So I aside from my awful siege expand build, and throwing away units when I was at a disadvantage, and finally having just abysmal macro is there anything more I could've done in this game? Because aside from laughing the whole way through the game as I knew he had twice my supply once I saw him start expanding I really was lost on how to get the 'leg up'

anyways enjoy.

You know it's probably far more important that you improve those first three things you mentioned before going onto anything else.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Yeah. You're basically asking "I know my macro sucks, but how do I win a macro game??" -_-

1. Be a lot more aggressive - do vults drop to main and mine the ramp to natural.

2. Dont play python? It lets Z and P expand so much so easily and you need like 10 scans just to spot it.

From my experience at the lower ranks playing TvP and PvT, T has an advantage because of the relatively small chokes at the naturals and you can spot P expansions pretty easily with vults/mines/scans. I always have a hard time PvT on that map, anyway.

this...

I play T and i HATEEEEEE Python (besides it being really boring and overplayed at low levels) its just so hard to take a proper 3rd (the min only is gay) and P and Z can flank you so easily or just attack your main when you move out

I always thought it was kinda hard for Terran because the mid was wide wide open.

edit: rofl, progame stats suggest that Terrans did really well on Python. I guess I'll watch some games.

i know its not the best indication of balance but the pro stats shows python has a pretty significant T advantage. hence the numerous TvT progames on it.

I find the short distances between mains makes Terran pushes really strong, their "slow pushes" are pretty fast and depending on the positions they can expand while doing it.
No I'm never serious.

Yeah, 2 base 5 fac timing push into P natural is really strong, but if you fuck up the timings and forget to get your 3rd, you're pretty much boned.
So the push is pretty much your all-in.
