A series of 1v1 matches with CRAFTSMAN

Map: Sand Serpent for Match 1 and 2
The first match went well overall, I always do MCV move on this map so crawling, and the distance of harvesters/refinery is closer to the blue tib to reinforce and defend that spot.
Able to rush and harass power plant and war factory of Soviets allowing me to get an advantage. I was getting for tech up to T3 as secured my eco but CRAFTSMAN surrendered as didn't have eco and built twice radar dome (ouch).
For second match went well too, was able to secure scout and vision of the entire map with dogs and grenadiers and harass the harvesters but TS issues and harvesters destroyed my eco with harvester denying any move, and harvesters idle on the CRAFTSMAN riverside plus the riflemen destroying from spawn position. Another mistake on my part was trying to flank instead of push or just keep harassing the harvesters of CRAFTSMAN I lost so much for nothing when saw the enforcer coming it was already game over.
Map: Chaos Rivers for Match 3a, 3b
3a meme started as normal until noticed that my harvester spawned inside the river and was blocked by refinery placement, so if wanted to recover my harvester need it to sell my refiner, cancel war factory and rebuild a new refinery IF I recover my harvester too. So, I ask for a retry and surrender.

3b Went much better, Soviets again, I know that in this map the effective move is to MCV move to the blue tib field and build there, the bridges are 1 tile wide, so easier to defend but hard to push and nasty to deal with pathfinding.
So, I tested with crawling but end doing worst, my eco was slow for too much time I was at 0 credits for too long, good thing I still have 1 harvester grabbing green Tib and got some units to counter the Chrono Tanks, after I MCV move, defended my blue tib field and able to build a refinery there able to pump up my economy, remove the delays and harvesters taking the super long path to return to my refinery able to recoup and push to T3 for mammoths and air units.
