my quick 2cents, if your in silver league the main thing you should be focusing on is macro, you said yourself your having trouble early game, and can sometimes win after 14mins, so work on that, i play terran so im not sure of specifics but you want to be thinking about taking your third by that time and should have a few collosi/stalkers/zealots/sentries by then, i started in bronze and the thing that got me out was macro, and help from clan mates (ToR ) so focus on keeping those minerals low, getting good engagements and not throwing away units, also warp prism with zealots is good for killing scvs, anyway im sure the guys in the ToR chat will be happy to help out, i know we have a few good toss
That's what everyone has told me to do, but that's easier said then done... It's the early push that they do usually wins them the games.. They have stim AND marauder slow so my units do literally nothing to them.. I can't get charge that quick or if I do then I don't have enough units to kill them or even damage their troops because it's GG. If I try and focus on econ and get a fairly average expand time around 6 minutes, they are doing a 1 base all in play which destroys me.
Long story short, If I focus on Macro I lose because I don't have enough units.
If I focus on Units then I don't have enough econ to keep warping in/teching up.
Some people in the chat have also told me I need to watch replays and look at their builds..
I do that, In fact I'm doing that right now. The problem here is that, I'm not vsing pros. I'm vsing bronze/silver and the occasional gold player and lose to their all in bullshit.
Also about the warp prism, If I try and get a warp prism out(200 minerals) and then try and get a few zealots into it(100-400 minerals) that means I'm 100-600 minerals short of units at my front door I could use to help defend my ramp. If my Macro is slipping that game and I have the 'extra' to send up to his base then I usually do. But most games my macro is fairly decent and I keep minerals/gas under 100 most of the time.
