Infestor/lings/banes/roaches...I went tanks/rines/mauraders/hellion got raped...

then tried a lot of thors/couple tanks/mass mauraders....got wrecked.


Whats the best way of going about this.

11/11 rax scv allin, dont let him get to infestors.

I dont like to be a faggot. But it does seem like either all in against zerg or fucking die the majority of the time.

It's not gay to allin, its part of the game and if you dont like it you shouldnt be playing.

It feels better to outplay my opponent completely rather than hopefully kill all my scvs in hope of having some of an army left to kill the rest of his shit.

you know you completely outplay him if he doesnt defend the allin, right?

We have different definitions.

I posted this on another thread, but seemed relevant.

MMM vs Ling / Bling is easy mode; ctrl click marines, stim, and split. Let marauders soak the bling splash damage (prayers of bad zerg micro, but zerg right?). It is imperative to make sure you don't split to far away from your initial engagement. Given that if you split your forces to far you won't have enough DPS output to clean up.

MMM vs Ling / Bling / Festor requires far more micro and should be pre-splitting before engagements to minimize fungal damage, or you can mass medis, given that your DPS output will be significantly lower.

Splitting and kiting are two different things. Common sense I know.

It is also a good habit to check your flanks

I <-- Forward Marine



I <-Flank Marine Flank Marine -> I

If you want to be super safe check your Six

If you have a forward marine it will also warn you on when to Siege your tanks.
Tanks can tank damage like Marauders.
Everything else still applies.

While I understand you said that your opponent had roached in the composition this is pretty much given.
Learn to split like a champ and you'll be fine.

All easier said then done. Hope this post helps!

If you beat someone you outplay him, be it mentally or in a game which goes longer than 5 minutes. Sure flanking with marines and targetting banelings with tanks is fun and might give you a rush, but if you have trouble doing that later, just 11/11 scv allin

You should watch streams/old VODs. As a Terran player you should learn how to execute timing attacks. There are actually many different kinds, even for each play style (Mech/bio/etc.). Also keep constant pressure, many Terran players will keep constant pressure with drops/hellions.
