Hi there, I've been doing some videos to help out newer zerg players that might not know basic builds that will get them far.

Speedling Expand

15 Hatch / Hatch First

14 Pool 16 Gas

(includes what to do even if pylon blocked)

15 Hatch / Hatch First vs Zerg

Spanishiwa Build

I have plans to do videos on how to stop 4gates, 6gates, 2rax and hellions too, let me know what you think, except my horrible commentary because I suck very very badly

Small announcement, all my videos will be brighter in the future, I've applied a small FX to it and it looks great.

Its actually alot easier in some ways to hold off a 2rax with a hatch first (if you don't get blocked) because you have more than enough drones to fend off the attack just before your pool finishes to clean up AND you keep a good economy lead. I remember IdrA saying back last year on an SOTG that he discussed this and Ret agreed with him on the subject.

Thanks for making these really useful guides. I know there are other resources available but to have these common builds all collected together like this is really great.

In one way I wish you would show them vs real players so I can see when you are drone scouting and how you these builds work out against different kinds of pressure.

I think you can do good commentary as long as you are enthusiastic it will sound fine.

I agree 100%, I feel that the faster I get the spine up, the faster I can hold it off, that was the point I was trying to forward, that hatch first is better vs terran.

Oh sorry, I knew I was missing to do something, most of the times you scout on 12 supply, but if you want to hatch first in zvz you will have to scout on 9 to be safe.

I will do some of the videos vs my friend, he will be 6gating, 4gating and 2raxing me. I might do roach ling allin builds vs him too.

Great vids! I'm going to link them to my friend who's starting up SC2, I'm sure he'll appreciate them. I took a gander at the 15 hatch vid (since I still don't for the life of me know how to hold a bloody 15 hatch against zerg) and it was pretty nice.

My only qualm is that some of the videos are a little bit dark, don't know why.

Yes I am aware of the brightness issue, I will try to solve it =)
