blckace - You have a won game by turn 14. However it took a long time because you attacked the wrong way. You should attack the wit space path into the pocket, not attack into their spawn space.
lawtai - Not much to say. Your opponent attacks without sufficient material, so you win easily.

Ok, since you ask for criticism
First, I know you are trying to play better players, but this opponent is fairly unskilled. I could point out lots of pretty substantial errors.
As for your play, nothing terribly bad. As player 2, you should not be able to pressure their sniper with your first move. I'm surprised it worked, but don't count on that continuing to work. The biggest thing I would say is try to get that Mobi out much earlier. It's not necessary to build up so many units before building that Mobi. The Mobi will cut through fewer units more easily. You also got lucky that they decided to move their Mobi in the completely wrong direction. Also, try not to sacrifice the Mobi like you did toward the end. I think the trade of a mobi and a sniper for 3 HP on the base was not a great trade. It worked but you would have probably been been better off keeping the mobi.
One last thing. When I'm going to deploy a mobi, I like to buildup forces on the opposite side of the map. This has 2 important roles. Your forces will likely force your opponent to build up similar strength far away from where you plan to attack and if they are already planning to attack away from your mobi, you will be ready to defend and then be able to quickly counter-attack.
Here is a replay that illustrates how much less protected your Mobi can be. You just need a bit of vision advantage to move it into position. After a couple turns, you can build an army around it.

Otherwise, nice game.
