I played this game a while ago. Quick summary of game: I started off with early zealot harass and went 2gate. He made alot of sunkens and expanded, so I tried to kill his expansion, but he held me off. He basically trapped me in my base. I made a last ditch effort to break his defense and lost the game. I'd appreciate help, and answers to what I should do instead next time.

Hi, try reading this
http://www.battle.net/forums/thread.aspx?fn=sc-general&t=28522&p=1&tmp=1#new28522
Also, try digging around the strategy section for Pvz threads. I'm sure you'll find some that will be useful.

You lost because you're not very experienced and your opponent happened to be more experienced. I don't think tactical advice would really help you at this point. But reading around and downloading replays should give you an idea.

Your enemy took the whole map and had insane amounts of money despite the mass static D he built. You had no real forces to stop him and you didn't tech. Where are the templars? You ought to have more probes, but making 3 new nexus at one spot was very unnecessary.

So, yea, produce those units!
Nothing witty here atm

Holy hell, are you the worst player alive, where was your mind when you were playing this? Or were you like.. Make probe.. go take a crap... Make 3 nexus... run to the store buy some beer, take a nap.. wake up make some carriers and run them into 934959 spores...

Go buy some of this special medicine called Aderol, it helps with focus and stuff.

GL HF.. Do your BEST!

PS. Try again and if you fail SUICIDE ASAP DOOR NOB.

1Rush wtf is wrong with you? He just asked for some help because he is new and lost a game, and you come in and start making fun of him. You might be better than him, and you might be better than me, but you know what? You are a fucking retard. Learn some manners, and try using them to ask for a quick death so the world may be a better place.

im not going to watch the rep but from the sound of it you can mass units as normal (zeal temp goon) and add in 2-4 reavers to break though a sunk/lurk contain.

Here is a list of what I have learned from this so far:
Carriers are expensive.
I am inexperienced at Starcraft.
I suck at Starcraft.
I am a door knob.
My skill level at Starcraft is "negitive one thousand"
Reavers kill static defense.
Did I leave anything out?
edit: Where did I get the phrase static defense from? Meant to put lurker/sunken

Ghin dont listen to 1rush. Sc is a fun game and shitheads like him are ruining the game. Just remember practise makes perfect. 1rush wasn't born with skills, but he was just born without a brain.

static defense works. static defense = defense that is not mobile. But to be more specific, reavers kill containment. its more difficult to use reavers to attack far away target cause a few mutas and 2 scourge = poped shuttles.

one more thing about templar. In PvZ bring more than 6 templar with you is pretty much pointless. There is no way to deliver that much storm before the battle is over. You are better off making archons when you have 5 or so mobile templar (templar that you dont have to leave at your base for defense).

Ghin, the truth is, your play was just so poor that there's really nothing anybody can say that will help you improve any faster.

You lack basic motor skills.

Not only that but it appears as if you are a member of Clan Overdosed? That's probably the single least-respected clan among communities like this. We're respectable, we're legitimate, and Overdosed and the (OD) tag represent the complete opposite of that.

I really doubt this forum is for you. This forum is for people who respect and love the game of Starcraft.

Ghin, don't feel bad about asking for help, it's totally legitimate and haters who diss are good for nothing. Just keep plugging. Your play on the whole was obviously pretty inexperienced, you did a lot of things that more experienced players would never do and failed to do a lot of things more experienced players would have done, which has already been pointed out. Anyways, just wanted to apologise on behalf of the SC community for the fags who flamed you pointlessly.
True learning is not the memorization of knowledge; it is the internalization of patterns.

He wasn't outright insulting your motor skills. Starcraft is not just about strategy. It requires precise movements and multitasking. Until that ability develops you won't be able to execute any of the strategies you see in replays.

You just need practice and more experience. Any one saying build x amount of this or use y of this is not going to help you at this point.

Just play alot of games, preferably on pgt tour and on good maps. It makes a huge difference; it requires you to really think about your play. Lose a lot and analyze your replays.
There is nothing that cannot be made good or bad by redescribing it

Ghin - I think you just need to play more to get some more experience. Like playing against a comp until you can consistantly beat it. After that, try adding in more comps, until you can beat those. Learn what to use as each race against the comp's race, so you can apply that to real games against humans. Of course, the comps will obviously play different than humans (T comps go MM against P, while humans go metal [usually]), but it should teach you the basics - managing economy, speeding up your mouse and being more accurate, hotkeying, basic unit micro, macroing, etc.
