Ha. I gotta watch the Day9. Is anyone else using YABOT? I'm thinking about switching back to Zerg, now that I got the 25 terran 1v1 win achievement. I wanna roll my way out of silver

It's games like this that make me want to say terran is OP. While I don't necessarily take that stance, I still think terran infantry is a bit too mobile, strong, cheap, and quick to build. Not any one of these one aspects is unbalanced, but I feel that combined it may be a bit too much. For example, in this game(I certainly made a lot of mistakes), I had double his workers, was ahead by 20-30 food for most of the game, yet my army couldn't do anything, even though he was floating 1000-1500 minerals pretty consistently. I mean christ I had double the workers, he floats a ton of money, but his army is still able to beat mine...this does not seem right. This is also the perfect example of why toss needs colossi/templar, but I never got them this game due to the constant pressure. I was always trying to warp in reinforcements and never felt like I had the window to tech. And before anyone yells forcefield his army...I was trying. But you can't when he won't sit still. He just slowly kept picking off zealots and I couldn't do anything.
i dunno if you wanted tips but i'm gonna give them to you anyway!
first, I'm gonna tell you straight up that zealots without charge against a marauder heavy army are absolutely, 100%, completely useless. If he's going heavy marauder/marine, you cannot attack him with zealots without charge. marauders smash stalkers and can kite zealots indefinitely so you're either going to need templar, collosi, or charge to deal with a bio army.
Unless you overwhelm with a quick 4gate or catch them off guard in some other way, I've found that early game TvP leans heavily towards the terran player due to marauders. They're just too good against normal zealots and stalkers, it's almost never worth attacking early if they have a comparable force. My advice would be to turtle up a bit until you can get to those higher tech trees. You didn't need those extra warpgates halfway through the game, 4gates should keep your army high for a very long time. It would have been wiser to either build more units, tech up, or build some cannons at that point.
In the end, he beat you by going pure bio without any tricks or fancy micro or anything. That's definitely beatable, you just need to play patiently. If it's clear he's going bio, know that an equal food army is just about always going to smash yours, especially on their home turf, without certain upgrades or higher tier units. Terran has the best defense in the game and superb offensive units. Don't fight battles unless you know (or think you know) that you'll come out on top.
God damn it I got wrecked by mass banshee viking the other day. I had many hydras and ultra/ling but couldn't handle the air...every time I got a few overseers over there he'd viking the shit out of me.
I think I was on 3 base for a while and he had 2 up for a short time, couldn't deal with it and got very frustrated.

I immediately joined a custom game, it was tvt, bnet crashed it (or I dropped but I think it was bnet)
but I watched the replay since I was doing no tank/marine/marauder and I see my opponent only got some reapers and was working on a starport so I messaged him and he was doing funday monday too
