Welcome to Gaia! ::

Night Vs Skipei:

I'm gunna go ahead and say there were moments during that game where I wanted to just scream at Skipei. So many times when he/she made a bunch of units and then just did nothing with them.

The reapers at the start, just sat on that high ground and did nothing until the muta's showed up and they became useless. Why did they not try to push in for a harass? They had the nitro packs, and a decent force, if nothing else they could have distracted you, forcing you to build more zerglings, and allot resources away from drones, overlords or the eventual mutalisks, it was really disappointing to see such a massive amount of units get built up and then do nothing.

It then happened a few more times after that, with Battlecruisers of all things, they had 2-3 Battlecruisers, quit early I might add, and these could have caused so much damage if they had been properly utilized, at one point they had 3-4 battlecruisers sitting at your back door rocks, full energy with both a spawning pool and a spire in sniping distance for that yamato cannon and they did NOTHING. What were they saving it for, a single mutalisk?!

I also noticed they expanded in the WRONG direction, you never want to expand in a direction that is difficult to defend, they would have been better off, with those units sitting at the back door holding a somewhat contain, to throw down the gold expo, and always expanding down towards your base, making it easier to defend.

Also, what was with all the planetary fortresses?! The one on the island expo in particular? Those resources could have been better used on some turrets instead, of perhaps a couple more vikings, or medivacs for their massive marine force.

On Night's side we saw very decent baneling use with decent enough muta-ling aggression, though it could have been better with some more efficient scouting (thus denying the island expo altogether), there were a few poorly coordinated attacks (a poor zergling placements), on the natural expo in particular that I noted ended up in some severe losses that could have ended up way worse for you had your opponent decided to do ANYTHING in the game.

The other thing I'll note is you could have expanded a bit more, especially near the end when you were holding map control, taking out two expansions and being on the aggressive would have been the perfect time to drop down another expo (maybe even 2) and then really bolstered a massive economy and real map control, but instead you opted to burn through all of your excess minerals on spine and spore crawlers? I was a little confused why you would dump so much into defence while you were on the offence and had so much control on the map? These extra minerals could have been better used on more hatcheries, another expo, and maybe some more zerglings as there were a couple times when I noticed your macro slipping pretty sharply.

I figured that must have been why you dropped the crawlers, as a sort of 'just cause' idea.

1v1 League, Night Gold vs Lubie Silver (fun fact, it told me he was slightly favored)

Nothing too special about this one. Just showcasing the effectiveness of the 5RR. Although I did make a few mistakes in this build (i.e. I forgot to make that fourth Overlord before the Roaches) it did not fail to cause the appropriate damage.

1v1 League, Gold Night vs. Gold BioReboot

Early harassment turns into a base race. Surprising ending.

Things to look for: I have improved my map control. Very little was he able to do that I didn't know about. ^-^

Sounds good.

Vote for me! <3

1v1 League Night Gold vs. Scar Gold

Damn this one went on for a while. This guy was the embodiment of turtling. Tried to harass him early on but he had walled off in a way that it just wasn't worth it to spend the forces to crack him. So I switched to a macro game. I dunno about him, but the only thing of my Zerg tech tree that didn't make an appearance was Spine Crawlers. Brood Lords and Ultralisks saved my a** on a couple of occasions.

People of Gaia: If you're going to critique this, lay off the micro. For some reason my shift key wouldn't work so I couldn't string orders.

Pretty well played game, fairly decent unit positioning and compositions, and good economy.

Only thing I'd say you really need to work on more than anything right now is your macro, taking your 3rd base a little earlier, and producing more units, at the end you had over 7k in minerals which could have easily been more zerglings or something, the only time you should be sitting that high in minerals is when you're already max supply army, considering throwing down an extra in base hatch or two to increase your unit production.
