Fortunately I now use the Time method of not walling off so that hasn't happened recently.

I lost 2 games today to zergs because I thought I had a tight wall and didn't. It's just dumb mistakes on my part.

Fwiw, I'm pretty sure my points were way less than my mmr last season. I was 1.7k points but I was playing 1.8-9k. I got matched up against 2 gms and a guy who is like top 100 masters.

When I was winning games I felt like I was hitting decent timings and microing well. Now I feel like everything I do is figured out or predicted perfectly. Maybe it's just the narrow range of timings protoss has, I don't know. I feel like I can't do all kinds of all ins that I used to be able to do, but at the same time, it's super super hard to macro. Speaking about z obviously.
send a 2nd probe out after you scout the first base

yea time told me last night that the correct thing is to send the 2nd probe

Why would I do that? I can just keep my scouting probe alive. Only reason I'd do that is if I was dead set on cannon rushing.

pretty amazing. a guy telegraphs that he's going banshees. i mean he could have typed in chat "i am going to make many banshees off of 2 starports" and it would have been just as obvious. he even lets me scout it, not even giving any effort at denying the overlord. what does he do? **** it make em anyways. im terran. who cares if they saw my tech.

so i make several spores, several queens, never pull guys off gas and use my first 100 gas actually for a lair, not ling speed. i put my spire down right next to one of my spores and queens. it's probably the quickest spire ive ever built in my life.

he made 6 banshees without cloak.

i still lost the game. he just ignored all the spores and focus down my spire, killing it when it had 99% completed.

just an amazing ****ing race. no attempt to hide what tech you are going in the least bit. none. get hard countered. ???? win game.

since you're not making units since he's obv not bringing **** with those banshees you can save all your spawn larvaes for transfuses and creep... prob just unlucky/late scouting and you could have had that spire and won

i actually have no idea, but i didnt have the energy cause i actually kept up on my injects for once in my life.

im on my laptop now, but i should screenshot how close that ****ing thing was to finishing. even if he insta kills it after i put the mutas in production, it doesnt really matter. i pretty much insta win right there.

Pretty sure you can't inject buildings under construction.

No worries Karak, I'll be along shortly to open the gap back up.

Or lose to more terran horsecockery.

no you can't. if you think about it, that would essentially mean that you can make a building build faster with transfuse which would be OP.

variance: i'm back baby! my run in gold is over, promoted back to plat. woo hoo. this depresses me. when i was in gold for the 20 or so games, it gave me something to shoot for, i knew i could make it to plat, just needed to play more. now i'm back in plat, where i've languished for months and months. i suppose if i really really try i could make it to diamond. but yeah, that sounds like a lot of effort.
