not in the traditional sense, unless its made a resurgence in the past couple of months since i stopped following progaming. sair reaver used to be a build used for an entire game, then it became a mid game build used to take islands/expansions before transitioning into another build for lategame and even that eventually died off. | ||

I've always wondered how vulture patrol micro and could't figure it out with the help of guides. Now with the video i finally understood how it works. Thanks again. | ||

Haha, I understand. I just mentioned it because I had just watched TL Attack with Chill and he kept mentioning how some players knew lots of fancy micro tricks but didn't know build orders/mechanics. Sair/Reaver is still common as a transitional strategy. Protosses often open Sair/Reaver and force the Zerg to deal with it, then switch to ground. It is true that that build doesn't use D-web, though. | ||

Some suggestions that people might wonder about/haven't thought of; - How to drop units while moving - How to probe/scv/drone jump - Mineral slide for scouting purposes/breaking chokes or early game contains. (Works to break stasised chokes as well) - How to set rallypoints effectively (by using the F-keys) - Using dmatrix vs lurkers (terran only) - Eraser. Irradiate 2 vessles and put them on patrol over your opponents mineral line (terran only) Those are the ones I could think of right now. Keep up the good work! How do you set rally points effectively by using the F-Keys? (I play zerg) | ||

1) huge thank you for posting this stuff here. I've been practicing macro / micro etc against computers and this will give me some fun stuff to break things up and keep me engaged (and maybe break that 40 apm barrier). 2) I nominate this thread to be added to this thread under the beginner or possibly advanced section. 3) I might suggest that a lot of the things in the aforementioned thread, both in the beginner and advanced sections, could be explained much more clearly with a video. 4) Some people have suggested that magic box be covered. It is somewhat covered by this video although I think you would do a much better job actually explaining it. But just linking to that video with a 3 sentence description should work pretty well if you want to save some time. 5) A very easy way to practice some of these things, I've found/guessed, is to create a single player game against a computer, (possibly) use power overwhelming, tech to whichever units you need to perform the action, and save just before doing the technique. I could create some save files for the applicable techniques if you'd like to link to them from the videos for immediate newbie see, newbie do practice. I don't know where I'd host them though. I think it could possibly be pretty neat, actually, for later videos, if you could set up one of these saved games, play through it in your video, and then have the newb replicate the exact same technique from that saved game for, say, a quality reaver drop or a pro tvz micro battle. | ||

That said, I was slightly dissapointed by the latest Essentials video. While you explained well how the technique is done, you did not include any examples of professional gamers doing it. Also, as a Protoss player, I would have appretiated a demonstration of Carrier stacking. Nevertheless, I commend your good work. Keep it up. | ||
