I am a noob just trying to learn how to play well. Fuck it just watch this if you got ten minuets to kill. I'm angry at myself for making shitty decisions and I'm angry that I allowed it all to happen. I'm really angry that toss can get away with it(that I let him get away with it) and I'm really happy that I overcame such agony. I present to you the most ridiculous game conceivable from the depths of D-.

any tips are appreciated.

Wow that's the first time I've seen a Terran steal gas from a Protoss haha. His second nexus was also placed really awkwardly and in a bad spot.

I thought you stopped SCV production pretty early, it wasn't until you lost a few to those zealots that you started building them again. You were sort of on your back foot the whole game, one thing I know that pisses me off as a protoss is constant vulture harass, especially if they manage to get into my probe line, you should run around with vultures as best as you can and try to get in his base when ever it's possible.

Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

I think the replay is corrupt, sorry.
+ Show Spoiler [EDIT] +
Oh. My. God.

I'm sorry.

He could have expoed over 9000 times and killed you with those initial 4-6 zealots easily. He managed to delay your barracks for at least a whole minute, and when he did finally expand, he randomly took it in the corner far away from the correct spot. He didn't even do anything with his first dark templar. He has more guys mining off 1 assimilator than he has mining minerals in his main. Carriers off 1 gas? I guess so. You took his 3rd base before he even took his natural. This is some of the worst macro I have seen. He didn't even have detection until 25 minutes in. You could have gone freaking 2port wraith and owned him silly. Okay enough on how shitty he is. I don't have enough time to go in depth on everything that needs work, so here it is simplified.

- Your macro sucks. You brought in way more resource than him that game but spent it horriblly. Had you invested in upgrades and goliaths while teching to vessels you wouldn't need all those turrets sitting around, and you could just 1a2a3a'd him.

- Micro needs work, especially the beginning. He slowed you down way too much. Your barracks should never take that long to complete.

- You need to scout. Wait, no. You even scouted. You saw him switch to 2gate zealot after you stole his gas. You weren't prepared at all when he came up your ramp and killed your wall with no resistance.

- You need to harass. He had no more than half a dozen [ground] units the whole game to defend.

- You need a plan. You saw he had nothing(eventually). Why did you just turret up and wait for him to build up a carrier army? If you had proper macro you could have easily killed him off before he had carriers. Learn how to do a timing push.

- Your BO was insanely sloppy. You had 400/200 before you even started your first factory.

- The end BM was absolutely hilarious. I managed to laugh at something other than how shitty that protoss was. Thanks

I just watched it, the replay is fine. Protosses base was wide open, you can have hit his eco pretty hard with some vultures.

cant believe i watched that game... the toss was horrible. and why where you bm towards the end?

edit: it looked like the rep was corrupt because the toss wasnt doing anything while he was busy harassing the scv making your rax. his minerals even reached 1k before he remembered that he wasnt playing dota and his hero was the probe.

i should have done that. I tried to attack later but I was mentally in shambles and got raped by dts. I felt like I was on the backfoot but then I realized that he should have killed me by 25-30min in the game so i put my scvs to work. thanks hyde.

yea I was bm in the end I do admit. I was really frustrated and yea...
yes.

winner!

EDIT: Good thing you put this as a blog. If this was in strategy Chill would probably link you to recommended threads(which you really need to see anyways) and close it.

just a few things i noticed:
you had a really hard time with his probe harassing your scv
you transferred way to many units to your expo
when the dt's were in your main, you kept trying to get a comsat station at your main when you could have gotten it at your natural
u never got to harass
at the beginning, imo you should have stopped researching siege and instead go for mines and vultures
im only 13 min into the rep right now tho

and im very surprised he got an apm of 50
seemed like he wasnt doig anything

LOL indeed, and this comes from someone with 50 apm himself.

You saw him go for zealots and were still unprepared
You didn't get vulture speed for the longest time
You got detection way late, lucky he decided to wait instead of actually using his DTs
You saw him get DTs but only put one misplaced turret in your main, later going overboard with turrets
You built vultures/tanks at one point while 4 carriers were ravaging your base
You threw wave after wave of stuff at him and lost it because you didn't scan his DTs
You had large numbers of idle SCVs while some bases had only a few workers mining
It seems you generally lacked any plan or clue what to do.

Still the other player was much worse

This got to be a joke replay. Seriously.
I hate the post below mine because it feels War3-ish.

Pick a build order you like and start practicing that. Really if your a newbie, just focus on practicing your build order. I don't even think looking at your replay will help at this stage. Practice until your decent and then look at your replays to think about strategy and tactics.
