eLim's journey to best in aus Part 3
 

So yet another week has gone by, making it two weeks I have been in Gold.
I would like to start off by saying that my sudden spike in improvement when I was in Bronze league has indeed stopped here. I have started winning very few games in a row and taking a lot of losses.
Why?

TERRAN IMBAAAAAHHHHRRHHRGGGHHHHh /nani

Nah on a serious note though, I have been trying many home-made strategies against Terran which have all been stomped repeatedly... by Marines (funnily enough).

My usual openings against Terran are still quite early hatcheries. Of course, any Terran that scouts a Zerg fast expanding will Marine rush or Bunker rush (I mEaN, wHaT eLsE iS tHeRe To Do?!??!). Funnily enough I have been losing against all of them as well >:O I just hope I can become strong enough to defend against it soon!

Again, I believe my problem is very early decision making and micro. I have been doing a little bit of maths work and I believe I can pull off 15 pool, 14 hatch and spine defense. Over the next week I plan to iron out all of my problems against Terran and practice my mechanics once again. For the record, I have not lost a game on ladder that has gone past the 12 minute mark (true story).

I'm hoping that I can reach Platinum by August, which will mean that I would have progressed from Bronze rank 75 to Platinum in 5 months. My overall goal is to reach Diamond by the end of this year.

If you would like practice matches against me (any league), my information is in my signature! (SEA only, I don't play custom matches on NA)

Until next time, may all your loading screens be quick. Latazzzz

For me with no RTS experience:
- Stuck in bronze
- Easily got to gold, then stuck there
- Easily got to diamond, now stuck here.

Yeah I came from a bunch of competitive FPS games where I was so used to being amongst the top 10 of Australia that I get infuriated at how bad I am in this game :P
But it's good because I have an intense drive to get me to the top. I just hope I'm starting to understand the game as well as I think I am >.<

Against terran or toss...wait...let me add something...or zerg...I would go pool first then hatch. 11 pool 18 hatch is safe enough and no one bunker rush you. It's the second most economical build after Idra's favourite opening due to the early queens.
