HOWEVER, I didn't quite realize just how time consuming the video making process would be. I'm going to have to rethink this. For now, while I catch up on the...'video making process' I'm going to be doing just one replay a day. Since that's really all that can be processed in time for now given my capabilities.

Diamond League game, currently a 400~ Diamond Player. ![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-140966.jpg) This is a TvP in which I go 1 1 1 into Marauders Hellion Banshee push, he attacks with void rays so I decide to base trade, I manage to expand + turret it off, and transition into marine siege tank, and get vikings when I see he has carriers, but ended up losing anyway. Any help or advice at all would be appreciated! <3 from Australia | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-136434.jpg) This is a mid diamond lvl game. I played ur Rax/Factory/rax strategy with marauders and helions, but i lost three games in a row against zerg, because the zerg builds lots of spine crawler and speedlings. I try to push before he gets his spyre, but lose to his defense. I know u play this strategy very often, so hopefully you can help me with timing things and so on ; ) best regards Ingame Fluppes best regards | ||

So plat is doable, and I'm often a bit sloppy. I generally move out when stim is done. BUT you need to scout and if they are teching up, hit them early. If they expand early, again hit them and you pretty much win. If they seem to have a good army, just try to contain them to one base while you expand, don't run up their ramp or such nonsense. And don't be afraid of turrets and bunkers if you have a bad feeling and crap scouting. I almost always build an engineering bay as I move out (only exception is really an all rax Terran). Don't lose stupidly. The nice thing about this strat is you can win on your first push with overwhelming power or it sets you up nicely for mid game given you already have two tech labs and a reactor. You can go MMM or tank-viking whatever. Going into midgame you almost always have map control and good mobility. And your economy is great and your army is BIG. Anyway thanks Trump--love your livestreams. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-136572.jpg) Game between AleX (top malaysian player) and myself. Diamond level game. I was even enough in terms of army, and probably shoudl have held this off. Or so I think. Could you let me know if the build is more or less workable, and let me know if I should have unloaded the bunkers straight away or pushed out and tried to attack his army at the xelnaga tower? Also maybe if I should have tried to research stim/shield after the expansion was up. Thanks. | ||

It's pretty simple: Standard opening 10 depot, 12 rax, 13 gas, 15 orbital, get one marine, 2nd depot. I get the factory as soon as I reach 100 gas(add reactor when done), then techlab on first rax (maybe cranking out another marine while waiting for factory/gas), then second rax with techlab. just pump hellions/marauders, build enough depots and push out when hellion #5 and #6 are done. you should have 2 marines and about 6-8 marauders till then. still not quite sure about that number to be honest. I usually do not research stim because it slows down the build pretty much (if you want to have it in the first fight). concussive shells may be an option though. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-136625.jpg) High Diamond play on metalopolis TvP. Doing 1-1-1 build getting a raven out to clear away observers. Put up an expand and added more barracks and my army composition later in the game turned out to be 5-6 tanks, 2-3 thors and marine marauder with ghosts for emp and a couple of vikings since my opponent liked void rays. I wonder what i could have done better since i lost the game i must have done something wrong and i cant find out why. I can only find 1 reason and that was i threw away a portion of my army after a big battle trying to take out his gold expand. Would be cool if you could check it out and share some tips! // Bobson | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-136773.jpg) Plat T vs Diamond Z on steppes. 7 minute game Banelings-- How do you deal with them. In this game i was trying to do a 1/1/1 build into mech (Hence the tech lab on rax). In the game i got distracted and missed 15 orbital, and some scvs like a dumb ass. I scout the bling nest just as i got blings pouring in my front door and dont get to wall off effectivly. How do i deal with this sh*t D: Cheers Therickz | ||

now im promoted no longer in gold im 9th in newly created (week ago cca) diamond division and i have a lot of succes with this build which im doing here thats take expo fast defend it with bunker with marauders and then just kill him with bigger army of vikings-tanks it was ok i defended early attacks got air cotrol but then he switched to mass marauder and thor... im not sure what should i have done... maybe contain him with sieged tanks in his base ?or build something where i can benefit from my air superiority like banshee or BC ?thanks for your time Trump ![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-136815.jpg) | ||

Played Marasume before and was pretty sure he was going to tech, 1 barrack then factory and tried to get very fast expo. He pushed with hydras but i knew he was coming, managed to fight him off. From this point on I did not know what I was doing.

MMM and ghosts on my side against sentries, zealots, stalkers and high templars. Even though I won the game I think I had some serious problems in the game. Main problem was probably my horrible macro but this is clear to me. I'm more interested in how should I scout and how to time my pushes. And of course I wan't to hear the big problems I have but didn't mention.

![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-136874.jpg) I am rank 1-5 gold player, i think in this game i make too many tech tree buildings and dont really choose one. I build turrets blindly wasting minerals(i expect most toss to go void ray) and i chose the wrong time and place to expand to. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-137027.jpg) I'm a rank 7 diamond player He goes for HT mixed with gateway units, then switches to voidrays at the end. I go Marine/Marauder/tanks I probably should have gone for ghosts for EMP and micro my marine/marauder ball a little better when he was storming me. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/repimgs/repimg-33-137079.jpg) Rank 2 Plat (me) vs Diamond player. I went for an early hellion harass that failed as he bunkered his ramp, and my game plan was to follow through with air supremacy BCs/vikings to destroy his siege lines. I macro better than him (3 base vs 2 base) but his mass vikings snipe my BCs way to easily. Poor micro on my part for not keeping the BCs alive but other than that I think I handed the game away from mid game onwards. | ||
