Hey,
Back in 2019 I went to [almost!] diamond MMR. I’m playing the game again since a few months with friends, as Terran and Zerg, sometimes Protoss.
My main is Terran, my TvT is ok, my TvZ seems to be good, but against my Protoss main friend, I just NEVER win.
Basically, I’ve tried having mass ghosts but I struggle with landing EMPs when the ghost is body blocked, I’ve tried just having mass bio mass tanks but storms chained one after the other make me fall back so far my tanks get picked up, and even when I manage to trade, his transition to sky toss (long range tempest + carriers or mass void rays) feels unbeatable, as mass void rays melts my vikings and when I target focus carriers, the zealot templar are happy to come kill me.

Is the only answer just to micro better or do I miss something ? I feel like I miss some level of understanding of the matchup, it feels to me that Protoss is so strong and I can’t get why I struggle that much.

On the ladder (I don’t play that much on the ladder so I’m currently Gold/Platinum level) I tend to have a TvP win ratio being one third of the TvZ or TvT win ratios

Help :(

Hello fellow Terrans,

I just finished my very first SC2 season in lower plat. I am wondering, from your experience, what the biggest factors/habits that differentiate platinum and diamond level play are. Ideally my goal is that at the end of next season I reach diamond (just a personal goal, no big deal).

I would say that my biggest weakness is still army control (I still blunder my entire army to 2 wrong clicks sometimes), but probably the most important thing to focus on is just macro and to spend the res.

Bonus question: I still have not started using camera location hotkeys. Do you use them in diamond league, and if so, how did you start incorporating them? Did they help your gameplay a lot?

Fellow Terrans, I started playing again with the new 8 workers change, and I have a very low win rate against Zerg.

Do you have some easy to execute (I am plat) build order to recommend? I like to set up a 2 base timing attack, with possibly to expand to the 3rd and do a follow up.

For example, against P i do a 3rax MMM and I have good results.

I tried the 3rax against Z: if they go roach, it's insta win for me most of the times, but if they go ling, without splash I am done. I would like to do a marine hellbat medivac instead, but I can't find a good build to be effective and timely. Any suggestions?

Yea now we can do proxy openers and marauder rushes with very little risk since you can expand for less. plus you can wall easier against z with what would have cost 3 depots.

The 250 planetary cost wont matter since by the time you take your 4th you'll easily afford it and the minerals you save on the CC will easily pay for the PF.

Not gonna last, and money on ghosts being 3 supply again next hotfix. These patches are like watching Donal Trump news flip flip each day, oh what a time to be alive

Hello dear community, I hope you are all having a blast

Old StarCraft 1 player here. I am a 40 years dude now, and I am trying to have a nice start into StarCraft 2.

I installed the game, play a game... and even if there was many familiar faces (scv´s, dones, probes, marines, zealots, zerlings, etc...), there was some new things that makes me want to put a pause, and want to lear a little bit about StarCraft 2 differences and changes from StarCraft 1.

Can you kindly recommend:

1. An existing learning material (video, post, blog, etc) that can help an old StarCraft 1 player to quickly get the changes and differences on StarCraft 2?

2. An existing learning material (video, post, blog, etc) about the differences in Terran?

In case that you want or prefer to share your direct experience, feel free to do it. (I asked for an existing material, so you don´t need to take time to write here, but, if you feel like... I would truly appreciate it as well).

Thanks guys!

Not many options for streams left these days but maybe i missed someone or there is someone streaming on an other platform than twitch. Doesn't need to be super high level, M1 on Eu or GM on Americas would be enaugh as long as they have some off-meta/smart strats or willing to experiment. Would be also be fine if it's just their offrace.

I havent played in like....6 years. A lot has changed since then.

Is there like some sort of Reaper FE into harass into Ghosts that still allows me to stay safe vs all 3 races?

So, zerg has infinite eco right now as anyone know... How to deal with this? Just constant flood + 30 mutas.

It's a small visual change but for some reason it's messing up my reaper micro and I don't really understand why. Is this happening to anyone else?

How would you wall this?

First game on the new patch after a break. This pisses me off.

It seems like Protoss just spams out stalkers and zealots. I can’t beat it. Just waves of zealots seem to crush everything for me. What should I work on? What builds should I focus on? I hold my own against the other two races but Protoss destroys me.

Hoping to create a thread for user to post build orders for the new patch

Hello,

I'm rather new to the game and I started playing with terran, I love how they look and feel so I think I will stick to it. I like to play games with a competitive mind and try to reach as high as I can. When I look to high elo strategies for terran (I know this is for later but I want to make sure I commit to a race with a playstyle i'll like), all I see is bio with a lot of micro and while micro, timings and harrass looks very interesting to learn i fear that this playstyle may become very repetitive in the long run. Are other strategies or unit compositions viable in high elo ? And is there a hidden variety in Bio builds that I can't see now ?

(sry for my english, not a native speaker)

Ok so zerg feels unbeatable now, at least to me in my noob diamond mmr.

What's the plan? How to play this matchup now?

Unlike your father.

Hey, why do some protoss players send a probe to drop an assimilator in my main? I get it that maybe they don't want me going double gas early on, but surely this cannot be in any way efficient for them. I always feel like if they do this then it is my game to lose. Am I missing something?

Context: new player, low platinum league.

Just my hunch <3
