my first sc2 tournament, was one i just played in the Mechanical Gaming Open

Ro32: PvP: EVOThor

Game 1: Jungle Basin (my pick due to higher ladder rank) PvP, I 2gate rush and manage to easily take the 1st win, during this game a massive surge of adrenaline goes through me and i can barely control my hands

1:0

Game 2: Xel'Naga Caverns (his pick) PvP, This game we both go for a early zealot in the opponents main to kill probes then into 4gates, my zealot gets no kills, his kills 3-4 probes, however my macro manages to kick in and i barely pull ahead and manage to win

2:0 on to Ro16

Ro16: PvZ(my worst mu, but the most fun): Autumn

Game 1: Shakuras Plateau (my pick due to higher ladder rank) 3 Gate Expand but he manages to get lings in and kills a few probes, i manage to hold in the end and get the expansion up, i dont have the econ that i normally would for halucination so i skip it and go robo to get an obs to scout. he goes mutas and manages to kill rediculous amounts of probes and my army of sentry zealot gg i lose

0:1

Game 2: Xel'Naga Caverns (my pick as i lost game 1) i decide to 4gate to hopefully score a win and if not oh well :\, the 4gate works as he doesnt scout it and has too few defences

1:1

Game 3: Metalopolis (his pick) this game is truly one of the greatest games i have ever played (at least in this MU) i go for 3warpgate void ray but he manages to hold easily with transfusion queens, at this point i really could have GG'd out of the tournament but i decided to keep going and expand, add on a robo for colossi and i hold a small army of zerglings that almost gets my natural nexus, i get a forge and start upgrades and scout with a zealot, i see that he has a 3rd up and its unprotected so i charge in to kill it while trying to get a 3rd of my own, unluckily there were lings there which blocked my probe, after i successfully kill his 3rd i pull back and expand, adding on a ton of cannons for defence
i macro up a larger army of primarily colossus and void rays and decide to push again to his 3rd which i believe him to have rebuilt at this point, he has, and he has also started a 4th, despite him having a high corruptor count my void rays destroy his corruptors and i kill his 4th and his 3rd and he GGs out

from an intense 0:1 i advance to the Ro8 2:1

Ro8: PvZ vs Masters Level Zerg player (worst mu and hes good): DracuL

Game 1: Metalopolis (his pick due to higher ladder rank) I see that we are close position so i switch up my build order to make the 2nd gate before my core and pressure him to build zerglings and spine crawlers, however at this point rather than just building a 3rd gate and expanding my adrenaline takes over and i go for a delayed 4warpgate, this was a huge mistake however as he manages to get ludicrous amounts of zerglings up my ramp and kills all my probes, at this point there is nothing left for me to do except attack his well defended front

0:1

Game 2: Shakuras Plateau (my pick as i lost game 1) i decide to go for a 3gate expand build, but he gets a few zerglings into my main, luckily i avoided any deaths, but my expansion and forge was delayed severely due to dealing with the zerglings, after my expansion is up i decide to go phoenix, for the 1st time since the last patch since i feel that he might go mutas (last time i guessed i guessed wrong and lost to mutas) his zerglings had kept me from getting halucination like game 1 vs Autumn, i underestimate the speed at which phoenix are made now so i end up with way more than i needed (after the game he even commented that he was flipping out ingame due to the sheer number of phoenixes that he saw) while picking off overlords and drones I move to take my 3rd but that is delayed more than i would have liked by my transition into Void Ray + Colossus, He attacks with a large Hydra Roach Corruptor army before i get into a good position with my army and rolls me from there GG

out of the tournament in the Ro8 0:2

For my first tournament in SC2 i am content however i still wish to become far better than i am now and in the future win tournaments from there i watched the Ro4 games where DracuL was eliminated 0:2(sadly i was rooting for him as i wanted to see the person who beat me win it all )

also, does anyone know how to upload replays so i can add the replays of each match?

My first tournament, i was 2900 on diamond ladder and the second best that showed up at the tournament had 2200~ i suck at playing when people are watching and i got a bit cocky too for that matter, not playing properly and trying stupid shit! i lost my first game (bo1) to a platinum who proxy gated me and the second game to a Zergling all in on blistering sands ...

seems like you need to block your ramp with 1st gateway/core and a zeal. ling run bys seem like a reoccuring trend
