absurd amount of zerg lately. my last 20 games have been like 15 zergs. does the game tend to shy away from giving you a mirror match?

im at 1300 now and these zerg players are so much better than before. usually i feel like im getting raped unless they screw up hugely.

my helion control is pretty bad so i usually go for banshee harass but i dont think im doing enough damage before muta pops. having so much trouble against mutabaneling because I'm not very good at pushing with tanks. usually get caught in a flank while moving out. how exactly are you supposed to keep track of where their army is especially with burrowed banes/lings at key spots ?

I was bored so I decided to try this weeks Funday Monday thing in a custom game. It was TvZ on LT.

I've played like 2 games as Terran in 1v1. I went bunker with 2 reapers first then I got 3 blue flame helions and dropped on the guy and killed like 5-6 workers. So pretty even scratch. He went mass muta/ling, so I just went banshee/thor/blue flame helion, it really wasn't close. Kinda funny to me. He was in platinum.

are there any websites dedicated to learning the basics of starcraft? Any video training?

Thanks

It's Clayton! There is a beginner's thread floating around with some links on hotkeys and such. Day9 has a lot of videos. Google for him and ******** for a ton of archives.

lawl sc2 downswing

2-8 last 10 solo games went from 1340 to 1260 d, lots of tilt and stupid mistakes..

I think every game I get my collosus killed in bad spots trying to run away from armies, and not using them at all!

When pros run their colossus away with < 4hp away 5 times in one game, I always wonder if it's skill or luck.

I'm sure there's some skill involved, but I vote for selection bias - they're the games that people upload

Take my 10 supply depot scv to scout his base. See it is woefully empty, nexus and probes, nothing else. Realize something is up. Scout the entire map. Can't find him anywhere. Lose.

Ok just lost another game in which I was moving to attack an army then had my collosus in front and lost 2 while trying to retreat them to the back.

My question is as Im used to right click then a when im fighting, but when I was at some sc2 lan a month ago in Toronto, alot of people were using a to move and attack rather then my method.

Am I the only one that does this? Or should I a move to attack?

I use a to move. Also make sure you put your colossi in a separate control group. Make sure they are always behind the rest of your army. It takes extra clicks, but it's absolutely necessary.
