Game 31: PvZ, Win, Shakuras Plateau

Link: Replay
Opponents' Rank: Gold 1
MMR Change: +16 (213)
Record: 19-12

Recap: This flowed like a pretty standard PvZ despite some weird choices on his part-- he went gas-pool-hatch and I went 3-gate sentry expand. My first push went better than usual, able to cut off some units and even pick off a few drones, then scoot back out.

I came back with 2 immortals and an observer and again was able to get in, do damage, and come back out. His composition had more lings in it than I would have expected.

Because I'd kept all my units and I'd seen no sign of him adding hydras yet, I expanded to a third rather than tech to colossus. He pushed it as soon as it went up, and that battle was close but my warp-ins tipped the balance, even though I lost a bunch of probes.

At this point I had 3 functional bases powering 2 robos getting colossi along with a gateway ball. He pushed again at my third but I beat it down and did a final push to end it.

Lessons: Again, a very nearly standard PvZ, except that I would usually wait to get my third after colossus tech, and he didn't tech past roach/ling.

I was rocking the pylons this game. Felt like old times. Now I can get back to worrying about my money float.
