Current Rank: C- [3022] 46 - 59

Most used map: (4)Python 44-54

Games played:: 105 (44% win ratio)

I've gone 11-7 since my last blog addition and I've achieved a new rank: C-. Finally, my win ratio is starting to rise (+2%). I can feel it in the air like Phill fuckin Collins.

My TvP is still lagging behind. I've encountered a lot of Fast Expoing Protoss today which has really pushed my throttle when it comes to executing my builds. I am still not totally conscious of the timings required to engage Protoss armies but I am still able to put on loads of pressure which can get me comfortably out of early game and into a decent mid game. My macro seems to be off (adding extra factories and SCV production).

Win/Loss TvP:
24-41 (36%)

My TvZ has stayed the same more or less. I've received most of my wins today vs. Zerg (I believe). The Zerg I have been playing get run over pretty easily with my sunken pushes. I seem to have the timing down perfect when it comes to 2 rax'ing vs mutalisk and decent timing vs lurk/hydra builds.

Win/Loss TvZ:
21-18 (52%)

NOTE: I plan to start uploading replays as I start approaching C. If you feel so inclined to watch my progress you can always meet up with me on The Abyss channel op irc.

nice, gl with getting C, it's a fucking bitch since when you lose now you get deducted 75 points for each loss.

what about TvT? you just avoid it or something?

I thought this was going to be an iccup rage blog because of the title, but good that you've achieved a goal

Ye, stop playing pythong for gods sake :D! It's a good map and all, but really, it gets tirering. Well, at least you're not playing lt .

yes :D

I just think this match up is just way too cut and dry. Very simple yet, if I want to improve my game, I'd rather vs Protoss (as there are so many of them)

I dont believe so. Perhaps I can better put myself into another Terran's shoes than a Protoss or Zerg.

I think if i played TvT then I'd end up with the same rank just more wins and losses.

Make an alt account and play PvT and ZvT only. It helps a lot, especially if you read up on current strats/use ones you've seen used against you. I had a T and Z account when I was laddering to C- and got them both to D+ just playing vs. P, and it gave me a lot more perspective on the difficulties, strengths, and weaknesses of the other races in the match-ups I play.

yea the biggest problem there, fanatacist, is that I am way too stubborn for that. but eventually I will end up doing just that. I probably could PvT and ZvT at the same level its just that I love my Terrans too much. lol

People that dont play TvT are missing out on the best matchup in Starcraft.

Theres nothing like drop harassing every part of your opponents base and eventually gging him withot ever fighting his army T_T

also the amazing army fights when they do happen with shitloads of explosions and shit and dropships dropping on each other omg *ORGASM*

Not a troll. Python is massively t>p. If you arent good enough to see that, its not really my problem. Pythons imbalance in favour of terran is pretty widely known...

i have to agree with what fanatacist said; playing the other race in your matchup really helps to improve your T as well.

most terran players are completely horrible at TvT though, you don't need to be good at the match up to beat them, but in terms of strategic and tactical depth TvT is way more advanced than the other terran match ups.

Haha you think that about match ups you don't play, until you play them. Shit is hard on the other side of the fence, because you're not used to it. That reveals the fundamental weaknesses in your play and in that match up (:

I played both only once, they both suck. FS a little less than Tornado because it favors my race.
