This is great, I've been trying to help a friend get better but I don't really know T play and he refuses to switch to protoss.
Here is a replay of him


Marine/Marauder vs Immortal/Gateway Units

He hasn't done placement match since patch 13 (been trying to get better before he attempts them) But I would say he is around silver-gold.
In this game I told him what I was going to do and we played it out. I think he went 3 rax into starport with tech lab for banshees.

Thanks again, this is going to be great for him.

I'm a random player, but here is a TvZ match where i really sucked.

Marine / Tank / Banshee vs Roach / Hydra / Mutalisk

The League's Silver, rank 15ish.

I watched the replay again this morning and I think i wasn't agressive enough and turtled up for too long. This is mainly because i did not care to take control of the XN tower and thus was playing very very blind. I think i could have moved out around the 15min mark.

Thanks for the help,

Marine/Tank vs Phoenix/Zealot/Stalker/Sentry

I'm a Gold league player (Silver before they changed it). This game is typical for me, although I got crushed more handidly than usual. I'm having trouble knowing when to expand and knowing how aggressive I should be. Usually if I don't end the game in my mid-game push or if I can't pull off a good harass, I usually fall apart and lose the game. Any beginner tips for macroing beyond your first base and mid-game push are appreciated.

edit: I'm currently rank 12. My strategy was 1/1/1, pushing with marines, a couple of tanks and a raven, followed by banchee harass.

1/1/1 vs Zealot/Stalker

Ok, I tried going 1/1/1 build. Earlier in a 2v2, I saw how awesoem the raven's Auto-turrets were, so I wanted to try that harass, which you saw. I did win the match, but I want you critique it because I feel that, though I played well, I could have done better. Also, it does help that my oppponent suuucked.

I'm plat 17, 9/4. I feel that upper Plat is challenging, while mid to low plat is easier. Also, this is my first time using 1/1/1 in an actual match other then 2v2 and custom games, so I'm a bit inexperienced with the build. I know I made minor mistakes such as the occasional supply block and that retarded SCV on my CC in the beginning.

Anyways, make me feel better about my playing, ^.^!

Victory
about 30 mins

This is a silver league match and I did lots of errors. We are both noobs. The reason of my victory was because of the enemys poor choice of units and bad macro. He made marine+tank+air I made thors in the end. I wil try to post a better quality loss later.

Nevertheless if you fancy I would enjoy your insight.
Thx a lot!

Replay:

Mech / Ghosts vs Blink Stalker / Colossus

League: Diamond, 350 rating with a 60% win rate. Before the patch I was in Platinum, 1500 rating with a 60% win rate. Basically I'm having difficulty breaking into upper level Diamond where people have 800 ratings (2000+ before the patch) and 70% win rates.

Strategy Overview: Defensive mech until three bases, at which point I get ghosts and then push out. The game didn't get that far, as my defenses were broken as I was getting my third up. I use Thor drop for harassment.

My Comments:

• Lost the Thor after the drop. That was just sloppy control.
  
• My expansion feels late (I was starved for gas and could only support one factory before I got it up). I should have cut some marines or salvaged the bunker so I could get the expansion up earlier.
  
• I didn't throw down the point defense drone until midway through the first battle. Having another raven would have been a huge help as well.
  
• In general my mechanics just feel poor compared to my opponent. He steadily took the lead on workers and expansions throughout the game.
  

Some Questions

• What can I do to improve my mechanics?
  
• What unit composition do you usually go against blinking stalkers and collosi? I think I just needed another raven and a few more tanks, but I'm not 100% sure.
  

Thanks! I watch your stream and really enjoy it.

Hey Trump, i was soo looking forward to see what you would tell on the replay of the game i posted but it seems like there was a missap with the URL you posted for my game so that it would point to another game on scrap station between Stallgeese and Shadowfax.
However i found back the video from my game in your archive (http://www.livestream.com/trumpsc/video?clipId=pla_518debaa-ef98-48d2-a837-3c89836ca8c3).
Sadly it seems like i can't hear your voice comment on the video so i have to deduce hints from what your looking at

That's not a big deal, thanks a lot for doing this for evereybody, it's really usefull
