Though this doesn't help alot of people (probably anyone who regularly visits TL) but it does help the newbies who just found TL and helps the lurkers who come here occasionally but are still a copper/bronze player. All in all i think the more verbal part of the community will dislike the show, but if you are the player who comes on to the forums every now and then to read about sc2 but doesn't go much further it could be helpful to you. A suggestion I would give to keep the show as in depth as possible, stick to protoss replays, i mean you arn't day9, you don't seem to have the in-depth understanding of terran and zerg to give strong suggestions. In an episode i watched you reviewing a zerg replay you constantly started a comment with "i don't play zerg, so this may be wrong". That hurts credibility, stick to what you know. I realize this will alienate a lot of the audience (zerg and terrans) but I think doing that and preserving the quality is an easy decision. | ||

I watched one of the show which was a review of a zerg replay and it was a bit painful to hear you say (like 10 times) that building zerglings is much better than roaches against stalkers in a situation where the stalkers is doing some hit & run tactics on an undefended base. The real advice is to regroup your new production into one blob and then push the attacking force. This can be done both by roaches and zerglings. Zerglings "beat" stalkers if you have a good number of them, otherwise they do shit, unlike roaches which can still do some focus fire damage even with just a bunch of them and which can be microed back if focused... | ||

I was just speaking from experience as a protoss player. If I have stalkers vs roaches (esp if I have blink) the roaches are going to be toast, whereas if you have mass speedlings and I have stalkers I'll lose even with blink. | ||

ZvT on Desert Oasis I feel like I did everything well up until about 21 mins into the game. It's 29 mins long, but I feel like you can skim through some of it. I just want to know how to handle an on coming tier 1-3 smaller attack towards the later stages of the game. In the replay you can tell I start to panic once he starts moving his army which basically screwed me lol. I feel like explaining how to handle something like that will not only help me but newer players in the beta. Thanks Orb. I'm playing Zerg by the way. | ||
