Let’s look at some data.
So the general trend is upwards, but there were some harsh losing streaks - especially after a forced 1 month break due to a cable outage. Thanks vodafone!
In the right graph it’s quite noticeable that I finally managed to get more consistent regarding supply blocks.
Looking at this I would have expected other numbers. Terran feels like my worst match-up by far with subjective 10% win rate. Versus Zerg I feel like it’s a coin-flip if I get Ling flooded or not. If yes, I am still really bad at holding or walling off. If no, I can often out-macro my opponent. Protoss is the match-up I am most comfortable with. Sure, Airtoss crushed my face many times, but with better scouting and creep spread I started to get better at holding 2 base all-in timings.
Goals for the new season
Ingame
- More consistent creep spread, especially in the early game
- More consistent scouting
- Use scouting information mainly for Drones vs Units and cheese defense
- Slowly get more comfortable with Ravagers and Speedlings
- Don’t neglect macro while working on the points above
For this blog
I love the “Highlight/Lowlight of the week” section on the Podcast The Climb: The StarCraft Ladder Experience and I also think replay analysis is worth practicing because it improves self-coaching a lot. That’s why I am thinking about adding analysis of highlight or howlight games to this blog.
The process will probably be to post the replay and my own analysis to the /r/allthingszerg Discord first and then post it here including the input of the fellow zergs. I am not sure about the final format because replay analysis with just text and images could be quite challenging. It should not be a 200 page novel for every replay, but it should also cover the biggest mistakes or most awesome moments.
