Hey Guys!

It's Thursday, which means a new episode of Tara Tactics!

This week we talk about:
How to open greedily as Protoss against all races, with a few tips on what to scout and how to defend depending on certain cases. I tried to focus a bit more on PvP, as I know playing greedy early on in that match-up is a bitch!

I'd love to hear what you guys think about how am I doing, not only as a convey-er of StarCraft tips in terms of what I am teaching, but also how I am doing it! If nothing else, the production quality is awesome!



NOTE:
These tips are for low to mid level players who are trying to get up to the last couple of leagues, so they are somewhat basic. Also, I am only a Platinum level player, so I have Masters and Grandmaster players helping me with the tips. Can't be saying things that are too silly!

ABOUT TARA TALKS
I'm now collaborating with Zoomin.TV Games (a YouTube channel with over 300,000 subs) to bring little StarCraft II tips and gaming news to a mainstream gaming audience. I am on a mission to help new players get into competitive SC2 gaming!
I give the news, let people know what I think, then I relay a small StarCraft tip that I wrote with the help of high-level friends, and gameplay I recorded (for the most part). I hope you guys enjoy the content!

I think it's cool to show you are paying attention to the feedback, that will give you more credit for the 'mainstream' audience, I guess that's one of the many things people love from Day[9] for example. Maybe here in TL people is used to more high level analysis since there is so much information around this web, so probably you won't see much comments in this web.

In WoL I was a Protoss player, and I always used a FFE against Zerg and a quick Obs against Terran. Facing a Protoss was a pain in the ass since I was scared to find a cannon rush at my gates. But Mothership Core changed things in the Toss early game, so I basically switched to Zerg since the early game of the Zerg is pretty much the same from my point of view, of course, considering the changes in both T and P. Anyway, I don't like over analyse at my current level.

Keep it up.

Thanks! Yeah, I am aware that because it's me and because it's lower level stuff, the hardcore community members probably won't be as interested, which is why I didn't do this on my personal channel before I was contacted by ZoominTV.

I still think it's awesome to get support from people in the community for what I am trying to do in terms of getting more mainstream gamers in SC2 and help out the newbies, though!

I love Zerg, so grats on switching, BTW. Sexiest race! :D
