Another week, another thread of pleading for help... oh well.
Basically, I know my early game macro is good - nothing special, but solid nonetheless (I've been told it's Gold/Platinum level). I run with a 3 Rax, MM Stim Push in every match-up. My problems start if my push is repelled, or worse, destroyed. I have no idea what to do (other than get Medivacs for MMM), my macro falls to bits, my army size suffers and my economy barely scrapes by. 9 time out of 10 this results in me getting harassed to death, or steamrollered by a 200/200 army while mine is lucky to be 150/200. I've watched my replays and have concluded these are the things I need to work on:
Scouting
Mid and Late Game Macro
Expanding
Dealing with drops
If these four areas could be improved, I could probably make high-Silver or even Gold. But in-game, I just can't wrap my head around scouting properly, expanding correctly and macro-ing past the first ten minutes. Trying to focus on them usually results in another aspect or more of my game slipping. So, what should I do to improve these problematic areas?
On a similar note, should I use different builds in certain match ups? For example, in TvT, the popular 1 Rax Fact build almost always beats my opener due to the early Siege Tanks. Should I just try to out-macro my opponent, or use a different opener myself?
Could write more about each individual area I'm having trouble with, but I might do that later (with associated replays) as this thread might get one lone reply from a troll saying "tl;dr".
