Day 8 – I heart single-base pushes

 

Game A


v Terran (OneToTheHead)
Win

What went wrong?
  • 3rd base late
  • 4th base late
  • Hoarded my overloads instead of scouting
  • Still stuck to the only 3 units I know
  • Neglected my 2nd wave of bane on final bane-muta-bane combo
What went right?
  • Quick reaction when scouting proxy barracks
  • Relatively constant scouting (best use of 6 lings ever)
  • (Luck) Enemy was REALLY determined on dropping
  • (Luck) Bane hit when most of army was in medivacs
  • Timing of bane-muta combo
  • Decent muta micro

 

Game B


v Zerg (Revo)
Loss

What went wrong?
  • Out-macro-ed
  • Didn’t expand quickly enough
  • Didn’t counter roaches well
  • Threw away mutas on hopeless head-to-heads
What went right?
  • Didn’t give up even after first big loss

Today’s thoughts

  • Watched a few Day[9] Newbie Tuesdays. Lots of stuff to learn! I’m starting to see trends in my play so, hopefully soon, I’ll start having some tangible items to work on. (Although I will admit that just trying to improve “in general” is refreshing.)
  • Also, I treated myself today and spent a few hours going through the perusing the campaign on normal and achievement sniping. Good times.
