Pretty good effort it shows how to 1a2a3a pretty well especially since you completely bypassed storm. On your economy though you could have been able to do both pretty easily. Oh and I have to disagree with taking the natural first, and on that map you should be taking that corner position and maybe do the gateway production there and at your main so you can still flank successfully. Overall though pretty nice, even though I definitely would rather Stasis than Recall  | ||

Every protoss always takes it, and terrans are always ready for it waiting. I just like it mix it up so they don't see my expansion coming quite as quickly. | ||

He played a 2 base game but did no timing pushes or any attempts to actually take a third. Maybe it's becaue I play alot on Colosseum / Destination lately but I have trouble at the c- rank with people that are WAY better than that guy. Though I guess Colosseum for terran requires no brain and just good macro. Everyone has good and bad games. maybe this guy was just having a bad game. On the other hand, maybe he was using it as a practice game to practice his drops/harass. He really was dropping me in multiple places at the same time frequently. He probably thought he was doing more damage with it than he really was, so he didn't expand. Still, he really should have taken the island, it would have been so easy for him to take. | ||

His rating was 3980, I'm not suggesting anything, the rating is prooved in the video lol. Anyways it's late in the season, so in the first couple weeks of the season there might be D/D+ terrans better than that guy, but at this point in the season there's no way you'll see a D terran better than that guy unless he's a smurf/resetted stats. | ||

And Im going to say go with the standard third. Although every toss does it, theres a good reason. If T went for his mineral only your third was fucked. My guess is Terran was either trying out a different build order or he was on an off day. You made very good advice though, and it will definetly help. Im about the same level as you, similar playstyles probably. Im slower with 160-180 APM but im just a macro whore. 1a2a3a toss is the way to go for C ranks =D | ||

That player's harass was pretty good and his macro was adequate - but for god's sake, he took his third when the Protoss was 2 bases ahead after his arbs had popped, what was his plan? 1) Expand 2) Move goons outside terrans natural so he cant vult harass 3) put obs everywhere 4) take 6-7 bases, THEN get an adequately sized army and laugh your way to a victory. They so baaaaad. | ||

They so baaaaad. lolz, except you can't leave your goons outside his nat, the vults will just run around. I used to do that when I was D/D+, but it's just so much easier to wall-off/leave goons at your chokes/etc. | ||

Most try to take an early third so perhaps you can do another VOD where the terran tries to get to 200/200 2/1 and then attack you. That will be helpful to the people that struggle against Terrans who turtle off 3 base (or 4 base on andromeda/medusa). Yeah i plan on it but the problem is I can't host, so I just join games and hope they're terran and HOPE they'll do a strategy I want them to do so that me recording an fpvod of it isn't a total waste of time lol. | ||
