Thanks for the quick response!
This video is great for me 'cause I love the cloak banshee opener.
A question about the scout timing - should you 16 scout on 2 player maps as well with gas first? I've been 14 scouting for a long time now and I find that it allows me to check their gas timing and then change my followup based on that (tank push/more banshees vs late gasses and earlier raven vs the earlier gasses). Is the 14 scout redundant with gas first?

actually i was thinking after i made the video, and I think 14 is ok because like you said you can check the gas timing and change your play based on that which I think is nesecary for the build

Yeah, I sat for abit trying to find, found Lowko and Fenner, Lowko had a few ones, but he isn't committed to SC2, his channel is all flavor of the month games, and just a little SC2, so didn't feel like indulging there.

Really liked your Zerg one though, Soulkey vs Maru one.

He used to be active before, but not doing much lately. I think he's practicing more, traveling more, think he moved to America and stuff, but he's been lurking on the Allthingszergs for a bit, and have a youtube channel that's pretty nice. But he does a lot of "lordofthelings" so he just makes lings, and stuff like that, maybe trying to get the whole youtube thing to work, I'm not sure.

Really prefer the more in depth stuff xD

Thanks EJK. These videos are really good and it was great for me to sit down and watch some after having not played for so long and being unaware of current meta. <3 Keep it up!

Hey EJK just want to say I absolutely love these videos! I've watched them from the start and I can see you are improving very fast as you go. Keep it up!

I noticed your last few videos are a lot shorter which is typically good for those that have low attention spans. I would just like to share my feedback and say that I do like the shorter versions in some cases, although I don't think you should stop doing long (1 hour etc) videos completely. When you are going over a complex subject or something that a lot of people struggle with it is really beneficial to go through several examples (with some pausing/rewinding) to really solidify the knowledge you are sharing. Maybe like 1 in 5 videos could be long length version?

Also just some other ideas to keep your series interesting and fun, you could do different types of videos. I'd like to see videos of you laddering and talking through your game as it happens (that could be really cool).

Thanks again EJK for your contributions to the community!

Hey Vies, I probably won't be making any indepth videos for the forseeable future at least until sometime in july! It generally takes 2-3 hours for me to make a long video and o nly about 1 to make a shorter one and my practice for WCS qualifiers coming up.

hmm the ladder videos I might do if there aren't any videos for a strategy that I want to go over but there aren't any great sources on

Your training is no.1 for sure. Best of luck in WCS mate!

Just had a thought! What would be really cool is some videos about preperation for a tournament, how you approach it (practically and mentally). I think a lot could benefit from that!

Yo EJK, we played on ladder once or twice :p
Just want to tell you this is awesome stuff and really should help all master players to catch up to gm level. its a bit too deep for lower levels off play i think, but who cares. Theres enough stuff for them to check out. I really love what you're doing here and hope to see more in future I would like to see some more TvT Vod's, especially with late-lategames, what compositions they go for, and how they finish off their opponent. It's hard to fins good TvT's that go this long, i know but thats part of the reason why i sometimes struggle in super late-game stages in TvT.
Thank you very much for the VODs You've done so far

Nice video on Taeja vs Zest. Taejas slightly off-beat build orders catch his opponents off guard and are definitely really nice. Thing is I feel that versus ladder players who don't react in the optimal way to what they see, the metagame element of using these builds can be lost (players who go for risky plays regardless of scouting the gas first etc).
The CC first build that he used in particular (CC first into 15 rax 16 gas), is so greedy.. CC first into 16 gas and 2 rax->medivacs? So risky (in TvP).

That build is risky. But you have to factor in the difference between playing a ladder game and playing vs a very macro protoss (zest). The risk goes down a lot when you are playing a specific player and you can recognize his style
