PvP, I was very tired but playing well at first against a player ranked quite a bit lower than me. I was doing some very effective early pressure, and then simply started to fall apart after a concluded the pressure. I did all sorts of ridiculous things:

1) unknowingly un-hotkeying my stalker army and leaving them unprotected outside his base
2) expanding twice and forgetting to rally my expansion nexi -- returning minutes later to find over a dozen probes parked in front of the nexus
3) continually getting supply blocked
4) forgetting to get gas at my expansions (didn't notice b/c I wasn't harvesting minerals either, lol)

I completely fell apart. It was the stupidest loss I ever had!

my 5th placement match. i had won the first 4 ones, but then in the 5th game its a tvp on metalopolis. i open 3 rax like i always do, but my scout in his base sees a stargate and 2 gateways. ok, he´s going 2gate into voidrays. np. i had 3 marauders at that time. so i completely switched my bio production to marines and expanded when i felt safe. after some 12 or so minutes i was wondering when his vrs or his stalker + vr push would come. hmmm, ok. so i went with my bio army and attacked him head on with some 40 marines and 10 marauders. upon reaching his base a gigantic gateway army and 5 templars with plenty of energy were waiting for me and demolished my army in literally 3 seconds. he went on to roflstomp me.

when i was watching the replay, the second my scout had left his base, he cancelled his stargate and teched straight to templars.

at that point in time he was a 300 point platinum league guy with roughly a 50% winrate. i was placed in gold league despite going 4-1 in my placement matches and beating a platinum guy in the 4th game, because i had lost against a "weak platinum player" in the last match. 1 week later, he was at 1.2k points diamond with a 69% winrate.......

Being minimized with a fullscreen browser(win max), tabbing back in only to find out the game ended an hour ago.

As Zerg I was chilling with like 40 banelings against a terran, i saw him about to move out so i set up for a flank. Map is LT, i send my zerglings and mutas to kill the rocks for the gold right, only to realize that that particular control group had my banelings in it somehow. I go back in a frantic state trying to click the control group away from the rocks.

Let's just say 40 banelings kill Descructible rocks really well...

Another one I remembered... A lesson learned the hard way...

TvT on Metalopolis, supply scv goes to scout, i rally to all the bases and continue doing my build, after not seeing any enemy base, I assumed he flew off to some corner, so I chuckled, and just went straight for vikings, let macro slip etc.

The lesson I learned was that an SCV will not reveal the blocked ramp, it will just go to the side of it and sit there, because I had rallied the bases, it went to the side of the ramp, turned around and continued to scout.

I lost that game badly.

Was theorycrafting a build against zerg that made use of archons. Army is consisted mainly of zealots, a few stalkers and 2-3 archons. The zerg I am facing on the ladder is attacking my expo on xel-naga.

Turns out archons cannot get through the typical gate/cyber wall off.

I don't know if this counts, but the other day I was playing a TvT on Blistering Sands. My opponent wanted to get through the back rocks, but I scouted him via XelNaga Towers "years" before and had tanks in siege mode and a MMM army ready. Waiting to rip his army apart.
Then, just as he kills off the rocks in the heat of micro/macroing I hit my windows key and jump to my desktop... I panic and try to get back into the game which I did actually quite fast ... with one problem: nearly the whole screen was black, some kind of grafic glitch or something... well the only thing I could do was to "gg" ...

Sounds like something really simple, but mine would have to be setting my CC's rally point to a worked next to a mineral patch rather than the patch itself at the start of the game. I was wondering why I didn't have enough minerals to build a barracks until 18, until I looked back and noticed a ring of about 8 SCVs having a party around one of the few actually still working.

Today i was playing a PvZ and got the zerg contained on 1 base with cannons while i grabbed my natural. i realize he was about to nydus me because i see OL in the outskirt of my base, so i send stalkers to kill the nydus if it comes. 2 min later i see zerglings everywhere in my base and i realize i moved my stalkers in the "smoke" area on metal, so they didnt kill the nydus right next to them..FML

Held off a Protoss's army with Hydralisks and Zerglings and see my units dying. Immediately I'm like fuckkkkk! Where is my overseer?!! It's on the other side of the map and moves slowly. By the time it gets to my base everything is dead...Stupid DT's. FML.

*rallied all my units into my gas instead of a mineral patch after the gas is done

gah, ended up with 10 probes sitting in a bundle at the gas, lost the match due to lack of mins for zealots to hold off a speedling all in.
