Hi! Great service. I would really appreciate some feedback on my game.

The replay site suggested doesn't work with the phase 2 replays, I think - so you'll find the replay here: Download

European server (hope that's ok!)
FaFaFa (T) vs. Lyteros (Z)
Gold league
Map: Kulas Ravine
Description: I try to do a standard 1-1-1 opening vs. Zerg with fast Thor - which I use aggressively. It's a pretty straight forward game which I do win, but I'm interested errors you'd be sure to point out, and things that can smoothen my build / playstyle in general.

Thanks a lot!

Tried to do a ghost build, because it's agains Protoss, but i didn't know what exact build it should be. Thanks Trump if you can analyse my another replay...

Reposting this to mediafire as was suggested.

SC2 replay site isn't allowing my uploaded replay. It spits out a load of PHP errors.

Races: T (me) vs P

Strategies:
T = I tried to do mixed Marauders and Marines with Ghosts
P = I think he did what is known as fast void rays, which I had scouted and tried to counter with more marines.

Things I know I did wrong:
Not building SCVs fast enough
Not microing the EMP blasts well.
Not getting starports faster and not getting vikings right away (I think).

I was mediocre Gold before Phase 2, this was last placement that placed me in Bronze. I am now silver, using the basic Trump build pretty much every time.

Gold League TvP

Strats: I went 3 rax with ghosts
He went gateway units with colossus

I should have moved out at 50 supply and could have probably crushed him but I hesitated and pushed after he got a colossus out. Then after my attack my macro slipped horribly.

Here's a very quick game if other players aren't uploading ~8 min game time.

Gold League TvT

Strats: I went hellion/marine harass into Thor
He went mass marauder

This is a very fast game I went for my harass and as I got to his ramp he had 3 or 4 marauders I retreated and he pushed with 5 marauders

Platinum league game.

I did end up winning this game but he came close to breaking me at times and I felt like he could have done alot better. My strat is to open with a 1/1/1 build into ghostmech. I do this pretty smoothly and early game is not a problem, but as soon as the game reaches mid/lategame my play degenerates into me rolling my face on the keyboard. I should probably have added more unit producing structures later in the game aswell.

I was wondering if you could tell me how to improve my unit composition, positioning and if I should be more aggresive or not. (Harass, slowpush, etc.) Also my macro falters later on.

TvT
Top Gold Level, ~1-3 place

He harrased a little bit and then build mass tanks and thors.
I had the eco. advantage but i guess i built the wrong units.
Tried to counter with mass marauders, but i guess my barracks were doin nothing for too long.

Best regards,

Please please please, can I get a video for my IRL friend?
He used to be really confident against me, but now he rages and is too passive. He won't listen to my help so I remembered this thread.

EDIT:

Its T v P on Scrap Station.

I went for stalkers into FE, Chargelots into lots of gateways.
He seemed to FE after seeing mine, and went for a typical bio ball

I know that he let his macro slip ALOT. Especially before I attack, just think a vid of someone explaining will get him to listen. He is close to quitting after waiting so long.

I am in Gold/plat he was placed in Bronze however in phase 1 he was gold/plat too

Me: 10. Platin

I tried a 1/1/1.
He went first to phoenixes and then he mixed up almost everything .. zealot, stalker, phoenixes, ht's .. and so on.

i know i did some things wrong. like:
- lost my raven (tried to harrass)
- missmicroed sometimes
- ghosts to late
- to late missile turrets

but anyways much more went wrong. i didnt expect such a pressure. maybe because i didnt scout good enough. dunno. so, i hope you can give me some tipps

keep up your good work.

TvZ

Strategy: fast thor drop into mech

Things I know I did wrong: I needed to apply more pressure when I got the thors out. I should have not been trying this off two bases for soo long. Mid-end game unit composition wasn't breathtaking either. Macro is the weakest part of my game. I know I should have had like 4 bases by the games end but I'm not sure about when/how I should execute another expansion.


Edit: Gold league and opponent favored.

http://www.mediafire.com/?ymovgmznomd3ilx (Patch 17 replay)

Second one from me, posting because I think there aren't too many for Friday's replay session.

T vs P

Strategy: Marauder heavy plus ghost for beginning... then I had zero ideas even though i scouted a robotics bay.

Things I did wrong:
I wasn't great about scvs, but then again he wasn't either. I had three times his income rate at the end, but still lost because of my terrible, terrible army.

No midgame/endgame. Never transitioned to something worthwhile.

I was aware that I was getting too into the micro even in the moment, it is hard to break out of that.

I am Silver and Battle.net said it was an even match up



ARGH: I just tried to load my Patch 16 replay I had previously posted and I get a blank screen. Hopefully it will work for Trump :/

EDIT: For Patch 16 replays, like my other void rush one, do these instructions if you find a blank screen:

TvZ
gold league, zerg was favored

Initial plan was to go bio ball, but I managed to scout out his baneling nest and swapped to a mech build favoring hellions and thors, as i was expecting a muta/ling composition. I was mildly bad about continuing to build scv's in the early game, but went into godawful mode once i took my natural. I should've been expanding for the entire end-game, but i was worried about my immobility, so just built a bunch of upgrades and thors, until i walked across with about 10 of 'em.

Platinum TvZ - Thors vs. Mass Mutalisk
http://www.davidhowden.org/sc2/TvZ_MassMuta.SC2Replay

Zerg losses twice as many units (22k to 11k), but I'm mined out because I can't leave my base without getting baseraped. This wasn't a turtle strat, I just wasn't able to move out and zerg built nothing but mutalisks.

Main question: How can mech T safely move out or expand when zerg just spams muta?

TvP
Custom Match - Was practicing against my friend scince im horrible facing protoss
~40 mins :p

Tried to Bio/Emp then transitioned into tanks and banshees but he got me in the end with void rays. He turtled into his base and looking at the replay i bet i could have ended the game way earlier if i just got my units into his main faster. and if i would have pushed more in the mid game i probably could have won too :s

Hi professor Trump !

Instead of posting a replay here where i managed to understand my mistake ( i think ) i'd like to ask you a question concerning TvP if you don't mind.

I'm actually go for the awesomeness BO, da Gretorp BO of course ^^ ( rax/refinery/teck-lab/rax/ghost-ac ) where you get one marauder and mass marines and ghost. I have some difficulties in scouting well when my opponent hide his structures but that's ok, it's the game.

What i don't manage to do while in the game, is knowing when should i teck. When should i build a factory/starport. I can see that when i watch the replay, but i need a landmark ( not sure of that word, i mean get a clue, a thing that show me in game when i should make my transition. Sorry for my English ), i have to often that bad reflex to just make more rax when seeing more warpgate. And also, what should be the transition when he goes to HT. Tank ? Mass Air with ghost support ? Hmm, i guess both are viable if you don't mess up. ^^

I don't have so much difficulties against colossus where i can simply go for marauder, but storm is such a pain in the a**

Thanks for your time sir, hope you don't mind if i use your topic for getting advice. I'll probably propose some replay here, it's just that usually, my mistakes are obvious.

The nice thing about the gretorp-bo is that if opponent goes HT, you don't need to do anything. Use your ghosts to emp the HT. (takes micro)
