This season was the first season in forever(ages ago when i first hit C-) that i actually decided to mass game, and it actually paid off. Starting the season as Protoss(lol ew) i played 151~ or so games and got to c- over and over and lost most of my games there and won a few. Boy was i proud, until i realised. Terrans at C- are fucking impossible so i should go back to Terran and quit being a traitorous piece of garbage. so i did.


I immediatly cleared stats spent 2 days getting to C-(school is so stupid T_T) Then finally managed to do it. Then i realised Wow i know what to do as terran to gay toss and zerg should be an easy win anyway.

So now i present to you the stats i hit C with(have to add overall since i joined a new clan mid season and transfered)

T v T : 6-4 overall.
Questions : Okay im so bad at TvT i get by with 2fact and praying for the best every game T_T but i dont know when to start geting dropships or anything like that can anyone help me with this?

T v Z : 20-8 Overall.
My biggest concern here is how to stop counters? They kill me in all my games and it causes me to rage quite hard T_T.
Also how should i use drops most effectively? should i go for evo first or what..(yes i know the thread but idk).

T v P : 11-10 overall.
Yeah once i watched some flash reps this is pretty easy now, biggest problem is mostly carriers but i know i cans top them with proper scouting and what you so it doesnt really bother me. Also while im thinking of it, i have trouble when adding facts? should i add up to 4 facts before i take my 3rd?(desti/hbr here) or should i go with 2? And ive been starting vultures after 5 tanks and then making 8 tanks and pushing ot to take my 3rd(off 2 facts) at around 80 supply is this what i should be doing or adding factorys instead?

And lastly my account link :
http://www.iccup.com/gamingprofile/mG.arb.html

Hopefully by next season i can go for C+ and complete my next big starcraft goal!

Thanks for reading

Laddering is fun If logged more 1v1s since tsl2 than I have in probally a year or more. 2v2 ruins my bw experience.

Scout in other direction when you move out. On HBR I've resorted to spider mines.

TvP:
You play Flash build with the academy at around the same time as armory right? Scan gateways. Many gateways = 4fact. Not many = 2fact

I don't actually have a build up to 44. Just check out relative timings for it in the mass pro replay pack. Tons of Flash games in there. If not, look at the VODs and cross the academy timing with the armory timing. Usually I add armory after I have enough for constant tank production and a 2nd factory started. Academy then follows the armory.

Ya 6-7 is usually a push break so you need 4 factories.

When tvzing, move your army one way (towards their third/fourth) and double drop the main. Most zergs will leave a group of lings/sunk in their main for drops, so 2 drops and target the spire, defiler mound and evos in that order

You just described my standard PvT. Except you forgot 10/15 and Longinus.

10/15 is weak. Gas steal into 4 gate goons at hbr. I haven't lost a single match when I successfully gas stealed (I'm d+/c- and I could even beat C terrans with this malicious BO! courtesy of Backho vs Skyhigh)

Well I'm C+ and I have beaten B terrans (mosty in clan wars) with 10/15 into many of its abusive follow ups. Arbiters too of course.. of course..
