Today I decided to change the build that I use in PvP (I basically only use 1 build). The previous build that I was using was magnet's DT opener ( http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=406177 ), but recently I've found myself having doubts as to whether it's the best to continue to use it. Many enemies that I've faced have gotten up detection easily in time for the DTs (although doing cheap, free damage never was truly the point) and I feel like they almost always get an economic lead on me.

*Edited links to builds, I realized that I linked Magnet's build twice*

I've decided that I'm going to stick with trying to use a blink build for a while (kinda all-in, I think). The link to the build is http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=414344 . I've never really tried to many blink builds in my time, but I think that playing blink can be pretty fun, and it can also be a fun challenge to utilize the blink micro to it's fullest capability.

Some replays of me trying the build (and all losing) against a fellow team member Fry, just if any of you are bored enough to watch them.

Fast expanding builds seem like they may pose a big threat to the build. If I lose the MSC (which I did in all games) then it severely cuts down on my mobility with blinking up to high ground and such. This build requires a lot more micro and probably map awareness than what I've been doing in the past, so I think that it's going to take a good deal more practice to get it right, but I'm liking the feel of the build.

Hopefully I'll come back bearing some good reports of my progress with the new build that I'm using! Also, I finally got matched against a masters (who wasn't playing unranked) in ranked! MY MMR MAY BE GOIN UP!!! So happy 'bout that. Thanks as per usual for checkin' out my blog, have a great day, and GL HF!

P.S.
My current clan has some sort of sponsorship?? THEN I MUST REDIRECT YOU!!! TO OUR WEB PAGE!!!

Although no longer part of their community, Phalanx continues to support DarkOnyx. They have barely any activity, but with some more love maybe they might actually get their asses working . They're a great bunch of guys, and really the reason why I could get up to the league I am now.
