Sigh... So my long break from the world of Star Craft 2 has seemed to have adverse affects. I mean I know my PvP was rather shit to begin with, and I know I just need to practice on that, but even my PvZ is now showing so hurt.

For those who don't know I'm a diamond leaguer protoss. I know I should probably just grind out a bunch of ladder games to get back into the groove but I played 2 games rather shitty against top Plats. So first one on Shattered Temple, I did a DT opener, and then expo'd. The DTs killed his lair, but he had time to get an observer. He was on 2 base. He countered and I held. All he made was roaches, non stop roaches... I think I killed like 20 drones with a single DT that I kept harrassing with, but I still lost. I know its probably due to the fact that I stop building sentries, and that I didn't switch to immortals. Stupid mistakes right? Then the second PvZ was even dumber on my part. I did a FE and void/pheonix harrass. I didn't have good enough view of my own base and got nydus... Stupid mistakes

Anyways I could use some suggestions on how to work on my PvP. Most games don't go past the 10 minute mark, so if there are any resources you think would truely aid in stopping my PvP losing streak, please let me know in the comments below.

I ran through Portal recently on the stream so you can check that out in the VODS it was fun and quick. So if you never played it and wanna give it a look, go right ahead. Plus I will be making a schedule when I am running through a random game, and when I'm laddering/casting, so hope you are looking forward to it. I will also host a website with all the essential info.

I love you guys, ♥

It seems like you know why you lost those PvZ matches. For PvP, use the 4-Gate or 2-Gate Robo (make Immortals) to counter the enemy 4-Gate. 3-Gate Blink Stalker is a good build in this matchup, as long as have the micro. Other than that, it is a race to Colossus, though using Archons is still a good option and can be a follow-up to the Blink build.

PvP = 4 gate on Tal'Darim, Delta Q, and Scrap.
I used to be so confused as to what to do, but 3-stalker into 3-gate robo is such an awesome build. ^^

if happy ever afters did exist <3 @watamizu_

I think the best way to to perfectly refine you openings. You know the build (pretty much every build mizU and edc have mentioned), just open a custom game vs the AI and practice them until you get the first 5 mins down perfectly

Once you get comfortable with the start, you start getting comfortable further down the game
