Just watched it and I really enjoyed it. Will definitely give this build a try out. Hope you continue with this show. It could be a good alternative to a long 50 minute show like day9, just a short little check this out type of thing.

Awsome show. Really liked the build.

If you could also mix in some tutorials on mechanics of the game, would be great. For example, how to efficiently attack and macro at the same time. It's kind of basic, but a platinum level player like myself could always use some new perspectives to improve.

Hope to see more from this, keep at it bro.

Edit:

I think that this sort of thing can really bring more to the sc2, and general e-sports community.
SO much these days it seems that if you want to watch anything sc2 related, you're going to be sat there for an hour, I personally really appreciate something i can pop on, and Scratch that little sc2 itch that develops if i don't watch a vid or hear a different perspective on the game.

Good second show. Interesting build! However (at least in the vod version), the video quality of the game was pretty bad, I could barely make anything out. Not sure if it's the stream or your capturing device. Just some feedback on that. Other than that was awsome, look forward to future episodes.

Liked both episodes.

Suggestion for future show: Show a cool way to play PvP.

I'd suggest for an episode it wouldn't be bad to actually take some pride in the 4gate.

I see a lot of misinformed gold-diamond players saying "4gate is trash once u know how to defend it its easy", So perhaps to set the record straight you could spend 10 minutes just talking about the importance of the refinement of build orders as protoss, and the method you use to straighten out little kinks.

Might help the general population a lot, and i'd get to see more well executed 4gates instead of these 40 second late abominations :D

Great work with both shows so far! You seemed a bit nervous in the first show, but you got a lot better in the second. I really appreciate the effort that you put into explaining the motivations behind the builds that you're showing us and the ways in which they can be altered in different scenarios. Keep it up, and consider getting the show added to the calendar if it isn't there already!

Good job on both episodes! I, too, would appreciate an increase in VOD quality, since your resources and food count isn't exactly visible on the archive. But your narration is great!

Thanks so much for the responses, it really helps!

I am disappointed as well with the visual quality of the show thus far and am actively seeking remedies for that, so bear with me; I watch it afterwards to see how it went and just sit there and sigh haha!

I will see about having it added to the calendar, as of now it is happening sporadically because of my personal schedule but that too can be worked out.

I have come to really enjoy PvP, but I have a background of nothing but BM and hate for the matchup

As I play more and more PvP I find that it really is a battle of micro and macro, and of making good decisions. Although it is excruciating to play, there's no denying that in PvP, we Protoss players have the privilege of playing such a deeply bitter yet unique matchup no other race can share in. It is our burden as Protoss players but we bear it with pride haha!

I think the next episode will deal with the "vicious elegance" of the 4-gate, and how it is, quite bluntly, a brute force build that aims to overwhelm the opponent and yet requires a great deal of finesse and streamlining to properly execute. Sounds very Protossy!

Watched the first episode, great that you're doing this. I would recommend somewhat better quality stream though, it's sometimes hard to discern your resource count, which you refer to often.

I think you definitely have enough to tell to fill more than 10 minutes, good luck!

Heya, I just watched both episodes (I live en Europe so I don't get to watch too much life crazyness ^^) and I really liked the format. It's short. It's exact. It's to the point. Im around 2000 diamond toss and im still rly stuck with one build for each MU and I'm looking for viable different builds to expand my repetoire, which this, without a doubt, has done.
I can only say that its g r e a t with the vast focus on technical detail, since it is rly where the good play is created - and a good opening is in most cases needed for good play later on.

I am disappointed as well with the visual quality of the show thus far and am actively seeking remedies for that, so bear with me; I watch it afterwards to see how it went and just sit there and sigh haha!

No sweat

Go look at Day[9] daily no. 1, it's basically the same quality!
Can just say that it's great you're doing this - especially gotta love the toss focus,eh! I'll be watching the vod's regularly!

Hey, would you consider uploading some replays of the build you showed in the first two episodes? Thanks.

Hey Sidereal,

Just watched the first episode and although I am not a Protoss player I thought it was pretty cool! You did a good job explaining the build pretty quickly and explaining all the different options it presents. I kinda like the 10 minute thing and I'm sure you prefer to do shorter episodes, but if sometime in the future you decide to extend your episodes maybe to 20 minutes or so I think they would still be awesome. You went through quite a bit but there was much more you could've said/shown us as well. For example, the specific deviations of the build and possible transitions throughout the game. I'm not necessarily saying they need to be longer, but if you want to extend them there is plenty more to say to fill the time

.

Good luck with your future episodes and thanks for helping out all the poor newbie Protoss players of the SC2 community!

I went in with the cynical "nothing will give me satisfaction if it isn't day9 or incontrol!"-attitude and I still really liked this alot.
Keep it going!
