Howdy y'all,

First blog post here for me, I'm a sophomore at Texas A&M University (USA). I'm taking Mechanical Engineering, which is actually a 5-year major, despite what you may hear. I'm in AFROTC here, which works differently from most places, as we're a Senior Military College. I'll probably talk about that later. My home is in Livermore, California, a nice little city about an hour southeast of San Fran. My girlfriend of three years goes to UC Davis, which is an hour and a half north of where we live when school isn't happening. The long distance relationship is hard, but we manage pretty well. She wants to be a nurse when she gets out of school. Enough of this, though:

I play Terran at about a Gold level, though I played Random at Silver/Gold for the first two seasons. I tend to watch about twice as much Starcraft as I actually play, but that's partly because I like to think that if I dont actually WATCH Starcraft, I'll study...

The reason I picked Terran was cuz of all the wacky builds that Terran can use.
vT I use iEchoic's build
vP I play standard, 2rax poke and expo
vZ I do a reactor hellion expand and go mech.

The reason I wrote this blog post, though, was because I've started to see Protoss do a lot of cool stuff, specifically Liquid`Hero's gosu harass play in PvZ, White-Ra (anything he does), EGHuK's PvP, and I'm thinking about switching to 'toss. Any advice?

I'd likely use:
vT not really sure, any suggestion?
vP 4gate on TDA, otherwise Tyler's 3gate Robo from Day9's Steal this Build
vZ FFE into Stargate harass into colossus when they get hydras.

Go big or go home.

Since you are only Gold and therefore in it to have fun, just do whatever you want.

PvT it seems one gate expand is popular, if you are confident in your micro to hold off early pressure. If not 3 gw pressure expand is good, too, might even outright win games if they don't have bunkers.

vZ FFE wouldn't work well on all maps though, so have some GW expands in your bag of tricks.
Starleague Forever. RIP KT Violet~
