EPT
After a lot of you recommended to stop playing 4 Warpgate Rush and learn a different/more standard build order, I decided to learn the way day[9] recommended in his last two episodes of Newbie Tuesday (#285, #289). This goes along well with CecilSunkure's way of "How to Improve Efficiently at SC2".
In the end I decided to go for the build CecilSunkure recommends to any new Protoss player: PvT 2 Gate Fast Obs FE.
What did I do so far?
Step 1: I watched the replay that is posted in the above mentioned [G].
Step 2: I identified Building Groups and played 3 games against the AI.
Step 3: I noted down Unit mixes and played 5 games against the AI.
Step 4: (That's where I'm currently at!) I noted down some benchmarks and started playing some more games against the AI and compared. (Actually I'm at 1 game so far, as my flatmate and I started to play some coop games.
)So next up is:
1) I will play 5 games and refine the build order I copied.
2) I will play this build order in ladder games.
3) I keep refining during ladder games.
CecilSunkure strongly recommended to have a fixed goal, so I made up my mind. I'm currently a Silver league player, so my goal will be as follows:
I want to be promoted to Gold league AND I want to win 25 games on the way to get the Stalker portrait (sorry, I love getting new portraits
), AND I want to play all the games using a stolen build order (see above), WHICH I learn using day[9]'s method!That's my goal and I know it will take a long time to reach Gold league. But I will have learned the build order by heart and maybe I get a second build order done until then. :D
