[L] Switching to T, curious about it

So, I'm race switching to T, after playing the 3 races extensively (more extensively than I'd like to admit), I've decided that T's high DPS units and their ability to hold map presence have brought me to like them, I wanted to ask some tips though.

IF you were just starting T, what would you do to steadily improve while still winning games (I'm in gold), do I have to do all-ins and timings and such? Or can I play macro terran? And so on, just what would you do to improve?

Also what are some general tips to the race that I should know?

learn how to multitask. dropping while macroing and pushing with your main force is key to terran. i got to diamond literally with drops and solid macro.

You should learn bomber's tvz build - It demands that you hit so many macro timings til you get out and push; while remaining safe so that you will get ton of practice

It will learn you to nail a great build, take a third and then pushing out with a large force.

When pushing out just set up a goal to always drop in at least one location while pushing.

I give this to all my friends and they have skyrocketed in skill, going from low leagues to high leagues

If you want to improve then you should get in the hang of opening 1 rax fe, and subsequently learning how to scout the various all-ins that kill it and reacting properly. Trying to 'win,' while improving sounds like you just want to catch opponents offguard with various all-ins, which will make you good at executing all-ins and is subjectively improving, but only in the short term. Most important thing is to stick to a single build you know best in each mu and work on your mechanics. You improve the fastest when accounting for the fewest variables.

edit: And dropping with pushes will overload your opponents ability to multi-task in lower leagues. I'd especially learn the two medivac timing for TvP. You will win a lot of games outright.

Save yourself from the inevitable headache of playing Terran and just slap your face on the keyboard with Protoss instead.

If InControl is a progamer then please shoot me...

This might be too basic, but it has helped me in its simplicity. Expect to be fairly bad at T. glhf
