TvT:

holy shit... this is my most unstable match up EVER. What i'm trying to do as of now is to find a solid 1 Fac CC build, and adjust it to my scouting so that i won't die to silly 2 fac pushes, or port wraith or dual port wraith or silly stuff like that. If i manage to get past first 10mins w/o taking much damadge i'm in a good spot. As of now my primary goal is to be able to read opponent correctly and react appropriately.

I also find this is the hardest match up to come up from after getting a disavantage, anyone else think this?

Hmm my level for this match up is very unclear as of now, i'd say maybe it goes low as C-, and high as to C+ depending on the situation.

TvP:

Somewhat stable match up I know a variety of builds and can execute them fairly well i believe others may think otherwise. I lose to a lot of cheese such as DT Rush/Bulldogs... Other wise i can do pretty well between my choice of timing push or camping. I feel like i need more practice on camping.. (OMG SHOCKER!).. no really i suck at camping, i build turrets everywhere and still see arbiters in my base recalling shit.

TvZ:

I'm fairly happy of this match up, i can give good zergs a real run for their money but of course again, i die to retarded stuff such as all-in lings and all other dirty things zerg players can think of. But usually once i get to a higher level such cheeses decline by a lot.

I'm also a proud Bio user, i try using mech and fail miserably. I just don't know when how to keep a good unit composition between gols/vults/tank when i go mech... :\ It was never my thing. However some of my friends find Mech SO much easier...

I also need to stop being a pussy and just keep playing instead of hitting a new rank and too afraid to play and lose it. Thats something i still need to work on. I believe if i fix my bad mindset of fearing and losing my new shiney rank to better players, it can help my real life in a better way too.

I'm hoping for B this season, im not sure my chances of getting it cuz of school work :\

Good luck with B!

I'll play more practice matches TvT with you if you want. Some decent games the other night. My TvT is a good rank or two lower than my average iccup rank due to such little practice/knowledge of the matchup.

edit : yeah i am pretty great arent I :D

I think its actually sometimes easier to come back in TvT depending on how much of your army you lose. I mean you can still turtle atleast 30-40 suplpy down with tanks and turrets and catch back up. But sometimes they can fuck you with some big push rape your main army then a fact drop, i die to that alot. But i dont really play like any TvT at all since everyone calls me a fag or switches to toss T_T.

And ill play some TvT's with if you want to broskii, if you got msn send me a pm and ill add you and you can message me.

Ypang, your mechanics, play, and thoughts described in the OP are like the exact same as mine. I'm C- Terran this season, but I'm going to C in season 10. I know you're higher than that, but care to TvT with me? Mine needs some practice and I'm also trying to find a stable 1fact CC build.

Add me on iCCup(Grobyc)!

thats where your wrong. knowing every strategy gives you limitless potential to the ways you can exploit your opponent. dont be so narrow-minded or you will never advance.

I'm aiming for C

I think if I just learn to flank better and getting all my units attacking at once with Zerg I can do it, but late game ZvP with so many Zerglings it's easier said than done :p

The only two goals you should have are:

  • Stop using from then one smurf account. I realize you have an account you play on when your parents are home and that you use it in case you need to leave quickly, so you don't ruin your 'good' account. You don't need ten or fifteen different accounts.
  • Don't reset or come on MSN telling me you're going to switch to Protoss and that you're serious this time, then play Terran exclusively two days later.


That is all.

You live in St. Louis, I live in Kansas City. Wanna meet in Columbia? It's about a 1.5 hour drive for me, 2 hours for you, pretty good meeting point.
