All that said, I very rarely go out of my way and attack a terran's base. What you should do instead imo is denying expensions BEFORE he can properly defend them, while grabbing 2-3 more bases than him. The map will eventually run out of minerals and you'll have the advantage, or you'll just use your huge eco advantage to tech broodlords and attack.


- Banelings don't work against players above copper
- There is no way you can get to lair tech BEFORE he gets tanks without getting killed earlier by the TLO push
- Broodlords aren't your only option there is:

baneling carpet bombs
ultralisks
proper usage of creep
proper usage of army splitting and flanking
proper usage of nydus worms

Granted you will not win 100% of the time, that would be imbalanced but if you intend to play zerg like protoss (a-move, only 3-4 control groups) you're doing it wrong. If you play zerg like terran (sit back, defend and push) you're doing it wrong. Too many players think that all the races can just macro to 200/200 and win. Zerg just isn't like that, it's totally different. Instead of figuring out new strats, they just come on the forums and QQ that terran is imbalanced.

Try using infesters to neural parasite the tank from up on the high ground. It messes with his army and can seriously hurt him if he isn't careful.

True. many players come here to cry about terran op, imbalance, etc. kinda feel like it, when you see top world zerg players playing really really good, and still loose to a pro terran (they wouldnt loose to a noob terran, we are talking about similiar level skills), that actually made some mistakes along the way...

But leave that appart, for the rest of us, that we are REALLY trying to get around it, to play better, to be able to beat terran. Im running out of ideas, and still having lot and lot of problems. Im not complaining, im just asking for help...

I had a game like this, yesterday. Total turtling terran. Siege, Torrets, PF, Vikings, Mauderers, you name it, he got it (with base + natural). I had ALL the rest of the map, i had tons of minerals, tons of larva, 200/200... And couldnt get in, he was out of minerals, and still turtling. I kept sending ultralisk (+3/+5), broodlord+corruptors (he had way to many vikings, i manage to hurt him some, but at a really really slow progression). Also he was making some harras with small numbers banshees vikings around my many many base, because is really hard to be able to defend the whole freaking map at once.

At the end i win, because i starve him to death, by keep attacking over and over and over and over and over... But after a 70 minute long game, i was to exausted to keep playing, and so i end up quitting for the day, wich means no extra fun, or anything... just sit back and watch some youtube.

Now, if there any better way around? or all my games where terran manage to turtle so well gonna be that long?. If it so... feel like i just should just quit, and concede at that point, and use my 70 minutes to play other more fun games =/

(sorry for my crappy english)
