Hi all I'm a silver terran who has just started playing sc2 again since wol early 2012. I've been having trouble with toss, in general I feel I understand the matchup and what counters what but I still lose most of my tvp's. I know terran is a race that needs to be active and I'm trying to be but its just so hard when a toss turtles. I swear It's impossible to get ranked up leagues too.

Ive supplied a replay, excuse my anger at the end of the game I felt like I was playing well and he just walked over me.
I myself feel the reason I lost was just handling engagements badly and I probably should have taken a fourth base when I killed his third and tried to pressure his new third since it felt like he was on the back foot.

Hi there, I'm a gold Terran and i feel i have some advice i can offer. I'm by no means good but i do have some thoughts. first question, why was combat shield and concussion shells never researched? did you just forget? combat shield i feel is a must have because when you stim marines you will have an extra +10 hp still and every little bit helps. I would also say you may have too many Barracks with TechLab. Try to have a few more with Reactors so you can mass produce Marines and still mix is marauders as well. If i have say 9 Barracks, I would not want more than 4 with tech lab.

I just did a quick custom game VS a very easy Protoss so i wouldn't get harassed. I used my preferred build to give a demonstration as to my method. Its a pretty easy build to execute providing you don't miss SCV's. The goal is to have 50 SCV's by the 10 minute mark when you move out with your forces. I was slightly off the mark but it gives you a base to work on. The 3rd & 4th medvac could be swapped to vikings if you scout collosi also. This is the build I used Vs Protoss as I was trying to get out of Silver league at the end of Wings/ beginning of HotS. Feel free to add me in game or message me if you have any questions, or feel like a game any time

Yeah concuss/ combatshields were suposed to be researched, I also should have got 3/3 earlier and just skipped a few units for it. I probably did make too many tech labs but Ive always had trouble against storm and collosi so It makes the micro easier on me. My build was really messed up since he went for pressure so I had to switch it up a bit. Your build I used to do in wings but I feel its too weak now against the mothership core since it flys over, beats like 3 marines and stops scouting so easily so I go reaper to keep him in his base or I try this build that I was going for from iaguz (I think he said its taejas) the widowmine drop.

I watched my replay again and I think my control lost it for me overall, in my second big engagement at his natural i tried to drop but forgot to remake my control group and half my army move commanded into his thats when he attacked and I had to use scv's to defend

Reaper plays do seem to be the norm at this stage in the match up to keep toss back in their main if you can micro the reaper with not much issues it works nicely too! The build I used is a fairly safe build with a pretty decent timing attack which in silver league should net you a good amount of wins
