Hello to all TL surfers, posters, translators, mods, lurkers and trolls!

I got to study for my supplementary exams this coming Wednesday, which kinda threw in a wrench in my plans to ladder. I am really glad though, instead of outright failing my Software Technology and Engineering Maths 120, i get to sit for a supplementary exams.
In fact, Software Technology was my best unit, and I just cant imagine failing it, though, truth be told, I only studied a little for it. 2nd chance boys, gotta make it this time.

Today, while studying, i couldnt take it no more. I really got the urge to go and play some BW. And go play some BW I did. I only played 2 games today, but I felt rather happy despite losing a game though.

I love micro-ing lurkers vs marines although i freaking hate lurker drops. And my 1st ladder game of just 2 hours ago had those

Replay:

http://repdepot.net/download.php?type=rep&id=42737&name=Holey vs ISL2)BlackCAT.rep

I feel like a show off though, but this is one reason why I love playing BW; my marine micro at like 7.00 mins or so in front of the Zerg's nat. I was like, fuck yeah, I'm ahead alright and proceeds to go and push to his nat with 2 tanks, with 1 more tank and a vessel incoming. Then, I scanned, saw 1 fast overlord going flying to my nat and I'm like, yeah, channeling Flash game-sense! So no prob, just order marines in natural to kill it off. Macro slipped while microing marines....I really am amazed at progamers, being able to macro and micro at same time during events like this.

Then, a simultaneous drop into my main from the backside...Argh~crap, 10 lurkers...
My army is midway to his base, so I decided to go ahead and push and use the units in my base to defend. Somehow, my multitask and macro failed in this game. Even my hand speed seem to go down a little, probably due to only playing SC after a few days no playing. I handled my push and the drop really-really badly and lost a game which I could have won over an opponent which I feel is inferior to me....Though props to him for a nice strat.

Oops, forgotten to press ENTER. I typed gg, but forgot to press ENTER and left the game. Now my opp will think I'm a jerk and a BM noob mothafucka

On to next game! I wont explain this game coz, well, I dont think many people would read in detail on blogs like this. Basically I won this TvP. I kinda was messed up in the beginning, havent thought up of which strat to use, rax FE or 2fact Joyo till the timing I put down my supply depot under my CC. Rats, gotta do 2fact Joyo then. However, I scouted and saw him do a 12nex and switch up my strat to a siege expo with no wall. Rest of the game, you guys watch if you want

Replay:
http://repdepot.net/download.php?type=rep&id=42738&name=resemble2010 vs ISL2)BlackCAT.rep

I felt I played rather sloppy in the TvP, macro slipped at lot at one timing where I'm suppose to add factories after 3rd CC building. The P kinda just threw units at me though, haha.

If you watched those replays, could you guys pretty please RATE my SKILL level?
Like D- or D+ or a C- level. Please tell me what level you think my skill is at.

감사합니다 and TL, Nada, Flash 화이팅!

Hello fellow countrymen :D

I watched your 1st game. If I were you, after scanning his main, I see no spire; I would have predict he will go for a drop or a ninja 3rd. I'd place some maries at highly possible ninja base. If there isnt any 3rd, I'd prepare for overdrops..cos seeing him doing ntg much on 2 bases with no spire/queen.

well, im a D+ player. You can ignore me.. lol.. Just my opinion. >< I like how your marines killed those 4 early lurkers. lol. :D

Hmm, I see...Thanks for feeback man! Owh, btw, what do you think my skill level is based on that rep?
To be honest, I wasnt expecting the player to do any drops, I scanned and saw no spire or queen nest, so I thought he was a noob thus I just proceeded the game like normal

At the 13 minute mark of a PvT you can expect a decent Protoss player to be maxed and have 2 arbiters with about 3 stasis between them. A Terran's supply should be getting around the mid hundreds at that point. Your supply can be excusably a bit lower since your opponent was cutting Probes, therefore you could lean towards playing a bit more defensively (I didn't really watch the replay very close so I don't know how much of that you scouted. Obviously if you didn't take that into account, your supply should have been in the mid hundreds if you macro properly). Your supply was in the 90s, and you didn't do very much harassment during the game. You should work on your macro management and harassment patterns. This can be done by studying professional players.

I would also advice to stay away from maps like Fighting Spirit, and to play maps that are currently in the professional level map pool. This is because the game is constantly evolving and some strategies being used currently by professionals aren't as good on older maps.
