I had previously written a blog post about my trouble in terran town and I had some really solid advice. I had thought about and figured I should post some replays. So, I did a TvT,P, and Z and uploaded the replays to GGTracker. If you are wondering about my previous post here it is, if you are a bit of a newb you may be able to benefit from the advice as well.http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/462866-i-need-some-help-with-my-terran-play < Terran Help P1. Alright thank you for all feed back and your time.

TvP - http://ggtracker.com/matches/5260284
TvZ - http://ggtracker.com/matches/5260282

I will say that I didn't do any warm up games so they may be a bit worse then I can do and the TvP was the last of 5 games I played.

Hello.
I saw the TvP game and I will comment it. I mean, I play toss so I don't know about the other match ups. My skill level is now mid platinum, I was high diamond last season but I injured my arm and I can't play so I got placed in the lower rank.
First, the other guy was bm for not typing gl hf.
Then, your build. It's very confusing. You do depo, 12 rax and 13 refinery. Is it a reaper build? If it is I think the best of them is 12 rax 12 refinery. Then you mine gas but don't actually make a reaper, you make a bunker in main. This is completely useless. Are you scared to be proxied? On a 3 spawning locations map it is not likely. Then you do a second rax, a factory and then build a cc on the low ground.
What's your reasoning? The dude made a forge first, he can't pressure you with gateway units as his warp gate is severely slowed. The second rax and a factory are a waste because they serve no purpose at this point in time. I mean, you don't pressure with them, you just make a cc after them.
Then I stopped watching the game just because I already had some advice.
1 - go to imbabuild.com and see some macro reaper build for TvP. Print that bitch and repeat the build order until you can do it by heart. Play vs AI for a couple of days if need be. I suggest reaper because it's a really safe way to play and you can scout and find out if it's robo or blink almost any game.
2 - forget micro managing the units. Just make the buildings in the time specified in the build, build depos, make them space marines and marauders. When they are kind of enough and you have medivacs, push the poor protoss guys at around 10-11 minutes into the game. I mean go to their base, stim and a - move FTW. Don't micro the battle at first. Just make more units at home and rally them.
3 - with the reaper scout their base. If it's only one pylon in there, search the map for proxies.
But seriously, when you can execute a certain build and be comfortable with it you will feel that much more confident in your game.
And warm up games are for professional players, IMO. I mean I almost made it to master's league last season at one time and never did a warm up game. I might be wrong though, but that's how I feel about them.
