I learned from Game 8. I positioned my attacking force better on this map. Good good! However, I was again not aggressive enough. I could have ended this earlier.

Worth watching: Nah. Very late pool by the zerg, which made my game easy.

I accidentally ran for a long time on only two gateways. This slowed my Stalker production considerably.

I did a better job at droning. But I should have played more aggressively. The game could have ended earlier. This is again due to bad scouting and I could have run an observer around his back. I did not know the size of the enemies army so I stood cautiously outside his base until I saw an opening. The Cannons were annoying. Blink would have been useful.

Pretty easy game. Steamrolled the Zerg. I could have repositioned my Stalkers earlier to cut losses. I inadvertently positioned them between both hatches. I’ll have to remember that. In other games this could mean life or death, as the Zealots could not tank properly.

As said in the two earlier posts. I was/am tired. I should not even have started this game. There is nothing more to say.

The enemy went 4gate. I managed to deceive him though with my scouting probe. So he pushed towards the wrong base. Still. I should have been able to hold that off.
Around the 12 min mark, the enemy went DTs. I was lucky to have an obs in my stalker ball. So I could deal with it. It looked good until I totally missed that I had been attacked again in my main. I lost everything. I was about to quit, but decided to give it a try nevertheless. I managed to get back on my feet. Still. I was way behind in my economy. I did not stand a chance.

Again. I felt tired the entire game. I really should take this into account when playing…

Pretty boring and standard game. Stalkers + Colossi = Win. Some Banshee harassment from the Terran, but that was to be expected. Mediocre macro from me though. I could have done better. Guess I’m tired.

Things Learned:

• Scout earlier, better. I’ve done a much better job in earlier games. This would tell me that I should have …
• … build my Colossus much earlier!
• Keep an eye out for drops (again, scouting related)
• In the macro game, drone production is not over. Continue building!
• If the money gets high, build infrastructure

Nothing really spectacular to see here. Only noteworthy thing: I start forgetting about drone production in the early mid/macro-game.

Messed up the Force Field on the early push >_<

This was the first time I played a game right after getting home from work. Clearly, my mind is not up to speed yet. Also, as I haven’t been home all day so the heating has not yet kicked in. My hands were already freezing before even thinking about Starcraft. This is definitely not a good state to play in. Best wait for the weekend. Mid-week gaming may best be done in mid-spring when temperatures are higher. Or,… I could insulate my office…
