Things that make goofyballer a sad panda: when I log out of SC2 ranked 3 in my division and then the next day am ranked 1 because everyone ahead of me got promoted and I'm still in bronze

On the bright side I'm feeling alright about my zerg play, now I just need to work on not being awful at Protoss. I took half a step forward today by walling off in a PvZ and going to like 6 gate 2 robo and maxing out, and crushing my opponent's army of ultras/roaches. The problem was that he was sitting on a ton of larva and quickly remaxed on ultras and then he crushed me. ****ing zerg so OP.

This is a screenshot from a TvP on Ohana, which I lost shortly after this screenshot was taken. My opponent 4gated, destroyed the rocks with like 10 stalkers and a sentry, and I had no hope of holding.

I'm curious what proper bunker position is on this map; I obviously should have had 2 bunkers and was braindead for not building another, but I'm curious if I go 1 at the top of each ramp (deny concaves, but each bunker is basically on its own) or build them closer to my command center such that the stalkers might get a better concave but at least will be getting fired on by both bunkers at once.

just build a supply depot by those rocks so you can see them getting attacked

or keep a marine there

unfortunately you never had to play on blistering sands as terran to learn about backdoor rocks =P

10 stalkers and a sentry at 7:30 sounds about correct, if there are ~4 zealots mixed in.

His first warp in was at like 6:10, not terribly slow.

I don't think detecting that he's coming at the rocks is the whole problem - even if I see him coming, my bunker's out of position, and his army supply is like twice mine. My marines get eaten alive in that confrontation.

if you see him killing the rocks, lift your expo to the high ground, build a bunker up there and defend.

^

you also have time to pull a few scvs and defend until you can put 2 new bunkers at the rocks

Rolled Zerg against another Zerg on Entombed yesterday, he hit me with the slowest 6-10pool ever (I didn't bother looking at the replay to see when he dropped it) that hit when I was at like 16 and I lost. What the **** was he planning on doing if I was Terran besides straight up losing?

6 pools shouldn't actually work except ZvP I think no? Just all workers/drones and get surrounds/micro well.
