First person view of a game I played agianst a 1500+ rated diamond protoss. One of the rare times when I was on top of my macro, but it was still a pretty challenging game. Played back in 2x speed (don't like to split videos to upload).
For people learning zerg, here are three important tips:
1) MACRO HARD. Spawn larvae with queens, avoid getting supply blocked, build ample drones, and expand whenever you can. Master these mechanics and you're probably plat/diamond level already.
2) SCOUT FREQUENTLY. Scouting provides you with information about your opponent's tech, the number of units he has, etc, allowing you to respond to him appropriately with the right number and composition of units.
3) HARASS A LOT. Zerg thrives on keeping their opponents turtled, while expanding across the map. Poke them with units (e.g. zerglings or mutalisks) a lot to keep them in their base, or give them the impression that you can overrun them at anytime. Then MACRO HARD so you do overrun them!
In retrospect 2x speed might have been too fast to see what was going on. Oh well, I'll upload a shorter and slower video next time.
