It's been said before but once again, thanks a lot for those podcasts Day[9]! They're very helpful.
But by listening to these podcasts, the game feels a lot simpler. Just like you said in your last podcast, players with playstyles that once felt very strong against me suddenly feel weak and sluggish and it's almost effortless for me to beat them thanks to utilizing your advice, my winratio went from 40% to 70% on one rank higher in a very short period of time and now players are asking me for "best rank" and get pissed when they hear a low one :p. Every action I do now feels a lot more powerful, and when I get to lategame it feels like I've already won.

On your last podcast you talked about how you practiced all the way from D until you felt very comfortable with Peaks. I think it would be interesting if you made a podcast dedicated to practice time.
Something that goes over planning the time you use for playing starcraft to practice, what kind of breaks do you take during long practice sessions, when do you analyze your replays - during a practice session after each game? in the end of the set? are single player maps viable to practice specific things faster, like muta micro for instance?
Many times people say it's a good idea to take a break for a while and return to playing later, and that it'll help you improve. What are your thoughts on that? Maybe there's some core element in practice that taking a break activates, but can also be activated in another way to get the same result (faster)?
It's obvious that the more you practice, the faster you improve. But some people clearly improve faster than others in equal frames of time. Those people probably use the things you already talked about - building specific triggered actions that work well, testing tactics on various levels of players to fine tune, etc, but even amongst those who improve faster there are different levels. What is the correct way to handle your practice time, or maybe it doesn't matter how spread your practice around and it all comes down to playing a lot while remembering to use all your best mind techniques until you can win consistently?

Thank you Day[9]! These podcasts are awsome, you have to be one of the most awsome people to ever set their foot on TL!
|
Every fifth day did you say? hmm, thanks for the great podcasts!
|
I just wanted to say Thanks for the awesome podcasts, they are very informative. I really like how you structure your 'lectures' with theory followed by examples, and how your comments always inspire me to think about the situations by myself 
I'm quite new to competitive Starcraft, but I can imagine players of all levels enjoying (and learning from) these podcasts!

Day.
I would really really like you to explain how to approach the new 'fantasy' build that fantasy used in the recent proleague match against jaedong and the varation he used in the first medusa game of the finals.
I can't rely on just mutas like jaedong, how is the best way to approach it. The standard varations are two factory push with 4 rax + 1 starport or 6 rax-1fact/2port. Both varations are giving me trouble. It seems like terran is unkillable and has many many different timings they can press me. Each game seems so different that having a laidout plan or reactions or even attempting to force terran to react doesn't seem to work very clearly. I know its a complicated/brilliant playstyle.
How should I approach it?

Can i ask that you change the banner :S? The background is close to pink, the ipod is gay and you have an expression like youre staring at some huge ass. Which might be great for some fangirl site but it just makes me spam page down out of embarassment.
Thanks!
