Ok.
I'm a B rank Terran, but I can never get any higher then that.
Do you have any tips / build recommendations to maybe further my iCCup rise?
The thing I'm MOST having trouble with is korean Muta micro.
I just can't seem to deal.

That and Colloseum TvP, mid/late game.

How would you describe the mindset Terran players should get into when playing against every race?

analyze whats wrong with your game. likely your timings are all garbage. study progamer timings. look at VODs and really analyze WHEN and under what circumstances they are making certain things. if you can understand this then you should be able to apply it to your own game. in addition your macro is probably quite poor. work on keeping up your scv production//keeping up with depots//not over-queing. its better to have extra barracks/factories/etc then to have extra money or extra units in each of them.

vs muta micro just mirror what they do exactly. if the mutas are running away from your marines then run away from the mutas. when he turns around you stim and turn around. make sure you TARGET mutas. if you just attack move into them you will get destroyed. you must thin the muta numbers. make sure to refill your medic supply. you have to stim so much vs mutas that you will run out of energy. just make some more medics instead of marines every now and then.

colosseum tvp is really annoying. you have to get really good at controlling a maxed army and you must be really good with vessels. just takes tons of practice. its pretty self explanatory.

Thanks, I've noticed my timing is pretty poor. My macro is decent I'd say, I'm always making scvs, keeping up with depots. etc. Just my unit control is terrible mid/late game, especially vs swarm/arbiters/carriers.

You are a inspiration to me, as I've always followed your games in the foreign scene, and getting some advice really encourages me.

Could you possibly tell me some good non-fe openings TvP on maps like Destination?

Do you know any top tier siege expand/fd terran builds vs protoss? The translated guides are really nice in the strategy section, but we don't have an fd/siege expand one yet.
Thanks!

How do I stop proxy rax (7 rax or so) in my natural on destination TvT? Should I be scouting after depot on that map? I've already abandoned 12/12 for 11/11 but I always either lose my ramp and have rines terrorizing my city or end up surviving after heavy losses, letting my opponent crush me with higher tech units of his choice.

it really matters what style you want to use. in super general terms:

be aggressive vs zerg killing drones/hatcheries as much as possible. the game is going to be a battle over the 3rd + 4th bases of zerg. deny them the 3rd base and its an easy win. deny them a 4th base and its a really hard fought win.

vs a protoss make sure you don't lose your tanks. really its that simple. keep all your tanks alive and don't let them catch you off guard with somehting stupid like carriers. take it nice and slow and KEEP THOSE TANKS ALIVE.

vs terran nowadays its all about map control. if you get a good contain on your opponent you will generally win. don't let yourself get contained!

Destination is a really good map to practice dropship openings on. 2fact isnt too too good there so i dont suggest it really. 1fact expand sadly is normally required on destination due to the strangeness of the map.
