I'm just going to post every replay that I don't know why I lost or that I thought I played exceptionally well in.

Tvp - I macroed well this game I feel, basically ran him into the ground to the point of rage.


Losses are infinitely more useful. Wins are much harder to analyze unless they're long macro games.

Game 1:
nice touch with the banshee. it picked up a lot of kills. i am a strong advocate of random banshees in all MU's at all times, because if unattended to they can cause havoc.
~13 minutes, you lose a small marine tank group that was over extended. careful where your rally points are and make sure to keep units close to home if they aren't strong enough to hold against a small attack.
lol. random banshee kills hatch. epic win.
engage @ 15 minutes was pretty hot, but you didn't split all the way and your tank count was a bit low from earlier losses or you would've crushed him so hard. at the end your marines bunched up and the reinforcing tanks didn't siege terribly fast. little things, but they do count so be aware :P
fight at 17 was hotttt. good tank spread, good kiting with the marines through the tank fire. good use of tanks to block potential reinforcements while you killed a base with your marines.
scout ultras, start building marauders. they're pretty amazing against ultras and banes.
at 22, lost 2 medivacs to a single hydra x_x
And yes, it is amazing how lucky shitty people can get. How a guy who can lose a hatch to a single banshee gets to masters MMR is beyond me! XD

Games 2 and 3 you had solid engages. Your opponents never got to 55 workers in either game xD which explains your steamrolling both of them. Your engagements and macro has improved a lot over the past 2-3 days so gj gj on that :>

Well, I now know that I need to warm up for a game or two on my smurf before I play my main. I just lost 2 easily winnable games due to impatience and brain farts.
1.) I sniped both his infestation pit and ultra cavern while he was on hive. What's left for him to do? OH, BROOD LORDS! Let's mass tanks and marines and get raped by banelings and broods.
2.) Extremely impatient tank pushing --> army gets eaten by roaches, banelings, and zerglings.

Fuck.

ahahahah
this game is all about thinking once you reach a level where your mechanics aren't the problem
try thinking the game through, analyse the situation what you are in, and try to find a solution to persistent and future problems, try to hasten this process up, and that way u'll get better
(proper decision making, and tactics can win you the game even if you lack superior mechanics, even a long macro game)

Having trouble finding a balance between striving to be better at the game and just flat out raging. Found myself getting SERIOUSLY pissed off... sometimes you forget it's just a game, eh :[

I know I'm not the only one that does that. I also know that most people don't think of getting truly pissed off as being a problem. I disagree :) need to get better at staying calm, cuz it will improve my gameplay as well. /e and also getting pissed off just isn't healthy. more gg more skill

Random question that I didn't think deserved its own thread

where should I build my 3rd CC on daybreak? at the third or in nat

Depends on the current circumstances. You have to make the decision based on the situation. There isn't an ultimate good decision. If you feel safe, then put it on your third. If not then make it inbase.
