Me = Blue warboss, TS17
iNHallOW CaeL = kommano nob, TS35 and GR expert

I almost swallowed my tongue when I saw Caeltos was my opponent in the loading screen. A pretty short game, I don't get out of Tier 1 because he continually decaps all my power.

There is a huge skill gap here which might affect how useful the replay is but I thought two helpful areas to comment on would be
1) what to do against such an aggressive opening and
2) capping choices in this situation (being driven off the map and totally dominated).

I kept swicthing side to side on the map to try and avoid and split him but maybe I should have hunkered down somewhere?

There are two episodes of micro failure - my Warboss dies up near his natural VP because of command lag and a failed retreat and I lose my sluggas while they were capping because I kept hitting the wrong selection unit button and failed to retreat them. All other micro errors are genuine!

Thanks to Caeltos for being polite and a good sport as the game was probably a complete waste of his time. Doh, I should have been smarter and asked him for tips while we were playing.

With the level of micro and the skillgap involved there's not much advice that would be relevant here. Watch back what he did and try to emulate it, and work on your multitasking.

Thanks Syra, that's good advice as I have been neglecting that bit of watching replays (just concentrating on my own mistakes)

Also your comment referring separately skill and micro has set some cogs turning in my head ...

Well he knows all the tricks of the trade not just how efficiently he's microing but what he's doing with those units, when to build something when to upgrade something to keep his economy moving, his capping order his build order and his map awareness are part of skill too.
But you got rolled so I doubt that will show through ^^
