i love the feeling of finding that one weakness in my enemies psychology, macro, micro, or strategy and exploiting it.
people i play against regularly (the TPU'ers) would have noticed - i never do the same thing twice in a row (unless i'm sure they arent expecting me to do it ), and i always work towards the perfect counter for what they've got. I fight an economy war of getting the most out of my units and them getting the least out of theirs.
once i get to know them, i dont even need to counter their race - i counter THEM. Dan (i think his name was), one of deathmores friends is a great example. he's a fan of regular move and not attack move, so once i trace the path of his units either reinforcing or retreating, i'll sit some units along that path and pick him off piece meal.
Well, I am not as good with mindgames, and consequently I usually start with the same style of play each day (foxer open, rauder heavy etc.) My friends will usually know what I am going to build most of the time, and the game revolves around me outsmarting and out microing them (hellion drop in main followed by a sustained push in natural?). I fight a micro game, punctuated heavily with favourable exchanges of army (medivacs help a great deal here). Very often, I can hold my own with 2 bases against 3 bases, and I am capable (at times) of drawing the game to extreme lengths to starve my opponent.
I do not counter players, I think that will not help me improve my game (at this level), but it helps to know what your opponent will go in response to what they have seen.
My greatest weaknesses? Horrible apm (70 and slowly increasing), inability to macro while micro, and complete inability to fully use 3 bases (due to the fact that I have polished my 2 base and below to go against 3 bases)
