Help with Game Improving Resources

Hello TL members,

I have been struggling to find ways to improve my game. Now, I should mention I'm a gold level protoss, so I have a lot of room for growth in my gameplay, but the problem is I don't really know where to start. I'm aware that the most common techniques for bettering your abilities are consistent practice, looking up build orders online or from professional replays, and watching VODs/streams/tournaments.

The problem is, I do not know where to find many of these resources. TeamLiquid doesn't have a replay section for starcraft 2 and the sites I have discovered do not seem to have an up to date or large list of professional replays, but instead usually have replays from random master league level players or below.

Another problem is with my build orders. I used to use liquipedia or other sites to find build orders. However, with the new 1.3.3 patch, and because the definition of what is standard play changes over time, I feel I no longer know any current solid BOs to practice anymore and need to find out a few safe and standard BOs for each match-up. Liquidpedia has become very out of date with its strategy section, and builds from other sites like sc2builds seem to have similar problems.

So, I'm turning toward the TL community because I figure you all know where the best resources can be found and that you may be willing to share them with me. Are there any good sites that have a decent amount of current professional replays? Also, where can I find protoss build orders that are standard for the new 1.3.3 patch? I'm sure a lot of you already know at least one current standard build per matchup for protoss as well, so if you would like to list and explain one for me instead, that would be greatly appreciated as well.

Sorry about these pretty nooby questions, please don't bash my ignorance, I just need a little assistance to point me in the right direction, so thanks if you want to help me.

For sources of replays, do you have these?

SC2rep
SC2Rep.net

Regarding build orders, you can also talk to some of the pros that do livestream here. They or his fans can help out.

Try going 8 pylon 10 gate and start the zealots for early game harass. Then rush for sentries, and if you're playing PvT get colosi quick or you're dead. If PvZ don't worry you'll win pretty easy.

the patch didnt really change much for solid build orders so just pick one for each match up. then your going to wanna work on one thing at a time.

EX. next 10 games i will only worry about building probes.
next 10 games i will only worry about not getting supply blocked.

this can go on and on with the little things. and make sure your gates are always making units when they can.

i really havent found one i like for PvT

PvZ 3 gate expo into collsi

PvP you can 3 gate robo or 4 gate.
Keep on trying

Thanks for your responses so far. OmniEulogy, I will definitely take you up on your offer.

Minuteman, that is exactly the kind of replay website I was looking for, awesome

Xsolid, I recognize the builds you listed but I don't know the specfic timings (on which supply to specifically build something, when to chronoboost, etc.) and I'm sure 4gate if not the other builds you listed have been changed somewhat from their pre-patch incarnations given you would have extra time from the warp gate nerf.

Is there somewhere to find the more detailed explanation of the build orders?
