Replay Pack of my games.

HeyToYou — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 16:25:35 GMT

These are games and practices i played before going to ICCup.

These are all as Terran. Will be uploading some PvT reps in couple of minutes..

These are not really high level games and I do slack a good bit in them also due talking or other things going on. Good for low level games to watch and see if they can pick anything up off of.

Tips on increasing skill in specific area's

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:52:48 GMT

Improving certain parts of your game sometimes is important to get each down very well. Some maps favor certain styles better than others. Macro - This is one of the most important Aspects of the game for your timing attack and overall to have a strong mid // late game. Macro is to be capable of producing workers non-stop till get up high in psi and to know when you expo in timely manner. Macro is all about producing right amount of gates to keep minerals spent and keep no more than 2 units ...

How to improve on build order

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:51:24 GMT

As you can see i have been writing a lot of things. I have been getting a good bit of questions. Some of these things i write i don't even do but i know i if wanted to increase rapid this is what i would have to do. I will write these things hopefully once a week on different things. I have 2 other ones. 2nd one i think is a really good read. Are you using same build order but just don't get it? seems like you keep getting beat by the same strategy? Do you get overwhelm mid into late game? ...

Improvement guide

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:53:55 GMT

There really isn't a magical way to improve all of a sudden. Some learn quicker than others finding and noticing things. Others Might learn a different way than other people. Some are more creative and some are more closed mind and want to stick to standard. We all have our own style no matter what we do and it makes us unique. Way we talk, Walk, or how we deal with being nervous. Some tap, some move leg, some rub their hands, some move their eyes, and some possibly breath more quickly. These ...

Unit control

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:50:20 GMT

. This is one of those that is more practice than it is talk for sure. I will give tips and etc best as possible to learn how to control your units well mid // late game. I will first focus on Hotkeying. Hotkeying all your units is very important in most situations. improves your control and you can react a lot more quickly. Allows you to move a lot units very fast. You have to get use to constantly adding units to you hotkeys and as quick as possible. So learning how to hotkey very quickly ...

PvZ-Fe stargate build-Nony build

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:35:04 GMT

This build order is design for Protoss vs Zerg when going fast expansion build order. This build order is from Nony vs InControl on Blue Storm. If don't know already Nony's best match-up is PvZ I made a mark to where you should at least memorize the build up to. I went farther just in case someone wants to memorize it exactly how nony does it. later in the build look for "<----- Memorize to here" you can diverse from there and adjust how you want. 8-Send Probe 8-Pylon ...

PvP Goon/Reaver Timing Attack-Nony build order

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:33:31 GMT

This Build is based off of Nony. This is the strategy he used against ToT)Cloud( and beat him 2 times with. This is detailed build order and very timing based. For it to be well timed you must know strategy very well. 8-Pylon 10-Gate 12-gas 13-Make Zealot Once gate completes 16-Pylon 18-Core (depending what you scout here you might get another lot if scout 2 gate lot build) 20-Make Zealot 22-Pylon, make goon 27-Start Range Upgrade, Pylon 30-Robo, Gate 32-Pylon ...

ZvT lurk,ling timing attack

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:26:08 GMT

That is write this is a Zerg vs Terran strategy write up of Lurker + ling attack timing. This is something a lot starting terrans and ever some that are decent with terran struggle against. If you do this right only way terran can stop this is if he bunkers up (Considering he went a standard build order) Here we go I will talk about this. Good thing about this build is you will not really need sunkens but you have to judge compare to what you scout and see of course. This is always good ...

1 fact expo/timing push Tvp

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:17:41 GMT

Yes there is 2 ways you can do this strategy. The Famous 1 factory expo into timing push. First will explain the 1fact openings and time i feel is best for them. FD (Fake Double) This build is 12rax//12 gas into 1 factory then produce anywhere from 4 - 7 marines and get tank and 1vulture with mine upgrade and head out. This is an agressive and very safe build if your good with it. 1fact expo (Classic Strategy Still Used a lot) This build is 11rax//12gas (must wall off) ...

Art of war Zerg view-decent read for any race

GG)SHiELD — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 22:06:33 GMT

In this guide I will extract several quotes from Sun Tzu’s (or Sun Zi for others, I don’t feel like being politically correct right now) art of war. This only contains my own views on the quotes and I only extracted the quotes -I- thought were useful so don’t jump me for missing any important things I should have written. Also most examples I write are from a zerg point of view since that’s my race, I could talk terran or toss but I’d prolly get laughed at. Here goes: Estimates 17. ...

Micro and Tricks by Ahzz

GG)SHiELD — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 23:59:38 GMT

==========MICRO & TRICKS============ First for the tricks: -You can stack your flying units easily by using a resource patch. -You can stack your mutas really well (which is needed for muta micro) by using the magic box. The magic box is having one unit apart from the bigger group and when you tell the whole group to move to a specific location, they start to stack by themselves and stay stacked. The best unit to use as the stacker is the overlord because its slow. -When you micro ...

Zerg guide Part 1 General Tips

GG)SHiELD — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 23:42:52 GMT

First off, for those better players around there. This is mostly meant to teach stuff for less experienced players, though experienced players can get something out of it too but.. Well, what I'm trying to say is, that if I say that you shouldn't concentrate on cool micro, it means that you should ONLY concentrate on better micro etc if you have enough speed and multitasking, which most of the people who read this do not. There are several ways to start the game. Some are better at something ...

Modern Zerg strategy by 88)iNcontrol

GG)SHiELD — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 23:40:08 GMT

As promised I am going to discuss modern zerg strategy as I understand it. This information is compiled from my experience watching professional vods/reading analysis, my own games with top non koreans and the replays I watch daily. I will discuss the modern bo's, some variations, reasons for the bo's/decisions zerg gamers make and leave the rest of the topic open to discussion. I am not the greatest zerg user. Some of you may even think I suck, and that is a perfectly valid opinion. ...

Blue Goon by Zileas

GG)SHiELD — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 20:58:32 GMT

There's no guarantee this strategy works at "very competitive levels", but I'm relatively certain it will fare pretty well against heavy metal (mass tanks + vultures and maybe goliaths/marines too). There are other potential uses, but they aren't as good. This strategy isn't an end-all and it doesn't revolutionize Protoss, but it can get you out of some nasty situations when used as part of your strategy, and possibly get you out of a nasty heavy metal more easily than usual. Typically, ...

Protoss build orders

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:48:25 GMT

Protoss Build Orders Protoss 9/10 Gate Zeal Rush Matchups: Pvz, Pvp, Short distance locations. Theory: This is the fastest way to rush zerg with zealots, while maintaining a decent economy. The build is all about cutting corners to get those zeals out as fast as possible. Against builds where zerg elected to make a hatchery before a pool, the zealots will arrive at latest by time the hatch finishes. This build is the strongest against the fast-expo, given the travel distance ...

Reaver article

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:47:29 GMT

Article below is pretty good. Just also don't loss the reaver if you open up with this early game. I noticed where he said he snipes of units and how he does it in his writing. Good read if you like doing this build and not to great at it. By: Legionnaire (Retired Progamer) Trying to remember how i do the stuff. I think i drop it, then select both and right click on a target, select the shuttle spin it back around to pick up the reaver, that way the shuttle ...

Protoss vs Terran Carrier use

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:45:46 GMT

The infamous carriers. Carriers are one of the best tech choices when certain conditions are met and have the micro. As long as you know these conditions and realise how to micro, you will do quite well. So when do you tech carriers? i ) Your sure that the Terran plans to turtle and that you have time to build the buildings necessary and the tech. ii ) You have a sizable advantage and are looking to capitalize. Now point i ) is simple, if your opponent is making his third and is ...

PvT late game Pt 2

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:44:53 GMT

Back to lategame Lategame at this point should include perhaps a couple attacks being made by either player but no game ending damage done and the Terran having a third base, while the Protoss looks for his fourth and fifth. The timing of your fourth and fifth base is really subjective to you. It's impossible to state exactly when you should create it, suffice to say, it should be made when it can be defended. If your army would get steamrolled by his if he decided to move out, it's ...

Protoss vs Terran Late Game Pt 1

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:43:40 GMT

Late Game - Or if the Terran decides to turtle Both of these are the same. Whether the Terran decided to turtle a third base and slow push with turrets and mines to his third base or whether he attacked and you defeated it, but he had built a third in the meantime, the situation is the same. What you need to make sure of at this point, as with midgame is that you are watching all expansions; not allowing him to sneak anything without you knowing about it; hotkeying all your units and creating ...

PvT overview

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:42:33 GMT

Overview up to this point I'm just going to review what should be happening up to this point. You started off with a build listed at the beginning of this guide and scouting him, revealing whether or he was fast expanding. Depending on what you saw (or couldn't see, due to a Terran wall), you did the reactionary strategy also outlined above and continued into mid-game. Next, you have your expansion up and have your six gateways built or building and your looking to take your third base. ...

PvT Guide Pt 3

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:41:06 GMT

The Midgame The mid-game is the most important part of PvT. This is where your macro goes against his and your decision making and positioning really become a key part of your game. The immediate goals of the mid-game are to gain map control and positioning yourself. Now you want map control for a few reasons: 1 ) Map control is going to limit his movement of vultures. Which in turn means less harassment on your probe line and less mines to deal with later. 2 ) Speaking of mines, ...

PvT guide pt 2

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:40:01 GMT

General PvT Play Early Scouting Now that the safe build orders have been covered, we can begin to talk about the meat of PvT. The most important thing in any Protoss game is scouting. As a Protoss, you need to know what your opponent is doing or plans to do, and this will help you defend and take an advantage. Besides the last build I mentioned where you scout very late, you should scout after your eighth pyon every time. Scouting early is very important because you can tell ...

Protoss vs Terran guide Part 1

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:38:06 GMT

What I am NOT going to do is teach you to proxy 9/10 gateways in the middle of the map, cannon rush (vs terran) or DT drop. These are not in my mind conservative builds; they are risky. They are risk/reward builds that are fine vs higher skilled players because with a little luck, you might be able to abuse the builds in a way that will make up for your lack of skill. I want to stress that I want the readers of this guide to be standard Protoss players, with solid macro and understanding; for ...

Zerg build orders

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:27:57 GMT

Zerg Build Orders Zerg 7 Pool Rush Matchups: Zvz, Zvp, Zvt, Multiplayer, close locations Theory: This is very much a risk/reward build. In 1v1 play it is best meant for 4 player maps or less, where you can figure out where he is by time the lings pop out their eggs. It can be done in any matchup, and in multiplayer, but locations must be close. In general you are going for early harassment, the point of your attack will vary for each race. To begin, scout with your overlord ...

Terran build orders

GG)SHiELD — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:23:40 GMT

Terran Build Orders Terran Double Rax MnM Matchups: Tvz, Multi. Theory: This is a simple and common build done in most Tvz games, and it is fine for multiplayer. The build can be done with or without a wall. You may also make a makeshift wall with the pair of rax. This build is not suggested for 1v1 vs a protoss other than a suprise, since protoss tech owns mnm hard. Build: 9/10 Depot (Scout when done) 11/18 Barracks 13/18 Barracks 15/18 Depot Refinery ...
