Well I consider myself to be a fairly good player.
Yet aLoN has beaten me in every single game without even breaking a sweat.

I think the answer for Saps vs Swarmers Spam is to build lots of Marines, with Heli's (or Marauders) just as backup. aLoN is owning me with this tactic in a game at the moment!

The Swarmers have to fire at the Marines (or get killed when two step forward and gang up). But Marines are not worth much and are easy to replace. So the Heli's can attack when needed to kill a Swarmer, then retreat behind the Marines to repair and not get worn down and killed. Seems to work so far... (and is obvious in retrospect). There's a couple tricks to it but that's about it.

I invited you to a couple of games to test it ADHDeveloper...

If I'm ever swarmed I simply kick it starcraft and overload on marines.

Something I try once in a while is to block with tanks(more defense and healing than choppers), and building battery units.
