Yay, my replay got reviewed thanks for doing that. I learned a lot and really enjoyed both of the games that you covered. I was shaky on the timing for gas and I knew that I shouldn't wall off against Terran but I didn't know if I should still build near my ramp or not.

Anyways, great show and I hope you continue to do this.

EDIT: I have one suggestion, when you have time could you start putting together links to the VODs for the show. I had a little trouble finding it, having to search through all of that days VOD's.
THIS NEEDS FACE!

REPLAY: http://www.mediafire.com/?mjzwt2zzfog


Me (P) 1100 plat vs 1300-1400 plat Z

Basically having a hard time stopping the zergs 3rd. Once that up I gradually lose more and more map control until I'm contained. I went phoenixes this time because the last time this happened my sentry/stalker combo wasnt good enough to hold.

Tips appreciated

Only bronze atm, playing daily to get better. Usually play Terran, but watching your streams really wanted to make me play Protoss. I would like help on what I need to do better and improve on, and how to micro manage fights better. I would have lost if not for my teammate. Also I would like to know how I could have handled the two battles. The game ends around 33 minutes, after that it's just me and my teammate talking over vent. (And me learning that I can hold shift to create more shields) >_<
Still trying to learn all the hotkeys.
You are doing a great job though. I really enjoy watching your streams. Keep going

REPLAY: http://www.mediafire.com/?wjly2oltzly

TvP - Where did i go wrong? Did i choose a bad timing to attack? Should i recognize that without scouting / sending scout the correct places? Im having a hard time recognizing things for what they are, i was sure this guys was cheesing me so i messed my build up just to be safe, and forgot my orbital command for a while.
Im in silver, though nearly only playing vs gold
really?

ZvP. Pretty sure I know why I lost this game; however, I feel it is a good replay to critique due the outcome. I was ahead in every department but made a couple bad decisions under pressure late in the game. Would be great to hear some advice from a high caliber player. Like how you would have handled the last 5-7 minutes of the game.

Pretty good stuff. Just hmm do some original shit with your personality. "I'm going to get me some teaaaa" That's day9 bro. You want to distinguish yourself from other people when doing similar shows like this or people would just say: "Hey, why watch orb when I can just watch day9".

Conclusion: I don't want to see day9 when I watch your show. I want to see just Orb mentally. Overall some good points, some things I didn't agree to such as getting too many stalkers. He went muta's, sentry's eat muta's, stalker's are alright; but sentry's not only hard counter muta's they like you said in your show they reinforce your ground army pretty damn good.

PS: You do know force field isn't instant for the sentry right? (2nd replay review)

Could always use more insight, I believe I generally know what I did wrong here but as evidenced by me still being stuck in a rut on silver more advise can only help.

This is a PvZ matchup, which is usually one of my stronger matchups.

My first mistake came around the 8:-- mark where I misplaced a Forcefield and ended up eating banelings. I Saw the attack coming, I simply mis clicked.

Now as you can see I did scout early, and of course saw the roach warren going up. In silver this is about a 200% chance that you are going to get nothing but roaches from that point on, so I understandably teched to immortals.

My next mistake comes around 10:30, I have an obs in his base. However I fail to position it correctly or even move it around all that much. Because he has already hit me with baneling/lings/roach, I am convinced he is committed to this. However as one can see from the spire going up that I clearly don't see, this is obviously not the case and my build is about to be rendered moot and I don't even realize it. So problem number 2 is I failed to continue scouting properly.

Come along to 22 minutes into the game, I decide to make a push. The guy clearly has me frustrated at this point as you can see some utterly pointless FF placement. Then I run into my first major surprise..Broodlords. Naturally my ground army gets utterly raped. I make another stab at it, fail to accomplish anything meaningful, then try to tech switch too little too late. The real problem here is zerg had an OL crapping creep on my one viable expo and my main was tapped out. So this put me in a real problem.

Obviously the failure to scout BL tech was a problem. However previous to him getting there I thought my army comp was pretty strong, and was surprised at just how fast he teched to those. That and I really don't know a reasonable way to counter BL as toss.

Decently long match (Rare on silver where most people just try for cheese 4 min all ins), and one of the few Zerg I have encountered who played not only well enough to beat me, but utterly keep me contained and smash me.

REPLAY: http://www.sc2rc.com/index.php/replay/show/1364

Just for reference, not looking for a recap on this, though feel free too. Here is a fairly standard zerg roach attempt.
REPLAY: http://www.sc2rc.com/index.php/replay/show/1366

I actually feel like I defend against this fairly decently, and have refined my def against it a little more. I did neglect to scout as much as i should have. Had he tech switched, I may have been in trouble. I simply did not feel the need as it was pretty obvious he was committed to his roach/hydra/nydus strat.

Edit: some formatting cleanup.

I love this stuff, but anyway we can get previous eps on youtube instead of livestream? Livestream is horrendous for recorded stuff (its terrible for live stuff too... but we have a better option for recorded stuff)
Replay or GTFO

Orb, I got a chance to watch the first episode last night. I actually managed to watch both OKB and USAvCanada at the same time. I have some suggestions for you from a technical standpoint.

A. Figure out a way to boost your Master Audio being sent to LiveStream. In comparison to other streams, you were VERY quiet. Not just you, the entire stream. Some may try to convince you that it's better to be lower because then it can be turned up on the users side. It SHOULD actually be the opposite. As long as you aren't coming over hot or distorted the user can still make their own adjustments as needed. This is a very small change that can go a long way - and I realize it's show #1 but if you get some of these things out of the way early, you'll be in better shape.

B. I like your show concept, I would add a suggestion. It might be interesting to actually have the person of the REP you're covering be on skype with you. That way as you're explaining it the person can ask questions. If I was watching one of my replays with you, I would probably be able to think of 1000 questions to ask you. What you're doing is great, but it's also pretty one dimensional. You are doing this show because of your skill and knowledge... that means you also approach the game a bit differently. You must consider that a player who is not at your level would probably ask questions that you would never even think of... mostly due to LACK of knowledge by the player. I believe if you had this type of interaction, you would not only find it easier to generate content but you'd also be doing the community an educational service. At least think about it.

C. If you ever need any help, let me know. ^_^

D. Where to get a Mt. Everest Bottle? :D
