EPTGSL Build Order Project - 2013 Season 2
About me
+ Show Spoiler +
Hi, I'm Tyral, I'm 26 and study physics. I follow the scene since WoL Beta. Currently I'm in diamond with Terran in Heart of the Swarm. I like to watch GSL and other big tourneys like, IEM, Dreamhack, etc.
I managed a thread like this before (GSL 2012 S5) , but got caught up in real life for a while.

Introduction
I hope you are as excited as I am for the first GSL individual league featuring Heart of the Swarm. Yes we had some events already (MLG winter championship, GSTL preseason, GSTL) and saw a glimpse of how HotS will look like, but the true competition lies in GSL individual league. Will we see the same players dominate? Will there be new rising stars? Which unit compositions will be viable in heart of the swarm. What cool new builds will the pros invent?
What this is about
There are two main goals that I want to archive with this thread:
Helping people
- find build-orders which are successful at the highest level of play
- decide which gsl games are worth watching
Therefore the analyzed games will be organized in two categories. One will be sorted by build-order, the other by gsl appearance.
The Project
Old System
Two seasons ago I tried to cover as many games as possible by myself. As it turns out this is quite a lot of work
. Though I managed to analyze 70 of 117 Code S Terran games, it was very exhausting and time consuming. This is why we will have a new system this time.The Deal
For every two analyzed games you submit I will submit one of my own. Same holds for partly analyzed games.
In terms of points which are introduced later. Per two points you earn I will analyze one part of a game. A completely analyzed game consists of six parts (build order, army composition, game-plan of each player).
An example how this could work:
Let’s assume there are 10 people who regularly submit analyzed games. Furthermore let’s say every person submits 5 games. This means:
- 5 games analyzed by each person
- 25 games analyzed by myself
- 75 games in total
Advantages of the new method:
- Possibility to analyze a lot more games with relatively low participation
- I will not die in trying to analyze all those games
- People can analyze what suits them, for example only build orders, only army compositions or only game plans
- better race distribution of analyzed games
Why should I contribute?
- You want to contribute to the community but don't know how or don't have much time. Analyzing some games can be done while watching or with minimal additional effort.
- if a lot of people submit minimal amounts of games a large amount of games can be covered. Additionally I will submit one analyzed game for each two submitted analyzed games as a little incentive.
- If more games in total are analyzed there is a higher possibility for you to find games that suit your style.
- you like zvp, zvz or pvp which I will not analyze.
- This will be the first GSL season featuring Heart of the Swarm. There will be a period of experimenting, a lot of new crazy strategies, all-ins and new solid macro-builds. Additionally there will be a new ladder season, where you can get an edge by using the builds the pros refined.
- You want to see your name on top of the contributer list.
How can I contribute?
Community
There is a starcraft 2 group for this thread. It's named
GSL Build Order Project.
You may want to join if at least one of the following is true:
- you want to meet other contributers of this thread
- you like to talk about seen VoDs
- you like to analyze games
- you want to talk about a really cool or really strange game you have seen
I will try to be there from time to time, too. Probably around 6-8pm (gmt +2) My SC-ID is Syen#341.
Announcement
If you already know which games you want to analyze, you can make a small post in this thread to avoid that someone else submits the same analyzed games. Please remember to announce which parts of the game you are analyzing, too.
Submitting
There are two possible ways. You can send me a pm or you can post directly in this thread. If you do the later please use spoilers. I will than add the game to the OP.
Content
You can submit a combination of build-orders, army compositions and game-plans of one or two players. You should however always include the game-ID, meaning which game you analyzed.
Point Value
You get 1 point for:
- army composition
- build-order
- game-plan
Since there are two players in each game you can gain a maximum of 6 points per game, 1 for each submitted part. Points have two uses. Firstly they are a score-keeping system to compare peoples contributions. Secondly they determine how many games I myself will analyze. Per two points you earn I will analyze one part of a game. (See “the Deal” above)
Format
- Use full description which game you analyzed (game-ID).
(Example: [Season 5 - Code S - Round of 16 - Group B - Match 3 - Set 1] [Prime]MarineKing vs [TSL]Symbol
or abbreviated [S5-S-16-B-M3-S1] [Prime]MarineKing vs [TSL]Symbol) - You should use a consistent notation. It would be easier for me if you use my proposed notation, but you don’t have to.
- Please use separators between each build-order step. Unfortunately line-breakings as separators do not help me at the moment, but you can use nearly any unique symbols. (example: ->,>>) Use + to connect build-order steps which are happening at the same time
- You do not have to include: coloring, square brackets, underscores, TLPD-ized names, TLPD-ized teams, a suggestion for build-order sorting. There are a lot of possibilities were you do not have to use parenthesis. However there are some cases were it would really help me if you would use those. (see below)
- You do not have to use lists
- If you write comments behind build-order steps, please put those in round brackets.
Format (optional)
+ Show Spoiler +
Underscores
You do not have to include underscores when Add-ons are constructed (example: use RaxT instead of Rax_T)
Square brackets
You do not have to use square brackets for locations. You can either write the location index directly after the building or parted with spaces. (example: use CC n or CCn instead of CC[n])
Round brackets
There are quite a lot of cases were you do not have to use parenthesis. If you are omitting round brackets, the timing has to be before build-order keywords and there has to be a separation space before the build-order part. (See example 1)
- A supply number before a build-order keyword with a space between those (example: 13 Rax)
- If you use a single word after an @ (example: @RaxT)
- This can be followed by a percentage number (example: @RaxT 50%)
- There can be 1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th before this (examples: @2nd Rax 99% ,@2nd gas)
- If you use a ingame time with or without @ (example: @15:00, @9:36, 15:00, 9:36)
- @ followed by a quantitative upgrade (examples: @1/0, @1/1/0)
- A number followed by a ressource. There can be a space between those (examples: @100 gas, @50minerals)
- There can be 'next' before this (example: @next 100gas)
- Or 'total' behind this(example: @100minerals total)
Analysis Tips
General+ Show Spoiler +
How to analyze games?
Just watch the production-tab and write down when things are starting ignoring pylons, supply depots and units. If you want to analyze both build-orders, you will usually have to watch the first part of the VoD twice, once for each race. For army compositions you obviously can use the unit-tab additionally, which is used more often in the later stages of GSL games. Game-plans can for example be done after watching the game completely.
You can use a dual monitor setup, a tablet, watch in window mode or write everything down on paper or use something else that works for you.
Build-orders+ Show Spoiler +
How long should I keep track of build-orders?
My personal breaking point is about 10 ingame-minutes. Therefore the 10m00s or 10m at the end of build-orders which I analyzed. In most games this is about the point, where the 3rd base is getting operational for Terran and Protoss and the 4th for Zerg. After that general game-plans and which structures you should have, are most of the time more useful than a detailed build-order. Often times a lot of fights happen after that point anyway and the GSL observers set more emphasis on the unit-tab. Both make watching the production-tab really hard.
Gas Timings
Sometimes it's difficult to notice all gas-timings, especially if there are fights before 10m. What I like to do is to pause the game at 10m and check if my noted gases match the ones, which are taken on the minimap. Obviously this is only necessary if you noted less than 4 gas on 2bases or less than 6 on 3bases.
Units and build-orders
Sometimes it's important to mention what units to built and when. You can just add those to the normal build order flow. Additionally you can note when to start production of a certain unit type. (compare [S2-S-32-D-M3-S2] or [S2-S-32-C-M2-S2])
Army Compositions+ Show Spoiler +
Changing army compositions
There are some ways you can handle those. You can just add units which are added with a plus sign. (compare: [S2-S-32-A-M2-S1]). You can remove units which are no longer used in the army composition with a minus sign. (compare: [S2-S-32-D-M3-S2]) Or you can write out the new composition connecting units with + or / (compare: [S2-S-32-F-M3-S1]).
Unit numbers and army compositions
In some cases it may be interesting to know how many units of a given type have been built. Examples are
- the 1collosus → Templar Tech (compare [S2-S-32-C-M2-S2])
- how many hellions are built in the early game by Terran before they switch into bio (compare [S2-S-32-D-M4-S3])
- early game ling production of Zerg (compare [S2-S-32-D-M4-S1])
Optional Upgrades and army compositions
There are some upgrades that should be noted in the army composition. These are either upgrades, which aren't used regularly or which indicate a certain playstyle. Sometimes even the order of upgrades can make a notable difference in playstyles. This especially holds for blink or charge first in PvT. While the first often times indicates more collosus-heavy-play the later hints to more emphasis on HT-play. Then there is the possibility to play a style where you get templar-tech for feedback and archons but don't get storm for quite a while. (compare [S2-S-32-F-M3-S2])
- Charge, Blink, Burrow, Storm, Overlord Drop, Neural
Obligatory Upgrades and army compositions
Those should not be mentioned in the army composition. It's obvious that you will get those if you are using the corresponding units in your army composition. Examples are:
- stim, shields, shells, ling speed, bane speed, roach speed, hydra range, …
Protoss+ Show Spoiler +
Core ambiguity
Since the addition of the Mothership-Core to the Protoss arsenal the description Core is unfortunately not unambiguous anymore. Therefore try to use CCore and MCore for Cypercore and Mothership-Core respectively.
Mothership-Core Timing
Since there are a lot of possibilities when to get this exactly, mothership-core should be mentioned in build-orders (compare [S2-S-32-F-M5-S1])
Early Gateway production
If you want to decide if a Protoss player is playing aggressive in the early game or defensive, there are a few indicators. Most notably chronoboost, but that one is near impossible to catch when analyzing from VoDs. Therefore we have to look at how many and which units are produced out of the first gateway, before expand or further teching. This helps in identifying if the Protoss puts on pressure in the early game or how greedy he expands. (compare [S2-S-32-F-M5-S1])
Terran+ Show Spoiler +
CC landing timings
Often times CCs are built in the Terran main and are only later flown to their expansion place. Since the exact moment when to take a 3rd determines when there is an income spike, which is necessary for the build-order to work, those moments should be noted.
Add-ons and corresponding structures
Since there is no note in the production-tab that indicates to which structures add-ons are added, there is no easy way to determine the building type, on which it is constructed. But there are some techniques that can help you in identifying the building type.
- If you keep track of which production buildings were constructed until this point and there is only one type, than you can be sure. (compare [S2-S-32-A-M2-S3])
- Secondly if you know that a Tech-Lab is researching an upgrade, you know that it is tied to the corresponding building and that this building is not constructing an add-on. (compare: [S2-S-32-F-M4-S1])
- You can look at unit production. For example if there is only one factory and it is producing hellions, it obviously can't construct an add-on.
- The production-tab gives additional information, if the same add-on type is constructed on different production buildings. In this case there will be two separated add-on symbols. This can help in excluding a building-type.
When to mention add-ons
Those should be mentioned in the build-order exactly at the moment were they are constructed and are not merely a note what future add-ons a building will have. This is the case because otherwise there would be no way to decide, if for example you should get stim first in a TvP or if you should get the add-ons first.
Comparison between add-on and production building notation
2Rax means there are 2 Barracks constructed, Rax4T2R means there are 4 tech-labs and 2 reactors constructed at bare raxes. Add-on quantities are always noted directly before the add-on abbreviation, building-quantities are noted before the building abbreviation.
Cases like +2RaxT are not used in this notation to avoid confusion, even though they would be unambiguous (+2RaxT means +2Rax+RaxT), but one could in theory think this would mean that there are 2Techlabs constructed on Raxes which is not the case.
Zerg+ Show Spoiler +
Queen number
Queens are very important for Zerg, while some conclusions can be drawn from gas timings its really hard to know the exact number you should build in the early game if those are not noted in the analysis
Unit production
As far as possible unit production should be noted in the early game, since its so important for Zerg to balance between drone and unit production. You do not have to use exact numbers if a lot of units are produced. (compare [S2-S-32-D-M4-S1])

Drone heavily until aggression is scouted and take early lair ( 6:00 ) , take 3rd when aggression is held and use superior economy to win muta game. Go for 2nd carapace before attack - a wise move if you don't engage in the time delta between the tier 2 time and tier 1 time, as expected this led to initially defensive muta positioning. Constantly use ling backstabs.
Gameplan
Crazy :+ Show Spoiler +Fast expand and go for ling/bane aggression off two base on 6:00. Not as an all-in, taking gases and lair and droning behind the poke. Go into muta / ling. In this game the aggression was held with insufficient damage leading to an earlier lair and 3rd by opponent. Attempt to rebalance by taking a very early 4th.

Fast expand into quick lair for roach+nydus attack off 2base, get two overlords near Terrans base so you can nydus both main and expo. Even if inital nydus is killed keep attacking and nydusing both bases to stretch the terran out (make overlord into overseer to help with mines), in this game terran takes enough damage to transition to macro game ( falls to one base with many scv's lost ) so transition to 3base ling/bane/roach/muta mid game. Get burrow for bane mines and combine muta harass with nydus. Get a few infestors to help with medivac harasss and then a few corruptors. Go hive for broodlords ( Just 4 to clear mines ) then go for ling/bane/ultra/infestor.
Comment by IcemanAsi+ Show Spoiler +
This game was ASTOUNDING! The attack was completely scouted and initally looked completely held, but tenacious nydus attacks eventually wore the terran multitasking down to where he took enough damage to go mid game. Late game was an amazing zerg balanced composition focusing on ling/bane/ultra then later infestors with just a few corruptors and broodlords to handle speicalized threats (mines & drops ). Combined with astounding burrow play. Stunning stuff.

Game-plan
Innovation:+ Show Spoiler +Turtle in the early game then push out with 1/1, planning to hit right before storm is completed. Innovation pulls most of his SCVs with this push, making it all-in.
Game-plan
Rain:+ Show Spoiler +Stay very defensive early game, never venturing outside of base with anything but the initial Zealot and observers, while teching up and upgrading. Very heavy on observer spread and activity to always be aware of Terran movement. Would likely have pushed out once maxed with 2/2 and storm.

Game-plan
Innovation:+ Show Spoiler +Get an early reaper to scout and react to opponent. Upon scouting early twilight council the game-plan becomes survival. Innovation immediately starts getting tanks and setting up 2 bunkers in base while producing marines. After defending the push, techs up a little then pushes with MMM before toss can get storms and recover.
Note: During the blink stalker attack he targets the MsC very quickly, removing high-ground vision and essentially ruining the push at that moment.
Game-plan
Rain:+ Show Spoiler +All-in push with blink stalkers to end the game quickly. When the push fails, goal is to survive long enough to get storms and recover. The crucial step to delay Terrans counter-push is to attack his main with a DT drops and warp-ins from a Warp prism

Game-plan
ByuN:+ Show Spoiler +He takes map presence at this time (first medivacs) and then does a GODLY marine drop at 10:30 w/ 2 medivacs which kills 3 zealots, a collosus, and a few probes despite being scouted.
He picks up and boosts into the natural, while running up another 20 or so marines with the 3rd and 4th medivac to maul the units trying to run down the ramp. At this point he has done irreparable damage.
Build branches
ByuN+ Show Spoiler +- With this quick Ebay, you can add a turret with your bunker down at the nat, especially if you scout quick council (dark templars) . Keep the reaper alive as long as you can, don't worry about killing any probes really. The bunker at the nat is vital for holding off 1 gate Mothership Core aggression, so be sure to start that early if you suspect aggression. Look for any signs of aggression or tech. ByuN kept his alive and kept scouting past the 8 minute mark.
- Against Stargate openers, put your marines in your mineral line and run the scvs away if the marines all die. They might, as the oracle can kill at least 4 of them. However, it wont have much energy to kill any more scvs after that. Make a turret and rebuild your marine count. Consider an additional turret at the natural. Beware of void ray all ins, scout to see if they don't transition.
- Most terrans I've seen in the GSL doing a variation of this will generally add reactored Firebros to counter chargelots.
- Additionally, many have been following this up with an SCV all in with all but 20 of their scvs and with 2 to 4 firebats. If the SCVs connect with the stalkers and not the zealots, you're golden. Hellbats and your few added marauders being healed will hold the line against zealots really well. Without great storms and collosus focus firing, they tend to die to this. Try if if you like.
- Against anything that is not an FE from T/P or 3 base play from zerg, add bunkers and play defensive. Get a good arc to maximize the DPS of dem marines. They are very squishy at this point, as long as they don't melted they should vaporize most anything at this point with quick stim and +1.

Q1: Where can I watch the games?
You can find the games at:
http://www.gomtv.net
Look for WCS KR Season 1. But you will probably need to get a ticket.
There are only 2 ways to watch GSL for free
Q2: How do I gather the data?
All of the information is gathered by watching GSL VoDs and observing the Production- or Army-Tab while watching the game. I use a Dual monitor setup so that I can easily type while watching GSL in fullscreen. In TvZ and TvP I only observe the Terran Production-Tab but both Players army compositions; in TvT I observe both Players Production- and Army-Tab. I try to type everything without pausing to be maximally efficient, but sometimes in TvT this is not quite possible.
Since I’m just watching VoDs it can happen that the production-tab is not open for quite a while, but this mostly happens after 10 minutes. If it still occurs often times it is possible to reconstruct what was built between this period, by rewatching, because most buildings and upgrades take quite some time to finish. Alternatively I can use the Korean stream, which has a different observer.
Q3: Why only GSL games?
It is widely accepted that Korean Players are the best out there. If I want to mimic a progamer I would want to pick a Korean. I’m not using OSL, Proleague or smaller leagues because I own a GSL-ticket and the VoDs are easily accessible. Aside from that Code S still has the hardest competition out there in my opinion.
Q4: Why do I use 10 ingame minutes as a breaking point?
This is more or less arbitrary. I don’t capture full games because in the later stages of the game there is more action all over the place and more buildings are constructed. Hence it is way harder to follow the production-tab. Furthermore in the later stages of the game the GSL observers set more focus on the army-tab. Finally often times Build Orders aren’t that relevant in the later stages of the game anyway, because you have to adapt how your opponent is playing and the general macro gets worse. For these stages of the game I find it more useful to have general game plans. For example how many Barracks and which army composition do I want to have.
Obviously I could have used ingame timings like for example the 100 supply mark or when the 4th CC is built, but I found it easier to just pick an arbitrary time. If you want to use a specific build-order for your own ladder games, those 10 minutes are enough to pick interesting ones and you can use the VoD to refine the later stages of the build-order.

There are only 2 ways to watch GSL for free
- For Code S and Up&Downs only the first set of the day is free. This means that in GSL Group stage you can watch about 1/15 of all games for free and in the later rounds about 1/5. For Code A the first set of every game is free (1/3). You can however not watch complete matches for free without a ticket.
- The live streams are free up to HD quality
