Well, this is my first blog on these forums so I decided to make some fun out of improving as a silver player in SC2!

I'm going to try and make a new blog every week as long as I play enough, which I usually don't. So, in a way this will force me to play and get better Now onto the Blog!!!!


ROAD TO GRANDMASTERS


Hello, my name is Flashbang on the NA server!!! I'm making this blog where everyone can watch my improvement and also have the lower league players, who may struggle with the same problems as I do, work them out and hopefully we can improve together.

Each week I will link a few of my replays....wins and losses to see my fatal flaws and what I'm doing good on that I may not think is good ♥ I have A LOT of macro and micro flaws :D So, if your expecting to see master vs master players...this isn't the thread for you ♥

This isn't an ego boost thread either :D Just a thread to help lower lvl players ♥

Flashbang.492
+ Show Spoiler +
My character code, Silver Protoss



For my first week I'm working on my build orders :D YAY! So, for each race I'm experimenting on different builds I feel comfortable with:

PvT: + Show Spoiler +
I go for REALLY early stalker aggression into expo and/or finish him off then and there if I do enough with my original stalkers.

PvZ: + Show Spoiler +
Depending on map I go for forge expand, or I go 3gate aggression into expo into 6 gate.

PvP:+ Show Spoiler +
I love my 4gate ♥ but sometimes I alternate with quick blink stalkers into a robo or 4gate.



Replays

Match ups

PvZ-+ Show Spoiler +
My most comfortable match up ♥ I usually don't have problem with Z unless I don't wall off at the beginning or I constantly supply block myself.

PvT- + Show Spoiler +
UGH! By far my worst match up. I cannot stop all in's to save my life!!!!!! Sentries only have so much energy 'till they can come up lol!

PvP- + Show Spoiler +
It's my middle match up. My builds need work, and I'm trying to fix my micro ♥



Please comment and help me out by pointing out what I'm doing right and wrong ♥ I'm aiming for as high as I can for as long as I can

If any lower league players, like me, want to play or practice, I'm on a lot. Also, you can message me on TL with anything you have questions on or build orders you want me to try :D






This is my first blog on TL!!!! So, I'm hoping I get positive feedback for making a blog like this so I can keep it going )))))) I made this so others can improve and to show them what to improve on by showing maybe some fundamental flaws with their games by looking at another lower tier player!!!

And also maybe one of the good blog writers can show me how to increase the font and add cool little effects HAHA! ♥

I think this is a great idea; wish I had thought of it first lol, anyway I watched a few of your replays; I'm still a noob myself so I don't think I'd be much help commenting but I'll def. be sure to check back and see what suggestions people give, I still have so much to learn!

Are you sure you dont want to set your sights a bit lower for the time being? Silver to GM is pretty ambitious. But I guess thats a good thing in some ways. :D

Also are RinKasumi and blueeyedkitten you? :S It seems like a pretty random blog for two different people to register (both from U.S) just to post in. Just curious, will totally believe you if you say its not.

Hi Bibbit! No I'm a real person for sure lol! But I'm a noob do you have any advise for me? I'm trying to learn some builds on Protoss that seems to be my best race but I tried one game and I failed horribly lol! Hot keys are really hard to get used to!
P.S. What rank are you and what race do you play?

you wanna try to base your build off what your opponent is doing. by this i mean your should scout and respond so that you have an advantage. against terran, if your opponent goes bio you should get colossus and/or high templars to accompany your main force. if he/she goes mech, your should get immortals.
