It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

Here is my small wrap up on my games of last night.
(May also seem like I am making excuses as well, But here we go .)
Before last nights match I played some quick matches, nothing serious with a few people.
Trying to get back into what had been like 4-5 days with doing ladder matches. (Sigh Tafe and just been tired.)
during these games I was missing even major things.. my timings were off not macroing and just not performing at a good standed. So going into these matches i was nervous to a point where i was pretty much shaking. Usually when i go into a match i am calm and just think of it as like a promotion game, The kind where you are rank 1 in the ladder and you know you are about to get promoted where every match counts. so usually not nervous at all. just play it out and what happened happens.
Game 1:
So nervous! go into this game just focused on getting my timings right. previous to the game i looked at some of benAD's builds and noticed it countered my build. however with game 1 I continued to do my standerd PvP build... a 5:30 4 gate. to push up his ramp and take the first game.
Game2: This is where I eased up a little.. but a little to much when I looked at BenAD's matches i saw he did a very strong aggression very early on. The problem for me was since I eased up a little i was tossing up the choice of 4 gating or proxy 2 gating. Here is where i messed up to start with. Moving my probe out of my base he gets ot the bottom of hte ramp and i then decided no to proxy to gate cause i am not a big fan of cheese in tournaments.so i pull my probe back and get my 9th pylon down like 10-15 seconds late -.-'
So from this i know my 4 gate build is going to fail so i go for more of a somewhat standardised play. and try and go for blink stalkers. This is a build i have rarely even tried.let alone practised in any shape or form. it came to the 6 min. mark and benAD was pushing up my ramp with that very strong aggression push just before my blink was finished if i remembered right. however something that i really did wrong this game was not getting my 2 gates down until i had 600 mins -.- WTF?!? i know. i know as soon as he came to my ramp it was over. I attempted to hold off with just probes however it was not enough. and went down in the second game.
Game 3 .. ....................................No comment. ..............................................
Dont take it too hard, they were very close games and I mean I died cause i missed a bloody forcefield slightly in game 1... I was about to get my immortals going to, had the resources but was too busy cleaning up my fail field lol. I really need more practice holding 4 gates! I should of had the immortal going sooner... And i should not of chrono'd out the zealot, that was me panicing!
In game two, it seems you just mind gamed yourself from watching the replay. I do that sometimes as well, go in thinking I'll do a build and change my mind and then you lose all your timings and end up with a build thats not quite optimised enough to live.
And game three, if you push up straight away I die. If you see that pylon I die. I was very lucky.
I definitely look forward to playing some more against you, there are some good protoss in Tier 5... We should all get together for a PvP mini tournament.. At least it would be quick :P
