[NA-Protoss] Just got the game, was placed into Plat (oops!) Could use some help!

Hello!

I got the game yesterday and I had been reading about builds and whatnot beforehand but today I did my placement matches and just stuck to doing a 4-gate and won 4 of them (lost the first one after queuing as Terran by mistake). Now I'm thinking I might stay out of ladder for a while and practice builds so the crazy amount of losing that's on the horizon doesn't make me want to uninstall the game and never look at it again.

What I did was I found 3 builds (one for each match-up) and thought I'd do nothing but those 3 builds until I got the basic mechanics down (pylons, probes, hotkeys, check the minimap, all that jazz) then go from there.

The builds

  • PvP: 4-gate (was actually my PvEverything during placement)
  • PvZ: Forge, Fast Expand, 7 Gates
  • PvT: Something with Immortals, not sure yet?

Anyways I'd be interested in having a couple of people to play/practice with or if anybody feels like giving me pointers that'd be great. I can be reached in-game at Turing#531 or in Skype (TuringSC).

Thanks a bunch!
