I am starting to feel pretty confident in the way that I'm opening up the game. I'm handling early aggression well and I'm also scouting fairly consistently (checking ramp with a probe, flying a hallucinated phoenix or sending over an observer).
My macro/multitasking is absolutely atrocious on the ladder. The worst is expanding and not building enough production facilities to keep up, or I completely lose track of making probes, or I miss a warp-in cycle. I'm less likely to miss warp-ins if a conflict is going on. I key/cycle my nexus, gates and robo but it's easy to lose track of doing it. I just need to focus.
My decision making is getting better. I had a couple of urp derp moments last night (6-2) but for the most part I'm not being totally stupid. Overall my game sense is going up from watching all of these games and practicing.
Right now I'm chilling in Gold which is where I feel like I should be right now. Right now my goal is to feel absolutely confident in my macro. I can't miss building production facilities that end up blowing up my mineral count. That's just stupid.
I need to finish up a feature in colorflys and then it's back into practice mode. I need to practice this multitasking/macro goodness. By the way, what kind of production facilities can a gold base support? 5-6 gates? Are there any multitasking maps that you use?
