I joined some D python game and my opponent was D-. Since my high rank is C I thought it would be easy win. Game lasts over 20 minutes and I lose.. I know my play is pretty shitty from inactivity but I didn't think that I could lose to some D- protoss ever. I'm actually shocked right now. Rep Link Is that really D- level? Holy crap things have changed this last month.  | ||

It's ok to move out with a few tanks/vultures! Be sure to mine up the map to know where your opponent is at all times! Use your vultures to their max, 75 minerals for 3 mines + attack power? use them for all they're worth, use those mines! You bunched up your tanks when you made your push, which made it very easy for protoss to stasis and move in. You are just wayyyyyyyy too passive. Do something! Attack, harass, expand, do SOMETHING! edit: also i watched your factories for a while, and half the time they weren't even making units when you weren't maxed! | ||

I think what cost you the game was your first initial push. You 2 are close bases, so it would be alot better to slowpush him with tons of turrets and mines. It wouldnt take long to push to his natural, and that would contain him, allowing you to hold your expansions. Instead you fast pushed him, got statis'd and lost all your units. The 2nd push, when he was at your 3oclock expo, you sent all your vultures first, they all died, then your tanks came in alone, they got statis'd, and lastly you leave your 2 vessels over his army, and he just targets them and they die. Personally, I think you should of abused mines ALOT more. He rarely even used observers with his army. He certainly didnt try to clear any mines, unless you call running into them with his army "clearing them" lol. Other than that, you just had a bunch of macro slips (which is to be expected after a month of not playing) | ||

Well I wasn't playing very safe because I thought he was actually D-. When I play D players I just attack move my unsieged tanks at the end and win. The rest of my mistakes were due to me being flustered that he could actually stop my first push. edit: Other rep Other other rep These are two reps that I also played today. This is what I expect at the D levels and why I'm confused at that D- level's play. Both the players in the reps are d/d+ i think. My macro was wasn't much different but the end result was | ||

Don't worry about it. You let your guard down and someone took advantage of it. No need to beat yourself up over it.  | ||

My macro was wasn't much different but the end result was my suggestion to you, then, is to play good regardless of who you're playing and when you do a bunch of dumb shit that 'usually works against D- players' or whatever and lose, don't come to TL to make a blog about it wondering what happened D- is circumstantial, you can't just plow a bunch of chobos if you're not significantly better than them, and these days you will not be | ||

Never let your guard down esp when you vs a Protoss because at the lower levels it is very forgiving~ | ||
