Zomgs, a newbie Tuesday about HOTS! Just finished the 1st part and felt improvised. On the 1st part our god Day[9] showed how reacting wrongly to unraveled weakness can end up badly. Seems that you need to be familiar with your own build and the quality of your opponents weakness. While the latter remained a bit unclear for me, the former stroked me.
Reacting with your build:
1) Your strategy is defined by your buildings
2) You aim to produce the desired buildings as fast as possible
3) The speed you can build your buildings is slowed down by how much you make defending units
--> if you opponent does not have string force many units you can cut your defending units
--> if you weaken your opponents economy you need to be able to have better economy

PvP practicing
http://day9.tv/d/Day9/day9-daily-439-huks-pvp-dt-play/
The plan
1) Relatively fast DT --> go poke with 2 dt:s
gate
gass
core
gass
twilight
2 gates
dt shrine
2 gates
exp
twilight
dt shrine
2) Expand with zealots & archons --> try to kill off with chargelot archon army
exp
2 gates
charge
2 guys in gass
3) 2 Robo play --> attack with 3 colossai
Robo
2 gass (not too early)
bay
forge
+1 attack
2nd Robo
push with 3 colossai
Finding out benchmarks
Generally good benchmarks are when you star building (put down) a key tech building, gate/rax number achieved, expansion timings, upgrade timings and if your plan involves an attack, the number of each unit in your attack.
1)
twilight put down
dt shrine put down
2 dt:s in enemy base timing
2)
nexus put down
charge ready
2 gates ready
2 archons ready
2 archons + chargelot army @ enemy base + zealot count
3)
Robo put down
Bay put down
+1 attack ready
2nd Robo put down
3 colossai ready
3 colossai at the enemy base timing + army composition
The plan
1) Relatively fast DT --> go poke with 2 dt:s
gate
gass
core
gass
twilight
2 gates
dt shrine
- twilight only after scouting opponent
- against aggressive builds kill the probe with stalker
- mostly warp stalkers as a defence
2 gates
exp
twilight
dt shrine
2) Expand with zealots & archons --> try to kill off with chargelot archon army
exp
2 gates
charge
2 guys in gass
3) 2 Robo play --> attack with 3 colossai
Robo
2 gass (not too early)
bay
forge
+1 attack
2nd Robo
push with 3 colossai
Finding out benchmarks
Generally good benchmarks are when you star building (put down) a key tech building, gate/rax number achieved, expansion timings, upgrade timings and if your plan involves an attack, the number of each unit in your attack.

sumHots drafting
- fast oracle
* gate - core - stargate
- expand
- make 4 tempest -> attack
--> mommaship core seems nice - especially the slowpokefield, early can be used to defend

PvZ - PartinGs immortal sentry allin
I decided to try to grab a new build for my PvZ. To get things started I searched day9.tv for PvZs and the episode #522 caught my eye. I watched the episode and gathered a structure for the build:
The build starts with a fast expand:
16 nexus
17 forge
17 gate
3:30 cannon (because 3:30 the 1st lings will appear in his base)
2 x gass
chrono the 1st stalker use it to deny scouty overlards
go 4:15 to check if there is a 3rd base, if not add another cannon?
Build an early robo and add gates:
5:30 robo + 3rd gass
chrono out immortals
1st immortal & +1 attack
2nd immortal & 4th gass
3rd immortal -> stop making probes
as you have money add gates up to 7-8
Attack with 7 sentries, 3 immortals & wp before 9:15
During travel to his base add zealots and sentries and stalkers (mainly zealots)
During attack micro with wp
If the opponent remains in game prepare for 3 base, 3 colo & stalker allin
warp a round of sentries into base
add twilight
add bay
add 3rd base
build colo 1st, then range
add 4-5 gates
attack when 3 colossai
Now I only need so benchmarks before trying spam practice:
forge put down
forge ready
cannon put down
gate put down
core put down
robo put down
3rd immortal popping out
8 gates
when does the attack start moving out
units @ 9:15
units @ 9:30
units @ 10:00
units @ 10:30
twilight & bay
3rd base
1st colossus
3rd colossus
2nd attack
units @ 2nd attack

Update on progress and upcomming practice plans
Argh! I have been so lazy during this month. Somehow the ladder seems scarier than ever. Earlier I loaded a ton of master and gm level replays from drop.sc. I was aiming to find 3 builds for each match up. However, after having a brief discussion with my coach, I was confident that I should 1st get only one for each match up and practice the hell out of those.
Now that is something that I realized just recently. I have been swinging new builds a couple of times (5-10) before hitting the ladder. Then I spent a week practicing this one build by myself. Seems that the best way for me to get a build going nicely would be to just repeat - repeat - repeat it against bot or alone.
As a new years resolution, I have decided to play at least 5 ladder games each day. Not today though - because of the hangover :D
