I would like some confirmation on my playstyle and perhaps my downfalls as to why I am destined to be Silver for Life! I feel that my mechanics / macro are good (always room for improvement but I do belive it is higher than silver). I am constantly loosing matches that I am generally ahead in and I look back on my replays and wonder how did I loose that?

I believe my weakness lies in my reactive scouting / unit comp and my engagements. This is were I really need some work so I will lay out my thought process below and see if anyone can pick up some obvious shortfalls.

My general approach to my games:

Scouting:

Vs Zerg - Look for spawning pool timing / gas

6-10 Pool (Rush, if early Gas then prob speedlings)
11-13 Pool (1 Base Build, 1 Gas Cont. Roach, 2 Gas prob Muta)
14+ (Fast Expo Build, need to pressure)

Vs Terran - Scout building / gas

Early Gas (tech rush, banshee)
Barracks (Infantry: Marines, Marauders, or Reapers )
If second building is:
Barracks (Infantry Rush: Marines, Marauders, or Reapers )
Factory (Not a rush: 1/1/1?)
If third building is:
Starport (1/1/1)
Factory (Mech Play)

Vs Protoss - This is a stupid MU but generally just scout for rushes and try to react to any of the following

Proxy Gates
4 Gates
3 Gate Robo

This is generally what I look for and try to react accordingly. Discouting cheese I then try to macro up, grab expo safely and out macro my opponent. When I have either a few immortals or collosus I generally move out.

TvP is my worst MU atm so here are my most recent ladder matches for them (I can also say I am confident in my FF use althought these two replays dont show it which may have been the very reason I lost the game):

PvT Replay 1
PvT Replay 2

I am in a slump atm with the game as I have been playing for sooooo long but have yet to progress past silver. I did get gold in NA the other day but unless I can identify my problems I doubt I will ever progress past my current league.

You advise would be appreciated... even if you just tell me im a NOOB and need to work on my micro
