Seeing TvZ with new eyes

Learning things!

I've been barely losing to some zergs I suspect to be C- max. Recently just play a zerg, cut him down to just his main and his one expansion and lost due to bad macro. It was a sure win. Map control has been improving slightly. Just having my marines running around causes most zergs to tense up and defend. My science vessel timing has gotten better. It's nice not to lose to mass mutas anymore.

It's okay to let your macro slip when you're trying to drop and attack at the same time. I just have to make more buildings before that time comes, and try to spend as quickly as possible. Queueing units is more acceptable the longer the game goes.

Mutas aren't of much concern anymore thank goodness. Late game is going to be a challenge. Especially when my drops do no damage. I've been paying more attention to dropping on spots that do the most damage. Surprisingly, dropping behind their natural can do lots of damage and leave them disgruntled.

Something is still perplexing me. How the hell do people have over 200 apm? Are they merely switching between their building units the entire game? How the hell do you make 200 your MINIMUM apm in a 25 minute game?

I am so bad. I'm going to focus more on my TvZ.

Just hit D+. Took only 32 games :-[
