Hi. Over the past week, I have left the protoss homeworld and rejoined my brothers in arms with the terran race yet again. Here's one of my highlight games for the week even though I think my opponent was pretty bad.
+ Show Spoiler +

It starts out with me at 2 and him at 9. I do a standard build with wall-in. He gets his scouting probe to my ramp but instead, chills at the bottom of it. I get my SCV to try and chase it away incase it harasses the SCV on the rax. He gets stuck
[image loading]


But he soon realises this and clicks on his own minerals to run out of the trap he placed himself in. He apparently doesn't keep his probe in my base and just gets it back into his own.

My scouting SCV arrives at his ramp and this is what I see.
[image loading]


This triggered some suspicion in me and I thought he would be up to something real sneaky considering that he blocked with 2 probes and even built a zealot. Either a fast reaver or DT.

But instead..

He was going for a standard game.

The trickery apparently forced me to get my ebay up real early and to spend on some turrets.

He gets a fast third base.
[image loading]


I leaped-froged my tanks to chase away his units outside my nat in preparation for my mid-game push.

When the time came(I know I missed the window by a fair bit), I moved out with a nice standard force.
[image loading]


He didn't appear to have many goons and I immeidately assumed he got a third base fast. This convinced me that this was the push that would win me the game.

Earlier on, I had speed vults plant mines in the retreat path of his army and managed to catch a few goons dead.
[image loading]


I slowly crept onto his nat with my tanks and vults protecting the tanks.
[image loading]


He gets a ninja group of goons to try and counter my natural. With good fortune, I had built a turret in that path earlier on for my third base and I manage to spot it in time.
[image loading]


I had 2 tanks and 3 vults built at my nat and I sieged my tanks and used the vults to plant the mines.
[image loading]


He didn't have an OBS at my nat so he had trouble with the mines and tanks. He decided to push in anyway and....

+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]

Tada!


He gets a few DTs to try and counter my army at his nat but I had scans anyway.
[image loading]


Within seconds, he condedes.
[image loading]


To sum this all up, I still really like terran and I am most likely to stick with it now. Playing protoss for a brief period has increased my skill in playing terran and I had no trouble in getting to D+ even though I faced protoss for the majority of the journey.

Thanks for reading.

sorry, but that was a little boring lol. I was expecting a little more suspense and stuff.

he pulled 2 probes to block with ramp with a zeal? even with a fast third, his macro looked pretty bad as well o.o

I agree that playing other races and switching back improves your skill a lot though. I was like a D toss last year then I switched to terran, get C-, and now I'm C-/C toss as well.

Like I said, I'm only D+ so don't expect really high leveled games form me
