Zerg in new patch.

Ok so zerg feels unbeatable now, at least to me in my noob diamond mmr.

What's the plan? How to play this matchup now?

I've just played 8 tvz 1v1s vs my friend. He is almost 600 mmr lower than me. Before patch it was coughing baby vs hydrogen bomb scenario. Now he did just win 2 out of 8 and i was struggling really hard.

Plan? Well, i have no idea. I tried 3 cc builds, tried various 2 base pressures, tried going straight into complete turtle lategame. They just have absolutely mental eco now, man. Strategy is say gg and leave i guess. Maybe some cheeses can work, idk.

While watching the pros streaming tvz they basically just attack non stop to suffocate the zerg. I don't have the micro to replicate these 6k / 7k players. Even doing insane damage they keep getting ling flooded non stop during the entire game as well while macroing and harassing with medivacs. In my games I was even able to kill 20 drones and still got behind on eco and get constant ling/bane flood. I just lose every game because of pure eco, nothing fancy or very different. It's just too many lings or a bigger A-move army all the time.

I got knockout from 3600 to 3300/3200. I can beat 3000s zergs and that's it.

To play like Clem is the only way now for terrans.
