Great! I'm thinking about making a few VODs and TvZ guides myself. This will inspire me^^
Just gotta get merz to teach me how to record.
According to Reach, he is the fastest learner he has ever seen. He start bw only like 2/3 years ago. Infact, his bw history knowledge is so limited, he didn't even know what the map Guillotine was.

After watching the games, here are some of my thoughts:

- personally, I enjoying watching FPVODs where the VOD maker wins. It can either be a clean game from start to finish, focusing on the things you did well. Or it can be a comeback (like this VOD) where you fall behind but you demonstrate the steps to take in order to get back into the game and then take it home for the win.

- haha, ease up on the "here I fuck up..." lines. Humility is a good thing and you are for sure one of the most humble players but everyone messes up here and there. Self-confidence is still a good thing too.

- I'd really like it if you go into more detail about the playing style of various foreigners. You touched upon it lightly in regards to Mondragon's opening BO, what he likes to do and specifically how you counter it (Mondi cuts lings => you go double rax before marines). Stuff like this adds a personal touch and style so the VOD is just straight forward and you only talk about mechanics. Hearing your thought process aloud is great. I lol'ed at the "Peruvian zergs" line.
You were fairly behind at one point but the mix of your 2 dship drops, self-irradiating vessels at the nat, and knocking out 9 o'clock roughly all at the same time was art.

- Lastly, hope you do a ZvP game next.

Can you run through your hotkeys? Specifically when you make the switch from 567 CC to units, because that's a time I really struggle as an offracing Terran.

It's great to finally see some standard TvZs after all those mech builds

Good insight as well

Awesome, you're still a great TvZer.

Some things you could improve on:

- Building placement. Your barrackses were closely put together, but your starports and eng bays werent placed together. Also some depots were misplaced. I liked how you made a more narrow choke on the natural with depots though. Helped you out some when Mondragon tried to counter without paying attention.

- Getting bunkers on your third. Two or three bunkers (preferrably with a firebat or two as lings are often the biggest issue) there can really help you lategame.

- Im not sure if you are aware of the clone-technique(you probably are), but it works out really well when you get above 3-4 vessels, because you can stack them and hence it's harder for the zerg to scourge different vessels. Downside with this is that he can plague all of them easier. For me atleast irradiating manually one at a time like you did makes me feel unconfortable as the vessels arent continously moving.

- Your micro can of course be improved as you pointed out you are a macro player. Not that it was bad, but it could be better.

- Reinforcing your main army more often. This is sooo important when you go SK, because you will be able to win battles you wouldnt if you didnt reinforce. Some of the battles where you say "he had more lings than I thought so he won that battle" could have been won if you had reinforcements. If you fill up too many hotkeys, and cant control more of them efficiently get dropships. You did this though

- And lastly as you also mentioned queing up too many units in your barrackses, missing some depots etc(typical macrostuff).

Could be more, but that all I can think of right now.

Hope you make more of these, really enjoyed it, thank you

EDIT: Forgot to mention the energy upgrade on vessels. Getting this is very useful when you get above 8 vessels.
Live2Win is awesome. Happy new year scarabi!

Thanks alot! GG

I've seen people deal with the annoying lurkers below natural on destination by having a bunker there with a few marines. I always use lurkers at that spot on this map. If u do it while theres a battle going on it's a big chance your opponent won't notice them for the longest time.
