Hey all,

Haven't updated my blog in a bit and I want to do this to keep myself accountable. I haven't had a whole lot of time to play with finals and end of the semester stuff going on, but I'm starting to understand where I could better my play.

I had the disaster of being a one trick pony for the longest time. 2 rax expand into more and more rax with no ability to transition. Now I'm starting to realize that you need to be able to deviate your play to what your opponent is doing (sounds obvious, but I'm awful). So I've finally gotten away from the 2 rax expand in every single match up to using it only in TvZ. I'm using a 1-1-1 build more frequently against other races and it provides for a more exciting game and it's fun to do.

I'll throw up some replays in a bit and see what you guys think, but just posting to keep myself accountable ^^

2 rax expand is fine in tvp, in tvt however its pretty bad. The 2 rax in tvz is hugely different then the tvp one however. But the most important thing is to find a good style, a standard style, and stick to it. Watch some pro replays and pro vods before you commit to the build you are going to do.
