TvT: 111 cloak banshee, cancel cloak if I see engineering bay or starport with the banshee. TvT: Protoss-style 2rax into delayed combat shield, fast +1 (2 reactor rax, 1 engineering bay, just build fact when stim is at 120) TvT: 1 rax fe into 4 rax marine combat shield timing, take 3rd during push TvT: Defensive 111 ( I like to call it), take guys off gas when factory is started, throw down cc, get gas again, starport for vikings, then while you were spaming hellions, make 2 more facts with extra gas. Either go 2 reactor fact, 1 tech lab and armory upgrades, or 2 tank fact, 1 reactor. | ||

Pro players are top masters with all races even if they more or less never use them because their mechanics are so good. I'm platinum zerg and got to gold immediately on a terran smurf account even though I had never used T on ladder and I lost 2 placement matches on purpose. It's probably true for most people from plat and up that their offraces are about the same league or one league lower. It's harder for masters since macro makes a smaller difference the higher you go, but saying it's more than 3 times the effort... nah. You don't have to believe me, but the fact that you're in plat should give you a hint that you might not have enough insight in what's needed at that level. | ||

Yeah, I think it's 2 seasons. I didn't play Season 4, but only have 1 placement match in Season 5... Also a fellow P --> R, just Gold-level :-P | ||

Anyway, switching to random wasn't hard for me at all. I went from high masters to mid masters, not much change really. As long as you know how to macro and you know a basic opening for each matchup, it's pretty simple. Most of your openings are just right... But I would say lean more toward 1rax fe in TvP instead of 2rax. You can still apply a little pressure if you decide to go fast conc shells, it allows you to pick off a few units here and there. In TvT, I say learn the popular bio builds that have been going around, I been learning from a high master who goes 1rax FE in TvT and it's really pretty good if you learn how to stop 1-1-1. Also I still don't like going muta in ZvP, I know it's really popular right now but I crush every zerg who tries it against me, I'm actually loving the PvZ matchup because every single zerg goes mutas and it's a free win to a fast 2base push. Good luck! | ||
