Days 3 and 4; Training begins

Recovering from the New Year's festivities, I quickly got down to business and by that I mean that I sluggishly got out of bed and tried my best to play some games while chugging a couple redbulls. Over the past two days I played a total of 44 ladder games (4 hours the first day and 5 hours the second day) and spent a significant amount of time watching some replays that I have collected with the goal of expanding my build orders. Notably I want to include some air play in my PvP and introduce some new timing attacks to my PvT.

As usual, if anyone has any advice or sees any significant flaw in my game play please let me know. The following is a link to my game replays:

Statistics

Vs. Zerg 10 wins - 6 losses; 62% win rate

Vs. Protoss 8 wins - 7 losses ; 53% win rate

Overall 24 wins - 20 losses 54% win rate

Summary of my Progress

Of my match ups my PvT is clearly my weakest though it has already improved with the introduction of warp prism play. I want to be able to include a couple new timing attacks just so that I can punish some of the greedy builds that I have been seeing. Also any advice from Terran players on specific builds or timings that they find particularly annoying or hard to manage would certainly be appreciated.

While I have several PvP builds up my sleeve, I have become increasingly confident with this 4gate warp prism build that I have been using. This being said, I hope to include some of my other builds in the future, specifically 3gate blink stalker. Having watched a few replayed and having fallen a few times to phoenix play, I also want to include this sort of air play as an alternative to the warp prism play that I have enjoyed recently.

Finally though I have had plenty of success with my PvZ builds and there is little that I would like to change, I feel that air play following FFE is growing a little stale. In this light, I hope to include fast 4gate blink stalker (following FFE) into my play in the future.

The Future of the Blog

On a side note, I will likely start streaming this weekend and hope, in the future, to include streamed lessons with some local pros (I have Quantic.Inka in mind). Also, having followed through with the first couple days of practice I have decided to finally post this blog on the Team Liquid forums in hopes of attracting some more traffic.
