Greetings Artosis!

I wonder what your opinion on Queens is. Do you get one for every hatch or do you have a fixed number? It may depend on what the enemy throws at you (countering early banshee/voidray/muta) but I'm asking myself if the 4th 150mins and 2 supply are a good investment midgame...

Thank you so much for answering my previous questions :D

I have few more if you don't mind.
1. Will you be doing any instructional commentaries, like you used to do in sc1, hopefully something before the phase2 <3 .

2. You have extensive knowledge of how sc1 pro-gamers train. So with your experience and knowledge what are the some of the things you think the Koreans are doing right, and some of the things they are doing wrong. For example after seeing Idra perform so well in the OSL qualifier, and Gregs comment about excessive training schedule and its negative effects,

3. I was wondering what is then perhaps the best way to train and improve to get good results.How do you personally train/improve? What are things you like to do. Forexample I know some people like divide their time between different things. They will ladder for an hour, play few custom games, watch their own replays, watch replays of pro-gamers, watch some stream. (Rinse and repeat these day-in and day-out)

4. Do you watch your own replays? If so:
A. Do you do it directly after the game (so you can take notes), Or is their certain part of the day, Or you just watch them randomly?

B. Do you analyze both winning and defeated games? Or just the ones where you lost?

5. What are your thoughts on the current ladder map pool? and Which of them do you think are Zerg favored, neutral, and truly not winnable as zerg.

6. Have you played on SC1 conversion maps on SC2 yet? Do you think SC1 style of maps will work well on SC2, (ie, Destination, fighting spirit, extra)?

I noticed ALOT of the times you only have ~16 drones on minerals. Do you feel this is most efficient?

Explain as much as possible please!!

Thanks for the replays artosis. I watched all the vods interviews you did, and they are really great !

But is it possible to do the interviews in quieter environments. Because most of the times you are in some café or restaurant with background music, people entering and exiting, talking, so heavy background noise that can really be annoying and take away some of the enjoyment of listening to your interviews !

Hey Artosis,

I'll be honest, I really dont have the time to read through all these posts. But, I was wondering if you had a set of games (say maybe 5) you would like to see cast from this series.

Hopefully 1-2 where you lose so we can talk about the mistakes etc etc. I'd love to cast some of these games!

Yeah man, I think I watched the game you were talking about last night. Would be cool to see a cast.

Mass marine with tank support style seems very big in Korea. That an accurate statement? Baneling/overlord drop seems to be the "counter," but I haven't found alot of games where roach/ling/bling results in a win for Z. I feel like muta/ling/bling isn't a viable option unless they are mixing in a significant number of marauders too, but roaches just melt so fast to tanks before the blings can clean up the marines.

Any general thoughts versus the korean biomech style?

Artosis, very interesting replays, I have just finished watching them all.

I am curious, you keep talking about Terran mech but now when watching these replays I can't see that you are having any problems with the mech at all. The burrow roaches + doom bling drops in the tank lines really impressed me, and the ultras and infestor play worked out well aswell. I find it very interesting to watch a Zerg trying and being able to break down the pretty tough mech line, so from a spectator point of view I would not want to nerf mech more.

Do you really think the tank needs even less than 50 damage? The problem with nerfing mech more is the risk of Terrans going more bio against Zerg, and because the Marauder is such a boring unit, this could be bad from a spectator point of view.

Instead, look at the Protoss a1ffff Collossi/Sentry/Stalker ball. When they face a maxed Zerg the P does not require any skill whatsoever (when the clash do occur) to completely destroy the Zerg. From a spectator point of view, this clash is really uninteresting, since if the Protoss does not do major major mistakes in pressing a1ffff while the Zerg have to have perfect control, the P will wipe out every Z force on the field. Don't you believe this to be a problem esports-vice? (since in SC1 the maxed P had to have similar skill to the Zerg, when the clash occured, to be able to defeat him)

Hey people, seeing that Artosis released this replay pack and that so many were having trouble viewing them (being patch 15), I decided to start my illustrious commentating career with a few of them selected at random.

If you have any tips for me, reply in the youtube comments or this thread. I am experimenting with different commentating styles at the moment. All videos are available in 720p HD (not 1080p though).
