I have been playing terran since release. However I am discovering that I enjoy a very passive style of play. In my experience Terran always has to be aggressive. So I am curious as to what TL thinks is the race that would fit a very defensive passive play style.


sigh... I spent all this time writing you a response in your thread and it got closed, anyways here is my advice

There is no right or wrong answer and that's because every race has the ability to turtle or play aggressively, neither race does either better in my eyes. Protoss, Terran and Zerg can all turtle but easily loses to a player who plays very greedy. A zerg might be preparing for an all-in by turtling but the terran/toss could actually just be expanding aggressively and using units as a feint.

Think of it like this: Mass Expansions > Turtling > Aggression > Mass Expansions

It's quite simple, the greedy player beats the safe player. The aggressive player beats the greedy player and the safe player beats the aggressive player. This is why you CANNOT simply play one style or you will lose when your opponent reads it. If all you do is play passive and your opponent reads that, they will just expand like crazy and contain you.

So my advice is not to pick a race based on how easy it is to defend, but rather how good you feel about playing the race both defensively and offensively when needed. At some point in the game you have to attack or you will just lose and you can't expect to win off your opponents mistakes because eventually you'll reach a skill level where the mistakes are fewer and fewer, don't train yourself into bad habits. Basically don't just play defensive just because it's easier, but scout and react to your opponent, once you start doing this you will become better as player.

Hello guys I'm new to the forum feel free to semi-flame. I was wondering if it was possible to post an SC2 Z v T video to get help on my strategic ability to fend off early Terran aggression. Also how to deal with the nerviness that follows with random drops and all that other good stuff with other things.

The key is to make as many Drones as possible for the attack. If you cut Drones early, your economy will be shit compares to your opponent. You should also practice the Larva Injects with your Queens, which will increase your Larva Count and so your ability to make a lot of units, when it´s needed. For this scouting becomes really important for Zerg players. You want to identify when you opponent is going to attack you and right when he moves out, you want to build as much units as possible. Before that you want to produce as much Drones as possible. Perhaps you could post a replay, so that i can give you specific advise. In what league are you? A typical mistake for Zergs in Bronze and Silber League for example is that they don´t expand early enough so they just have the Larva for 1 Hatchery for a long time.
