Hey all,
I am Protoss - Gold, and I in my league I play well in PvP and PvT, in those matches I win more then I lose. However, in PvZ I face a lot of problems. I lose more then I win. My main problem in PvZ is that I am too passive in the early stages, and as a result Zerg can have a macro party.
I normally go FFE, and I have no problems getting my 2nd base and defence up; however, getting a 3rd is difficult for me; especially if Zerg already has an overlord/zergling at my 3rd, I feel "scared" to expand. Furthermore, I find it difficult how to pressure to deny the 3rd of the zerg. If I stick on 2 base, I do not have enough gas to support both Colossi and HT/Storm and/or Stargate/Void Ray. Even if I manage to go 2 base-All in, I basically win one or 2 battles, but since Zerg is then on 3 or 4 bases, they have more resources and larva to remax faster, while I do not and then I lose the game macro wise in the end.
I already had a lot of tips, to put pressure more early, and to get my gas earlier to get colossi out faster, but the problem is that I am too passive, giving Zerg too much time and opportunity. I need to me more aggressive, and overcome the idea to "lose units", if I can deny a 3rd of kill some drones.
What I hope, if that I can have some games with supervision. If one of you could play me as Zerg (Pref. Gold/Plat), and we have another (pref. Plat/Diamond) player in the same game observing the game from my view only and during the game give me tips/tell me what to do how to pressure the Zerg more early. If I can play 2 or 3 of those game on a night, I could learn a lot from it.
Anybody willing to help me with this? I am every day online on the EU server (also on TS) from 20.00-22.00/23.00
Thx in advance,

He Awaken. Poke me ingame and i'll show you a replay with a build who helped me defeat zergs up until plat/diamond league. (most diamond and above counter it so need a new build for that )
That's why this thread was opened.

I have the same problem vs. zerg as terran. To win vs zerg 1v1 you need solid early-game harass.
Tank usually helps out when he isn't busy but we haven't gotten many training sessions going.
Add me ingame, we run groups of 3 I'm available for harrassment-practice at any time (when i'm online).
Many of the pro's agree that right now late game zerg is too strong unless you manage to damage them early one, more so as Protoss. I am not sure how things in the lower leagues are but my suggestion for protoss players is if you cant take a 3rd go for two base all ins or outright cheese them. Crappy solution I know but until a next unit balance patch that's your best bet.

I found Naniwa's builds to be super helpful. Don't even need to go FFE since I'm not worried about a rush. Zergs have to have their *** together by 10:00 or its over.
