Would like to have some pointers out on why I lost this game. First 1-2 engagments, I won him. Maybe I was scared to all in after the first engagement, which allowed him to reinforce his army more ?

Even though you were beating him in almost every engagement, he still won because you never attacked him back. So in the end, he had all six bases on his side of the map, while you were forced to stay on three. So he had pretty much twice as much money as you.




If you can kill an entire army, and you still have a big army (3 colossus, 2 immortals, decent amount of gateway units) you should just counterattack. Almost 100% of the time he won't be able to remake his army in time.


So you were doing alright, but his counter attack plays got him back into the game since it forced you to defend.



If you walled off as shown, that would have delayed the roaches by about 15 seconds. Then if you kept a sentry there, that would have delayed the roaches by another 15 seconds. 30 seconds would be enough for your army to return and force him back, or even kill all of the roaches if he isn't paying attention.

And that's the main reason you lost the game I think. Maybe if you build a couple of observers and put them outside your base you can spot his army movement earlier, and respond earlier as well.


Also I suggest you learn how to forge fast expand more efficiently. This is important. Your opening put your economy very behind your opponent's.
