Well my thoughts on this season :

I started out with the mentality "im going to play alot" and i did. Just not many ranked games. I think i might have played like 800 games this season on various accounts and like 200+ ranked games on other names aswell. Also in the midst of playing P/T( all matchups) and trying to decide on what i want to play as.

Stats before i quit playing with terran were like 25-25 (2800~)
and protoss i was something around 19-8 with 3004(eZ) Im probably going to actually try mass gaming next season but im really not sure if it will get done. My goal is atleast 200 ranked games on a single account..aswell as staying stable C- and not just getting it then playing something else cause i dont want to lose it. I also want to try to play atleast 2 progamers. I only played 1 last season (T)ClouD so i definantly want to play alot more koreans also..

Though i have some questions about matchups hopefully someone better than me can answer..

TvZ: None - i (could when i was playing) beat C++ zergs fairly regularly no real questions here i knew what to do and most of the time i had the macro/micro to back it up aswell..

TvT: yeah i played like 8 games i won half. no questions.

TvP: how are you suposed to mine up before you push since it seems to me like dragoons can just push out and gay the fuck out of you and then your tanks die because vultures suck dick..

PvP : i played like 25 games and lost like 6 it was easy

PvT : is it worth it to get a speed shuttle(or two) when you dont go reavers? i usually do this just because i can drop templar faster and storm big ass globs of tanks..but i dont know if its really worth it. Also when to put down a second stargate for arbiters? and when to get 2nd gas?

PvZ : Okay this is absolute bullshit, how am i suposed to break out of huge hydralurker contains when they are being faggots with scourge and they have like 40 hydras and i have 12 zealots and 2 storms? bullshit much. Ho ware you suposed to beat ultralisks? especially since all (non korean) zergs on iccup just get like 12 lurkers then save up 4000 gas for maxing on ultras and 1 a 2 a 3a 4a 5a because they ahve horrible macro.

Overall after these questions and mostly just bitching on imbalance i hope to see some of you on playing next season on an account as soon as i can find a random badass name to use!

I just don't understand why you'd want to make another account, or reset your stats because, unless i missed something, your stats are just here to make you look "good" ? So i'm not even sure if you really played over 800 games.
I'd be more impressed if you showed stats like 200-300 even if you lost a lot of them it clearly shows that you played a lot and you got a lot of experience.

Yeah, didn't I watch you get owned by reso or some other C- rank Zerg on Tau Cross?

well most of them are in auto replay and just friendly games..id say like 50-60 of them are where faggots leave before 2 minutes though -.-..

and maybe i exaggerated on c+ zergs but i didnt beat 1 guy who got B- though so im pretty happy about that
(forIre) btw i have rep.

and no grobby that was cube that nero stomped on tau cross =[(or maybe dante did it?)

Do you have a replay maybe or a build order for it? would you make many zealots or just go straight into mass dragoons and templar? OR are you talking of your TSL build which raped alot of ppl?

Ultras need 4 gas to be stable basically.

Don't let the zerg get that point.

I always wanted to do goon/templar in PvZ but feel I lack understanding.

Nony I would really appreciate any replays with modern goon/templar build orders to copy.

Preferably something some simple showing a build when the protoss isn't harassed... like the one you posted vs the comp demonstrating fastest possible corsair.

so true..i have been using this on iccup for seasons now and it works so well since its uncommon. it literally counters anything the zerg can throw at you as long as you place your storms well.
With a gust of wind, perhaps.
