry. The fact that both mutas/ultras take too long to build and are both too expensive make them a bad unit combo that the zerg player cannot keep for long.
|
ya what happened to page. MEAT!
|
I probly wouldn't get more than 2 valks. try a bunker by your minerals and some scattered turrets.. and marine range. very nice vs drops/muta harass.
|
hmmn I wonder, I think there's a bug :D lol. This topic is retarted. Do what infinity said and let's close it before hell breaks lose.

24 guardians? 24??
you should have 2839184 rines at that time ..

The only replay I have ever seen with a Zerg doing this strategy was YellOw vs Ranger at WCG 2002. What I described above is exactly what happened in that game. And both players are incredibly gosu.

You kick ass.
Since Infinity is fucking good at SC there is no point in argueing with him unless you are better.
Also, I mentioned the replay because people kept telling me to "LOOK AT REPLAYS AND STOP ASKING GAY QUESTIONS". I figured I would mention the only rep I knew of.

for future reference, yellow won vs ranger because he got ranger to stim his medics down to 0, then displayed highly superior control. ranger obviously didn't expect that level of tactical ability. everything else was incidental.

um.. Make turrets and go duel port to get wraiths and vessels. Expand make lots of rines vessels (no tanks since hydra/lurk isn't involved). Its fairly easy to defend guardian attack when you have at least 6 vessels

infinity gosu bw player, nice dude on forums. Maybe rekrul can take ur example and apply it to his bitter self?

sleeping.RUS pretty much showed just how NOT to play as zerg against m&m terran -_-;;

yea same basic idea as everyones but i saw this rep where oxer got like 3-4 turrets at his main around cc and landed his 3 rax around his cc so when m+m came out there right there at the cc and pushed his way out to expo, and from there m+m attack and kill expos
