In this 90+ minute video, we look at three different types of 1 gate expands, including early timing attacks, mid-range timing attacks, and tech-oriented play.

This is a fairly long video, so for those who may not have the time, I would recommend the first two sections (2:45-6:45 and 6:45-10:00). The last section is mostly just showing the advantages of preparing for certain timings.

i am not sure how much work it would be but given you said all that you probably have a script for it?

So could you do subtitles ? Or would it be too much work

For anyone having trouble with 1g expo variations just watch the last game between Parting and Life. Life played theorically a perfect game, he just faced some sick response from Parting.

Nice. I'd like to learn better ways of doing 1 gate expand builds in PvZ. Gonna watch the whole video when an opportunity presents itself.

Thanks!

Not really consolidated, no. I'd be happy to provide a detailed bio if you like, but here's a brief one. It's about two years outdated, though.

Actually it's all unscripted. You bring up an interesting point with subtitles, though, especially with regard to this particular video. It's too much work to do a full transcript, but I think I should definitely annotate certain parts that become hard to hear. Thanks for the idea!

Great advice for anyone who feels confident analyzing replays on their own!

Thanks! This series is called "Crash Course" so I'd recommend starting with that playlist. I do other kinds of content as well, if you're interested.
