Alrighty, lads and ladies I promised myself that every time I get a promotion I will gloat about it on TL and take a break from being just a lurker. It has been about a month and a half since I was promoted into plat. So I am more or less on track to get into masters at this point. I have given myself a month to get out of each league now. Bronze was the hardest it's hard to be a scub and get out of bronzie with no friends on B-net. The Bronze in me was worked out in about 2 months of all ins and bad macro. Silver took about another 2 months of the same crap. Gold was much easier to get out of 1 month of perfecting my TvZ was all it took. Plat. took quite a while longer while I tried to perfect my macro and my TvT. That was one of the reason that it took me so long this time was due to my crappieness with seige tanks and re-learning how to mech from BW days. Now while I am in Diamond I shall work towards my new worst match up which is TvP stupid collosi and 7 gate timing pushes are wreaking my shizz at the moment. So anyways I know this was kind of hard to read and anyone who gets to this point thank you for the read and wish me luck to masters. =] Besides it's hard to write while excited. GGs to all.

Yeah as a Diamond Protoss I have to second the above advice. Most Diamond players (like myself) don't have the multitasking needed to handle harassment, it's probably my #1 problem. Of course, this also means that you might not have the multitasking to do the harass and macro perfectly at the same time, but that's why we practice!

Edit: Oh yeah, congratulations!

Terrans strongest tactic vs Protoss is early game pressure into constant harassment. Most protoss players aim for mid game supremacy. Attack them early and hard. Protoss is very weak in the beginning. Exploit that. If you allow the protoss to get a second base without much trouble. Then you are giving the Protoss an easy time. Also, Gas is Protoss crux. If you can slow down their gas intake, you can cause a world of pain for their tech, which often is crucial to a Protoss success.

All in all, try perfecting the marauder rush into expand then drop play tactics. If you can keep protoss contained and limited, most will fall over and die. If the Protoss does expand. Remember Ghosts are your best friend. Use them religiously.

Last thing, kill those sentrys. Sentrys are vital for survival, without them Protoss loses soo much map control.

Thank you guys for the suggestions and tbh I wasnt really expecting anyone to comment but like I said once promotion happens lurker status to the blogs is over anyways I always seem to just flat out die to early collosi pushes which are a pain especially since even when I scout and prepare I never have enough medivacs to keep my army alive anyways thanks for the advice.
