I just can't figure out how to play Protoss?
My plan was to open Zealot heavy while I got up Blink and a Stalker force and then roll out with heavy Blink Stalkers. I opened with a double Gateway for a lot of early Zealots and at the 8 minute mark I had a couple up, transformed into Warpgates (x4) and my Expansion started.
For a while towards the end he had 4 Warpgates he was producing out of and I had 10. But he was ahead of me in upgrades (I was devoting all my cash to producing units so I stopped at 1/2 and he was quickly (16-17 minute mark?) at 3/3 so his units were just ripping mine apart. I changed my tactic slightly to bring in some DTs, he had a single observer that I was able to take out which bought me some time.
Eventually he put down a second set of 4 Warpgates and despite his smaller economy was able to then just crush me.
I guess..next time...I don't know? I made a lot of mistakes. I should have scouted earlier so I could have put more pressure on with the fast Zealot build to make it more worth while. I should have harassed with the DTs harder, try to push him back to his base. Managed my upgrades better, I spent a lot of time with a lot of minerals trying to figure out what to do with them.
Lesson for the day - PvP sucks. Okay, no. Early Zealot build needs scouting and Mirror Matches require upgrades to not just be important, but a top priority.
