E V O L V E S ! -> Lost Temple (PvT)

[Valjean]

Okay, awhile back, when I BSed on Fastest maps, I found I couldn't play on regular maps good at all, my game had been messed up. So, I stopped BSing and played E V O L V E S ! maps (and some other UMS maps, but mostly E V O L V E S !) so I could wean myself from money maps. I recently decided to start playing on regular maps again, almost like a fresh start. I played as Zerg vs. Terran first, but I constantly died, always dying from Infantry+Seige Tanks. So played Protoss vs. Terran and won on my first try, but I felt I had made a lot of errors and was surprised I had managed to win at all...:/

So, could people look at my replay and give me some constructive criticism? I'd much appreciate it.

ZvT is very hard on a low level of play because all terran has to do is attack move and you'd still have to know what you're doing to win.

PvT is the same way except reversed.. terran has to know what he's doing to win.

I tried to watch your replay, but it is corrupt. From what I did watch before I realized it was corrupt, I was about to comment on how huge newb your opponent is. Then I realized you were playing a comp.

Don't post games vs computers. They are stupid. Play some 1v1 on bnet.. about 50 games and learn how to build, then ask for help.

Maybe if you watch this replay you will gain some understanding of how to play PvT. gl hf.

Heh. I played against Hunta, this time as TvZ (I'm Terran). Both Hunta and I noticed how I was doing good at the begining but then I slow down in progress. He also pointed out I should've taken the cliff next to my first expansion. Any other tips? Replay:

Hm you're doing good.
I would have done worse.
Werewolf get yourself a bnet gateway editor so we can play on a headoff server
(don't have a orig cd-key)
I want to see how you'll do on a ZvZ.
I've had 9 wins at ZvZ & about 5 losses.

Okey, after playing seven (?) games against you today, I think that your biggest problem is making the change from playing against computers to playing against humans. You'll just have to keep at it to get over that hurdle.

Humans are a lot more conniving and intelligent to computers, and the same tricks just won't work. :)

lol.. wherewolf, come on bnet I'll play you a few games and try to teach you some stuff. =/

I just got home, and it's been almost an hour since this post, so I don't think you're on Bnet anymore...I'll e-mail you and try to get your attention so we can play. >_>

ok..im watching the replay, and here's some small tips (not too important)
1) It's better to set rally points for units (especially scv at start), it would take less time to travel to the mineral)
2) Don't start building ur gas so early when playing tvz, cuz its pointless + wasting money, instead use the $ to get a 2nd raks.
3) Stick to certain units only once u've chosen ur strategy, dont make a combo that's a little of everything.

anyway...good luck on improving! ^^
