Hello,
I am a D/D+ level Terran player, and I am ~D/D+ with Zerg and Toss as well, looking to improve and rise through the ranks of ICCup. To do this I understand takes time and practice, and a wealth of patience. It can however be faster to have some help from others, such as practice partners of your skill or better, and people high enough in skill to analyze your mistakes and help you improve upon them.
So I was trying to think of a way to improve quickly and I stumbled upon something that gave me an idea. What if I were to record every game I play FPVOD format, and put them all on youtube? Perhaps I could receive advice from you TLers on here about how to improve. I would also be uploading the replays that correspond to the games that I upload.
I understand that not everyone wants to spend all their time watching the FPVODs and replays of a "noob" which is why I thought it might be entertaining to stream games as well. Games of me playing live, watching better players with someone there to point out what they're doing and why it's good, things like that.
Why is this different from all the other "noobs" trying to get help?
Because I will listen and provide multiple different forms of viewing my games, as well as including you guys' ideas and your play (if you so choose). If I can I'd like to get a/some caster(s) to commentate on my games, or games of other people explaining to everybody else what is going on. Possibly even holding tournaments for low or mid level players, just as a chance to play in tournaments, have fun, and improve. As I feel it would expand the help from just me to all D lever Terran, and other races, as well as enhance the viewer's experience and making it more enjoyable to watch games.
I hope to get this all up and running as fast as I can and work out the bugs and become more popular over time. I plan on updating this blog regularly with new VODs and Reps, as well as some goals and things that I am working on at the moment, possibly in order of importance.
11/30 Game #0001 TvZ - Destination (Part 1)(Part 2) - (Replay)
Short-Term Goals:
- Upload as many FPVODs as possible
- Get everything up and running
- Improve on my ideas with some feedback from you all
- Have fun, and play a lot of games on ICCup
- Learn more in depth how to use camtasia
Long-Term Goals:
Long-Term ish
- Achieve D+
- Get feedback from TL and ideas for the future
- Get better, have fun

I certainly hope to hear some positive feedback from you all, or criticism as long as it's constructive. If you think I'm wasting my time, let me know. If you have ideas please share them.
My questions that I have right now are:
- Do you guys think this is a good idea?
- Would you be interested in playing or providing feedback /analysis of people's games?
- Do you think this could help me and the other struggling D level players improve faster?
- What is the best method to organize the replays/VODs (by matchup, by BO, some combination of the two, or perhaps just in order of when the games were played)?
