If you are still in bronze your main problem is likely macro. I know some people hate to hear it in every thread, but constant worker production + good unit production + getting to two bases on time + more good unit production should be able to beat anybody below platinum.
Oh yeah there's a general rule with the trinity of choices: between 1. teching 2. attacking and 3. expanding, you should usually pick 2 (and do them in the order tech->attack, tech->expand, or attack->expand)

I saw the first replay only.
The thing is: After the first trade, you'd either had to continuously rally units or expand, you shouldn't had made both. After the first trade, you didn't had enough units to deal enough damage to his army, but you had enough to defend. The first trade was excellent because you killed a lot of sentries, which is really really good, and also a few probes, which would make it even. If you continuously rallied units and attacked - while microing - you'd have a better chance to win than if you had expanded. If you just went back while maintaining map control(the threat of an attack was there), you would stay fine as well.

The advice is, in all likelihood, still relevant, though.

Fixed it for you.
Always pick expanding not attacking WTF!
The when you attack you expand again.
Fuck yeah, macro.

He meant to pick two out of the three possible to do at any time, not to pick #2 -_-.
On the other hand, the orders that he suggested is somewhat debatable. Expand can be first as well, etc.

Yeah expand can be first but you usually have to play defensive for awhile (until your expand kicks in) and tech according to scouting + possibly cut workers or pull workers to defend, which is kind of tough at gold level (if you can do it while macroing well, that's still perfect though). Taking initiative by attacking or teching first tends to circumvent that problem if you do it well.

You can attack first since you'll have a window of opportunity which was used well on the first replay, but after that first window he had to choose between expanding and defending OR attacking, both won't work ever.
Of course the macro choice here would be expanding, if you are not confident in your micro you should do that, always.

If that's any way to place where my skills should be?
I need to point out that masters league aside, being in 1st place means that your learning has been stagnant. Because you don't need to be in 1st to get promoted. I went from gold to platinum at 16th gold and silver to gold at 4th silver - took me less time from gold to platinum.
Win rates mean very little too since the system pairs you up with weaker people when you lose.
However my main problems was droning too much and not using queen inject often enough, having 3k minerals - not macroing well. Watch some Day9 if you didn't. Especially #252 if you're not from BW.
Of course you need to learn some timings too but I can't help you with that.
