Platinum 20th rank as of now

Is a 28 min Terran Vs Protoss. I seen that he was going mass Void rays, so then massed up on Marines and Vikings to counter. However I felt stuck the whole time, not feeling safe to try and move out. Later on in the game I seen that he had a mother Ship and a mass of Carriers with a few Stalkers and high templar, which at that point I had no idea what to make to counter. At the end of the game I knew I was done for so I just attacked, but knowing that it wouldn’t really help.

I know that my Micro and Macro is pretty poor, even more so in this game. I'm still really new to all RTS, never really played SC1, when I did it was just custom maps and only played like 3 games in Beta. But still feel free to point out(or bash on) my mistakes in both.

What I feel I could have done better is have a better unit mix to counter his forces better, not sure if a few Thors would have helped or not and should have expanded a lot sooner. Also I know that I built way too many turrets. But really, unlike most games I can see where I went wrong, but here I’m not fully sure what I should have done at the time, other then what I pointed out and the fact I needed to find a better way to expand sooner.

I was trying to do standard TVT tank viking opening or whatever.. I play random so mirror matches can be tough for me.

I really messed up this early game and got outplayed I had alot of losses early. I usually seem to lose these intial battles in tvt.

Anyway, cheers

I am in diamond league (rank 30-ish) in which I dont belong. I think I should be placed in gold.

Any way, this is a short replay of how I rushed zerg player (who chose to early-expand) with 2 thors and some marines. Can you let me know this this build is viable against better skilled player? Also, please let me know if there's anything I could do to even improve this build?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Trump. I'm glad that your still helping ppl. I posted once back in beta and now the time has come to post it again.
It's a TvsZ (Platinum) matchup on desert oasis. Overall he scouted better and won mainly becasue of that, but i would like you to see this game for next reassons:
1.) comentate please on my defence vs his baneling bust
2.) Tell me what could i have done better to herras him and especially when?
3.) General question, how to expand on this map when playing zerg? This map is killing me.

Top platinum league (1 at the moment, I imagine I'd be in low-mid diamond if I played more I just don't have time)

Marines & Marauders vs Gateway units and colossi. I meant to do a 2rax expand but ended up 3rax expanding instead by accident.I think that I should have attacked near the start as he was fast teching so I could have applied pressure on early which would have been quite damaging. I should have also teched to medivacs/vikings quicker, and possibly gotten ghosts.

After I killed his gold expansion I should have also retreated back to my main not attack his base. I would have also liked to expand a lot earlier, but the constant pressure meant I was insecure about doing it.

My unit control could also be better, but I'm working on that.

Cheers for any help you provide.

10 minute TvP 3 rax vs 4gate w/ proxy pylon
30ish diamond v 1 diamond
Basic 3 rax strat with added engineering bay. he pushes off a proxy pylon with mass stalkers and sentries, right before my +1 weapons finishes, he breaks my rocks and then rolls over my army which is not in perfect position but not taken by surprise(I saw him breaking rocks in time)

I missed a few scvs but i think it only shorted me like 1 or 2 marauders at the final battle, not enough that i think it would have turned the battle in my favor. normaly i drop a bunker as soon as i see 4 gate, but i cant on a map with two ramps, do i just have to suck it up and build multiple bunkers? i dont think this would work because he will just expand while i turtle on 1 base.

Me: High Diamond
Oppoenent: High Plat, but with 12/2 win loss ratio.

I was so sure I was going to win this, but I didn't. I did a regular 1/1/1, I got viking advantage, I set up a strong position, I had econ advantage, but he just pushed right through my tanks using thor marauder and tanks.

I got supply capped at 200/200 too.

This is a Platinum v Platinum TvT match. I am Spirit.

In this game, I try to do a 3 Barracks push, but the timing was off. I didn't get to the enemy base until he already had sieged tanks. I pulled back and expanded. I wasn't sure how to follow up after the early game. I built a couple tanks and more marauders, but I had some trouble judging when to attack. Early in the game, I got reaper harassed. I actually scouted it with my scv, but it never clicked in my head, that it was reapers. I still held it off well enough, although that could use some improvement too.

My macro was not as sharp as I'd have liked, but I felt like it was not bad enough to have caused me to lose the game.

Can you help sharpen up my build and help me identify windows for timing pushes?

Don't skip over this because I am silver, I am fighting an opponent who is platinum and will be moved up to platinum league when Blizzard scans my profile again

Edit 2: I actually am platinum rank 2 now, so it is a completely valid match


Terran v Protoss - I started off with a typical build, 3 rax maurader/marine push at ~7 minutes. I was macroing pretty well until I slipped up during the push and stopped making SCV's for about 30-40 seconds. He was able to hold it off using force fields until he had enough units, then counter pushed with a 5 gateway build for the win.

mid plat (30?) random player here

honestly i was going for a early marine/marauder harass into a m/m/tank build, have no clue what he was doing...

i started off a bit slow because of a phone call at the loading screen..from there I think my failing points were lack of scouting and just a lack of general attack timing...I tried to focus on constantly producing workers but i lost a lot of that once his first attack hit me

We were even in unit/eco pretty much throughout the game... I would like to know what I could have done better, especially after his first drop. And maybe a hint or two about scouting/attack timings

Thanks!
