Old thread was deleted?
Post names, servers etc.

EU server - Automaton: Rank 12 Bronze.

I play protoss, and usually do:
1) 5 zealot rush
2) Stalker/immortal push
3) stalker/void ray push
Depending on what I've scouted.
And of course I always have a couple of sentries in there and always defend my base with cannons.

Add me if you want a game :) Or add my steam - jrockpunk1

eu server - stereogasm: rank something bronze

i'm only a bronzie but i got coached a little by my masters friend and can kind of play the game slightly correctly, the only reason i'm not out of bronze is because i don't play enough. i play protoss, as zerg hurts my brain and creeps me out too much and i dislike the way i have to play terran, which is to just be as much of a cunt as possible

usually against terran i go for a one gate fast expand, then i'll just kind of build around what he goes when i scout

against zerg i'll usually forge fast expand into a three gate robo or something, but at bronze nearly every player goes for a zergling rush and then just quits as they hit my cannon and zealot so i haven't had much practise against them

against protoss i'll usually four gate, but i'll scout a fuckload to make sure they don't expand, then i'll just keep making units and upgrade constantly

have won like 25/30 of my last games played, and won 10 in a row. Hopefully promoted to silver soon :)

on a side note, these songs are the shit:

[edit]
my tactics for against pretty much any race now as protoss is to 3 gate robo and harass to prevent them expanding, and expand to my natural whilst doing so. By that time I'm ahead economically, and can start building mass colossi and eventually move out with 1/1/1 or 2/2/1 upgrades and a 3rd expo and hopefully overrun them.

My easiest matchup by far is PvZ. I now know how to hold off early pool attacks with zealots well, and my tactic means that I attack mid-late game, when protoss' units are much more powerful than zerg ones if theyre only going roach/hydra/zerg/muta (like most do). Only thing that stops me is when they attack my mineral line, especially with well microd mutas. I usually have to put up cannons for that but by then it's too late.
