Once you practice a style for too long you get kind of "skill capped" where you've figured everything out for that strategy and mechanics are the only thing that you're improving. As a Protoss player, close to flawless macro mechanics aren't that hard to achieve (less than t/z imo), so it ends up being about the engagements you take and your micro.

I think you should try to evolve your strategies to suit the current metagame, from what I've been seeing in proleague and GSL I think this is the best way to become a successful player.
