I love you too, buddy! :D

I'd like to try to help you out a little bit in posting to Reddit, and perhaps other forms of social media. Sometimes, when you just post stuff like "Intimate ZvX with Stoic - Episode 18," while you're accurately saying what the title of the show is and what episode it is, there might be other information that might be better at catching the eye of potential viewers. When you just have the title and episode number, the average person scrolling through Reddit posts just scrolls right by it, because it's just another random dude's foray into helping noobs out. No offense to you guys, but this particular market is quite saturated. However, you guys are awesome, and you need to find ways to make yourselves stick out so that other people are also capable of realizing this.

What you might try instead is using the title of your posts to play to your strengths to attempt to garner more viewers. For example, when you submitted Episode 8, you had "ZvZ" at the end of it. This is a little better, but let's try to put some even better ideas into the viewer's head. For example, by saying "This week is ZvZ week!" it might make the reader think "oh this show happens fairly regularly," thus making them more likely to place a vested interest into it. You could try submitting just one of your four/five parts like I did - in this example, I said exactly what the selling point of that specific VOD was, and why the viewer would want to watch it. He might stumble across it and think, "oh hey, I'm having a hard time with that push" and click on it (I assume that's what happened, since I happened to quintuple your normal viewership of that one video).

If you REALLY want to see how this is done, go check out Day[9]'s Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/#!/day9tv He is the master of this. A few examples: "Having trouble winning in TvP? Today we look at the necessity of blasting the Protoss in the midgame w/ T!" or "When I awaken, I'll be analyzing DeMusliM's amazing mech win vs Nestea! :D"

The source of my advice: I do some translating, so I have a lot of practice at dicking around with words to find the best way to portray ideas.

if you have any replays where the other protoss opens with a gateway first build, and you explain your scouting / thought process that'd be really insightful in this FFE age.

also that sentry immortal vod was awesome, but if you happen to have any more replays of it, you mentioned how it's easier to hold off with a spine wall. would be nice to see as well for everyone like me with noob unit control >_<

You guys mention the IPL5 caster voting thingy in your previous episode (17?) and the mechanics video as well but I cant find the page where I can vote for you... do yo uthink you could link it so then i could give you guys my vote? Or is the voting even open? I google "IPL 5 caster vote" and other variations but i cant find the page.

Thanks!

Here's one then - cannon rushing, walling in, pylon blocking. What is the zerg's best 'reply' and how best to defend these?

at 16 supply send down 1 drone to patrol the area below your ramp, if you are going gasless expand send another drone down to try and get the hatch early, this way you can use both drones to fight the probe for the hatch as well.
