Hi all, I'm about top mid platinum zerg and I usually lose whenever matched against platinum, especially terran, in former times it was easy to outplay them with blings and mutas but now I've reached a "level" where they work themselves towards my base with siege tanks and stuff, and I'm really not that good at controlling big masses of units, which is exactly what I need to do against mmm supported by siege tanks. I attached a replay and ask you guys for advice, it's been a time since I lastly attached a replay, I definitely got better, but I still don't win against opponents in my league. In that game I realized he's going bio + tanks, so I tried to mass roaches with burrow and blings + speedlings against bio + some mutas for harass, it didn't really work out. My macro is kinda bad in that game, I felt very unsure and often had tons of ressources, I know that. Usually I don't macro that bad. I'd be very grateful for any feedback, I need it since I as zerg need more skills against OP terran *ducks and runs away*
everyone's probably at work or just sleeping at this time. i cant help you sorry. im just a noobie bronze
I am a newbie bronze but i've been watching a lot of high level games and now im starting to beat the gold players they give me so i'm improving. Your unit composition sounds pretty good. The only alteration I would make is possibly some infestors. MMM ball can be ground down through extensive use of fungal growth (and then run away). Additionally you gotta remember that the tanks are the weak point of his setup. They are slow, cant' hit air and typically sit at the back. If you harass his setup from the back with mutas this will either split or misposition his ball to deal with that. Even better if you can position infestors at the back and you have the same number as he has tanks you can neural parasite the tanks which will chew through his ball (although easier said than done). The best high level play I see that deals with this kind of force is a large force of speedlings + some roaches/hydras combined with OLs carrying banelings. The micro is pretty tricky you just need to do this: Select OLs (have some empty ones come along as decoys). Float OLs towards him. Select ground force, attack move Select OLs, as they float over hit D and then click on the OL you want to unload (get the timing right) However if you mess up the micro he will down your OLs before they unload! If you succeed though! OH WOW. No more marines.
Yeah gotta try this carpet bomb. But it is quite expensive, the upgrades for the ovs alone needed to do that are 300/300.
My contribution: Nydus worm. Nuf said. If you used the OL to get vision on his base/first expansion. throw out that worm and off those Blings/Cracklings go. Economy down. no more fast pushes. You win
