14 Scout with SCV, if Chrono on gateway, or early Gateway, bunker before 2nd Rax, if not, you are safe to delay bunker until after 2nd Rax.
If you don't scout before reaper, or don't catch 10gate Zealot moving across the map AND don't bunker, your only option is to pull workers to defend until you can repel the attack with x2 marine + reaper

Thanks, I think I've made some improvements to my play because of the series.

Can you make a video about how to deal with mass pheonix colossus? And what composition to use in particular.
Made a quicker video on pheonix colsi composition and how to beat it, hope it helps!

Requesting analysis of MKP vs FanTaSy in recent proleague games, MKPs build particularly would be very interesting to hear what you thought.

Really good guides man, keep it up!
A bit more brevity and focus would probably not go amiss though. Whilst a lot of what you say in each guide is useful in a general sense, I think more focus on the key goal of the video (e.g how to deal with colossi or Maru's aggressive style) would help the final product. It gets a little frustrating when you pause a lot to repeat or emphasise information that has little to do with the title of the guide, for example spending a few minutes on reaper scout patterns in a video about when to use bio-mine).
Maybe save your clearly in-depth expertise for other, more general analysis video's?
Just some constructive criticism. Love the guides and look forward to seeing more in the future!

ty, these helped me a lot

Hi EJK!
I just played a TvP game where my opponent went for this heavy phoenix-colossus composition. While playing, I was thinking about the video you made about it but the problem was that my opponent had 6 colossus at 18minutes + some cannons at his third where he was sitting patiently, whereas in your video, you engage your opponent who only has 3 colossus and is not camping at one of his bases.
What would you do if you were in my situation where the protoss has way too many colossus?
here is the replay if you want to have a look 
thx!

If the protoss makes more colsi, he's relying on colsi I would make a lot more vikings, probably go up to 20-25 max and also try to take advantage of his defensive positioning and get up on bases on him (make sure your economy is a lot stronger then his coz he can't really be aggressive with pheonix colsi cannons

Thx! I think I've been doing a better job in my more recent videos, trying to stay on track with the title of the video and give bullet points at the end to kind of sum everything up too

Well, would you then add a 3rd starport? What troops would you sacrifice in order to produce so many vikings? I suicided some scvs in my game to get more supply but, I added ghosts which werent as useful as you said in your video (sooo many phoenix xD)
I suggest you take a look at the replay because I'd have said the same thing before playing this game (the guy is GM so his strat is quite strong) and I still dont know what would be the best response and the best timings to abuse.

well, your upgrade's are really bad for going cc first, You don't start 2-2 until 14 minutes into the game (should start closer to 12).
You also fought down a chokepoint...if you came in from a flank with your bio, easy cleanup on the colsi and you have 11 ghosts, too many for no high templar. Only need around 5 but you mostly just lost the battles because you either engaged in a line with your army and didn't setup flanks and then there was another time you tried to engage into forcefields and 2 time warps as well

Just finished a video about the new TvZ 8 minute Hellbat Marine timing attack going around
TvZ - 2base Hellbat Medvac Timing Push
Very simple, yet aggressive build to add into your arsenal vs zergs!

I changed the videos up, I did a video on a TvP game that INnovation played on his stream, let me know what you guys think about it, if there are stuff i should be going over that I missed and what you like/don't like from the video

Thanks for your videos!
A request for a video/videos- some overview of current TvT builds and their interactions with each other such as which builds to use on which maps, which are safest, and which builds counter what and how to react to the different builds etc.

I think this was one of the best ones yet. Timely, precise, succinct.
