EPTIm back with 2 more placement matches down. I took your advice and ran with a 2 rax build, first opponent was Zerg i decided to send out a scout as i was building my first rax to try and scout the fast expand. I was sucessful in blocking said expand for a little while and retreated to wait for my first marine upon returning the forward scout to his expansion to start a bunker. I spotted his lings and made for a rapid retreat. One thing i noticed this match is again supply cap and continous production is an area i struggle to maintain hoping to plan some friendly matches in the near future to aggressively focus on the devlopment of these critical errors probably should have build more tanks not to mention expanded at least once more and made sure i take the gas atmy natural in a more timely manner i managed to score another victory with this match.
The replay for this match shall be added when i get home from work.

Now to the second opponent. A mirror match ... ye ol' tvt. Tbh im pretty sketchy with tvp i dont think im as aggressive as i should be with my build choices. This match was VERY back and forth for me with a late expand i was suffering on the gas intake to support mech/sky production... i decided to do some bashee harass which turned out to be fairly effective in disrupting his mining i held a drop off to the side deciding to hold off on its deployment as i figured his siege tank placement would cover his production this match just proves how important scouting is, if it wasnt for my banshee's. Spotting of his2 other expansions i would not have pushed out when i did. And the decision to then recall those forces straight back to base provided the perfect pincer. Again scv's expansion timing scouting and supply blocking seem to be my major issues. I hope to have you pick apart these replays when i load them up, i'll edit them into the post as soon as i get home
Enjoy
