Here is an update to my progress.

I am ranked 10th, and playing silvers, and played a rank 8 gold.

I am going to start telling you how many games I've played each day, and hopefully over time, I can watch it grow.

--

So I have got two builds I am working on (actual build orders from liquipedia, not guesses), the TvZ build I have chosen to learn is the 2rax pressure FE. I like to expand, and I like early pressure builds, so it seemed really fun to do. Plus you can bunker, kill the hatchery or contain for a while whilst expanding behind it, so you can get the lead.

For TvP, I am learning the 3rax stim, as aggressive openings in TvP are really fun, and a lot of times you can win from the 3rax. At this level, anyway.

If anyone knows a good TvT build to work on, much love.

--

I guess I've got a schedule I am planning to put in place over the next few weeks. I get home from school around 4PM, and then I will have my food, and start to play at around 5:30PM, after browsing TL and talking to my friends for a bit first. I will then try to ladder for 4-5 hours. And on the weekend, I can maybe do 8 hours if I want to practice hard. This is the plan, I hope I can follow through with it.

I am looking for practice partners of T, P and Z. I am Cloudfury.533 on EU (I am changing the name soon, it sounded cool at the time, but it was a bad idea in hindsight.) Please post in the thread/blog if you'd like to help me and give me tips through customs, as it'd be a HUGE help and improve my skills a lot. tyty <3

I don't think it'll matter at your level, but 3rax is pretty allin, you're better off learning some sort of 2rax conc shell pressure or a 1rax gasless fe as those are more standard TvP.

TvT right now I like gas before rax into blue flame, you can skip the hellions and go for banshee directly after factory if you like that better though. Mech > bio.

What do you transition into after the expand? Marauder/marine? And late game tanks and vikings?

Hey, I added you. I'm on similar level as you, started playing this a few days ago. Wouldn't mind someone to practice TvT with.
Always looking for practice partners. EU: andy.1535

Tanks lategame PVT, with few exceptions, are really bad. You generally want a Marine/Marauder/Medivac/Ghost/Viking composition, varying the numbers of each depending on your opponent's composition.
