Hey all,

I'm just in the midst of a terrible losing streak as of late and I really don't know what's up. I used to hold my own in the top platinum ( I play terran) thinking that once I made some improvements I'd be on my way to diamond. However, it only seems that I have backslid and begun getting worse at this game. Here are some recent replays if any of you would like to help. I know a couple of my big issues are:
*Spending my money down, in my TvZ I like to 1 rax FE and i have a hard time keeping up with production
*TvT I need to learn when to add on more production facilities and what type. I like to go tank/viking.
*TvP I'm pretty OK with. I go Maurader, Medivac, Ghost/viking and I do pretty well with it

Here are some replays for each matchup:

vs. T: http://www.sc-replay.com/replay/10-07-11/113712-rootmusic-VS-Imjorman.html?justUp=1
vs. Z: http://www.sc-replay.com/replay/22-06-11/113718-Imjorman-VS-CMan.html?justUp=1
vs. P: http://www.sc-replay.com/replay/22-06-11/113718-Imjorman-VS-CMan.html?justUp=1

Did you take an extended break from the game? Or just a monster losing streak?

Edit: I'd be happy to practice TvZ on NA if you like. My name in-game is Lysenko and character code is 545. I'm solidly in gold league, so no clue who's stronger at this point.

I played less regularly because I started my summer job, but I wouldn't call it a break as I still play daily (just not as long of sessions). I just hit this wall and am constantly losing.

Yeah man I'd be down for that. I'm watching NASL at the moment but will hit you up after?

Here is my opinion, take it or leave it.

vs T

You are playing Marine/Tank, the other guy is playing basically marauders. His strategy is to punch through your seige lines and kill off expansions. Your strategy should be to set up impenetrable seige positions and slowing creep forwards and re-inforce. You should be aware of the map and set up your tanks so that they cover every route by ground to your side of the map. You need to keep your marines with your tanks and micro them forwards and bait his units into range of your seiged up tanks.

vs P

Your second scout you see a lot of stalkers which IMO should set alarm bells ringing. You make 2 banshees, a helion, a few marine and marauders and a raven and expand. It's a terrible army composition. If you made a simple army of marines, marauders and medivacs you would not die to that attack. You could also have seen it coming by controling the watch tower.

vs Z

I don't know exactly when I'll be on (but I'm on enough) or how we compare in skill, I'm mid plat but I'm not fond of 1v1. I know you said you're okay with protoss, but if you want a protoss practice partner, I'm Darclite.257 on NA.
They're fools. You should eat them.
