Since I completed my Placement Matches which I ended up going 4/5 and placed in gold, I seem to be doing ok but since I lack much experience I need to get advice from others on how to improve and to well, touch base.

http://www.mediafire.com/?zddtmyv42t1 <--- Kulus Ravine
http://www.mediafire.com/?wydnmnnleyw <--- Meta
http://www.mediafire.com/?0g2z04gn13g <---- Steppes (Won this one)
Here are the two games I played recently that, well, left me wondering what I could do better.
I watched the first Replay myself again to write down what I think I did wrong and some of the second one on Metalopolis.

PvT (First Game)
* Did a horrible wall at my choke point
* Wasn't warping in more units to help defend when the time came.
* Didn't get Void rays for possible better defense.
* Didn't get more stalkers/sentrys to help against vikings to protect those few Colossi that I had (Sadly forgot to research Thermal)
* Not watching out for those freaking ghost's EMP's
* Could of possibly used immortals to help protect but with ghost I doubt that would of been very effective.


Second Game the PvP game I just got done playing.
PvP Meta
* Used Voids when he had enough stalkers to destroy them easily.
* Let him wall in preventing harassment.
* Didn't wall outside his base preventing him from expanding.
* Didn't accumulate enough units to prevent myself from losing.

The one I recently added PvZ
* I let him get high yield fairly easy and did little scouting.
* Should of used more immortals vs Roachs
* Let them nydus worm too much into my main(rofl) The first one caught me off guard but after then they kept trying but couldn't get it to work.
* Didn't Harass.

Any advice would be awesome.


Why be the best when you can die like the rest.

Anyone? I added one where I just won and didn't think I could won when I saw the nydus worm go into my base. Would really love advice so I can develop better as a player.

Try and get your sim-city to cover all corners of your base, instead of having all the pylons in one spot, have additional pylons put around the base to scout for incoming overlords or a potential nydus.

Don't forget to make sure all your production buildings are covered by several pylons so they don't power down if a pylon gets sniped.

======================================

Also try and get an observer up, after CyberCore finishes, get a Robo and build one observer and scout his base, then react accordingly.

From the looks of it, you need to scout more.

Yeah, I did that in some of my games ploping out a observ but still due to my in-experience Im not 100% sure how to counter or react to most things I see, more so verse Terran that do M&M with a ghost to blast me with EMP. With the zerg match I was caught off guard with the worm but then I started to catch onto the game and kept a pylon nearby to stop them from doing that again.

EMP is annoying, you also need to have several colossus against the MM ball otherwise it would be hard to break it with EMP thrown in
