Hello everyone,

Recently, I've had a lesson with InControl from team Eg and Gosucoaching. The lesson went fantastically well, and luckily, I recorded it! So it's beena while before I figured out that own3d.tv has a very generous file size limit for their uploads, as well as easy share. So I've uploaded the video to both of those websites. I have already posted the uploaded file in to Khaladas' great thread PvZ InControl Coaching, but I've put it on Own3d.tv for easier viewing, and I felt this might deserve its own thread for more people to see this.

The lesson focuses on PvT, expansion timings, unit composition,etc. Basically, I used to 4 gate in PvT (no other match-up), and I really didn't like that. If you want to know, I'm in High Platinum (So that's the skill level of the lesson). So basically this went over all the little intricacies of this PvT style, which is essentially a 2 gate robo expand in to 4 gate way robo stargate. Needless to say my win rate in PvT has shot up!

So without further ado, and here all the links:

own3d.tv VOD

Easy Share Link (Sorry, but this is theonly website with big enough file capacity)

Khaladas' Mediafire link (Thanks)

Replay Pack

Once again, thanks InControl for the help, and thanks for permission on letting me post this. It's a great service to the the community.

Mods: I didn't know what to label this, so I'll just label it as Discussion, as people will probably discuss the lesson in this thread.

EDIT: Adding that I'm in Platinum so people know the skill level of the lesson. Added Mediafire link.

sweet thanks, I love these things. I always like taking these types of lessons and comparing the builds given to similar builds of other top players and seeing the stylistic differences. I've got my own builds but can always learn from shit like this.

big thumbs up for sharing this, and kudos to InControl for giving his approval.

i found this to be pretty damn helpful, altough i think incontrol should have pointed out that your micro/positioning was pretty sloppy during the major engagements. you didnt use guardian sheild and most of your zealots where blocked behind your stalker concave. I noticed it mainly because this is a mistake i make too often myself wich sometimes results in me losing a battle that i could and should have won with some better micro/positioning.

PvT is by far my most difficult matchup. I've only watched the first half hour so far, and I already feel l've gotten a lot out of it. Thanks so much for sharing your lesson with us, and thanks to InControl for being such an outstanding member of the community and supporting the sharing of his lessons!

Sorry bout that, the other Khaladas one's are in Strategy so I thought these would be placed here as well. Anyway, I uploaded a replay pack, so that people can see the gam'e being played out if they want to.

We must have missed them. As these become more frequent they cannot all be in the Strategy section without some sort of organizational thread.

We'll get back to you about how these will be handled, for now it can stay in Strategy.

Thanks for these! My PvT has taken a bit of a nosedive, so any tips are appreciated.

Thank you so much for this. The only matchup anyone is ever talking about right now is PvZ and it is seriously pissing me off as PvT is way cooler
