I completed my first 3 competitive matches ever today, losing the first two but scoring a win on the third to place at Rank 4 Bronze.
Looking over my first two matches, i realized that I was failing as I was neglecting my worker production in favor of microing my army. So for the last game i focused on building my economy and getting those fast expansions while trying to spend all my money:
Luckily for me, I probe-scouted his base early on and noticed the Spire being built, so quickly warped in a Forge and some Photon Cannons around my mineral line expecting a Mutalisk rush, and began pumping out Stalkers while fortifying my Natural expansion.
Carefully targetting the Mutalisk's one by one, i was able to repel his attack until his Mutalisks reached critical mass and the photon cannons could no longer hold them off, causing him to destroy my Main.
Just before this point I moved all my probes off to a hidden gold expansion near his base with 4 proxy gates and went for an All-In Stalker counter wiping out his Mutalisks and Drones and drawing out the GG.
I learnt two things from this game, keep up the Macro, and be unexpected!
