Game 6: PvT, ST, Win

Link: Replay
Opponents' Rank: Gold 1
MMR Change: +13 (1299)
Recap: I hold an initial bio push at my ramp with FFs, then expand and ride the macro wave to victory. He tries to mech up in the center of the map, which I pushed into a little too hard at one point and lost a lot of units. He also actually does a great job of anticipating tech timings, so he had vikings out to meet my first wave of colossi and ghosts for my first wave of templar.

I countered by having more stuff. A lot more stuff.

Lessons: This was actually a little rocky early one. I blew pylons. The third one always needs to be built while I'm scouting with my probe, so I can get distracted sometimes. Then once the robo is down and I'm building immortals I tend to miss one at 50 or 58. That's bad because it's right before this 3-rax push is hitting.

That rockiness made me less confident in my ability to hold the push and made me delay the expo until after it hit. In most PvTs, I'd have had it up already and been trying to defend it.

I did a better job of spending down three bases worth of cash flow, though.
