So I need your help. What can I improve?
btw if it looks like its lagging, its cuz it was lagging in game.

1. Learn how to simcity (gateway above forge) 2. All your actions are just too slow. I see you waiting for your probe to walk all the way over to build a gateway or whatever. It takes up sooooo much time. 3. Also it seems like a lot of the time you're just looking for a spot to place a building. You need to spread your pylons out more. 4. Macro, macro, macro. All your actions took way too long to do. By that I mean it you forever to queue up units, to move your mouse over to click something, to box (select) your units, etc etc. If you did everything faster and instantly you would have more time to queue up units. | ||

building placement (slow. if you had known good building placement, you could slap it down in less than a blink of an eye). supply timings.. (you got supply blocked at least 3 times..) unit production. etc things would drastically improve. your actions need to be faster and more compressed.. be aware of ur units, same as what BanZu said, dont watch/wait for something like a probe to get to a destination to build something. do something in the meanwhile. Brood Wars is a Real Time Strategy game, and so, that means, that a person who can manage everything as close to simultaneously as possible would be better than the next person with lesser mechanics. disregarding gamesense (and maybe some other important things?) you would be advantageous in that right. faster mouse speed.. definitely.. ( i dont mean sensitivity though) | ||

why did you search your own base with your probe? it's not that important, you're scouting at 8, and you'll probably see the ovie anyway. @2:14 - you lost your first scouting probe because you didn't keep it circling around his mineral line. Go ahead and use waypoints to keep your probe alive, and it will also help with your buildings. @ 2:21 you've got like 471 mins, no forge, and no nex. You were lucky that you scouted him first, but you need to put the forge down at 10 so that you can defend against the 9 pool if they're far away. The right adaptation if you scout them first is (map dependent) canceling the forge, placing the nex, then the forge, then 2 cannons. @2:57 simcity. needs work. With that placement lings can get inbetween every single building, which makes blocking with cannons hard. @3:30 - 495 mins. That's a lot. You also get pylon blocked at 17 supply i'm pretty sure. @4:20 ish you send out a scouting probe, and all I saw was the hydra den. 2 hat hydra? 3 hat hydra? did he expand? 4 hat hydra? Scouting is tough, but it's really important in pvz @ 4:30 ish... you shift clicked the gas, which made it so that the probes didn't transfer. @4:34 still @ 450 mins or something @ 5:37 - you've got 1 gate, 2 more building, a cybernetics core, 32 supply in probes, 1 zeal building, and no stargate. You also have 3 cannons at your nat, no +1 spinning, and no cannons in your main. On the plus side, your probe production and saturation is pretty good. @ 5:50 you're trying to place a gate for like 5 seconds. Just put it down. Spreading out your pylons will help you have plenty of places to put your gate. @ 6:30 pylon blocked at 42 supply @ 6:40 +1 started @ 7:00 zeal speed started + temp archrives @ 7:10 you have 4 zeals. And 0 cannons in your main. None covering any of your mineral lines. And you have no idea what the zerg opponent is doing. @7:20 you see overlord wander over your base unchallenged. He now knows your tech (saw temp archives) and your gatecount (saw 3, w/ 1 building) @8:30 you're supply blocked at 58 again, you have 1k min in the bank, you have 900 gas, and the ovie's still sitting over your main. You did manage to scare off the hydra though. @9:00 Supply blocked at 66 or something. You need ht to deal with hydra blob (and +1 wep would help as well). @9:51 you're still stuck at 66 supply, 1.6k min, 1k gas. Basic problems: spread out your pylons. you'll have plenty of places to put your buildings. Become faster. Just practice. Get the build order down right. 8 pylon, 10 forge. Practice at least 1 cannon before nex, as it will allow you to deal with zerglings and other unscouted things. Read the zerg, respond to what theyr'e doing macro. Like crazy. if you have that many mins, spend it on gates. if you have enough gates, you can fix any sort of macro problem, as gas -> ht, and mins -> lings | ||
