Welcome to Gaia! ::

1.LOL DONT RAGE.

This was a replay I saved shortly after the 1.1 patch where a Terran player tries to blame the Tank nerf for his own failure. I lol'd pretty good and felt it deserved to be saved just to emphasize how much whining players do when they suck at the game and refuse to blame themselves for their own incompetence.

3. OH MY DOG NOOOOOOO!!!



Probably one of my most epic games to date. I decided to try a variant to my typical build order by throwing in our amazing friendly Tier 4 unit The Ultralisk into our combination, unfortunately things don't go so well when I finally push out into my opponent's main and the whole plan goes awry.

5. Platinumwot?!



C4D somehow got paired up against a platinum player on the silver league ladder and things ended up far beyond anyone's expectations.

Just pointing this out, but this match is against a Terran, not a cheesy Protoss.

7. Don't Quit Yet!



I suffered a pretty severe hit from a 6 pooling zerg player which would have irritated many other players into a quick GG, however by sticking in and defending appropriately we see just how badly a 6 pool will affect your economy and place you well behind for the mid game. Keep this in mind for all players having troubles dealing with 6 pooling zergs.

I will also be writing up an analytical paragraph(s) sometime this week about dealing with early cheese harass and rushes, what they mean, and how to exploit them properly.

As well as another regarding mind games that come into play during some matches, what too expect and how to create mind games of your own.

Well, you did a lot better the second game. 2nd hatchery in the first game should've been an expo, but you fixed that.
I think your biggest problem would be scouting. First player scouted much, much better than you. You need to run an overlord/seer or something through the base every once in a while to get some intell on what they might be planning for next. You could have been screwed the first game if he had teched to mutas, because you wouldn't have known a thing until they popped out. And even if you're planning for 1st tier aggression, it would still be smart to get a lair. That way, it wouldn't be such a drastic stretch to get anti-air if the opponent manages to sneak out some air units. You could have access to roach and baneling upgrades as well.

I have some issues with gas timing as well, but it might help if you just put down the extractors a little earlier than you need them. You don't have to saturate right away.

You did better with pressure the second game. Constantly kept pounding it on, never really letting him make use of his expo (if you spot banelings, try and send roaches in first. They'll absorb most of the impact). Of course maybe this was because Sheepling was planning on being aggressive too. Also, might I recommend trying a 10 pool? Yes, you will sacrifice drones for time, but you'll get speed faster and have an advantage over the zerg player if they don't get meta boost as soon as you do.
