Awesome tournament again! GG everybody. I just watched G2 of me vs Shibb and now I know why I always go robo tech... I felt so blind, but apparently I had a huge timing window to attack. :(
This is genius. I would go and buy NHL 11 again to take part. NHL 11 is one of the best sports games, and it'd be crazy to play it with the GB crew in 6v6 matches with totally random GB'ers.
I disagree with the people that say you should put working on macro over establishing some solid builds. If you haphazardly build things, you'll probably lose even if you have great macro. Find a single build for each matchup and then learn to macro with those builds. You can't really learn to macro without a build. That said, macro definitely is more important than having a good build, but you need a build to macro.
PvP - 3 gate robo PvT - 1 gate + robo + 2 gates (good scouting to make sure you don't get rushed) PvZ - 3 gate sentry expand or just any sort of pressure play into an expansion (stargate harass, blink rush, dts etc.)
A standard 3-gate robo should go a long way in the lower leagues for all matchups and it'll definitely give you a lot of room to practice your macro and mechanics.
Oh and grats on your promotion! I just got promoted to masters as well.
3 gate robo stomps 4-gate hard, dunno why you'd go a 2 gate robo though. As for a forge expand... it seems like it would rely far too much on the cheesy factor which is where they scramble to start scouting for a cannon rush.
Way too risky to ever really be useful because of:
Proxy pylon in your base
Blink stalkers + Hallucinate
Any and all air
Warp Prism
Warping in units on high ground with hallucinate
Plus, the other person could probably double expand with only a tiny amount of risk if he sees 10 cannons go up at the natural.
