I am having trouble with PvZ when Z goes mutas, especially on Desert Oasis. Here is a recent game where I go against mutas and he is able to just out produce me and eventually wins with just mutas and lings off 2 base. I tried to do a timing push with my immortals and zealots but it was too late. I should have probably got blink for my stalkers, but I'm not sure how much that would have helped, he just had too many.

Anyway just looking for help against mutas and on Desert oasis.

Not exactly sure at the moment.

For now I think I'll just be doing it every day and post/edit the OP with notifications when I won't be doing one that day. Maybe in the near future I'll figure out a more exact schedule of when I'll be hosting it and when I won't, but for now it'll just be on a day by day basis so just check the thread OP for updates

Orb,

Do you PM people if you select their replay for an analysis?

Thanks for using my replay! I learned a lot! Positioning, and more importantly, Macro!

I will definitely be sending some more replays your way, and tuning in every day!

Orb,

Just wanted to say that you are really doing an awesome job with this and it's improving with the day! First few replays were basicly only about "scout more scout more scout more" but only heard you say it ONCE today, so props!

All this replay feedback is incredibly educational for new players like myself, so would really like to thank you for this.

What I'd like to know though is when you regularly actually stream your own games? Also would be nice to have you review one of your own replays where you totally screwed up or something!

Cheers,

// poNji

P.S. Why does the chat have to be muted when it's not live?

Hey, Orb. I have a quick suggestion. Add the names of those who sent in the replays you stream to your OP and maybe put up links to the replays themselves through mediafire. That would be awesome. I have a doozy of a replay for you to check out (PvZ):

Excuse the BM. I was playing with a friend and kind of raged at...well, you'll see. It turns out I still could have won if I'd gone straight for his tech buildings after our big fight that I won handily, despite losing a bunch of probes and a Nexus early on.

So here is my replay of a PvZ and my opponent all-in zergling rush
and I was not sure how to defend against this

replay: http://www.mediafire.com/?m2djldiznky

my opponent is terrible, with over 1k minerals, but still won because, well, all in zergling

my crisis management wasn't all that great and I kind of panicked at the zerglings, and did things wrong, but not sure exactly what I should have done. Added more gateways?

I kind of hope you show this quick game (only 6 minutes) and show some tips on how to hold this off?

+ Show Spoiler +

I could almost imagine you going "You think your good at this game because you can allin in zergling rush. You are terrible at this game" xD

Here is one of my games, with an annoying result without a clue about how to stop it, or what did I done wrong. Its about a reapers harass vs early stalkers, and would be good if you have thought outs about this game http://www.mediafire.com/?2tzjrnymhjy

Hi Orb.

My nickname is Ladde and I'm from Sweden.
I am a fairly new player to Sc2. I never played Sc1 much, just UMS and some BGH maps.
I played some Wc3 and was quite descent on it.

Now I'm playing Sc2 as much as I can. I play Protoss, on the EU servers, and I goes quite well. I am in silver league and my opponent is in gold I believe.
I've been looking on your stream and tried to copying as much as I can, and then evolve around it.

I have problems with PvT. Especially on this map, and I think alot of players have that to.
The map is Kulas Ravine and as Terrans have a really easy to defend on this map. Small choke at the entrance and then a natural on higherground with siege tanks.

The game ends as I get banshee attacked, and while I try to attack his position. The tanks are just to good placed. I try to destroy the stones to his natural, but still tanks on highground is hard to get to. He also puts up alot of turrets as it keeps me from scouting.
I could have got some more cannons but his numer of Banshees really tears them apart.

I am just clueless what to do. I can't do a frontal assult since I get killed from the tanks.
An I can'r really do an air attack either. And out macro him seems hard since I am pretty weak in late-game againts Terrans.

Would like to hear what to do in this position. As I think alot of people have the same issue.

Cheers. Keep up the good work.

Hey orb,

I'm a top10 gold player and can sometimes struggle a lot against muta/ling ESPECIALLY on desert oasis.

http://www.mediafire.com/?xz2ewwazjd5

I scout his spire going up and start to cannon my mineral line and build a stalker/sentry army, I manage to push for an attack but his lings sheer overwhelm me due to bad force fields and a bad decision to not push into his base and lock his lings out. Not to mention lack of focus fire. My attack fails but I manage to rebuild and make some stupid decisions and mess up some blink micro while trying to attack his base again.

I just feel so contained, I've watched your other ones when you mentioned to push out once you believe your mineral line is protected enough and I think I may have gotten the timing right but just failed upon force field micro to block the speedlings etc. Be great if you could check it out and get a second opinion.

Cheers
(I also food block myself a bit - something to improve on)
