It helps to write the builds down. Then they stick in your brain better, and you can hold more builds in your mind. What I do depends on the current map's "Meta". For example, if I play ZvT on Destination, I can be sure that I'm probably going to face a mech terran. The "Meta" also changes depending on what progamers do. If Bisu, Flash, Jaedong, Stork, Zero, or Fantasy do a thing, I expect to start seeing it on the ladder.

I can't not do it. Even if I get killed immediately after. It's just too much fun. Also when I manage to survive and when the guy I cheese manages to survive it becomes these epic grudges throughout the FFA that are so damn fun. | ||

Yah I'm the same way. I have very standard builds that mentally I'm always prepared to play in each game with three exceptions:

- When I felt like I had no good control or multitask while dropping what I would do is to lean over robotic builds over and over, 1 gate robo, 2 gate robo, sair/reaver etc... as to improve in this aspect of the game, same for arbiters, storms, carriers, dragoon micro... you name it. - Once you feel comfortable with the units you can start trying specific BO's that maximize the use of this units, you can't do 2 base arbiter if you can't use them properly because you will just get stomped over and over again and you will think the BO is bad which will limit your choices. When playing "unvariable BO's", like PvZ you can open FFE, or 11Gate exp, or 10/12Gate if its ladder do whatever you feel like, for instance currently I am doing 11Gate exp instead of the usual FFE because I feel its more demanding in terms of micro and multitasking for me, which I need to get back in shape. When playing a "serious" game, the more info you can have on your opp before the match the better to help you prepare, then it is up to scouting + situation, that's why you need to have a good amount of different options to choose the better one. | ||
