It's Terran vs Zerg

Silver League (me) vs Bronze League

I go for hellion/marine pressure and he goes for a zergling rush.

I believe I lost because of not getting up anti air vs his mutalisks (or maybe is called ultralisks) while I was teching to thors.

Silver

Was trying to do a standard 1 1 1 build and an early push but i got surprised by his air superiority.

I think that allthough i reflexively did a scan on his base I tend to not analyze what I see (the two ports) and cross it off on my mental checklist....

Trump, I've been having a lot of success lately (won 10 games in a row) and so I don't have any recent losses. If you respond before you start to stream can I post a replay and you tell me what I need to do to get to the next level? Or do I need to keep that one replay..

Gold

Trying the 3 Barracks build I have seen your advise new players to do on your channel, the problem seems to come when I need to transition into something else, to deal with air or tanks etc.

I believe my downfall to be the ability to transition and I do tend to go tunnel vision sometimes during fights and forget to manage my macro.

Rank 3 Bronze
Trying the 3 Racks build you advised up against a 1 base roach.

I realize my macro is bad and am working towards that. Was wondering if you think I had a chance here... I won because he lagged out.

My Rank: 16 Platinum
Opponent: around 30 diamond.

I think I played very solidly this game, getting early ghosts while still having a constant unit production and low money count. I think my push timing is what really killed my opponent; usually the protoss is behind his ramp, so they can forcefield you, but my scan was on perfect timing and I was able to swiftly take him out, right before he got his expansion up.

Oh, and the opponent ragequitted ;D

I'm silver league although I should be moving up soon

Was 1/1/1 vs 1/1/1 I believe

I won this one but I think I could have won sooner but I am not sure what I could have done to finish it easier.

Platinum rank 30.
Been having a lot of trouble with TvT lately. I have been trying to avoid the viking wars by massing up marauders but still having trouble.

Mid Level Plat TvZ

Started out trying to do a 4 marine, helion push, transition into a thor build with bio support. I ended up winning but felt that if he was in anyway better I would of been crushed. questions about game, could I of expanded faster? Should I of changed unit comp, once I saw what his composition was? Whats the best build order up to the first thor?

This is a TvT. I'm SnakeWaffles.

I thought I was doing ok, until about 17 min in when I got roflstomped. I used the following build order as my opening:

* 10 supply
* 11 barracks
* 12 refinery
* @100% barracks, orbital command
* @ 100 gas, factory

After which I scannered him, but couldn't figure out what he was building. This is due in large part because I'm not very good at identifying buildings on sight yet. I thought a marines/tanks/Thor army would be a good all-around composition, and later on thought I should add some air support, so started on medivacs and ravens.

I also made a CC and dropped it on my natural to spike my income so I could fund armor/weapon upgrade research.

I had no idea that my opponent had put a cloaked drone over my base and was watching my every move. He used a warp nexus and steamrolled me with zealots and stalkers. I had no choice but to gg.

The biggest lesson I learned in this match was to watch out for scouts, and that I need to figure out a way to determine what I need in terms of army composition. Probably going to go with vikings for air support in the future, and maybe skip the Thors.

I know I did a lot wrong, but what specifically are the weakest points in my game? Also, if I did anything right please let me know so I can keep that while changing the other stuff.

Thanks, and gg.

50 Diamond

Started out with a simple Rax > tech followed by two more barracks (one with tech, one with reactor). I pushed early but got creamed. I expanded then he came and destroyed me very easily.

I think I lost because I was out of position on the first push and he cut my army in half but I am not sure.

4x Gold

I hope you do not mind me uploading another replay so soon (the reason for this defeat is quite different from the last one)

Basicly I went for the 3 barracks build again, and managed to not lose my entire force to one siege tank this time, basicly after the first push I fell apart while expanding and trying to transition into air and mech.

I believe I failed to produce enough vikings to deal with his airforce.

low plat TvZ game. I was trying a 2-1-1 opening. I did well early with hitting his nat and then pushing out vikings to counter his mutas. I can't seem to win a game that goes past the 20min mark. I think i struggle with knowing when and where to expand to and what is the best use of my extra minerals(hellions or marines)?

Side note at around 11:23 the zerg player takes his muta off the map. my vikings still shoot them but i can't see me no matter how i position my screen.

ty for your help.

after watching a number of other terran replays i realize that it was my bad choice of exanding and macro that cost me the game. Trump feel free to skip this game.

Platin Level TvP 111build

I start with my standart 111 build. I do this in nearly every matchup on every map. Then I adjust my Unit composition according to what my enemy is doing. Usually the core of the army is MMM plus around 4 siege tanks.

In this game the Protoss went for zealots stalker with immortals and collossus. I tried to counter this with adding vikings, ravens and ghosts to my army.

After seeing that the Protoss expands, i take my expansion as well.

This is pretty much the state of my game right now. My last 10 Games were exactly like that. What can i change to finally step up to Diamond?

Silver 10-ish.

I'm still pretty new to StarCraft II, I figured he would go for a stalker combo, and I was right, but he still just steamrolled me. I'm wondering if my unit combo was really bad against his mix?
Of course my macro still needs a lot of work, but that problem I'm aware off. He had he's and wrapped around my balls the entire game, just waiting for him to squeeze the living out of me

Not sure what he's rank was, but i felt like he was a lot better than me.

Diamond v Diamond (Both of us around 300 points) TvP

I open with a Rine+Marauder+Tank push but while pushing I scan his base and see a quick twilight council so I thought he was going dts, so put up turrets, prepared to expand and turtled for a little while. He tries to break my front but failed rather miserably and I go on the counter-offensive. I almost snipe his expanding nexus (probably should have focused) and then 2 storms kill my entire MnM army and he goes on to defend the push. He turtles and expands at this point, and does a storm drop on my nat. I wasn't really sure what to do at this point, because I rarely ever get into a situation where I trade blows with the enemy without one side resulting a clear victor. The main reason I lost I believe is I just got straight up out-expanded, but it also could have been my sub-par emp's at the end and overall unit control.
