This afternoon a thread was posted about how to improve.. Its a question that comes up regularly so I thought I would type up a small thing that helped me get from low silver to upper plat / diamond (by the end of beta phase 2) .. Its pretty lengthy, so I'll put it in reply.. but if you have any tips, lets hear it! Anything and everything will help ;)

One bad habit I got into was I tended to play defensive where I would always wait and counter based on what I scouted so generally the other players always controlled the game. It helps if you are able to predict a few steps ahead and force players into expected counters rather then waiting around to always counter them. Day9 has a good example of this with the Terran vs White-Ra Void ray videos. Lots of early marauders are bad news for Protoss so to help combat this White-Ra would quickly build into Void Rays. This would force Terran to predictably build marines to counter the Voids. Knowing this, he would build a heavy Zealot ground army to wipe up the marines.
There are tons of examples of these prediction plays and if you get really good at doing it, you will control most of the games rather than playing the defensive counter game every game.
