*Newest Vod*
1/03/2015 TvP Innovation vs SoS Analysis of Unorthodox TvP macro game



Hey all my name is Evan Jaewon Kim, I am a GM Terran player and I am starting an instructional webseries of educational videos about specific Terran related questions/ideas. The goal of this webseries is to hopefully build a video archive of answers to commonly asked questions and situations that new players who are climbing the ladder are inevitably going to encounter as
they climb the ranks.

My goal is to create a video archive of helpful answers explained fully in depth so that you might find solutions to the infinite amount of problems that playing sc2 can create. This will not be directed towards newbies, in other words all of my videos will go over advanced tactics such as game plans and understanding how the decisions made behind the players affects their game plans/goal to win the game.

Funny enough EJK, as soon as I just got done viewing your video, I decided to jump into a game and it turned out to be a TvP.

Here's the replay: http://sc2replaystats.com/replay/344992

I don't really have time to play starcraft anymore, but this kind of thing was exactly what I used to hope for in term of terran's contribution to the community. Believe it or not, hearing your logic and analysis of different situations are factors that make starcraft such an enjoyable game to observe.

yes i agree. Artosis said in an interview that he saw starcraft 2 as such a beautiful game. ANd I am just trying to point out all the little details that make this game so complex and cool to play and watch

This is really cool! One thing that can really catch me is a when a protoss often goes early gate aggression (say 10gate) for an aggressive zealot/stalker+stalker/msc push. Often theyll try and run by any bunker (if one is up) and just cause damage everywhere- standing behind mineral lines, kiting and targeting your very low marine count, etc.. If it hits early enough (by surprise and/or you see it coming) is it worth it to cancel a CC off a Reaper FE (let's assume planning to head into 2nd and/or third rax follow up as opposed to 1/1/1) and turtle up in your main?

What's the best response, and if you can cover scenarios where they try and put up extra gates to contain and/or break you?

Somewhat related question, what would also be the best response to something like Liquid`Hero's game vs Polt on Heavy Rain where he proxied his first gateway for early aggression (but cybercore in main and then later expanding)? I've seen variations where Protoss even puts the pylon and gateway at the ramp. I usually die quickly but don't see it often enough to really practice against it.

Why comments disabled ?
On oracles, my question would've been if it's 4player map and you scout him last with reaper/scv.

i don't know, youtube was acting really weird when i was uploading the video. I had re upload it and like i couldln't title it and add the information and it was listed as private to begin with...and i had to keep typing captchas coz YT thought i was a robot wtf


on a 4 player map, unless the protoss does a blind proxy oracle and is betting on getting lucky, it's impossible to do the proxy oracle build that I was going over. With that said, I always send a scv at 13 to a close position and rally my reaper to the other one. That way the last position you scout will be cross spots. And you should have 6 marines by the time the oracle gets to your base so just keep them positioned near the mineral line until you can scout the protoss
