So I've been getting messages that I have been marked as the #4 random player in the world but I can't find this information; where are you all finding this? Blizz posted something about their top 200 ranked players, you might be on that list. I know I am at the 102 in the top 200 but I didn't see anything about global. Dunno, but you're 4th random on that list so gj. lol can't take credit if I don't know it's true! http://sc2ranks.com/ranks/all/diamond/1/random/points/0Third in US / Fourth in world with only 10 points to second (probably not true anymore) Most of my losses are late game (or super early game) when I am in a lead but I somehow manage to throw away the game by just not being experienced enough above 150 supply. Do you have some tactics or tips you can give me what to pay special attention to in order to secure a win when in a lead? Just general frame of mind and what to look out for, what to do stuff etc. Thank you! I need a more idea of what you mean; as in what race is this against? All? If it's against terran at that stage it's positioning and map control; keep them strong. If it's against protoss stay on even bases and be very careful not to mis position your army. Army position is very key. If he's storming a lot try to get a sneak emp. This comes down to a lot of micro and army composition. while maintaining your macro. If it's against zerg; snipe bases but never make it so he can 1-a your main base. The zerg has to surround you here to really get you; hug edges with your marines behind units un attainable; drop often to snipe mains. make 3-4 reapers just to go mineral harass. I need more detail my friend. Wow. I wrote a fairly ambiguous post and you already pointed out EVERY SINGLE FUCKING THING i was doing wrong. Against Protoss I would be like 40 food ahead trying to snipe off Nexi while he just warps in templar to slowly but surely whittle down my army. I always forget to position my army correctly, I just macro and let the rally command take care of it and then lose half my army to templar + colossus before I can even react properly. Against Zerg I manage to maintain map control with mech (mainly tanks and hellions plus maybe a stray thor for baneling soaking) + MMM + bunkers & turrets in front of his base until he just goes tier 3 and a move rapes my army. I have to be way more active about harassing in all matchups. It's so simple. Almost every time i harass I win lol Day9 said in his recent daily that even if scourge controlled air in BW, Flash would just force the drops to work by doing some tactic. Do you think such drop forcing is possible or do you just have general pointers / tips / timings for dropping? It's so effective and yet I almost never get myself to do it since there's always something else on the agenda (omg need to survive, omg need those medivacs, omg need to expand / macro we) Thanks again 
Forcing the drops is very possible, last night while streaming i flew 3 drops intentionally over a zerg control watch tower to have him intercept it with his army to his expo accross metalop; in the meantime I stimmed 15 marines to his main and took out 2 hatcheries while he was distracted and 2 queens; it was a very big blow to him as those were his main unit producing hatcheries. He was down to 2 hatcheries with queens producing versus a 3 base terran army.
In the end I overwhelmed him with numbers.

Update: I have asked for my stream to be featured and I should know sometime within a week if this will be allowed. For all you streamers who have needed help finding me this will be a big help and hopefully expand my capabilities in helping everyone.
Also incase people missed it I did open this thread to ask about any race; any matchup; any strategy; and more. It's not just terran anymore.
In the upcoming streams I will also try to give replays of the games that I do play near instant for al the viewers, however I need help finding a website that everyone loves and is the best place to upload / download from. Any feedback will help considered.

Stream is coming online will answer Q&A's

Do you use fast scroll (middle mouse button scroll) ?
I think that it is quite useful as it is fast but pressing the middle mouse button is not very efficient. If it was move to the right click button I would definitely use it all the time.

Hello Yosho, I am a 900 point Terran player and commentator for sclegacy.com, struggling very badly with the TvZ matchup.
It seems that the inevitability of Mutalisks forces me to remain at home until i can feel safe with turrets, and spine crawlers and easy expansions nullify my attempts to harass and kill drones, upon which Ultralisks overwhelm me.
You can see in the replay I attached that I am actually able to defend from muta harass, stop a very large army of Ultralisks, and then lose when my Thors are destroyed by his next wave of larvae which are all zerglings, which he then sends in before his new Ultras, thusly killing the Thors before they can 250 mm Strike Cannon the Ultralisks.
It has it all: thrills, chills, spills, action, and BM whining from me at the end. I would really appreciate your help in this, I have struggled with this matchup since beta.

I have no idea what that is; I will try it out and tell you my opinion later today.

I will look at your replay further later in the day and comment on it; however I don't usually do that too much unless i'm teaching someone. No promises; however that is one thing that I sometimes struggle with too. and it is something that I will research further on thursday or later this evening. Stick with me then and you get a more definitive answer.

Hey could you record your videos with livestream? I think there's a section somewhere on the website. I would love to take a look at your stream but I'm not always able to find the time for live streams. Thx!

Just a quick question. In TvZ vs Muta harrass, how many turrets do you place in your mineral line and do you ever get the range and armor upgrade from the EB.

I am able to record them with Xfire however I am unable to until my computer gets fixed. I can't really download / record on my brothers computer.

Hi, I'm not sure if this question has been answered already, but what do you do against mass muta? And by mass muta I mean at least a good 30-35 that's constantly being reinforced. I've tried Thors/Marines but I just either can't get enough, get contained in my base, or try and move out and get nuked by banelings/slings. Have you had any experience dealing with this efficiently? Thanks!

Sometimes I get the armor upgrades if they are trying to snipe mains and I get more planetary.
As for turrets 1 in your mineral line is good but i try to get 2 behind 1 in front of the CC.

Well spread out thors really can be key, I do feel thors marine are the best it may be up to your micro and unit placement that need work.

How do you feel about 2 gate robo fast colossus opening against a 3 raxing terran? I find I never get to late game with this strat because if my colossus isn't out by the time he pushes out with his MMG army, I lose due to not enough gateways and if I get a nice FF off and my colossus is out I push out and win.

k yosho i have a couple of questions
high ranked gold Terran
1) whats counter to banelings if you dont want to get siege tanks (unfair units)
2) if my enemy is makin alot of zealots should i add in ravens for auto turret and missile launcher?
3) it eveyr viable to make first command cenre into Fortress against Zergling rush?
with your mindset about #1, you're never going to get any better than you are now.
If anything, you're just going to slowly fall out as other players get better, until you drop that scrubby attitude.
