    HELP!

    ZvZ is frustrating me to high hell! I just can't seem to get an edge here or there.
    You see I don't know what I am doing wrong. I spend my larva on army, and I lose out on economy, the minute he fends me off, I spend my larva on econ, and I am struggling against a huge army 2 minutes later!

    Replays below! AHHHHHH God-dammit!

    Well this is both zerg week and EU week for Day9 who is casting in two and a half hours. Todays is on ZvT but he has three segments on ZvZ (Sens) which I would recommend.

    I remember him saying that you can get a sense of what your opponent is doing simply by the units you see at the front. If you see lots of queens then he is pumping drones . The same can be said about the number of zerglings he has. By scouting the front you can see what he is doing.

    If you have sent an army and he is able to fend it off then you shouldn't attack. You can be aggressive and lure him into overmaking zerglings and other defenses while you pump at your economy but dont commit to an attack. This will give you an advantage in the long run.

    Watched the first 2 replays, you were very much ahead up until mid-late game in both cases, your problem is tech.
    your drone count and income are always ahead and perfect but your unit composition needs work.

    the first match you just took a hard counter, muta's v roaches.
    now you seen this and nearly reacted acordenly, after you sent your roaches to there doom by the hands of muta's, you went and made more roaches :) over hydra's, this was primarily your only error in that match.

    the second one, once again, you threw about 30 supply worth of roaches trying to kill the gold.. zerglings are best for that type of harassment as you can quickly get them out of there. If you had have pushed with your whole army you would have him under pressure i'd say, it was preety much 2 to 1 at that point.

    Later in the game you also split and lost your hydras, about 15? or so while again alone without your army, get into the habbit of moving them togeather and also try your best to back off the moment you see infesters, the amount of damage they can do to you when that many with support is devestating as you've seen.

    mostly a micro issue, your macro seems perfectly fine, also risk is part of the game, don't be afraid to try for a gold and hold it if you have an army at your back :)

    last point, work abit on your creep spread, it helps alot.
