This particular zerg I played today wasn't even that good. I can't count how many times I killed his army but he just keeps making more. It's so frustrating! Things I noticed: -He had higher apm (but apm means nothing anyways) -I could have had better macro (but I had to micro) http://screplays.info/files/153825283/WillzlingvsJesuSatan.rep | ||

Also if you win a battle go after any expansions and take expansions of your own too | ||

Scout more, play faster, play more often so you can "feel" when it's time for the zerg to take another expansion. Then prevent expansions with your units. Killing zerg expansions is a lot easier if you get to them before they're up and running. Scout like a madman. | ||

Why did you build cannons where you did at the nat? The placement makes NO sense. I'm just not going to finish watching the replay. Besides the simple and easy answer and excuse of "need to macro better", you need to understand opening builds, which you don't. It wouldn't be an overstatement to say that you already lost the game 4 minutes in. | ||

Harrass the zerg's econ Macro and just try and match expos. If you kill a z's army, you can take an expo or kill one of theirs (Usually). | ||

You further solidified your disadvantage by not inflicting any sort of damage to the zerg. Just 5 minutes into the game you were quite behind, and there hasn't even been any sort of combat. It just makes no sense for a protoss to 2gate and just let his zealots sit around doing nothing. If you 2gate, you have to press into the zerg. A decent zerg will repel a 2gate with a 12hatch, but you can gain an advantage or just outright kill the zerg if he micros poorly or makes some bad decisions.
