I've been going over my replays with a fine-tooth comb lately (in addition to FPVODing most of my 1v1 matches). I've realized that while I can hang with people close to my own skill level, when playing people just above me (~1900 or better) I start to fall apart really early on. I mean within the first four minutes I can feel myself getting hopelessly far behind.

There are a lot of reasons, but as I analyze more and more high-skill matchups I realize there is a bundle of details in the way pros execute the early game that add up to big advantages later on. I've also noticed there seem to be several different "styles" of early game expansion and aggression.

Some people go constructor heavy, or even constructor first. Some build all E at home, others do it next to their mexes. Some rush mid and build a nest, others distribute defenses lightly across the entire expansion while they go. The same goes for raiders, composition, transition out of the raider phase, etc.

I'm curious if anyone could offer any fundamental tips, or point out common pitfalls intermediate players (e.g. myself) often make. I'd also be interested in any general guidelines you could offer regarding how to expand like a pro, and maintain level ground heading into the early game.
