Hey TL,
I've been having a lot of problems with my ZvZ battles recently, despite, for the most part having a larger army, I'm some how managing to lose.

In the replay posted below I made several stupid mistakes early on, however I don't think they contribute in any way to the actual main battle. If you guys could help me on where I went wrong that would be a big help.

There are a few things I think I did wrong, such as not all my roaches engaging right away.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

I think the main problem is that all your infestors died after one fungal, while he was able to make infested terrans with the remaining energy. You had about 5 infestors die with around 60 energy. I imagine using all this energy would've made a big difference.

That's my noobish analysis anyway.

Thanks, I think that might have been the primary reason...I was speaking with him after the game and he commented on that also.

always try and spread 'festers out a bit befor a fight, and if you see a large clump getting chain fungled make sure they die with zero energy and it isent nearly as bad

zvz roach/fester fights are all about trying to give yourself a better spread than him to start, then fungling a patch of his roaches and isolating them by pulling back etc, fungle is mostly a tool to let you get more roaches attacking than him, ideally
