My 1v1 account had been sitting at something like 34-28 300pt diamond for a long time already (since the first week the game came out or so), and I always only played terran but in the weekend I decided to go play some protoss. But on sunday there was something very weird going on, I kept getting dropped from games (without losing internet connection) but I just kept playing because I wanted to try my BOs etc. Finally I had lost so much it actually dropped me to platinum league!
The days after the dropping stopped and I could play normally, and finally on tuesday I got promoted back into diamond at 1500pt.. lol.
Protoss is quite fun to play I have to say. My strategies:
PvP: 4gate (the match-up I lost the most)
PvZ: 4gate
PvT: 3gate+stargate VR rush
I think I made colossi in one game, and never a single immortal or HT so far..

I can't be bothered to open a teamliquid account, so I'll just bug you guys again: in 3v3 we always seem to get smoked by TTT with MM or mass marines at the first push. We're PPR, and I'm pretty positive that our plan for next time is probably good: Get lots of sentries and zealots (charge asap) at the start and then get collossi / high templars when it seems safe.
Fast templars aren't good cos we get killed before psy storm fisnishes researching. collossi are a bit faster but more of the same.
I've never had trouble with MM/whatever in 1v1 fwiw... but with a combined force in 3v3 it's pretty devastating.
That sounds like a bad strategy tbh, vs so much ranged and you teching. In my experience these team games are mostly about fast attacks and rushing. Since you have 2 protoss, I'd ask your third guy to go zerg, tell him to go fast speedlings (for early map control), put a pylon close to the terran main, fly an overlord over the pylon to get vision and while they're walling off their ramp, just warp zealots straight onto their platform. You can kill 2 of them very quickly that way. This is almost unstoppable I think unless they totally outplay you.
