Ostojiy's Reactive Guide to Zerg vs Terran
After a brief hiatus from competitive StarCraft to focus on school, I bring to you my thoughts on StarCraft from a reactive perspective, focusing on the ZvT matchup. The key to this guide is not to teach you what order to build units in, but rather teach you ways to think about the game and counter what your opponent is doing. Hopefully this will help players become more than just a robot and actually actively think about what they are doing and how it counters their opponent. Having a plan and a mid/endgame goal are critical skills that are oftentimes overlooked.
I sincerely apologize to everyone that has been waiting for this, it was obviously not my top priority over the last few months. That being said, I wrote and rewrote quite a bit, and would continue to write on it were it not for that feeling of enough is enough. While this guide is based around WoL, I honestly believe that it is more about teaching you ways of thinking about the game more so than how to beat a specific build. Certainly parts of it will become obsolete with HoTS and metagame shifts, however the core message should stay the same. If there is interest, I may be willing to try and tackle the ZvP matchup post-HoTS launch over the summer.
