So after my disastrous start on the NA server, I decided to try my "luck" on another server. So I clicked the region button and hopped on to the korean/taiwan server. Well, after only doing my placements I came out with a 4-1 record (losing only to a fast dt 4 gate build) and got placed in gold. So all and all my first experience with global play was great. It seemed to be easier for me to predict what my opponent was going to do (things that make sense; unit compositions that work well, going for cost efficiency and a strong economy) it felt a lot better than my forray on the NA server and "Let me just bash these units heads against him like its a rock and hope it breaks" that has been my NA ladder experience since I started playing HOTS.
So a few thingsIi would like reader to think about and possibly help me with, other than the usual scouting, general game knowledge (what is better vs what ex: landed viking > helion) what little tricks/tips could you offer that you generally dont see people do? also here is an upload of my last game (at the time this was written) from the NA server. Please check out this replay and let me know what you think, what you like, and what I could do to improve.

Thanks again for reading/helping and giving me a chance. I am kind of in a hurry right now while i write this so no well-written quips or metaphors or clever similies sorry. I will try to have my next entry up in a few days, if anyone is interested, ill also start including more replay links, ( sorry no vods/youtubes, im not really sure how to do those yet if anyone wants to team up and skype cast the games with me for their channel or something send me a message). GLHF dont BM and enjoy good clean games!
