First off, thanks for doing this, we all really appreciate it.

I rarely tune in live and usually just watch the VODs so I don't really get the opportunity to ask any questions. Lately something's been driving me insane about 4gate and I was hoping you may have an answer for me:

Now that phoenixes are more popular, we're seeing alot more 1base phoenix builds. It's typically 1 or 2 gates followed by a stargate and 4 phoenixes. The protoss doesn't need to take his gas early, he'll often save energy to chrono warpgate + phoenixes and he makes a zealot followed by a stalker. On top of all that, the phoenixes come out at around the 6:30-7:00 minute mark. I think you see what I'm getting at... I'm unable to differenciate both builds and a smart player will place the buildings in a way that your overlord won't see it before it dies. Just when I thought 4gates weren't an issue for me anymore, I find myself in a situation where I can't figure out if I should drone or make units.

Is this something you've discussed with your coaches? If not, could you please ask at some point? I'm tilting hard lately

thanks


This one's easy.

Sure, you're blind for a little bit, but you should be expecting something fishy. It's ok to say to yourself "oh shit, I'm get 4-gated", and to make your normal reaction... The thing about 4 gate, though, is that if that attack doesn't come relatively quickly, you'll know he's up to something else.

So if it looks like 4 gate, but he never attacks, and he never expands, he's obviously teching. It might sound a little strange at first, but as you play against this stuff more and more, you'll develop a feel for it...

In either case, even if you're blind until you see the phoenixes, you should still be ok. There's no reason to not get 3 queens these days, and once the phoenixes are shown, you can continue with queen production while adding a spore or two to each mineral line, droning heavily, and hitting your normal mid-game.

Just don't freak out and make a bunch of hydras. Toss is trying to dictate your mid-game tech so that he can hard-counter it with colossi. Stick to your roach/corruptor foundation, and you should be able to come out ahead.

I've started doing this and it's definitely easier to deal with whatever toss opens up with, thanks. There's still a few things that are giving me trouble, like when they get voids with a 3gate push instead of phoenixes, but I don't think it's that complicated to figure out.

I know it's not part of the metagame anymore, but will you be touching on the subject of forge first into offensive cannon? Most protosses I face don't do it right so it's easily dealt with but when it's done right I feel like it's unstoppable.

I just wanted mention how much I am enjoying your channel, thanks Flabulous! The guests I was most impressed with so far have been Catz and Sheth:

Catz! That guy was awesome, I really liked his approached the game, he didn't let any preconceived notions hold him down.

Sheth was also awesome! I didn't know what to expect but I was very impressed after watching. He was doing things that even Mr Bitter thought were impossible. I was just VERY impressed by this guy (I know I said that twice, that's how impressed I was ).

I havent watched StrifeCo yet, I just watched the session with Keyboard, that was hilarious. I also like whenever iNcontroL is on. Anyway keep up the great work!

ZvP has gotten much much better for me since last week's 4gate lessons, and now I can't wait to watch yesterday's stuff with strifercrow. I caught the end and the level of analysis and logic explanation that he was doing is incredible, this is my weakest matchup right now. Love the contributions bitter, please keep it up!

None of the ZvZ lessons have touched the topic of avoiding the ling/baneling microfest and the viability of using a such builds as 1base roach, which allows the game to progress safely to a more standard ZvZ with roaches. Also, it would be great to have CatZ on more often.

So Geoff and I got our wires crossed for tonight. I fail at scheduling sometimes. Completely my bad.

Apologies to you folks, but don't fret! We'll be back tomorrow night with Sheth, and Thursday with Machine!

Looking forward to the ZvZ episodes as it is my worst matchup.

Hopefully you can show how to hold off a FE to Zerg's one base crap. Thanks MrBitter!

I just wanna thank you guys for this stream. This has definitely improved me as a gamer. I don't think there has been a single person on who hasn't taught me something huge. I think this stream is just as important to zerg players as Day[9] is to SC2 players is generally, if not more.

way more IMO and I like day[9] a lot, but this stream is much more specific and at a much higher level in general.
