1) Lost to a platinum Zerg
Pool - expand - nothing but drones - expand
A 3 basing zerg can tech faster because it has 6 gasses. But if he techs faster he wont have as much units. Do not allow this. If you keep attacking zerg he can not pile up larva and will feed you manageable piles of units.

|
| Allowed to take fast 3rd. | Did not attack. | Could have made huge damage if had attacked so that attack would have arrived @ 10min. Next time just attack if there is a 3rd. |
| Allowed zerg to held vision. | Did not take xelnaga. Too few observers. | Force yourself to have vision and to knowin what stage is his army: size, unit composition, upgrades. |
| +1s upgraded nicely but then.. :( | Did not have money to make twilight and then forgot to make. | What is the price for twilight? Just wait till this amount and then make it. 150 minerals, 100 gass. |
| Drop destroyed robobay. | Was too available for an attack. | Better protection by other buildings. Try to place into the heart of the building pile or between main and nat. |
| Should have pushed @ 12 minutes. | Was afraid that he had too many units. | 4 expansions even with three should be around equal.. so no way whould have had enough units. |
| Lost 3rd. | Units were not in place to protect 3rd. | Leave someone at tower and keep between 3rd and nat to protect both. |
| Teching to colossos against zerglings. | Zerglings just die lol :D | Make colossus and have zergling barbeque. |
| Did not tech to stargates. | Didn't have the will to do it? | Voidrays are nice against roaches & zerglings. Momma ship.. Carriers would be nice to try. |
| Getting reinforcements was hard. | No forward pylon. | Make a forward pylon before or around when you attack. If zerg takes a fast 3rd, make a forward pylon near to it. |
| Poor army exchange rate. | Army got split by terrain. | Try to make sure that army walks together and is not split. |
| Gaps in probe production. |
Was focusing on the army. |
Keep in mind to all the time check that you are macroing while looking at the army. |

|
| The attack to punish from 3rd was too weak. | At first ok trades, but then started to feed groups with too few units. Timing was nice. | Should have made gates earlier and retreated to some soft of warping point. Expanding behind all this if enough money? |
| Map control was nonexistent. | No dudes at towers, no observers. | Take the towers. Make observers, scout by drops. |
| Zerg was ahead in upgrades. | Zerg had two evos, I only one forge. | Add another forge+twilight after +1 armor is ½ way. |
| Nexai were full of energy. | Being protoss no use ;p. Didn't think about chronoing. | Keep the chrono spent up. |
| Made twilight early enough. |
|
|
| Lost 3rd. | Units attacked but did not come back to protect. | Take map control and position army surroundishly? |
|

|
| Map control was better but not too good. | Did not have the towers. | Fukken take the Xelnaga towers already man XD |
| Did not know that had taken 3rd before natural. | Could have made gate before cannon. | Make a gate before forge :3 |
| A gap in upgrades. | Did not remember twilight? | Remember so good damn twilights. |
| Reinforcements had to travel a long long distance. | Forward pylons need to be closer so that army does not weaken during the battle. | Move army to a spot, make pylon there. |
| Could not see burrowed roaches. | No observer within the army. | Have an observer with the army. |
| Was able to keep 3rd. | Had army in position. However, no huge attack really came.. | ??? |
| Nexai were almost full of energy. | Did not use chrono. | Chrono upgrades, stargates, gates.. during the later game. |
Zerg buildings are bio so archons could shoot them down very very fast?

| Exp - gate - pylon - forge | Saw a very late pool | Do this! |
| Scouted main, natural, 3rd, main, 3rds | Got information about late pool, about 3 bases. | Nice <3 |
| Minerals floated | Because was not looking at munnys. | Check the minerals and supplies more often. |
| Did not expand. | Was arrogant and certain about the win. | Do the expandey and teching before attack. |
| Attacked before +1 armor got ready. | Was in a hurry to stop the zergian macro. | Chrono upgrades and robo and probes. Check the upgrade status before attack. |
| Only 3 sentries and not too much energy. | Could have used more ff:s | Make more sentries early on. |
| Moved out to attack early enough. | Zerg didn't really have units when was already in position. | Be as aggressive with you attack. |
| The other forward pylon was nice. |
Was close enough. |
Do them pylons aggressively enough. But not too soon. |
| Could not build robo as soon as wanted. |
There was not enough gass because built a sentry. Would have been enough if had built a stalker. |
Build a stalker, then robo, then start making them sentries. |
| Moderate supply blocks occurring after 40 supply. |
Supply provided by one pylon was quickly eaten up. |
Start to make 2 pylons after hitting 40 supply? |

6) Won a gold Zerg
15 pool, fast inferstors on 3 bases
| What went wrong/good
| Why went wrong/good
| Next time
|
| Went nexus first | No very early aggression. Long map distances. | In this map should be ok. |
| Did not right away notice that probe had found enemy base. But noticed quite soon. | Was in a hurry making gate. | Keep eye on the scouting probe. |
| Did not scout pool, scouted gasses. | Did not find it interesting. |
|
| Went gate before forge. | Faster gateway tech. |
|
| Robo could have been earlier. | Was not enough gass because used it for getting +1. | Make robo before getting +1 attack. |
| Pylon is sort of close to front line. | Could be easily sniped by roaches? | Practice walling in this map (Condemned Ridge) |
| Did not see how he was turtling up with spine crawlers. This means he is teching. | Did not scout the ramp of 2nd. | Scout 3rd and 2nd to see if turtling, if is then expand maybe faster? or tech at ease? |
| Cleaned 3rd before expanding. | Probe did not die during expanding. | Do this but..(see next) |
| Allowed army composition to be revealed. | Killed lings on 3rd with whole army. Was standing with whole army in tower visibility range. | Clean 3rd with few units. Take towers. |
| Forward pylon at the hole in the center was spared. | Could not be seen from watch towers. | Use this spot but on the other side so is closer to enemy. |
| A lot of stalkers (5) died during the attack. | Were fungaled. | Try to avoid getting fungaled. |
| Army movements were completely visible to opponent. | Opponent had towers. | Try to get map control by having ze towers. |
| Was shooting hatch instead of units. | New units hatched and did not react to that. | Watch army and force it to shoot units as they hatch. |
| Did not fully utilize terrain for wallin 3rd. | The effect of bushes to visibility was not used. | Try to use bushes to cover you buildings making the wall. |
Check how the other player reacts to the information he gains from you
by scouting and think how to prevent this and gain the benefic of
suprise.
7) Won a gold Zerg - a really thrilling game <3
15 pool, gass, exp, mutas --> 2 base muta into exp

| Next time
|
| Went forge, nexus, pylon. | Nexus could have been earlier? 1st lings out @ 4mins + time to travel. | The same? |
| Core was not immediately when it could have. | Because was looking at the scout probe. | Try to macro better even if looking at the probe. |
| Supply block at 52. | Maybe was forgetting to build pylons. | Be aware that this is a problematic time in your macro. |
| Was not aware of the 3rd base too soon. | Did not scout actively | Make sure that you have as many expansions as the zerg == you are ahead. |
| 1st defence against mutas nice. But too little information. | Mutas killed all visible scouts. | Against a muta player make good obs positions to be able to get there before attack comes. |
| No forward pylon. | Was destroyed. | Should have rebuilt forward pylons or built them into more hideen places. |
| Expansion timing was great. | Was putting some pressure. A pressured mutalisker has to defend and can not attack. | Pressure more. |
| Immortals were doing nothing. |
Can not shoot air. |
Make immortals and zealots to attack something on the ground and stalkers to attack mutas. |
| Could not make upgrades nicely. |
There was no twilight. |
Remember to make the twilight during the +1 armor upgrade. |
| Immortals got raped by mutas. |
There were no stalkers to protect them. |
Make sure to warp in stalkers nearby or retreat before losing stalkers. |
| Fought in the vicinity of spines. |
Spines nicely snipe stalkers. |
Do not fight near spines if the opponent has units but try to find a better location. In here could have been backed up to ramp and still would have been able to give pressure. |
| Army was mispositioned when was on 3 bases. |
Wanted also to have short distance to main. |
More map visibility by observers around main base and cannons not into the back but to form defence lines. |
| Templars late. |
Was too scared to tech. |
Do not be scared. Templars are just so op against mutas. If you see mutas tech to templars as fast as possible. |
| Was not aware of zerg tech. |
Lazy scouting. |
Try to have the enthusiasm to be aware. Like with terran. Otherwise it will be surprise broodlard tiem. |
| 4th expansion late. |
Money was running out. |
Should have expanded to 4th, but when? Before 20mins? Zerg was on 3 bases so basically should have been ok. |
| Did not do too much droppery harrash. |
Only one prism. Not doing simultaneously with main army fights to cause more trouble. |
Try to use several prisms and do drops during or right before engagements or as blind. Practice how to do blind drops. |
| Nice scouting. |
Long, was able to gather quite a bit of information. Observer arrived quite soon after final probe had died and was able to see spire. |
Try to see how many bases, how many gasses, what tech. |
| Was able to wallin corretly even if was Daybreak |
Had practiced and taken pictures. |
This seems like a suitable way to learn. |

| Did not scout nydus. | Observer was not early enough there. | If see teching into lair expect nydus? |

| Saw huge pile of spine crawlers - did not attack | Immortals would have melted them.. | Just try to go. |
| A ling was blocking expansion | Did not sent anything to kill it before sending probe | Make sure with could of units that 3rd is cleaned |
| Lost all units to zerg @ 16-17 because he gained the upgrade advantage |
Did not keep in mind? |
Maek them fukken ups.. |

| Did not know what the zerg was teching into. | No observers, no drop scouting. | More observers. |
| Was aware of base count. | Wanted to really know if there was and thus actively scouted. | the same |
| Could have / should have teched earlier to colossai. |
Was too afraid to make the bay. |
Try to build the bay before 14:47. |
| Colossus was super effective against speedlings. Colossus is good against pretty every ground unit (not ultralisk)? |
- |
Make colossus and secure 3rd with it. |
| Nice protecting ff:s |
Enough sentries and made them early enough. |
Try to have 4 sentries early and >8 midd and late. |
| Floated minerals after warpgates were morphed around 9mins. |
Did not warp in frequently enough. |
Check warpgates more often. |
| A pause in upgrades. |
Twilight was late and took long before made +2 weapons up. |
Put twilight down earlier, when the +1 armor is ½ way. |
| Forward pylon a bit too far. |
Takes time for reinforcemenst to come. |
Make more offensive forward pylon. |
