(Fell to Gold)

I just don't get it, I guess. I try so hard and yet I am forced to gg early. Its like no matter what I do, I'm just going to get outplayed. Its really frustrating as it is, like when you lose a really long Chess game... except that in Starcraft, your opponent slaps you in the face with snide comments about how much you suck after you knock over your King and reach out to shake his hand with a 'gg'.

I'm told that my micro is fine, but that my macro could use some more work. This game is really hard =(

Anyway here's a few reps:

http://replayfu.com/download/GpfvZk
http://replayfu.com/download/0x03gq

The first two games didn't go well at all.

The third one, though, was where I lasted a little bit longer, but I ended up losing still.

I've just switched over to Protoss from Zerg from Terran from Protoss in Brood War, in case anyone was wondering.

edit - I'll elaborate a bit more, I guess.

In the first game, I thought I could go for the typical 4gate because I've always been reassured by my friends that 4gates can get you striaght to Diamond. Unfortunately, he Roach rushed me and so I was caught out of position with my army. I want to blame rotten luck, but I feel like even if I hadn't been caught out of position, he still would have killed me. I guess its a macro problem?

For the second game, I thought about doing that Void Ray rush that was so notorious in the β. I also heard from my friends that Void Ray rushing can get me into Diamond... but unfortunately I couldn't pull it off here. I made a great effort to hide my tech and he didn't even see it coming! Somehow he must've gotten his Mutalisks out fast enough, I guess. It was just so frustrating to see that he was prepared. Maybe I shouldn't have waited for the second Void Ray to come out...

Anyway, the third game was the one that lasted the longest. I was up against a Terran, so I thought that Stalkers first were the way to go. Boy, was that stupid. I ended up losing a lot of Probes to early Reaper harrass (people still do that shit? Apparently so, because I suck enough to let them pull it off). I guess I was just behind the whole game. You might as well just watch this one, because I get tears swelling up as I try to thinnk about it =(((


Also I'd like to mention that these games happened back to back, one right after the other.
