    Hey all,

    I've been getting better at Starcraft since I started playing a week ago, but I need your input on the following replay.

    1 note: ignore my retardation with my SCV around 9/11. I had never played this map before and was choke scouting lol.

    I was going for an early Banshee harass and then playing it by ear from there. Let me know what you think!

    Im not gonna watch the replay, but try more early attacks with MM + stimpack + kiting.

    Youll be amazed how fast T can win in lower leagues with that alone.

    Yeah, often an early hit can be effective. Tme an early MM attack just when stim finishes and while you attack or just before, expand if you can.

    your macro is better, but you made 8 missle turrets that 1200 min why, so you can feel safe, but it is not needed 3-4 is alot on one base if you need that much detection get a raven or 2. maybe try going in for banshee harass with just 2 banshee early focus on min line then integrate into army. have all unit producing structures producing units at all times ( factory is and exception for terran) get ups and keep you money low. gj on expanding could have been faster but you felt the need to be very defensive simply to feel safe which was unnecessary much like the missile turrets

    Yeah in hind sight, I could afford to back off their a bit on the turrets. I seem to have a hard time spending all my minerals, though. Like I get to the end game and minerals just start stacking up. I know I should expand/build more production building, but it just feels unnecessary at times.

    Maybe at upper levels it will pay off?

    Thanks for all your input btw.

    Depends on what you consider upper level. The insane amount of income means you expanded/saturated well, but realistically there is no reason not to spend your income up until max supply. Until then, keep making production buildings and getting upgrades. If there are constant battles you'll see your income will be put to good use. If there aren't any, then you should attack when nearing max supply in order to hurt your opponent and be able to spend.

    And this huge freak advertisement in the sc2sig makes it look ugly... I guess no more pretty e-peen for us.

    I think you should try this build vs a very easy computer and attempt to always be making scvs. It goes like this build 1 rax then factory get second rax (first one gets a reactor secon rax gets tech lab) get a tech lab on factory, and an armory. Get starport no add on. Then build marines thors and medivacs at all times and expand around ten min. If u macro perfectly you should be able to do it . (No queueing!) Try this for macro improve ment
