If there's one thing I've learned, it's to never underestimate an opponent with a Silver League border.
Once I encountered that first Widow Mine, I knew right away my opponent was more experienced than that border would imply, and his drop tactics and general strategy confirmed this. I assume by the rather random name that this is simply a smurf account taking advantage of StarCraft II's recent free-to-play status.
One thing that was odd though was that even though my opponent is apparently in Silver League Tier 1, his MMR is that of Platinum League Tier 3, and I'm not sure why his account has not been promoted.
Regardless, this was a great match and I always love it when I get to break out High Templar. I took my past lessons to heart and teched much better this time, though I still made some mistakes.
As usual I forgot about Mass Recall entirely, and while I was pleased with my macro in terms of securing additional bases, and in taking it slow, defensive, and bleeding my opponent dry, I certainly could have used more production facilities (Gateways in particular and I should have gotten a second Robotics Facility sooner) and a second Forge wouldn't have hurt. Same with getting Air upgrades since I was using Phoenixes for, well, the first real time ever.
Regardless, a great learning match for me.
