EPTWell it's been an interesting week. There'll be no video this week due to the fact that my girlfriend had a friend stay with us last weekend and she left us both the nice parting gift of her cold/cough. As you might imagine, or heard while tuning into the stream, my voice is completely shot. Luckily, this week was not a completely loss, I got to play some SC2!
Over this past week I was working on a couple specific things that I hope will help my TvZ. Harassing more early on and making sure the pivotal engagement doesn't occur after my macro has slipped. Overall I think i still need a lot more work in these two areas. My TvT and TvP are at or above 2:1 right now while my TvZ is only at 1:1. I have managed to climb into the top 8 of this gold league. In the last week I'm pretty sure I've played more games than I had over the last year combined!
For the next week my goal is to either make rank 1 in this gold league or get promoted (I'm not sure how promotion is handled mid season these days since I haven't had a league promotion since beta). Specifically I want to work on my late game/closing games against zerg. I think I plan on testing a ghost transition when I think ultras/broodlords are coming soon. This will obviously help me work on my scouting as well. As always I'll be focusing mostly on improving my macro and just playing games.
See you all next week! I hope you're enjoying the HSC IV.
