Aloha everyone!

I decided to use technology and make a video blog for once! I just explain what eSports stuff I've been up to over the last month and then dive into analysing a see-saw ZvT vs Iaguz from ACL Sydney.




Hopefully the analysis gives some good insights into how you should structure muta-ling runbys, counters and harass when behind against a terran opponent and unable to afford a Hive-transition.

I'll be aiming for another vlog in the week or two before IEM Singapore to let everyone know how my trainings been faring (steadily top 100 GM on KR atm!).

Thanks for watching!

man, ZvT is sooooo hard to play, everytime I do these counter attacks I just get shut down by one or two widow mines and my 4th gets sniped off
that was an awesome game, you should do more video blog!

Thanks! I definitely plan to, I love writing but it's easier in some ways to just talk to a camera . I think just a lot of practice to stay calm in these situations has finally paid off where I split ahead of my counter always to absorb mine-hits and pre-emptively evacuate drones and split up my defensive army into "a-move clumps" that I can just throw at the terran once he's on creep to scare him and slow him down. It's cool because HotS made ZvT so much harder but it's forced me to become a better player so it's actually a win for me

Nice blog but don't disrespect your opponent so much that you would post a video of them playing without their permission. As a student of social sciences, I will tell you that this can cause severe trust and trauma issues in the lower and mid brains.

this a return to the series you ran a couple of years a go but with a different name? I really enjoyed that.

Really well done, great quality, and nice overall. I have to say that you gave good suggestions and some general ones can be applied to other games as well(Like BW of course). Pressure is the name of the game in Star Craft.

Nice to see someone remembers 'PiG's POV' haha. I know a lot more about the game these days! But unfortunately don't have time right now to do a weekly show.

I've just been putting all of my youtube content under the "frying the bacon" title whether it's reviews/blogs/interviews. I'm hoping to do more of these analyses in the future.

@3FFA Thanks for the positive feedback yo

I can't wait to watch this once WCS AM finishes! ZvT mid/late game, and ZvP early/mid are the most difficult for me
