EPTSo, I know that right off the bat you're asking yourself:
"wtf is dis, a blog about kabobs, i mean wtf"
Well, this is NOT a blog about kabobs. I just had to chose a goddamn name for it, and Bob's Kabob sounded cool. And i love Kabobs.
So, now that we know this, let's see what this blog will be about. This blog is just here to basically force me to analyse my replays, instead of just shouting at myself "YOURE FUCKING TERRIBLE, STUPID NEWB" and then proceed to hit myself with a crowbar. And then launch another game, get raped doing the sames mistakes over and over again.
But this blog will not be only about a stupid platinum newb getting pwnd on ladder, it will also talk about all sorts of random things that you probably dont care about, but it will probably be more entertaining than : "oh look at 15:03 i just amoved my entire army into 42 sieged tanks".
Ok, now, just to set the contexts, I am a crappy platinum Terran ("omg lol ure terran and not even 3k diamond lol"), i played zerg for a LONG time (~400 ladder games), i switched to terran cause i was bored with zerg gameplay. I got chain raped, and now i feel im slowing crawling my way back up.
Im on the EU server (Bob.1615), Im feeling quite strong at TvP, my TvZ is okayish, and i plain suck at TvT. Also I am fully aware that if i loose it is because im a fucking retard, and not because "omglol Zerg is op", hence this blog. And my english sucks, because i'm french and french school system is retarded so its impossible to even learn english.
I think, the introduction is done, so let us jump into the first facepalm inducing game featuring myself and Log, a terran gold player. Here it is, so you can watch it too feel stronger about yourself:

Ok so, here we go with the pro high level analysis:
+ Show Spoiler +
Up to 5 minutes i feel my opening is ok. I maybe could improve it by taking gas earlier, in order to lay down a factory instead of the second barracks.
In fact, at 5:30 it seems i'm going "oh shit i forgot gas" and im laying down two at once.
5:40, i have nearly 500 minerals, have two rax not producing anything, im not producing scvs and my second CC is not floating to the nat, or morphing to OC. God i suck.
6:15, my macro still sucks, god its annoying... At last the second OC has started.
8:30, idle SCVs all over the place, i'm gonna stop writing when my macro sucks, otherwise this blog is going to be 3 pages long.
9:30, i think i handled the Hellion harass pretty well.
12:50, i did not scout the techlab starport, but i had excess minerals, i should have placed turrets preventively. the banshee harass was pretty hurtful, but i'm still ahead in food and worker count.
14:30, the push didnt work quite well. I think i sieged up too late.
17:10, I have vikings he doesnt, so its going quite well.
19:00, Runbys and drops, here is when i start to crumble, and hate TvT, i definitely should have left units back to defend, and it also would have allowed me to clean up destruclible rocks to take and easier to defend expansion.
21:00, Classic tank vking stalemate.
23:15, Boredom makes me do stupid things... Amove into sieged tanks ftw.
24:xx, I start to go panicmode thinking im behind because of the marauders killing my base, but now, watching at the replays, it seems it was pretty even.
27:xx, downwards spiral because of panicmode, i should have played calmely, defensively and re macroed up. Instead of pushing with no whatsoever reason.
28:55, HERO SCV \o/
31:05, WHY DO I TRY TO ADVANCE MY TANKS GODDAMIT.
31:50, my tank placement is stupid, i lose the gold, gg.

Now, looking at the replay, it was pretty damn close, and if i didnt panic and try to attack with no units after my push failed, it really could have been different. I made an armory, but didnt get any upgrades.
So, if i'm correct:
Things to improve :
- Macro. If i had more stuff, my first push would have raped him.
- Patience, Calm, It really seems that if i had been more patient and calm, i would have done less stupid things. I must stop to go crazy, when something doesnt completely work, and think that i am ages behind.
- Find another way to play TvT, because I FUCKING HATE TANK/VIKING GODDAMIT.
- Try to be more sneaky, with drops, harrass instead of banging my head on his frontdoor.
Things that were good :
-errr... Hellion harrass defense.
Wow, I didnt thought i'd write that much. Hope that my analysis is not completely flawed. If it is, feel free to bash me
Thanks for reading if you didnt die of boredom halfway through, and Merry Holidays, im leaving you with a music video of stuff I listen while gaming
