Man I guarantee you that if keep 4gating every single game you'll get to Diamond. It's all in the matter of how well you perform you 4 Gate and how intelligently you follow it up. There's probably people out there who do the same thing to get from Diamond to Masters.

why cant you create thread in blogs?
Anyway, use 1single one base all in build until you get to diamond to get familiar with the "units relationship", then expand to other build. At least that's what i did back when i moved from plat to diamond. Because let's face it, plat players usually doesn't have much knowledge to gain any helpful information from their loss replay and doesn't have the understanding to be able to do a variety of build. So it is best just study and master 1 solid all-in build first.

P.S. Noticed your battle.net name, "Whitera's fanboy detected"

Why u make 3 pylons when u attack, near the same place, 1 is enough. And u really had to forcefield way earlier in ur first attack, then u would have been fine i think.

Why dont u make two gateways first and then ur forge? You dont even make a cannon, when forge finished so seems not neccesary. The second push i find a bit weird, u lost alot imo, then u go in the open field so its hard to get good forcefields Also u are attacking and containing him, but u do make 4 or 5 cannons to defend ur thrid seems a bit odd. I would think u might wanna go something tech earlier (if he would have gone hydra you would have a hard time defending. You had 6 gateways quite a long time not in warp gate mode.

Note: not everything (like the forge first) HAS to be bad, it just seems bad to me (im 37 rank diamond protoss on EU). Hope it helps u a bit, gl to get to diamond!

You're thrid match seems really lucky. You expand with 1 zealot (if he just went baneling/ling u would have lost, even with only lings you would have lost expo + 2 pylons + forge + probes + units). Then u have really lot of time no units and no cannons at the beginning (except couple of phoenix). U scouted pretty late, what if he went mass muta? That seems a pretty good counter against ur void rays and collosus.

That u had lots of money doesnt really matter cause u were maxed, it would be a good idea to get lots of gateways (remax is pretty easy then) and upgrade with two cyber core and 3 forge (or two ).

Do love the style of voidray/mothership/collosus, i usually dont go air cause of the seperate upgrades. I tend to got ht/dt after collosus, with some void rays if i go harass early with stargate.

(btw the link to replay is wrong ).

gg! :D

EDIT damn every time i finish taking look at ur game another game is uploaded xD

PvT is great! :D Got to say pretty solid game, triple forge must better now with the patch.
Maybe put down also fourth gateway, you had the mins? Another risky game with expand first, but like it. And you might want to use your chrono earlier on gate or cyber

im out
gl :D.
