Well I've played about 15 ladder games as Zerg.  I think I've won about 8 or them but I'm on a horrific losing skid (5 in a row).....mostly against Terran.  My macro is super bad so I think that's why I'm losing to T ..... also my time to engange has just been atrocious.  Instead of getting him the open or on creep - I seem to be hitting them at chokes etc.  Just dumb dumb dumb.  Ahh well - to be honest I don't even really have a good hotkey setup yet so I'm still figuring it all out.

So far I'm going 14 gas 14 pool (speedlings)  and expand around 20 supply against Terran and Protoss - that seems to be my "idea' going in.  Although it can and does change bases on whatever those freaks are doing lol


For ZvZ I'm going speedlngs and banelings mostly to open....unless it is a smaller map or close positions then I go early roach pressure.

 

Creep spread sucks for me - I focus on it mostly against Terran because speedlings on creep can eat up helions or little marine parties etc.  Queen injects is all fail for me - I need to just worry about queen injects for a few games (few hundred....) I think this is a large part of my failings over all so far as Zerg.  I haven't died to any cheese yet (almost everyone in bronze seems to go for an early pool all in) and my scouting has been getting better.  Starting to figure out the optimal overlord placements.  

 

Well hopefully I can get a few 1v1's in today and turn that horrible 5 game losing streak around.  Trying really hard not to let Terran take a 3rd base but it seems a T on 2 bases can beat me when I'm on 4 or 5 lol....just brutal....marines and seige tanks seem to be my huge stumbling block.  Mostly I suspect I just have to make sure I have way more stuff and engage in the open for the surround.

Yea I have just recently taken up zerg as my second race after terran, and it is quite a bit different game play for sure.
