As the title say, having trouble with zerg. Playing Platinum around rank 50.

They always fast expo at the begining and whatever I do, I cannot beat them. I usually go 2 rax and Factory at start. I try to attack early but they still kick my butt. Once I have a decent army to kill them I'm surrounded because they can build alot faster than I can with their higher economy.

Any tips?

Im by no means a pro but the way i usually try to beat a zerg player is by attacking them super early and make them over commit on units early that way they are making less drones. basically i lose the early game to win the late game resource race.

I first build 1 barracks, 2 refineries. 1 bunker by my geyser closest to the entrance to my base. (always keep scv's building) create 2 marines, put them in bunker... then add a reactor( the one that creates 2 units at once). build another barracks, load up the bunker.. by that time they will probably rush to your scv's, but you have a bunker there so grab a few scv'd and repair you bunker while they attack.. you might lost a few scv's but hey, you beat the rush... and by that time you should have 2 barracks with reactors, each pumping out marines.. and a factory on the way... if they attack again you should be able to easily defend... then counter imediatly. i am only 5-0 with
1v1, but 4 of my enemies were zerg, and all tried to rush me. works everytime

Key points... at least one bunker by you scv's early. then after 2 attacks, counter attack. always keep 1 scv building, dont queue up multiple scv's you are wasting money that could be spent if you do that
