First thing I want to say as to not mislead anyone is that division 1 is not stronger than division 2 etc, in fact it is one of the weaker groups.
Having said that I think the games I am/will be uploading are pretty good and entertaining.
+ Show Spoiler +
So as I did with WC3 I am uploading HD vods of myself playing SC2.
I haven't started commentating my games yet but I am definitely going to start once I am satisfied with my builds on all matchups and can go into depth about the reasoning behind my actions.
Here are the last 3 games I've uploaded
Game 1 ZvT:

Game 2 ZvP:

Game 3 ZvZ:

Currently I'm uploading zerg games but I will likely branch off to the other matchups soon.

Unrelated but hilarious:
So I changed my recycling bin icon to be a transparent box and it happens to fit perfectly over a certain area of my wallpaper..

How do we know which Division number is the highest? I mean Blizzard must have put it up somewhere right?
|
They are all equal
They are just subdivisions of the platinum division
Browder said they divided them because when people see themselves move from 40 to 20 it's more rewarding that moving from 3500 to 3300, among other reasons.

nydus is just completly overpowered now..
|
I feel like nydus is counterable, but they are very strong. I think a lot of players are just raging about them and not doing anything to stop them. Same with reapers.
|
Why did someone steal OverSky's name 
|
I'll catch up to you eventually... once I stop losing to Zerg all day. We were trading off 1st and 2nd for a while ^_^. (I'm zOObie on that list)
|
Well then, let's see how many games I can mass today, I might catch up again...
When I saw the ZvZ trailers I hoped to see myself playing but alas you picked another ZvZ to throw on youtube 
|
You got some nerve to 10 pool me but you just wait, in a week ill be back to my normal self so hopefully we'll have more game(s) then.
|
How have you played so many games my lawd.
Thanks for releasing these VODs. Keep it up sir.
|
Aww Oversky, you're showing my ZvT replay.
You shouldn't show that one though, I got raped pretty hard. Was trying out fast vulture harass with +10dmg upgrade, which doesn't work very well.
PS: I didn't realize that the detector overlords were that fast. Definitely cost me the game losing all those banshees.

The Nydus Worm looks beyond imba. Wow. 
What's the sound you have at your nat all the time, sounds like slime pouring or something. It's not at your main for some reason.
|
Good to see you doing so well after all the shit people gave you for practicing wc3 to get ready for sc2.
|
Thanks a lot for the vods but a replay pack would be even nicer.

Wow, nice.
I think you should've spread out your ovies a little more though. :p
Having that creep all around your base would've been so nice. Makes it even easier to shift from base to base for defense.
|
Could u please upload a VOD from you LOSING to a terran? That would be great =)
|
I am holding my breath for those replays :D
edit: and not just the wins, i hope u include ur losses too :D
|
upload the win over david kim imo :O
|
That ZvP was really pathetic and clearly demonstrates the problem with zerg.
May i point out that when you win the game you haven't even seen the protoss' base yet? At all?
What kind of game is it that you can just do a build and not care what your opponent is doing - you might as well have been playing with yourself. (Pun intended?)

Thats just how pro platinum league is in sc2

Nice vids inReach. I was expecting ZvZ to be the most boring match up but I was pleasantly surprised.
Even without the commentary I can find bits here and there in each vid that teaches something a little more about the nuance of the game.
Looking forward to more and hopefully with improved sound effects (prays to Blizzard).

wow your vod is awesome, I can't wait your replay :D

hey z00b. i just got lucky and beat u twice in a row :p
just wanted to say i appreciate you "gg"ing both times
you're a stand-up guy

The Protoss lost by building immrtals instead of colossis, some collossis and/or storms should win hydras.
Storming your own zealots doesnt count.
God plz give me a beta key
|
hydralisks look like they got beefier
hydralisk attack sound is very dissatisfying to me though
edit: finished watching the ZvT, wow the Nydus has got to be one hell of a rage inducing building. would not be surprised if its build timer is increased. what happens if the exit end gets killed before completion. do the units that went through the entry just pop back up there?
|
Zealots run like little girls. Hydra's attack sound is not quite right I agree.
I must say those games looked boring like hell to me. macro and win. probly just bad opponents..

Why lose an overlord when you know what the Protoss is doing already?
He wasn't 2 gating because there were no early Zealots. This means 90% he was going for fast cybercore. Zerg skipped roaches because why the hell not? He had complete map vision in the form of watchtowers + some ovies. Going straight into Hydralisk auto-counters doing Stargate builds.
The only option left here is cybercore -> robo or cybercore -> citadel -> templar tech.
For templar tech: this takes a long time to build up a caster force (they need to have energy when you move out) so sitting on your ass and macroing it up is the best option.
For robo: it's either slow and few Collossus (for a really late attack) or a couple of Immortals + a bunch of zealots (and POSSIBLY some Stalkers, but more likely Sentries).
The choice seems obvious at this point. It's almost certainly gonna be robo -> Immortal push. If you just wait for armies that take a long time to build up, then you are risking the Zerg macro getting out of control (and that's actually what seemed to happen here; toss got his push out slightly too late).
So at this point: you haven't seen Pheonixes (and you're going straight for hydras), and most people generally don't do something like DT's. Using the above logic, you tell yourself the following:
If he's going templars, I will have a massive army/upgrades. If he's going Collossus, there will only be one or two, and each one will fight an ever larger Hydra army. If he goes Immortal, I have a Hydra army and complete map vision - time enough to build sunkens etc.
So I ask again, why lose an overlord if you know can defend against anything the Toss can throw at you? These are the kinds of things that the game balance team should look at. Weak DT/Templar tech and weak Stargate tech (if the Zerg skips roaches) make it so that the Zerg pretty much doesn't need to scout after a certain point.
I really feel the game was 'lost' in the advantage sense when the Protoss' first push failed. He basically gave up map control and did not damage Zerg's economy at all. This is a very favorable position for Zerg. He's building an army that is strong against everything except Collossus. Doing some fancy tech switch isn't gonna help much (although the later-game Templar could have made a difference if the Toss was more aware of his rocks getting pounded).

Hi inReach, I just wanted to ask what you're using to record/convert with, and what resolution you're doing it all in. I'm having trouble getting my videos formatted the way I want them on Youtube and yours are very clean.

Is that the nadagast from ns and tf2?

-fraps (record)
-convert programm (there are so many good ones, use mp4 codec hd [10min video with 1920x1080 resolution ~280mb)
-avidemux to put the video pieces together / cut / edit

wasn't there a rep pack coming? x_X
|
Nice.
In game one though, the terran did a couple of strange things, when he first got his hellions he could have taken out 3-4 drones before retreating, since your roach wasnt even up yet, but he ran anyways.
Another: when he first sent his banshees, and it was his 4 banshees vs your 4 hydras and decided to run...
He should have FFed, as all 4 hitting 1 hydra will kill it...
Even after the next 2 came, with decent micro he would have gotten them all.
Nice vods tho! will watch the rest when im back from work
