So today is yet another day of ladder grinding at its best. Hopefully I can get my MMR into atleast going against only Plats so that way I know I am on the right track. The next couple days I am hoping to play atleast 15 games a day minimum, but things change or sometimes I just dont feel like grinding out a few games. I have already started to ladder and its not even 10 am for me yet, so I started earlyier then usual so lets hope for the best!

Game 1

Terran
Rank 12 Gold
98 Wins

This was kinda a bad game for me, I ended up winning cause I was able to drone pretty good, but I didnt see that he expanded till way late. I lost my army to a bad engagement but I was able to re-make it like usual and pull off my mass ling bling comp. He actually went BC, and when I saw that I kinda giggled inside because It didnt bother me at all. I would be more afraid of mass tanks then a couple Bc's. I just made a ton of currupters, got my hive and begin teching to broods.

How I could have improved :

#1 Scouting more
#2 Don't engage unless certain I can clean it up
#3 Use more Muta/festors
#4 Possibly get double evo to pump out double upgrades?
#5 Make more drones?
#6 Take more bases
#7 Spend money
#8 Don't Get Supply Blocked!

Game 1

Oh snap its 3:44 pm and I've only played 1 game! Girlfriends mother came by and we went all around town so have not had time to play! I'll be playing a lot in a short while!!

Game 2

Protoss
Rank 23 Platinum
23 Wins

+ Show Spoiler +

This game for some reason It didnt feel right, It didnt feel like I knew this game at all, my hands where not doing that great and my movement speed was not that hot. I managed to win because I'm a cool guy and all, but I want to know why this game felt so off. It was a ZvP and he went voids, I was able to react accordingly pretty simply and such. He was kinda bad I think, I managed to just roflstomp him while he could have done a lot better to stop me.

Game 2

Hey guys so I'v played a couple games and i'm not feeling so hot right now, It just not clikcing for me like It usualy does so i'm going to take a break and see if when I come back later if I can do better cause i am not using my head correctly.

you should always make a spine if you 15/15, it makes laddering a lot safer (especially when you don't know what he is getting)
and you scouted the factory really late ><
also should always check whether he is going heavy one base aggro or just pressure with expo. it makes a world difference if you find out.
your second gas was up but didn't put any drones for a while.
(I also think double up is a must for ling heavy)

creep spread is crucial in zvt! it's almost a must

(the watch tower lol, can't believe he had scv there for the whole game XD)

and you made too much corruptors honestly :p

but overall, you did quite well. you should work on scouting through

Hahaha yeah the scv was kinda like, how long have you been there buddy? :D It was just a random spot I did not think of looking. I agree creep spread is important, so something to work on as well. Putting people on gas is important as well.
