So now that I’m in Diamond league, my average win rate is much, much closer to 50%. It’s kind of a shame. A sad sorrow. I’ll miss beating up on Platinum league players. I even took screenshots of my win percentages after my promotion. I’ll always love you, 75% v Terran.
This season, my worst matchup is anything Terran. But specifically, Terran v Protoss. I can’t seem to make it work, for the life of me. I’m trying to incorporate more widow mines into my play. Since they do extra damage v shields and all.
On the other hand, I feel like almost no terran is safe when its the other way around. When I play as a toss, I feel pretty confident pulling off a good old fashioned five gate. Even better is to add on a Robo and pump out two Immortals before you attack. Follow that up with an Observer. With the Immortals, you'll be able to pop open any bunkers with ease. With your MSC you can spot the high ground if necessary. And when the observer finally gets its lazy ass to the fight, you can pick off the widow mines. As a terran, I still don’t know how to stop these kinds of pushes.
My best matchups and ZvT and ZvZ. Which doesn’t surprise me at all, because I use the same opening build for each of these. My classic 2 base bane bust. It beats every greedy terran opening out there. It forces a terran to play honest, and use his initial resources to defend. Same can be said for ZvZ play. And while many complain that this build is cheese, I see it as simple game theory. There’s no reason to kill your opponent at the 20 minute mark, if you can kill him at the 7.
