Advice about my Game [Reply Attached]

[Yaqoob]

Hey...

I justed started playing Starcraft for Real, I mean I dropped the Money Maps and all that Garbage, so I just played a game, were I actually tried to build probe as much as I could..(as long as I remembered)...

Hopefully, someone could give me advice on my Micro/Macro, my Build, Probe Production, anything that could make me a better player, and usually I stick to Protoss..

Also, the people I was playing against were not that good, especially the Terran at 6'oclock, he was playing really noob

Also, If theFazant, Hayley, or Sambo83 is around, maybe they could give me some advice concerning my game play...

Hi...

so...is anyone going to help me out..some advice would be nice...cause I really want to improve my game-play.

just a little tip: block ur entrance with 2-3 zeals + dragoons behind, never leave it open, cuz if the vultures get in, ur gonna have mines all around ur base, and THAT is bad

u also definitely need to work on ur macro...ur had over 2000 minerals at the end of the game...

Heh. I'm about the same skill as sambo... Might take aswell a look on that a bit later... I'll give you an advice tomorrow by the latest...

Ok... Ill give you the advice now.

1:30 ( about ) You take alot of time before you start your gateway, like, you have 150 minerals, and still get atleast 24-32 more until you build it. Try to practice with taking less time things such as probe faster to mine, etc. :)

take your units to the ramp...

4:20 you're getting more money than you are able to spend. (about 300-400) Make another gateway.(once if the spending goes a bit over 200... or something like that) It should be made anyway usually after cybernetics facility, since otherwise they might get more units, and which is very possible since this was an 2v2. So, rarely you will not need to do a second gateway here...

4:30 ya, you made it now, but you got too much money unspent before you did it...

5:28 you had like 2 probes idle on there doing nothing, and you were not attacking... besides, take a goon or two to your ramp, and the same thing to guard you expansion....

5:43 too late pylon. You got 33/33 before you made another one. You need to practise on this one.

6:30 you transfered more probes to your expansion than you have in your main. Also, I dont suggest making too much zealots until you have zealot speed except if there is a Zerg against you or something like that

6:40 I noticed you dont have observers coming yet. Too late it would be if the protoss would fast dark templar or terran go with vults, lay mines at base, and attack your probes...
once your expansion finishes, you soon need to make a cannon or two so they cant harass you with vults so well...

9:05 too late you made more gateways... and still have over 470 minerals at your bank. You could make a third one more


you need more than 2 observers. One at your base, others over maps and at your enemys base scouting:
1.when they go.
2.where they go
3.what they do (expand etc)

11:10 you moved your units without micro to your enemys base, and just MOVED them close to it. What if a few siege tanks or smthing would have started to fire them? :P
Watch at your MoNEY!!! You can send your units to attack, make more goons etc (fast) and then micro with ur units. Repeat ;D

11:50 i notice you are making like... 3 units from same gateways. Not good. Rather make atleast 2-3 more gateways, and AT maximum two coming same time. ( the first one halfway or smthing...)

You need to upgrade your tech tree. psiobic storm and a few dark templar sound good, dont they?

also watch your money, and expand since you have the advantage and already money unspent...

14:20 micro those goons... Zeals attacking 'em. Just move away the one they try to attack, while other goons still attack or smthing...

that was it . Some mistakes repeated tho, so I wont mention them here.
