My Protoss game
I've been playing SC & BW since '99 and i've been a complete nubhat most of the time. I only found out about BNET through a friend in like '01.
After joining BattleForums in '02 and reading people's posts and such, i became a better player. I was still a newb though.
After discarding SC & BW for about 6 months, i picked it back up and found i had a renewed interest it in and i was apparently OK (This is when i found my race - Protoss) at the game.
Lately, in the past year, i have gamed solely BForums people. Only because i didn't enjoy public games that much. I just prefer playing with a friend.
And last night i played with PUMPKINHEAD. Of whom i assume most of you have seen him around the SC Forums. I gamed him three times and lost three times. Each matchup was PvZ (I was Protoss - as usual).
The first game, i accidently went to the anti-Terran build order (God knows why), and he realised that and rushed me.
The second time, i got my bearings but still got my ass kicked. Same with the third time.
I have the third replay attached. I know you have to contain the Zerg, but i just couldn't. I felt pretty nub and helpless. I could only expo to the islands and my natural.
Not to make excuses and i'm not trying to insult anyone here, but i put this flaw in my game down to me playing BForums people alot. And the only BForumers that play Zerg, are Sakuhta and Akule.
I personally never thought Sakuhta or Akule were that great, and thus i didn't play that great to defeat them. I play Sakuhta alot, and he still hasn't grasped the right way to game Zerg yet (Or he has, and has lost his touch), and because of this, i haven't grasped the right way to game PvZ.
I couldn't do shit against what PUMPKINHEAD sent at me. He microed pretty well, and i didn't, i hardly tried to micro.
So what i'm saying is, if that someone can take a look at that replay (Hopefully you Phoenix2003 - I've never played you, but you seem to know your Protoss - I need your help!) and tell me where i went wrong, what a possible PvZ build order could be, and what combo's i should use.
I just can't seem to take out masses of Ultralisks/Cracklings/Hydralisks/Mutalisks/Overlords
Any help is appreciated though. But PLEASE, look at the replay, it isn't incredibly long.
I must fix my Protoss game!
