Analysis v Complaining

So remontoir just told me to go fuck myself, then told me to go analyze my last bunch of games seeing as they are vs high diamonds.. so lets do some analysis instead of complaining : )

6 Pool!

My good friend Remontoir were playing with timings on lost temple, among the tests I 6pooled a bunch of times and he 15hatched. We discovered the following:
If your starting positions are the closest positions by air, the 15 hatch will see the 6pool in time to change builds and place a pool - Win

What is interesting, atleast in my view, is that in the closest ground position on lost temple the 6 pool fails if it is scouted by an overlord and the opponent cancels the hatch, drops a pool and makes more drones - the initial lings need to be 'hunted' though.

If anyone has played with 6pool timings vs 15 hatch on other maps please comment a replay or some info on it, at the moment it feels like the 6pool is only going to work if you drone all-in with it

72 - 283

Well, a lot has happened since Feb 1 but I have not cut down on SC2 at all, quite the contrary ;) 209 games have been played in the last 18 days.
When this blog was started I had the goal of improving my game by putting atleast a minimum of thought into my games... instead what happened was I took my pc to my mates house and played a LOT of games.

Starting Stats:
1878 Point Diamond
156W : 150L = 1.04 W:L or 50.98% Wins

Last Stats:
2497 Point Diamond
197W : 181L = 1.0884 W:L or 52.12% Wins

Current Stats:


3134 Point Diamond
311W :  278L = 1.18705 or 52.80% Wins


Since started, 283 games have been played gaining me 1256 points which is like 4.5 points a game (goddamnit!)
* In the last 25 games (the games I played on the 18th up till right now) my win rate has been 70% :)
However, bullshit aside, I feel I have gotten a hell of a lot better, apm has stayed in the same range but my control has increased, my macro although still horrible has developed quite a bit and more importantly, bullshit cheeses are working less and less. + I caught up to my mate finally :D infact at the time of writing this I'm a few points ahead!

So now that I've played 200 games and failed to blog each one this blog is going to be repurposed to express my thoughts on what the matchups are doing.

1 - Fuck you protoss! Sick of this void ray colossus 2base shit you guys pull. stop that.
