Lately I've been switching between 3rax, 2rax into tanks (against 3 rax), and marine-banshee against Protoss (gateway into core). Things felt pretty good until I started playing gold leaguers every other game this afternoon.
The marine-banshee build is interesting because it involves army trading marines for stalkers/sentries in the beginning (i.e. minerals for gas) and then harassment by cloaked banshees while getting lots of infantry upgrades and trying to pick off as many big-budget toss units as possible. The challenge for me has been not losing my banshees and clinching the game before it gets to high templar or tons and tons of collosi (you also need a couple vikings to ward off the latter).
Unfortunately I didn't get to play in the Ladies' Cup tonight because I had to do something for my job. Next week, though! Hopefully I'll be in gold by then :D.
I'm so exhausted. I think I'll end this post with a video I saw posted on google buzz by this guy who goes around talking to people who have cool startups. I think this could be useful for StarCraft/eSports teams, especially if the customer support is as good as it sounds.
Shoutout to Temporal and also Kaiz for helping me with refining my play.
Edit: one more thing. Google translate beatboxing (click "listen")
Double Edit: another sign you have a great coach (who makes great build orders) ...
Kaiz: also i don't know about you, but i'm super OCD about my production facilities popping units out at the same time
Kaiz: but this times it out where even though the rax are built at two different times, at the end 3 marines will pop out together
Kaiz: that made me happy
You'll be in Gold in no time! woohoo!!!
Sad
