Greetings fellow TL.net blog readers! My name is Psyballa and I'm looking to improve in the Game of Starcraft that we all (assumedly) Love. Last time I brought you a fair amount of games (7) all taken from my desktop computer back home. Alas, I was originally planning on continuing from those replays in chronological order but guess what, I had to move! I Actually attend college somewhere in California and had to move back after the holidays had ended. But not to fear, I am still Keeping track of my games!

Below is a pack of (individual) games, starting from when I First moved back. I experienced some cheese, some BM, and learned a few things. Such as, when you see 5 roaches on your base, don't lower your supply depot.

I've been winning more often than losing in the past week or so, which is Always a good sign in my opinion, without any further ado I present the replays:


(T) Jolokia vs (T) Psyballa - Steppes of War: BC Rush Fail
+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]Jolokia <0 - 1> [image loading]Psyballa

I open with 2 barracks and a factory, then push out with MM + Siege Tank. He turtles up and rushes BCs. Thankfully I massed vikings out of habit and took out his BCs fairly easily.

(T) Psyballa vs (Z) Duderanch - Jungle Basin: I Put That Factory There For a Reason!
+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]Psyballa <0 - 1> [image loading]Duderanch

I hesitated a little bit with this one. I wanted to go 1-1-1, but my friend told me 1-1-1 TvZ was worthless anymore and said to go 2 Barracks. So I did that, then accidentally trapped my marines outside of my base while mass slings rushed me. Ouch.

(T) Psyballa vs (T) Wesinator - Scrap Station: Standard > Thor Rush?
+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]Psyballa <1 - 0> [image loading]Wesinator

2 Rax vs 2 Fact. Opponent tries to rush a Thor but early pressure prevents him from massing them up. I take out the Thor pretty easily ironically, with MM.

(P) Psyballa vs (P) sinister - Blistering Sands: Expanding is Truly Outrageous
+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]Psyballa <0 - 1> [image loading]sinister

Here is the beginning of a little phase where I heard that 4Gate PvP wins every time. Obviously I'm wrong, as he outmacros my stuff and early pressure fails.

(P) Psyballa vs (P) STrandomguy - Lost Temple: So That's Where I Put My Probe
+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]Psyballa <0 - 1> [image loading]STRandomguy

Again, I go 4 Gate against 2 Gate Core. Obviously there's something wrong with 4 Gate against this. I try to contain him with a few Photon Cannons but it fails.

(T) Psyballa vs (P) ScottyJamoka - Steppes of War: Need More Pyrons
+ Show Spoiler +

[image loading]Psyballa <1 - 0> [image loading]ScottyJamoka

Little bit of friendly banter to open this game with. 3Rax vs 4Gate. He really does build way too many pylons for his food. I get supply blocked a couple times. I notice that I don't have scv's mining as soon as the expansion is up. Need to work on that.



Well folks that's the replay pack for today! I'll be making another blog sometime down the road with the next matches I played. I feel like I'm getting better, I honestly do! For those of you who would seem to care, it seems like my record for this post is:


3W - 3L


So starting from this point on I am literally at a 50% win rate. Woot! See you next time fellow TL'ers.

I'm bad.
