Seems likely that I won't be hitting that this week.
It comes out to 3 a day, M-F. Maybe more some days, less others. Only 2 a day including the weekends with 1 day having 3. It doesn't seem like it should be too many but...it's hard to make the time.
Never the less, it seems like a good goal to shoot for.
Before the Replay:
So I rolled Protoss again and again I flubbed just sending my probes out for their initial mining.
Smooth.
So I resolved myself to do better. I payed closer attention to my food count, I tried to make a lot of use out of my Chrono Boost and just constantly build stuff and look for expand timings.
I don't know if I did badly somewhere and it worked out or if I did well or if he just did badly, but it worked. He tried to hit me with a relatively early Marauder + Thor comp that I held off reasonably well. I didn't counter, just kept teching, upgrading and expanding. Quickly went for Archons and once I started getting close to my supply max planned a tech switch to Carriers.
Once I hit max and completed an upgrade I sent my Archon / Zealot / Stalker army into his base where they were destroyed by his army. No worries, I had built a lot of Gateways and quickly replenished my Archons. Then I used my Warp in Rounds to make more Zealots while all my gas went to upgrades and Carriers.
Maxed again I sent in the Archons and Zealots, again they were crushed. This time I remade only Zealots with all the gas going towards more Carriers and upgrades.
I'd sent probes to a bunch of bases to pylon block expansions and eventually saw him trying to expand out. I used my Zealots to harass his expand opportunities and moved my Carriers across for the kill.
After the Replay:
Early on he cut SCVs at around 25 or so. He put up 4 Rax and a Factory. Maybe this was supposed to be some kind of all-in timing attack? It looks that way, his push out was timed with when his Stim, Concussion and + 1 Vehicle attack would all be done.
He expanded behind in, I guess incase it failed, and it did. After that he started making SCVs again but only 3 bases to his 2 with 60 to his 30 harvesters, even his Mules weren't going to be enough to easily catch up. By the time he was on 3 bases, I was on 5.
I don't think he was a bad player, at least no worse than I was. He just didn't play aggressively enough for his low econ style. At least that's how it looks from here.
