I have had a very starcraft 2 filled day thus far! Woke up for GSL at around 3:45 my time (It started at 5 I soon realized so I just laddered a bit), went to a quick class meeting, and have been playing ever since.

Only lost two matches so far, and both were against the race I hate with my life: the terran. I perfer heavy bio play and I seem to get eaten by those dang siege tanks D: But nonetheless, I got promoted to 16th in a platinum league! Two leagues in two weeks, I must say I'm pretty happy!

I take coaching from TrumpSC (http://www.justin.tv/trumpsc) and his coaching has helped a lot. 2 rax expanding is great for improving macro and providing early pressure to opponents. It's great to see what good macro and solid mechanics can do!

As always, plugging myself, check out my blip.tv archives at imjorman.blip.tv and my stream: justin.tv/imjorman when you get a chance!

Thanks for reading :D

Yeah : / I'm slowly trying to figure out when and how to attack into a tank link and get max effectiveness. You just can't let the tank number pile up. But then again, 2 factory pushes are hell : /

Congrats on the promotions. Could you go 1/1/1 into some early drop aggression against tank play? I think you could drop by the time they are starting to get out tanks out. IDK though I don't do terran XD

4 months ago I was in bronze and it seems I've flown up the ladder since then. It's crazy what simple macro can do. I out swarm "the swarm" and production just seems to win at this level. When does the game get more about actual strategies and not just out macroing someone?
