You bet. Just add me as a friend and you can view my match history and watch any games you like.

I actually just lost a game to Protoss even tho I had a scan at the ready and a turret in my mineral line because his DT's decimated my army and attacked my base while I was pushing at my opponent.

Even if you have detection, DT's are deadly because they can get in the back of your base without your knowledge and wreak havoc while you wait for an army to arrive. It's like a zergling runby with one shot kills.

Since getting bumped to Diamond, Protoss is actually the race I have the most trouble with. On paper it should be easy - build a turret and you counter both Void Rays and Templar but the turret also has to be supported by an army which is difficult when you're trying to be aggressive. I find that what happens is I leave my base and the templar demolish my turret as soon as the SCV's run away. Then if I'm lucky I have energy for a scan to clean it out. If not, my army gets picked apart while I wait on the scan and either way, the next round is in before the next turret is built.
I know I could take on his army in a head-on fight but three units leave my economy in shreds. How do you move out and defend your base at the same time? Terran's biggest weakness is immobility - even with an infantry army.
