Welcome to my third blog (I'm on fire!) This update contains game information for my first session. This blog is mostly for my own motivation and record keeping, but I'd love it for anyone to give feedback or possibly even learn anything. So here we go:

Game 1 http://drop.sc/117088

Map: Antiga Shipyard
Race: Protoss
Favoured/League: Gold (his placement)
Game Length: 25:57
Result: Win

What happened
He opened 3gate expand into 6gate pressure. When that failed he dropped 4 cannons and double robo facility. Eventually got 2-2, his 3rd and more gateways. Had 2 colossus at game end.

What I did well
Creep spread
Expanding

What I did badly
Denying his third
Spotting his 4th (Although it was only 30 seconds into construction at end of game)
Holding off early pressure
Third tier too late
Too many Roaches probably.

Could it have ended badly
If he had attacked earlier than he did I might have struggled to get enough of an army together to hold it off. Instead he Waited for an extra warp in (~11mins) allowing me to get enought units out to combat him.

Could I have ended it earlier
Probably could have walked into his base after his attack at 11mins. Could have maybe pushed while starting to drone again to see.

Stopping the third
Had overlord with creep on it
Tried to pressure it, destroyed rocks to it, but pulled back my mostly Roach army due to high Immortal number. Destroyed 2 gateways and a pylon. Kept trying to pressure it but as it went up at 16 minutes I figured he'd be running out of minerals at his main so wasn't hugely troubling.

Creep: [image loading]

Game 2 accidently deleted replay

Map: Antiga Shipyard
Race: Protoss
Favoured/League: Gold (Even)
Game Length: 9:43
Result: Win

What happened
4 Gate. Was delayed due to me killing his proxy so was easily dealt with

What I did well
Scouted one base play
Got to two base saturation
Saw initial proxy pylon and killed it and a zealot he warped to save it

What I did badly
Didn't spread drones out efficiently
Overreacted to attack? Although I did drone during the attack

Could it have ended badly
Maybe, it wasn't well executed. Not seeing the proxy pylon could have hurt.

Game 3 http://drop.sc/117089

Map: Metalopolis
Race: Zerg
Favoured/League: Gold (Even)
Game Length: 19:00
Result: Win

What happened
He did a 14Pool/14 Gas (?) and did a lot of early Zergling pressure. I was outnumbered but held with queens blocking ramp and spine crawler with lings
He expanded behind this and I took my third and got roaches and infestation pit. He killed my 3rd just after it finished. I traded armies at his third but couldn't deny it. I macroed up and out upgraded him. As he attacked my fourth I killed off his army and he left.

What I did well
Hold early ling pressure - usually I fail at this, but as there were no banelings I held quite easily, even without my own banelings being finished yet.
Got gas at reasonable time, allowing me to upgrade, mass roaches and get infestors.

What I did badly
Creen spread was lacking this game, I don't know if I mind this sooo much against Zerg though.
Holding my third

Could it have ended badly
I only just got my ramp blocked with my queens. Would have been terrible if his lings had got up

Stopping the third
Traded armies at his third but his shorter reinforcement distance eventually won him the battle.

End of Session:
Session W/L: 3-0
Overall W/L: 3-0
Rank 3 Gold 159 points

Like I said earlier, any feedback is most definitely appreciated and if you get anything out of this blog or have any questions, let me know and I'll be happy to answer.

I think you've got a good way of looking at your games, its always nice to stay positive by at least acknowledging what you did well in addition to what you need to work on.

Though this sentence doesnt seem finished :

Great analysis of your own games, or at least the serious attempt to analyze the games is the important part (for the most part, I agree with it)

In the first game, perhaps the late hive tech was because of the lack of gas? I did notice that you sometimes forgot to put drones on gas for a while, and pure roach/hydra also consumes its fair share of gas. I do agree that you were rather late with using the hive tech though.

At some point I feel like it would make more sense to pick a recurring issue in your play and then write logs focusing a good amount on that, but right now what you're doing looks completely fine since three games (one without a replay!) is not a lot to go off of and also you haven't lost any yet, so it's pretty hard to pick an issue to fix.

Hi,

I'm not too sure about the way I've written it at the moment, I just wrote a couple of points I thought were worth considering when looking at the game. Its entirely likely that I may change what sub headers as time goes on.

I probably did get my gas late, its a habit I'm trying to get out of!

Thanks for the feedback!
