At least that's my understanding of "timing" from the standard Zerg perspective. I'm guessing Chef was referring to the fact that if you don't start Turrets at the right time vs. 3 Hatch Muta (or 2 Hatch Muta, as you said), then you're fucked. If you don't do your 3 Tank push before Zerg has consume and Defiler, you're also fucked, because you NEED to push in order to retain map control? From my outsider perspective on TvZ, at least. The main thing about it having a "timing" is because if you build them too early you set back your macro & unit production & delay your tech. Ideally you want to have them start building when mutas start moving towards your base so that they'll be done right as they arrive. Which for 3 hatch is around 7:30. Sometimes you forget with everything else that's going on (harass, zergling runbys scouting, macro, comsats, denying 3rd base, etc) It's one of the reasons I turned to opening fake mech, or doing fast valkyries from standard openings. even if you mess up your turret timing you have a way of defending against the mutas. provided you have decent micro and building placement. TvZ is only favored towards terran if the terran actually knows what he's doing. Until you figure it out, it's going to be a painful experience.

There's really no comparable feeling in this game to having 5 control groups of Mech and fat line of Siege Tanks, or covering an entire map with Mines and using them as a tracking device on the Protoss army combined with the maphax Comsat xD However, I've finally appreciated the patience that is required to play Terran, finally. Also, understanding the logic behind timings. That's really important for Terrans. A strong timing push is so brutal @_@; I think it's something like 2-1 180? So dirty. Also, dropship play? :D On topic: Pick the race that feels most comfortable when you're playing. I used to think P was super easy and tried to get good at it to no effect, then I switched to T and things just came naturally after understanding the match ups. Also, I love vultures and valkyries. Have fun! | ||

Have fun! Yoo, long time no see ^^ How've you been? I used to play Terran with Dropship every game, Mech vZ, all of that. It was fun but it felt gimmicky and when I got denied, I got denied HARD. The other day I almost lost to a 100 apm D~ level Protoss because I went Vulture drop and he went 1 Gate, no Range, Robo + Reaver, no Obs, but FORGE + 2 CANNONS in his mineral line and 1 cannon at the front. Meanwhile, I went CC before Ebay and had only 4 Marines and 1 Tank to defend against 1 Zeal 1 Reaver drop. I lost damn near all of my SCVs and did zero damage in exchange. If the Protoss plays safe or defensive, drop sets you back too, IMO. I've been much more consistent by playing standard, and in the process have improved my play and knowledge more than I ever would have as a harass-oriented Dropship player xD | ||

The only race that has never been fully realized is Zerg. With each other race all of the best responses and actions have been coursed through, but with Zerg there is an infinite amount of intelligent or indulgent approaches you can take. This is true in the early game, in the middle game and in late game: Zerg is an Art. Protoss is trolling. Terran is work. Choose a race that shares your infinite potential for genius. Join the hive and free your mind. | ||
