For every zerg player out there who wants to improve:
Open your replay folder (windows):

Then copy the adress of the folder and go to

to upload your replay and then post the link here.
–> hint: highlight / mark the link so it has a blue background (windows) and press the “</ >” button.

Please include:
- one or more replays
- your mmr (league is not so important)
- your ingame name / nick (it might differ from your forum nick)
- Hints on what you want to improve at or hints
- If you want to get better fast and wish to play a few custom games to train (certain situations or training in general to improve mechanics), please leave your battlenet-ID here. (NO personal data required like an email adress - just the “nick#number”!)
For me there are only 3 kinds of players and if you either don’t want to improve and just fool around, that’s fine and if you want to improve and don’t mind some low IQ idiots to insult you, there will always be players like me who will help you improve.
Some people are better at giving advice, some are worse but the only thing that makes a coach a good coach is success.
And the only 3 things that you need to improve are enjoying the game, playing the game and trying out the advices that you think will help you most.

Thumbs up for the thread. I can join with some help if lower tier players need improvement. I’ve played SC for like more than 20 years. Always welcome the people who want to improve no matter the race or the game they play.

Yaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
A positive thread on the forums!!!
Lol, couldn’t resist. Well I generally know what I need to work on in my own playstyle, but I will keep this in mind next time I have a replay I’m disappointed in or just want another opinion. In light of the topic, I will post my gamertag here also if someone needs a practice partner at a time where Shuuragksh may not be available. Maniac#12435.
Shout out to Shuuragksh for his efforts to adapt the Swarm into a more perfect weapon, as Abathur would put it.

Since noone actually asked for help, I will give some examples because there were a lot of requests on the German forums (feel free to use google translate plus copy & paste):
So as an example, a silver / gold terran linked this replay:
drop.sc/replay/12875841
and the summary of my advice was to
- care more about saturation (40/16 SCVs in the natural, only 6-ish SCVs in the main base and at the 3rd)
- attack way faster (max out with 200 supply and then just do it: a-move!)
Edit:
And the first 2 replays were submitted by a platinum protoss who had problems vs. terran:
- drop.sc/replay/12607185
- drop.sc/replay/12607188
TL;DR (advice):
- expand faster
- try to learn an efficient build (more focus on income & expanding; hitting tech timings like first immortal/observer, storm, charge/blink, forge, …) and train good building placement (block reapers, no wall in front of the natural most of the times (unless vs. early mass helions; get a “half-wall” which you can close with 2 stalkers then)
