Playing sc2 again and need some help with Zerg.
What do I build vs A Terran army of marines and marauders?
And if I see the Terran build an early base do I take my third or try and end? If I try to end how would I penetrate the depots?
Also how is Zerg race compared to Terran Protoss? I know at pro level it is weak, but at silver-diamond is it good?
Thanks
E/ vs an army of marines-marauders-Medivacs-siege tanks, what do I want to build?! I feel like I just get rekt...
Also isn't it zerg>toss>terran>Zerg, for me it seems like this at least

vs MMM, build banelings + lings and hit the marines not the marauders. Lings > marauders, banes > marines.

If Terran takes a fast 3rd you can attempt to end or you can expand as well. It's a playstyle decision. You pen the depots with banes.

Anything is good below the pro level. Zerg is not necessarily weak at the pro level.

If tanks are added, you need to get zerglings behind his army without him seeing, then attack the tanks with the lings from the back and the mmm ball with the lings + banes from the front. Add mutas if you want for tank sniping, or vipers for pull + cloud.

At every level it is Protoss > good play > anything else.

If you're silver at this point you're only playing for fun so just play what you enjoy most.


If you happen to enjoy winning games while putting in little to no effort Protoss is your best choice.

I used to be plat :p and yea I'm just playing for fun, but at the same time trying to improve. Should I just look at liquid for builds?
I like Zerg, but I really hate playing vs Terran with them.

Unfortunately you can't choose the matchup you want to play on ladder.

TL is a good starting point yes. Or you can dibbun your way to masters with no hotkeys and <60 apm with the Protoss race.
