Guys,
would be great if a few of you could take a look at a recent PvP game I had and tell me where I can improve please.

Be gentle, its only Bronze.
Wrote down a few thoughts while watching
hope some of it's helpful.
Dont chrono before the pylon finishes, otherwise it's just wasted in all honesty. You could potentially chrono on 8 and pylon on 10, but that wouldnt put you ahead in the probe count in the long run, whereas putting the first chrono down after the pylon finishes will give you the best advantage.
Second pylon wasnt needed so early, you can wait until at least 15-16 before you put that down. Meanwhile other resources can be spent on, say, a gas geyser.
Be careful about wasting chronoboost (i.e.having it running on your nexus when you dont have any probes building)
When your gateway finished you already had enough to put down a cybernetics core. Also you had lots of money ready in the bank on top of that so I'd have liked to see that go into another assimilator or perhaps another gateway.
Lots of time spent not building probes at around 4 minutes. With all of your attention on your enemy's probe (in all honesty he wasnt getting any useful information from your base anyway), you lost track of what you were doing. 600 minerals in the bank by 4:45
.
Generally if you want to get warp gate tech (which 99.9% of the time you do) it's a good idea to put 3 probes in that first geyser as soon as it finishes or as soon as you put the cyber core down. That'll give you enough to get it started as soon as the core finishes. Lots of time was spent not mining from it, so just be aware of that
Still 400 minerals in the bank by 6 minutes. As you're only getting 2 gates up, I'd have liked to see you just put this into an expansion. You're not coming under pressure, so spend the minerals. In the long run you'll get huge gains from an expansion..
Not seeing a supply block though which is always good
If you do see yourself with 750 mins in the bank, then try to think of something to spend it on. You do get that expansion eventually, which is good
money's dropped nicely.
You're building more probes than your opponent which is good, but I'd love to see that production be more constant. Also try to use your chronoboost. It's not an invaluable resource, and as soon as you hit 100 energy it starts to get wasted. So any units/upgrades you're making, just hit the chrono. Or if nothing else, chrono probes for the economic advantage.
At 12:24 and his void rays start to move out. Would have like to see an observer come out of that robotics facility just to have a look around, see what's going on. Then you can prepare a bit better. Also useful to have around in case of cloaked units (read: DTs)
Blinked stalkers = awesome. good choice
Need to be careful of robotics tech in the long run as big armies with immortals and colossi will put serious hurt on stalkers, even with blink. It's a good idea to practice your blink micro, so when you see a unit getting into the red, blink it back to behind your army so that it doesnt die.
Be careful though as they shouldnt win the game for you. Remember to go back to your base and continue your macro, even though you're in a battle
. Is anyone else experiencing more aggression on the European servers lately?
