Replay pack #38 (Patreon)

Hi Patrons,

Since it's early March, it's time for a new replay pack. 

Over the last few weeks I've been focusing more and more on macro play. While initially I struggled quite a bit and felt forced with Zerg to go for aggressive pushing most games, I've been playing more macro focused over the last week or two.

Here are also two build orders I'm playing in some of the replays included.
