Game 32: PvT, XNC, Loss

Recap: This was strange.

Basically, I went 3-gate expand. He went with a bio push off 3 rax with a ghost. I held it easily and thought I was in good shape. Got a robo up. My macro slipped a bit here with a supply block at 60.

Then he just pushed again, with a lot of bio. My control wasn't great and I'd lost some sentries in the first push, so it basically killed me right there.

I usually feel pretty safe after holding a T's first bio push, so I'm not sure what was different this time.

Lessons:

• First off, replace your sentries.
• Don't relax after the first push. I guess I should have know this-- 3-rax ghost off one base and failing to kill the expansion meant he either goes all-in or rolls over. Most Ts I play roll over, expanding way late and trying to play a macro game from behind. What this guy did is the right choice and I should expect to see it more often.
• Combining the two: teching after the push was a mistake. I needed to spend the gas on sentries and the rest of my resources on army. Probably should have gone with another gate and a forge.
