To the poster above, I like your name.<3
I don't post on these forums a lot but I do whenever I feel like it. I've been playing SC2 for a while and I've been getting really into the game. I started off maining Zerg, but as time goes on I find myself so interested in all three races that I really want to go trying to use random.
I am only really a silver level player at the moment, so getting to a point where I can hit higher levels isn't affected by my ability to abuse zerg, but I feel more with my weakness in mechanics in general.
Also, I've never been 100% set in stone for using zerg. I love them and I probably will end up using them, but they feel like you need to understand the game to use. And I feel like using the other races anyway. =P
So what I thought that I would do is have a general plan for what I want to do in all of the match-ups. I like to play an economic style, and I also want to have fun. ^_^'
[COLLAPSE="Terran vs Zerg"]I want to open with a fast Command Center and tech fast into banshee with cloak. I will get out two banshees and a raven from the starport for early pressure and scouting; once the raven is out, I will switch into production of a Marine/ Ghost(again, cloak)/ Tank/ Medivac core. The single raven will be used for battles to pick observers; if there are no observers, my ghosts and banshees will wreck everything.[/COLLAPSE]
[COLLAPSE="Terran vs Protoss"]After watching Day9's hardcore TvP analysis, I really want to try using his build which uses Marine/ Marauders as the attacking force and using basic Protoss timings as a point for attacks. It revolves around getting an early CC with a single reaper for harass+scouting, a lot of barracks, and upgrades for infantry.[/COLLAPSE]
[COLLAPSE="Terran vs Terran"]5 rax pressure into expansion. I don't know anything about TvT so fun ideas can be suggested here.[/COLLAPSE]
[COLLAPSE="Protoss vs Zerg"]Forge FE into quick stargate and then a massive gateway army with Collosus... aka MC.[/COLLAPSE]
[COLLAPSE="Protoss vs Protoss"]3 Gate Blink stalkers. If I want to pump up the aggro I go for a 4th gateway and continue to pump stalkers, and when I calm down I pump some sentries and go for an expansion into more gateways and continue the stalker aggression.[/COLLAPSE]
[COLLAPSE="Protoss vs Terran"]I go for a decently fast expansion off of three gates and get two forges for quick upgrades while also getting Charge and Blink. When I have 2/2 and those, I go and kill him with Zealots and Stalkers.[/COLLAPSE]
[COLLAPSE="Zerg vs Protoss"]I want to go with an expansion heavy style that uses a Ling/Baneling/Infestor composition with 2/2 upgrades so that a single baneling will kill probes. AKA Morrow.[/COLLAPSE]
[COLLAPSE="Zerg vs Terran"]Again, expansion heavy with heavy Zergling play. Tech to mutas to have a heavy counter-attack style of army, keeping the opponent pinned in his base long enough to tech to muta to kill him.[/COLLAPSE]
[COLLAPSE="Zerg vs Zerg"]Overpool is a surprisingly economic build; combined with the faster speed I may be able to straight-up kill off an opponent that gets greedy with an expansion. Even if that is not the case, it leaves me with room to safely expand; once I'm on two bases, drone up to a reasonable amount and go with mass roach and hit a timing push with +2 attack. Still unsure about this... I hate all of the ditto match-ups.[/COLLAPSE]
