why was i still not able to do damage after he move command and threw away like 10 roaches at the beginning, when i immediately tried to counter, i still couldn't do damage. also it seemed like he just had way more than me the entire game.
[H] Could a master Terran or Zerg analyze this TvZ

1. You played fine until about 4:30 where you put down the 2 extra rax that you didn't have the money for. Your intial rax had just finished a round of units and weren't producing so by putting down those rax you missed out on a cycle of marines. 2. Your main was oversaturated from 4:30 until about 6:15 while your natural had almost no workers, so you might as well have been on 1 base. Before you corrected it there were 23 scvs on minerals in your main while only 3 were mining minerals in your natural. In addition to that, you weren't building workers when you pushed out with the double medivac and just generally missing cycles, but you don't need to be masters to figure that out. 3. The double engy bay you built was a waste of money for the longest time, because you forgot about +1/+1. Meaning you could have just built an earlier 3rd CC. If your going to be on 2base for an extended period of time you have to make sure you're being extra efficient with your money considering you're at an economic disadvantage. 4. In terms of composition, you would have been better off making a few extra rounds of medivacs before adding liberators. Roaches are great at absorbing damage, but they often don't deal enough damage to break through a well upgraded bio ball supported by a bunch of medivacs to take efficient trades. Plus ravagers can easily deal with unsupported liberators by casting a few biles. 5. Considering he responded to your double medivac with an extremely slow composition, you could have tried boosting around to get a couple of drone kills. That would be more apm intensive though, so your macro probably would have suffered, but it would be beneficial for you to start practicing that as its necessary to punish players whenever possible at higher levels. Hopefully I wasn't to harsh with this analysis and you found some useful advice. | ||

2 rax was bad decion, you missed 2 rines in medis you could have, stopped worker production and get supply blocked for a moment (i am supply blocked there every time xD). Before drop you were keeping rines in mineral line, ByuN likes to have them on that nice choke above the ramp so you are invernuable vs bane allin. (but you saw 3rd base with reaper so its ok). ************** THIS PUSH ISNT TO KILL ZERG ******************* you cant kill good zerg with it, if you wont have perfect macro behind it you will lose, i tried it many times throwing away my units and died few minutes later. You just need to force zerg to make few units, if he wont he will die. When 3rd medi is coming to party you should have similar worker count with zerg. ******************* 1st drop: very ok, clear some creep, kill 1 ravenger, maybe snipe 1 queen with good ff. As said your macro was bad behind it. I would recommend build 1 medi/ 1 lib. And make 2nd push with 3 medi in main, and lib at 3rd base (for example). My expecience showed that i need to take 3rd about 6min to keep up with zerg macro. Maybe byun is sometimes dalying his 3rd but he knows how to use his existing units. yyy, what i was talking about? ah byun. Check his gameplay, at 6:10 he has 2 fully saturated bases (without fast 3rd), at 7minute you are missing 3/+5 workes. Its quite a few. Your push at 7 actally wasnt so strong, 2 libs were good, position was ok. But there was too much zerg. I still recommend make 3rd medi and drop not losing ANY! unit while doing it. Im very agressive player for most of my life i was throwing my units, but as i was doing it there was no longer possiblily for further harras so macro of opponent is great then. | ||
