I really haven't played starcraft since July, but here are just a few of the mistakes that I have seen.

Just to note before I go on, I skipped to random parts throughout the videos, so if I say something and you did what I am giving advice for, don't get mad!

You decided to opt for the standard fast expo, which is absolutely fine. However when you are doing the build you did, where you got you're academy wayy late (if at all, I didn't watch to the end) and your ebay very late as well. Even though when you scouted, there were no signs of a reaver drop, or dt's, it is not uncommon for a protoss player to get a dt drop to slow down a terran when they realize the terran goes for a fast expansion. Therefore, after you send out your first scv and it dies, I like to send out another outside their expo, to know when they are moving out, with how many dragoons, when they are expanding (if it's very late, I get a turret ring around my main).

You pushed out with a reasonable size army, however against a protoss who doesn't turtle inside their main and who has decent macro, you are very viable to a flank, and with only 1 factory with add-on if they hurt your army, you are pretty much fucked as you will have vultures vs dragoons + obs.

@ Djabanete the guy was also one of the old timer, he was ahead of his time in his pvz skills, he had a pretty high score on Gamei.

@LemOn there are many ways to counter this, all protoss needed was 1 more minute to get 2 more rounds of zealots production from gateways, so to buy that 1 minute like CaucasianAsian mention toss can use DT to delay it, or they can try to run round for a flank to pick off tanks, and for one of those very good reaver users they can fly a shuttle inside terran base to delay the push from comming out. Protoss doesn't really have to sacrifice economy to stop this. But if they choose to then, they can macro off 7-8 gates like you said and pump a shitload in order to over power the push.

@food plz stays on topic, it would be nice if you edit and take out that youtube link of yours
