soO's Roach Control

soO has ridiculously good Roach control. Everyone knows it, all the best casters admit it. His small unit micro is insane, and we could all learn a thing or two! So that's what we're going to do today.

soO's Favorite Build

soO is a known force to be reckoned with. His control is intense. We covered how to use your units like him last week, but this week Shaft focuses on what soO claims is his favorite build order. This is an all-in, typical for a player like soO who puts so much stock in his ability to control units so precisely. If you want to practice this type of style, but also want to know a strong transition to the mid-game if things go south, this is the perfect video for you.

Understanding the Tri-Force Model: All-Ins Edition

There are only so many things you can invest in in SC2: three, actually. Technology, army, economy. You won't want to invest in these equally, so how do you know what to invest in, when, and why? Shaft explores these questions in this all-in edition of Crash Course!

How to Balance a Strong Economy with Not Dying in SC2!

This video is part 2/3 about the tri-force model, the idea that unequal spending within Starcraft leads to better, more optimized results. This video focuses on economic options within that model, and explores two specific mutalisk-speedling-baneling styles that appear at first glance deceptively similar. This model can be applied to any race in any situation, however.

In this video, Shaft uses the basic Zerg storyline to develop a framework for understanding the race's mechanics and tactical implementations particularly with regard to harassment-oriented tactics, self-sacrifice and natural selection, as well as instantaneous telepathic communication.

Basic Gameplay Settings for New Players

If you are a new player with the recent influx of F2P players, this video is for you. Before we discuss strategy or tactics or even the meta, all of which are likely to change with time, I want to focus on the most basic aspects of SC2, a way of making certain you put the cart before the horse, a way to ensure that your time is best spent improving in an effective manner to reach that next plateau that much sooner.

Greed & Gateways: Reading Your Opponent
This game shows the necessity of scouting your opponent rather than assuming what he is doing. The Zerg is prepared to play a standard macro game but scouts some shenanigans -- this video will explain those situations, how JimRising adapts, and how you should adapt as well.

Preventing the Death Ball (ZvP) - Trading & Transitions
Welcome to part two of our three part ZvP course on the Brood Lord Infestor composition. In order to adequately explain Zerg's position in the matchup, and how Zerg adapts to ideas as opposed to following build orders, we are breaking this series down into a few different parts. This part is about using your amazing economy, established in part one, to reduce your opponent's overall firepower in the midgame.
