its like a whole sub game in itself, i wonder if someone has recorded the distances of each mineral patch on any given map in relation to the nexus. like when attempting to saturate a natural expansion early in the game, it would totally make sense (if you had the apm to) to have your few probes paired on the closer minerals, rather than just sending them blindly to find their own way. /end rant im going to practice this build right now, tyty | ||

For the mineral patches, I used to spam click to "get my apm up" as they say, but I found that my APM in battles was no different whether I did that spam in the beginning or not. Then I tried out my new version of the worker split, and found that by mining from the closest patches right away, I actually hit my 10th probe faster by an extra 5 or 10, so I stuck with it. @lappy512: I will look into that, thanks! @dunc: you are correct, the PST was not in the original post! That's my bad haha | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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 | ||

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! | ||

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

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! | ||

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! | ||

Though, one change I'de really like to see is a greater emphasis on the weaker sides of the build and not only its possibilities. E.g. how does a 14 gate cope with early rushes and aggression? Should the probe be sent straight after the pylon to scout or are you comfortable with waiting till the late gateway is in construction? | ||

@Karliath: Of course, here are a few replays of that build order vs all 3 races: Terran: http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/121841-1v1-terran-protoss-xelnaga-caverns Zerg: http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/121795-1v1-protoss-zerg-blistering-sands Protoss: http://www.sc2replayed.com/replays/121797-1v1-protoss-xelnaga-caverns | ||

The quality should be improved as well, but I am still not happy with Livestream and Procaster. I am looking to move to Justin.tv, but it will be a process as I need to migrate the Vods from Livestream over to JTV as well. Original post updated. | ||

Take a look and see if there's anything I should change in it or if the description should be different. SC2builds 14 gate build There's a replay of me doing it in YABOT linked from the build as well. Anything past the warp gate research and pylon is not part of the build. Be sure to chrono your nexus twice otherwise the food doesn't line up like it should. Sidereal I had an Intellivision too. Controller had a number pad and a disc on it for controls and you slid little plastic cards in front of the number pad for each game. Pretty sweet. | ||

I am currently writing show topics, and there are a lot, so when I get a clear broadcast schedule I will definitely post it kind of like a scheduled episodic so each episode will be planned out before hand! | ||

You probably have a lot of topics planned already but I wouldn't mind seeing how you transition out of a 4gate that doesn't kill the opponent. Also cute openings like the warp prism rush would be cool. | ||

Later I have taken an interest in learning Protoss and possibly switching depending on what I enjoy more, so I'll have to check these out! Cool man yeah, if you wanna switch to Protoss I think these are a good way to introduce yourself to the race since I often include thought processes from my PvX experiences too, almost a way to get inside a P player's head! | ||
