Just got into platinum in 2v2 and gold in 1v1.

Have played about 390 games and it feels great!

Zerg for the swarm btw!

Nice!

Make more drones : )

grats

Problems i have atm is protoss, with its mass units and when they make these walls around me.

And vs zerg is when they sneak attack with mass zerglings + banes.

Help is needed for this noobie

scouting is the biggest thing vs toss as zerg. you want to sac an ovie and see his tech whenever possible - then counter it. also knowing how to EFFICIENTLY get to 3 bases quickly will land you some easy wins when you understand how to macro zerg.

you can honestly be the worst player in terms of micro and rape a toss by 1a'ing enough roaches bc your build is good and he didn't try to punish your greed. the matchup for you is about making as few units as possible until you're on 3 fully saturated bases basically. you just need enough army before this to stop any kind of 3rd base harassment he has planned. and ofc, if he is 2 base all-in'ing, you need to make units a bit earlier.

tldr: make drones, then make a shitload of units and overwhelm him.

if you wipe his army once, you've pretty much won the game. toss cannot replenish nearly as quickly as you can.

This is all good advice. Especially the scouting part--twice as critical against Protoss, who are prone to doing two base timing attacks. You need to see what type of tech is coming out of his two base push and then build to counter it. If he goes stargate and you're unprepared, you're probably going to die. But even worse, if he goes for an immortal push and you don't scout it until he's on creep? You're dead as shit.

Beyond the basic mechanics, SCOUTING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF STARCRAFT.

So nice answers guys.
I will try to absorb all these tips the best i can.

A game is so intense.

Can u guys help me what units are good vs each other. (sorry for english)

you can check the ingame help menu tab with units, there if you click on an unit's icon it shows which units does it perform well or weak against

not in gold league though

yeah, this is true, in metal leagues it's only random shit coming, no timing attacks, or anything well planned. In lower leagues as you scout you need to look for basic things, like if he doesn't have gas, he is not likely to attack with anything powerful, or if he has much gas it'll be probably something high tech and you better get detection and some basic defense, you need to look for clear signs
