If you want to take it further, pick one Match up where you're doing a "macro" // reaction based build.

In the other 2 match ups, pick 1 type of all-in (nothing stupid like proxy rax etc). And spam it.

There is a huge stigma against practicing all-ins, but they are the builds that will increase your execution skills the fastest, as there are simple bench marks to hit.

Trying to focus on 'macro' strategies in all 3 match ups at one time is really really difficult.

This is what I used to do:

Week 1 & 2:
PvT - 3gate Voidray all-in
PvP - 3 stalker into 4gate (keke ultra cheezy)
PvZ - 'Macro' (long term oriented build) - I think it was like FFE into Robo/Twilight.

When I was happy with my PvZ Macro build, as in that I could do it without thinking, I would move to a different match up

PvT - 1 Gate FE into double forge
PvP - Still 4gate
PvZ - The same FFE into robo/twilight.

Then once I'm happy with the PvT I'd move onto something long-term oriented for PvP.

Tl;DR:
It's very difficult to learn a long-term oriented strategy in all 3 match ups at the same time. Work on one only, till you're happy, then branch into another. If you have to pause and think in the first 10~ minutes of a game, you don't know the strategy well enough.

With the all-ins you should be doing them no matter what, regardless of what you scout. Stick to it. You're aiming on execution.


Edit: If at anytime you get bogged-down in one of the new 'macro' strategies your learning, It's ok to go back to full-time all-in on the other 2 match ups. This assumes you are analysing all your replays, wins or losses (which you should be).

Thanks! I was being a bit candid but I was planning on including a couple of all-ins in my 6 - TvP I have the 111 and TvZ I have a marauder hellion all-in. Although I'll probably look to focus on macroing against zerg, since Zerg opponents always seem so eager to macro themselves

When I said I didn't cheese on ladder, I meant more specifically along the lines of proxies, or any time you cut workers early.

I appreciate the feedback so far guys, I'm starting to get an idea for how I will approach the season
