Well, 2. 1) When placing your macro hatch in ZvT for a build like infestor ling, do you like it as part of a walloff at the front, or in your main? There are definite advantages to having it wall off, but I find that some times that wall is a liability later in the game with siege pushes/drops, ultras getting trapped (><) etc. Do you think the wallin is worth it? I see a lot of pros using it, but that doesn't make it gospel. 2) In ZvP on maps like ST or other maps that don't have an easily accessible third, how do you change your opening? Do you still go for 3hatch>gas anyway and leave the third in a far off position, or do something different? I always try going gas/pool into 2 base muta, but I get shut down a lot by people guessing I was doing that and going 2 star Phoenix or something. | ||

@ Episodes being out of order: What about naming them with an episode number/game number first: E12G1 - ZvZ - David vs NITRIXENERGY, EP12G2 - ZvT - ... and so on. | ||

If you can find anyone willing to 4-gate you, I'd love to see it. I've literally never beaten a 4-gate, and I've finally managed to claw my way back up the ladder to where people are doing them, which has dropped my win-rate vs Protoss to almost zero. I don't know what it is: I've watched endless VoDs and read endless guides on holding 4-gates and nothing helps. I'm just hoping something will click when I watch you do it, the way other things have clicked. Cheers! | ||

Stephano replaypack from the 6th of March btw. If you run out of cool replays you could always do some of his? Again great work, and waiting in pain for the next edition  | ||

Thanks for the answers, guys, I just got around to catching up on the videos. I definitely am attacking late, but the build was a fast 2-base infestor, adding in spines because he scouted my roach count. He had two infestors/two fungals and managed to catch my blings. I will work on the timing. As for the roach-heavy comment, I meant that for this timing attack/all-in, I tend to funnel all my gas into roaches instead of dumping into blings. This might be because I tend to have very few lings left by that point. So uh... don't worry? I'm not maxing on roach, I just meant that I have fewer banelings. This probably indicates the same timing issue that you guys mentioned regarding the opponent already have infestors, though. Oh and my name means six fusion pulse cannons, it's from an esoteric space-based game called Escape Velocity: Nova. Thanks again, and keep up the good work! p.s. David, where do you go to med school? (PM me if it's a privacy issue.) | ||

I would also like to know about #1, or I guess macro hatch placement in all matchups, not just ZvT. | ||
