Danze PvZ (Danze's Performance/Skill) Please Comment and Criticize.

I did this weird FE against a Zerg on Xel Naga, and well. I got lucky.
Please watch the replay and tell me what I can do better, and what I did well.
Please Comment on the 2 categories
1. Specific Game Strategy/Build Order/Unit Composition
2. Overall Performance, Thinking, Hotkeys/Macro/Micro

Also please guess what league I am based on the single game.
(I know it's just a single game, but try :) )

A good place to start for looking for good strategies which professional players is over at liquidpedia here is a link to the protoss section. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Protoss_Strategy

I skimmed over this on 8x speed because I only have a tiny bit of time. Please please just open up with the standered builds I have suggested, your trying all these tricky stuff that your going to get punished for in higher leagues. 2. Use that chrono early on on your probes. Your eco would be so much better if you just chroned out your probes. 3. Against roach/hydra you probaly need some colli

eY I agree with point 2 and 3 from Southy, but I think you should keep trying tricky builds. You gain a way broader knowledge of the game way quicker by exploring your own builds. But you should also look at replays/VODs of pro's from time to time to understand their timings etc.
Avoid copying builds from places like TL though, they just tell you what to do and not what to think about or why you are doing that.

Also, can you upload that replay on a not retarded file hosting site :P

You have an interesting learning attitude Pro, I think its one that might work really well for you but feel like for most us, going to TL and copying builds is actually the best way to improve. It's up for you too decide that Danze. But yeah pro I think your right in that I was wrong. Tricky stuff is probaly good for your learning. What I more mean to say is to try some standered as well and send the me the replay! Since I have suggested the 2 builds for PvT and PvZ and asked for you to send me replays, of the 4 replays u have sent me they have been 4 gate, 2 weird 3 gate zealot expand things and a forge FE. So please try to send me some games of you trying my standered thing.

oh and I guess your GM :D

edit: been thinking about this some more and just wanna say that making your own builds and experimenting and thinking is great. But imo the best way to do this is go copy a tested and proved build. try it a few times and than make your own tweaks and see what ideas spring from there.

Copying builds from TL is a great place to start imo from there u can go and work out the kinks. Its a huge head start.
