What should had I done in this game? I am having a lot of trouble against 2 barracks push. Should I not be making an expansion at all? I thought the mc 1 gate FE was a safe opening against this? I scouted his 2 barracks but still failed to hold it. Tips?

I don't think you did MC's 1gate FE build. Looked like a 3gate build to me. Expo was late, robo was late, and some of your probe production was off.

I think you can hold against it if you had some more sentries (to FF trap) and 1-2 immortals.

I did try to do mc 1 gate, however I scouted the 2 barracks so I instantly put down 2 gateways for the incoming push, this is why I guess the rest of my tech was late. What do you mean some of my probe production was off?

Mc's 1gate FE should hold 2rax easily with correct execution. Again, read monk's thread and study mc's replay vs mvp.

Well 2 Rax is one of those that scales well with execution, so I wouldn't say it's "easy" to hold.

how the hell do i beat zerg? im gold and i absolutely demonize plat terrans and protoss' but zerg wtf i can never win. If i dont immortal sentry all in at 9 minutes it's impossible to win against zerg they just mass up units and kill me no matter waht i do. In this game i killed his hatcheries over and over yet what do you know...still manages to mass ultras while i struggle to acquire a drop of piss worth of a unit. If i expand they kill the expansion, if i dont expand they still kill me.

I need a solid way to beat zerg over and over so i can get into plat, this is litterally what keeps me in gold league. PvZ. all their crap...mass roach push, ling muta. it pisses me off to no end. I played as zerg for a while and i know how ez it is to win below diamond against protoss.

once i finally get rid of the guy's mutas he suddenly comes with mass lings and roaches. I'd honestly have preferred if he went broodlord infestor atleast i can beat that most the time.

can someone coach me in pvz this guy was plat zerg and i dont even think he was that good anyway he could've done so much more with the mutas but this is about me not him. I kept my money low. I don't know when the fuck i should be pushing out because if i do mutas will just run over base. anyone care to teach me PvZ so i can not lose to silver level zerg scrubs.

This game would be fun if I could actually do something against zerg but nope nothing works. I went stalker archon and eventual mother ship because i assumed that since he had a spire already up he'd go broodlord. I like playing macro games against terran and toss but against zerg it is not humanly possible.

Any help would be good before i hang myself. if anyone could help me in game too that would be nice my code is 950. just message me when im on American server.

It is. If it's not helpful, you're the problem, no one can fix that.

so by this logic, when anyone has a PvZ problem, you just link the guide? i'm pretty sure if thats all he needed he would look at the guide. but he probably doesn't know what he's doing wrong so you can at least look at the replay

Well, the guide contains everything. If he says "all their crap" is giving him trouble, this is the perfect thing to look at.

Also woooohoooo I'm templar now. No idea how icons are decided but yaaaaaay.

Is it advantageous to use a control group for Warpgates instead of the default 'W' key? I've seen many pros hotkey their Gateways, and I've also seen many that simply use 'W.' Some of my friends rebound 'W' as a control group for Gateways. I can see a control group being advantageous in some ways, but the fear of accidentally adding foreign units/buildings/losing the Gateways from the group always plagues my mind. What is accepted as the best way in today's evolved SC knowledge?

The short answer is no.

The longer answer is: Some pros map a Robo or some other tech building to their Gates so that tapping the key will allow to to, say, warp in 3 Stalkers and start an Immortal.
