[P][Slag Pits][Loss] Begs - 21 Speedling Expand, didn't scout enough, denied third for a bit, didn't have good map control midgame. he pushed out with colossus / immortal / gateway units and killed me. Poor control on my burrows. Didn't have enough units out.
[P][Metalopolis][Loss] Epic - 21 Speedling Expand, I didn't scout AT ALL. He forge expanded, I should've droned really hard and maybe taken a quick third. Ling / Infestor, my control is really bad, and he massed a huge ball of collossus. I should've made at least some corruptors. He also went DT and as soon as that was a possibily I should've dropped 1spore/1spine at each base.
I also need to keep track of the minimap better, and my drone count.
[P][Xel'Naga Caverns][Win] Kaptn - 21 Speedling Expand. I scouted a few times, but didn't gain much info from it other than he didn't have a robo or stargate in his main pretty far into the game. I feel really good about this game. I denied his expo for a while using only a few lings, sniped a sentry, got mine up and droned. I even implemented a neat trick I thought up of having an overlord goop creep on someones third, then having a queen run over there (queens. run. lol.) and plant a creep tumor. He NEVER got his third up, and everytime he tried there was no way in hell I was going to not know about it. I went mass ling / infestor again, and it worked great, but he didn't have any colossus. I let him sit on two bases while I went up to 5, massed up a 200/200 infestor/ling/ultra (all 3/3) and just stormed in. I could've scouted a bit better. By 8 minutes I had a huge advantage due to my 6lin harass. 32[2] to 18[1]. I probably should've pumped out a round of lings at that point so I could deny his nat even longer (upon watching replay, I could've easily done that.) I could've abused the 'tasteless' hallway. I ended up with 78 drones with good saturation.
[Z][Shakuras Plateau][Loss] TankNasty - 15 Hatch. I scouted him fairly well with my early drone, didn't see alot of units so I began droning up, but he made a cycle of speedlings and just came in and destroyed me. I should've either dropped a spine crawler, or had my queens wall the ramp off. Or roach warren sooner. My overlord positioning was fairly poor as well.
[Z][Slag Pits][Win] daemon - 15 Hatch. Scouting was fairly well early game. I didn't know his spire was coming, but I did see him teching to lair. I need to be a bit faster about getting my infestors out, as his first push with mutas did a fair amount of damage. I denied his 3rd and 4th fairly well, and had good map control with my infestors. Was able to take out his muta balls fairly easily. I need better control of my infestors though.

Overall thoughts for the day. I really like ling/infestor. My ultimate goal ends up being Ultralisks, but I think depending on the matchup broodlords might be a better idea. I need to scout alot better, and my infestor control needs some work. Also, I need to just tighten my build so stuff gets out faster.
Calling it an early night since I want to wake up and watch GSL in the morning, and have to work the rest of the day. I'll try to squeeze in 5 games tomorrow evening.
