Dear Orb,
I really enjoy watching Your stream and learning how NOT TO play against Protoss (Zerg here).
I have an idea: why not to collect replays containing BAD players (Protoss of course) and show what he should do,what he shouldn't? I play ladder (doing placement matches again) and I played only two,but I played versus really BAD Protoss (not scouting with observer etc)

TL;DR
Maybe cast some really bad Protoss to show how* not to play?

Uh... have you actually watched his show yet? This is exactly what he does do

Unless I'm misreading your request.

Thanks Orb, this combined with Day9 has really helped me scrutinize my replays better. =)

I have a question about this show. If I posted a replay on page 14 and you're reviewing a replay that's on page 14+. Does that mean my replay didn't make it?
I'm not saying I think you should absolutely do it. You proboly have some reason for not doing it. Just making sure.

This is my old post.

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.

My method for selecting replays is unfortunately a bit unfair. I generally take the time to download all replays in the thread and then I look through a couple. Usually the ones I pick are in the first couple I look at, so I end up not even looking at the others. Unfortunately this means many peoples' replays simply do not yet get looked at.

It's possible your replay was not what I wanted for some reason (too long, too short, etc), but more likely is that I simply have not checked it yet.

I respect Orb as a player but I couldn't watch more than a few minutes of this show due to boredom.
Sorry Orb just being honest.

The comments are interesting, but it's very hard to watch the stream more than 10 minutes, just because you're adding "f*uck*ng" in front of every single word, and it gets really boring.

I hate this show...purely because he has stopped playing live games since it started. He use to stream more than anyone...now he's never on.

No actually I stopped streaming AS MUCH (I still stream games almost every single day... just not like 10 hours a day like I used to) because I'm failing school

Thanks orb for another good show. I like your analysis on some accounts, obviously not everyone will agree on everything but you are definitely doing the community good. I love that you answer like 80-90% of (non troll) questions asked, really helps us out instead of having to gamble and be one out of 25 people who ask a question on Day's show.

Hey Orb, been watching your stream a lot. I have a replay I'd like you to look at, it's a few days old and I've looked it over for mistakes so I can pinpoint some myself but it's best to have another, professional, opinion. It's Z (me) v P on Kulas Ravine, 19ish minutes. He went double gateway push, I defended then I just slowly got worked down (I think). I'm primarily a Z player but I play random quite often as well (P is my worst). I'm top 10 Silver in 1v1 and 2v2 random, hoping to get to platinum by the time Sc2 launches.

Here is the replay:

I really enjoy your stream and show, but do what you have to do. School should definitely come first.

A little bit of feedback for your replays:

It would be good if you could do some higher level ones, and note whether the game is lowplat, midplat or highplat (or higher)
Atm i can see most of the replays it is just basic BO mistakes that are losing people the game

That's when he's just playing, but not orb Knows Best. People seem to have problems seeing the difference between orb Knows Best and orb just streaming his game..

Lo orb, love the show btw

watched them all so far.

REPLAY: http://www.mediafire.com/?m3oyoo1tkym

I'm a copper player, my profile reset and this is against a much higher player so its very one sided.

Protoss V Terran. 14 mins.

Here's what i most likely need help with from looking at this.

-Macro, mostly my build order i think.. It seems really slow.
-Micro, i had less units in the main battle but im sure my micro was horrible.
-Tactic switches. As u can see in the replay, i see the opponents units quite quickly.. but i didn't really switch to a new unit, i chose collosus but its a bad choice i guess.
