The fact that this post has 8 likes really shows the skill level these zerg whiners play at. It’s absolutely hilarious watching borderline troll complaints getting mass upvoted by serious whiners

No one cares if you can win in diamond. Diamond players are terrible.

Just like parting in the gsl almost lost to a 12 pool that did no damage. Guess he is trash too.
Theres a reason why everyone tries to kill zerg in the first 5 minutes of the game.
I watched that game. Parting gave up every advantage he could. He’s a solid player but he threw that game. l2p

Because zerg is the easiest to kill of all three races in the first 5 minutes.
2rax not scouted → dead. Cannonrush not scouted → dead. Proxy gates not scouted → dead.
While toss and terran simply do a full wallin and are safe against everything. Terrans can even defend a ravager allin, if its unscouted, with ease.

Are you really trying to argue that the other 2 races can keep up in macro with a zerg if they dont attack them early. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Now i know you are just being argumentative.
where did i say such a thing? oh right, its called strawman argument.
Here is where you’re wrong.
A 12-pool is actually an economic play. It’s designed to hinder protoss economy and while zerg can safely macro up. And if youre talking about the 12 pool vs cannon rush game, then as you saw, soo died to actual game ending cheese
Here is an example of an actual Zerg 2 base all in
Game 2 of:
Solar all-ins on 2 bases. In fact he does THE EXACT SAME ALL IN YOU DESCRIBE IN YOUR TITLE. perfectly executes it, and has 50% more army supply than TY, and still gets demolished.
THAT is how bad Zerg early pressure is.

you literally just said pros attack zerg at 5 minute because they are weak. No they attack them to slow them down. due to their economy being so good.
thats your opinion.
just tell me this: how often do you see a zerg being massively behind after a 2-3rax/cannonrush? and how often do you see a terran/toss massively behind after a 12 pool?
since you will give a biased answer, i spoil it for you - you NEVER see a pro losing to a 12 pool, or if so, its maybe the case in 1 of 100 games. at the same time, you see a zerg losing after cannonrush/2-3rax on regulary basis.
hell, what do you think where the meme about winrates of 2rax come from?

it literally just happened in the gsl. SoO won with a 12 pool with no chance at protoss winning.
Lol you cant even admit that players attack zerg to slow down their economy.
slow down an economy, which is naturally behind until 3rd is established, okay.
and you cant admit that zerg is getting cheesed in early game, because its really weak against it. so wheres the point?

Sir? May I suggest building more tanks/widow mines?
And don’t worry about macro - just be very active on the map and work on your macro mechanics. No need to play with perfect macro - just get out on the map and poke again and again.
After the game you can analyse if your tech was good (blue-flame hellions or widow mines vs. mass lings, tanks vs. mass hydra and so on) and your SCV & base count. 3 base + macro is tricky if you’re slow.
But you could also go for battle cruisers, PFs and tanks like florencio does (just better macro).

Economy means nothing if you have the better tech.
So being behind in eco or tech is fine as long as you can trade well (more stuff beats less stuff). Remember that zerg has mostly melee units first (and queens) so that’s why reapers can scout or an SCV and then you get hellions or even blue-flame hellions and banshee and/or tank vs. roaches or cyclones.
i.e. if you want to go for hellion/cyclone, you simply adjust (get more of) your cyclone production and gas income vs. roaches and vs. mass lings you go for blue-flame and less gas, more hellions, faster expos and so on.
Or you get a round of thor/mine after trading vs. lings and then cyclone/hellion again or whatever so there’s tons of options how you can scout and adjust your production and tech route.
Great builds are efficient but if your opponent can adjust to your strategy, you get hard-countered.
Terran OP. Thors OP. Tanks OP. Nydus UP. zerg air UP. Terran need nerf. Zerg need buff.
That’s true, Zerg is an OP race now LUL
