People must be so bad at this game. I (being mediocre at best) and my friend (who never really played SC 1 multiplayer) made it up to platinum in 2v2. Poor macro, no chemistry, and no real strategy other than "pump out MMM and throw it at them until they die" and yet we won every single placement match. Well, we lost a pair the other night but it was 4:30am and we were really drunk so I'm not counting those.
As of now TvZ feels a bit imbalanced 1v1. If they just mass roaches I either have to throw up turrets (or sensor towers, which need a reduction in price) all over the damn place or sacrifice MULEs for scanner sweeps; either way my economy is gonna fall behind. I've yet to beat a Z that is good at roach harass. Other times they just go baneling/crackling which I can counter with early pressure if I scout it, but once it gets to mid-game I'm getting absolutely wrecked using MMM. I try to stim and run away with rines and position the marauders to take hits when I see em coming, but half the time I get auto-surrounded and buttraped. Maybe I should try throwing some hellions into the mix as well? But then if they start pumping out mutalisks for harass I'm typically too low on gas to get enough anti-air. The only other thing I can think of is playing it like TvP in SC1; hard pushes across the map with tanks, hellions, and some marines to soak up the damage. I dunno, this one has me stumped. Maybe I'm just crying cuz I'm bad and being outplayed :'(
Frag, you play Terran, right? Any thoughts on this match-up? I suppose I should take a look at the TL forums as well
