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?

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.

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.
Unfortunately, recording didn't save.
From what I remember: scan uphill before you push. Then, don't push in unfavorable positions, for example blindly from downhill to meet storms.

Build more scvs.
Expand.
Keep building units.

As there are more replays then I can handle even at my planned 5 replays per day, I'm going to be making a couple videos about basic play / builds which should help out the gold and under league players. Most of the gold replays I end up watching are pretty much:
"Build SCVs. Build Units. Expand. Your build order needs fixing."
So I'm not taking bronze, silver, and gold replays from now on. Just imagine that I would be looking at your base and saying the above.
I'll be instead taking platinum and diamond replays still.
I plan on reviewing 5 replays each day at 5 PM PST. A nice daily break from my games.

Awsomme , my replay will skipp some "waiting in line"  ))

Awesome! Watching these vods and your lessons helped my game so much! Also really like how you don't bash on players but instead compliment on the things done right.
|
I liked the Commentating a lot, there wouldn't happen to be a similar thing somewhere on this page for Zerg? =)
|
What will happen to the already submitted videos which were bronze, silver and gold ?
Will those still be reviewed ?

I'm about 400-450 diamond (445 atm) and he was in plat league with a good record.
I tried to do a weird hellion marine push since the distance is close but I see 2 rax marauders so I naturally think it's a bust and react defensively. He then casually takes his backdoor expansion and I'm forced to play catchup all game. How would you have reacted in this situation? Banshees crossed my mind but I thought if I tried to get them, I'd probably be overrun by stimmed marauders before I get even one out. Coupled with a bad starting location (super easy for him to drop marauders then go straight to my main ramp). After I realized I was behind, I tried to take a hidden expo which stays up for a bit but gets scouted. Thankfully he moved his entire army over which prompted me to do a final counter attack at his main which got repelled due to the short distance of the center area.
edit: On what I think I did wrong, I have no idea lol. My starting build was wonky but I think I played decently after I scouted his 2 rax marauder. I want to say it was a build order loss due to the map & starting positions but I wanted to hear your thoughts on it.
Also, do you mind if I ask you a bunch of general questions instead of asking for replays? I think having a little Q & A with you will help out my game a lot. Thanks

Nevermind, Diamond/Platinum only.

Low ranked diamond player (I'm Phyxx)
I actually did win this game, but I need some help to figure the later stages out in a classic tank/viking battle.
I opened up with a marine/hellion push with some success, and ended up with the viking advantage. However, I failed hard to exploit it. It seemed like he could spam scans, and by that force me to stay out of range with my tanks. Later on he even forced me to pull my vikings back by adding thors and turrents, and at that point I actually felt like I was losing, even though I had air control and a 200/200 army.
What could/should I have done to use my viking advantage properly?
Should I have translated into something else, like BC, mass Marauders or Thors?
And finally a big thanks for sharing so much with the community, we love you!

I'm in the diamond league, ranked 34 or so after this win I believe. I play random, but have been considering playing Terran. I have absolutely no idea how I managed to pull this off, and if it was just a fluke or if I should continue this play style if I decide to play Terran full time.
I scout a dual gateway at the start and realize he's zealot rushing me. I was intending to do a 3 racks stim push with marines and marauders so I try to throw up a bunker to help me fend it off. My micro is pretty sloppy, but I survive. I know I'm not too far behind at this point considering I have mules and he's been chronoboosting zealots all game.
From here I pretty much hole up. Scan him as often as I feel safe as I want to mule. I tried to counter everything he did, but I had no real clue how to win. Ended up massing BCs for the win, which I thought was pretty silly.
EDIT: After reviewing this today I just realized how long this is and if you want to skip it instead of wasting your evening I'll understand completely. 75 minute game is pretty ridiculous ^_^

Care to analyze one of my replays?
I lost to a toss which I had pretty much in control

thanks a bunch!
P.S.: Thank you again for analyzing it so quickly. <3

Ranked #6 Diamond League
I went Mass marines with stimpack and Helions, and my opponent went Mass Zerglings and Hydras.
I pushed as fast as i felt comfortable doing so, because I really didn't want to go into dealing with Muta's.
Well... I won, but not outstandingly so. This was my first Diamond League game so I would extremely appreciate you critiquing my game play so I can improve and win more games.

I just recently got into diamond, so this was one of my newer games against Z. I went hellion marauder push, he went roach hydra. The game went into late game where it was Thors vs. Ultralisks. Very close game, I was wondering why I lost. It could have possibly happened because I wasted a lot of money on an unsuccessful Thor drop, I'm not sure, but the zerg player seemed to have a very methodical stable way of playing things and I was wondering how I could 1-up him. For example, how to counter hydralisks?
BTW I got into top diamond league in one night thanks to you you're awesome, and you have a very great channel. I would be rank 1 if I didn't have to leave on a trip this second, just 30 more points ;p
Rank: 2
EDIT: I just realized that the hyperimage seems to be displaying incorrectly, it's supposed to show TvZ with me as T, but I can't correct it from where I am right now, hopefully it's the right one. The name of my opponent (MechanismA) seems to be ringing a bell in my head. It is also the same map.
Can't wait for my lesson...

Just wanted to say thanks for giving me a hand, thoose hints and tips will really help me out. Thanks alot Will post later when I think I've might have improved! Cheers.

Hey Trump,
ive been following your stream/replay analysis for quite a while now and i am finally submitting a replay myself. keep up the good work, i think it really helps people alot! thank you!
My replay is TvZ with both players being platinum level. to be honest i'm not quite sure if I belong to platinum since sc2 is my first rts ever and i am just playing since the second beta phase. but bnet put me there after 5-0 in placement (3-rax rock!)and for about 40 games now I retain platin with about 50/50 win/loss so I think it might be ok.
![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-135911.jpg)
The TvZ:
I'm playing your "patented" rax/fax/rax Marauder/Hellion opening (which I'm having great success with, btw). My opponent succesfully baneling-busts my wall (2 depots unfortunately) but I am able to hold the attack off, without suffering too much economical damage. I quickly counter-attack, thinking he played all-in and i could win it right here. I fail, he goes muta, I try to go thor (feeling somewhat helpless at this point) and as soon as I manage to set me up against muta he steamrolls me with baneling/speedling. i'm quite curious what you think about this game and how I could have won. (which I think I should have, honestly) I also want to know what you think about my expansion placement.

Hi Trump,
Been watching your stream since just before p1 beta ended, and lately (the last 2 days)its made me want to try 1v1 more instead of just 2s and 3s. Theres been some growing pains, and currently in silver despite being platinum in 2s. I tend to be a bit uncertain what to do against turtle matches against terran.
In this replay I decided on a marauder/thor build originally and made a few banshees to harass later, the problem I ran into was finding a way to break his defense with his expansion being blocked behind his base. I took more expansions myself to try and choke him eventually, but my slow marauder/thor army wasn't fast enough to keep up with his viking harassment and I ended up losing despite having a stronger army.

Diamond v Diamond
This is my buildorder against protoss : 10 sup, 12 rax, 13 ref(alltho I made 14 this game cus of distractions) 15 orb, at 20 or so ghost aca, and after that It's just an impuls, in other words if my first push fails im pretty much screwed as you can see in this game, I do want to note that my micro was HORRIBLE at my first push I could've easily won that battle but instead we traded armies and he got the best of it, there was alot of flaws in my game but the biggest thing that made me loose imo was that first attack, if I had microed it better the outcome of the game would have been so much different I think.
Most of the times my first push works great and gives me the win but when it goes shit like this I need a backup plan.
What can I do if my first attack fails because shit happens and I need a backup plan, like "if my first push doesn't hurt him bad I'll transition 2 X" etc also I would appreciate it if you could give me suggestions to do differently in my build, generally just as much help as you can think of to give me.
Anyways I think thats all I wanted to say I've been to your stream everyday the last couple of days and Hope that I will be there when you cast my replay!

this is awesome!
i've pretty much watched everything and i learned a lot.
i'm not sure you'll see this post but...
i've recently changed from zerg to terran... and...
well to have more things to watch about terran games, can you upload some of replays that you have played? that would be like... very informative whether it's a win or a loss. i mean even if i lose, i wanna lose such that like... i did pretty well, the loss was just a dumb luck loss, or i know i was in the disadvantage, but i held on long enough kind of games...

Hey Trump,
This is a TvZ match up, where I did a 1/1/1 build and thought I was doing okay till I got killed by mutas even though I thought I was prepared for them. I am a gold level (15-20) player but I cant manage to get into the plat league, I usually play like this so any advice is appriciated since I probably should move up to the plat league soon if I just could improve a bit.
