Hey guys. I'm a Bronze level terran (on the SEA server - Silver on NA) which makes me a bottom feeder of bottom feeders. Recently I've been focusing on my macro and I feel like my macro is honestly not bad. I can hit 200 supply in about 14-16 minutes, constantly make SCVs, try to keep my ratio of production correct etc. Problem is after my first placement match, I'm rank 86. All I do is try to macro well and A click into the opponent's base and it's failing. Before I posted a thread where I just tried doing mass marines without mining gas and I won more games back then.

Can anyone please help me with this?

In this game I used a 1 rax fe against my opponent. I ended up with 3 bases (including 1 gold) and lost to a 1 basing terran. I just don't understand this game anymore.

Well no shit, you don't have any points after 1 placement match. Please don't use points as a means of measuring your progress, they are beyond meaningless.

Finally managed to win a game on the new map. I love the wall-able choke on the Korhal compound map. I've probably macroed the best I ever have on this map:

Gheed, I agree with you so much I can't stand it.
Done with Team Liquid for a while. Don't expect to find me here.

Yeah blindly A moving tends to not work out alot of the time. Perhaps trying to macro and make a smart attck would better benefit you. Just a though
