Improvements :

Reaction to attacks... - Any tips?


Scouting is what most of the game really comes down to--including this. Seeing when an attack is coming early will give you time to prepare for it before it shows up at your doorstep. Other than that, just having your army hotkeys set up before the engagement is important, and for a Zerg player having good creep spread can be HUGE in giving you time to morph banelings/extra units. If you need additional time, try to harass a Terran player by running lings in close enough for him to see, then backing out, forcing him to siege up (slowing hsi push and giving you time). Against a Protoss, sending 12 or so lings back to his expos can sometimes be enough to turn an entire army around (or at least make him multi-task, slowing the push or making him screw up the deathball formation so you can snipe colossi/HTs). ZvZ I don't really have tips because that has always been my worst MU.

actually bronze is the free ride, since you dont have to do anything to get it. Platinum means you worked hard enough to understand certain things about the game.

More drops + marauders TvP. Earlier ghosts.
Try 2-3 early vikings in TvZ for killing overlords. It may surprise you at how effective it is.
