also thanks to probe1 and HDream for their replys, any feedback from them is also appreciated

So I see prooss doing really well in GSTL using double forge and getting to 3-3 Collosus ultra fast. I expect this style to remain strong for quite awhile.

What I wanna know is why did this style suddenly fall from grace? Toss were winning games doing this several GSL seasons ago and then all of a sudden they just stopped using it. Was there some metagame shift that started to crush this? I know it wasn't 1/1/1 from T because that wasn't popular while the 2 forges was

Could someone list all the Blizzard maps that don't allow certain spawn positions? The only one I'm aware of is no close ground positions on Shakuras. I luckily heard this from a friend; I've searched Liquipedia and the Blizzard forums but found nothing on the topic.

I am a high gold level zerg player and all my friends tell me I have the skill to be platinum and a lot say I am even better than them it is just my decision making that has me up in knots. And I totally agree. From what I see I finish a lot of games doing really good its just that what I see I dont respond correctly, a lot of times I lose my entire army doing incredibly stupid things. I started playing on KR servers and got to gold there as well but there it is even easier to do incredibly stupid things. Sometimes I see massss zerglings and instead of doing banelings or something I go "oh I can just make more roaches" it is almost instantly after the game that I nkow what I could have done. But I just go into next game messing up again. How can I overcome this decision barrier? It plays a role in how I micro/ When to drone or army/ when to expand/ what units to make ect. I just feel like i have the skill and mechanics down I just dont know what to do in tough decisions. I dont rage or anything so thats good but I just make the dumbest mistakes. I just played literally 3 games in a row where I was ahead and my army could easily kill his but I made a stupid decision like "lets set army here instead of at home" or something. It also seems in a lot of games if the oponent waited even 5 seconds longer I would have won but since he came out at just the wrong time I lost.

gee thanks.. not

I play about 30 games a day on weekends and fridays so "play more" doesnt really help me at all. I am looking for some nice short and sweet guide on what to look out for or a link to a recource or something. I keep having this bad decision making problem and I dont know where it come from


for example if I see someone take a fast expo instead of expanding myself like I know I should I just get this idea in my head that if I do an all in I will win and 90% of the time it doesnt work but I just do it anyways.

Wtf did you expect? An essay? You're just in gold league, one of the things you need to work on is decision making. What am I supposed to tell you, to be smart? Not be stupid? Just play more, learn what to do and when to do it. What is the problem? Honestly, what kind of resource or guide did you expect?

Its just that I have had this problem forever and while my skill level is going up my decision making has yet to improve, i was asking if there was a way to somehow practice decision making just like one might practice macro or something, I wanted to find a way to improve the decision making and start winning again. It seems that for almost ever the only reason I win a game is if I happen to outmacro my opponent and get lucky on unit choice, ie. mass roach or something and happen to kill the protoss because i have so many bases, even though he went for immortals or something.
