Finally, I can continue my blog after the sports tryouts! Currently I'm 30-24, and I got to C- as a 20-9. I am really bordering on the C- level, but mainly it's because yesterday I was playing absolutely HORRENDOUSLY! I lost 11 games and only won 3. Every single time I played a game my speed went down, I had less morale and my mechanics/play just overall decreased the more I lost. So I decided to quit there and then play today. Today I'm doing much much better. I don't know if yesterday I was having a bad day or because it was late that there were better players on. Here's 6 games I've chosen, 3 I lost and 3 I won. I chose the 3 I won because it's extremely annoying when ZvP on Tau Cross they block the natural, but generally they feel they are safe and are either too nooby/didn't scout or something and you can take advantage of their holes in the gameplay.

I feel that the three games I lost were mainly due to decision making problems, mechanics problems and multitasking. I starting slowing down. In one game, I didn't scout properly and went the wrong way while he came to rape my expansions. Then I rushed back and had the worst flank ever, and he had excellent storms due to my mistake. Another game I kept getting too greedy and lost my huge advantage. My ZvT must get improved if I want to get C, I always get a huge advantage and lose it later in the game.

WINS:
Game 1: ZvP
This game my opponent did the block, and left his probe inside. His probe made some cannons and 2 gates, so he was able to pressure me, but it wasn't too hard to fend off. He did do a nice job splitting up his army to get my drones and sunken, fortunately for me he didn't get any drones and only managed to kill my sunken.

Zealots were split to kill my drones
This whole time I had been researching drop and the hydralisk upgrades, and I broke out of the pylon block. From there I slow dropped over the wall and targetted + destroyed his main nexus, as well as a few reavers that had just come out.

Poor reaver
Then I went behind his minerals where it was unprotected, sniped his probes and it was GG.

Game 2: ZvP
This game my opponent doesn't actually even use the pylon block, he cancels it! I cancelled my hatchery and made a proxy hatchery (lol) inside his base.
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
Proxy hatch LOL
This is a great move if you want to humiliate someone. I think it'd work better if they wasted minerals on their pylon block with cannons, but still, I added some sunkens and took out his main nexus, then proceeded to go for upgraded hydras to take out the rest of his base.

Game 3: ZvP
Again, the pylon block. I take a secret expansion and do the hydra/drop tech again. He pressures with 2 zealots and
I only have 4 lings, so I lose a few drones as he brings more. He almost takes out one of my hatcheries but I saved it just in time.
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
I have a slight suspicion this guy was hacking, because all of a sudden for no reason he sent 12 zealots at my secret expansion.
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
Why did he randomnly send these zealots here -_-
I kept dropping, preventing him from expanding. He killed my first drop, but then I did a bigger drop and he got weaker and weaker until I killed his main nexus and destroyed the rest of his army.

LOSSES
Game 1: ZvP
The guy does a 6 gate speedzeal +1 build.
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
Wow, 5 more gates?!
I thought I had adequately prepared for it with 2.5 ctrl groups of lings and 3 lurkers, but he came with his +1 about 20 seconds earlier than mine, dominated my lings and ran past my lurkers.

Game 2: ZvP
This is a very good look at my bad decision making. All three of these games I had very bad macro in cases where I have much better macro, but this one was about decision making and scouting as well. If I had scouted his army position better, I would have known that he was coming to attack my expansion. I was sending my units in the exact opposite spot.
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
Look at the minimap and the army positions.
As soon as I saw him, I rushed back and had no time to prepare a good flank, so he stormed excellently and killed my army easily.

Beautiful storms on a badly positioned army.
These are situations where a queen with parasite could come in handy for me(read the queen thread in strategy forum).

Game 3: ZvP
This guy was good. Even though I exploited his FE placement and had a good advantage, he still beat me quite easily.
+ Show Spoiler +
[image loading]
Going around his cannons to kill probes
Everytime I looked away from my base, I came back to find all my drones destroyed! I thought I had killed the 3 dark templars that he dropped into my base, but then he hid all 3 and all of them in total got more than 40 kills I think. It was crazy. This was one of my last games so I wasn't playing very well and even losing all my drones I still had tons of surplus, but this guy was good at multitasking and I kept not killing the DTs in my base. Anytime we got into a battle or something, DTs would pop all my drones.

Overall I'm disappointed at myself for my performance but I know I can do better, I just need more practice. Of course I still need much help on ZvT, so I really need a tutor/trainer for that and if anyone is out there that's willing please tell me PM me if you want replays or something -_- I think I can get C this season, right now I'm about 3500 so as long as I can keep about 50% win record I think it's C for me

7pool is gooooot on tau cross
Whenever I encounter some little hitch, or some of my orbs get out of orbit, nothing pleases me so much as to make the crooked straight and crush down uneven places. www.day9.tv

11 losses in a row is pretty bad but even worse is playing a 42 minute PvZ at B level on Python and winning for +100.. only to play the next game on python and losing (-100), therefore making the 42 minute game completely worthless.

Unless you play to get better, or to actually have some fun.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

I'm a C- Terran, if you wanna play. (On battle.net to practice)

Goodluck with your Iccup adventures.

You can 12 hatch 11 pool -> with your 8th or 9th drone go to the choke, than 10th drone + ovy head towards choke.

Use those two and the ovy on hold to keep probe from placing pylon there.

send a 3rd probe to 12 hatch - move through the other two using the minerals.

Just watch for cannons behind the minerals at the actual expo, and you should be fine to head into a 3 hatch / 4 hatch build

I've seen you in the C channel btw !

Well, I do use the hold pos with overlord to stop pylon placement, but I put it there at 12 supply and sometimes they pylon it before that. Generally I don't care too much though, as I have 100% win against that so far on iCCup.
