I just watched the tvz mechanics video, i can see that its aimed at lower level players, but it's still a lot of information you throw at them. As hard as it is i think you still need to play a lot slower (~50 apm max) for the level you're aiming at. Your explanations seemed to become rushed as the game progressed because you had to do more and more stuff. You probably need to pause and/or demonstrate what you are trying to explain a bit more - particularly when the medivacs come out, stuff gets kinda crazy.

You also kind of moved away from the simple things - scvs/supply. It would be awesome if there was a little counter or something that pinged when ever an scv starts just to demonstrate how often they should be made.

hmm... that's good advice. I think if I get the time I will do many videos and slow everything down so it's easier to understand.

I coulda swore the best way to continue making supply depots was not rally your scvs back to minerals and simply continue building more depots as soon as they go idle. ofc, 1 at a time then 2 later as your production increases, with only breaks around supply drops and supply provided by new CCs.

DarKcS maybe that's why I still miss depots at high masters! hahhaahha

You're doing a really good thing for the community. This will help a lot of low level players who really don't know where to start with this game. GJ

Hi Max,

I would like to thank you for the TvP and TvZ videos, helps me a lot. However, I have some questions.

-TvZ: Do you do this 2 medivac, marines with +1 stim,combat shields, push everygame on everymap? Or else, on what map you do it and why? Do you go with this push based on scouting what their army composition will be like? How does it fare against Roach-Ling (with banelings or w/o banelings) compositions?

My standard build is React-Hellion FE into 3 tank push with marines, stim and combat shield around 10 minutes, and push only when the zerg has a third. But I always get crushed by mass upgraded lings or the composition i mentionned above =/ I like the build you showed in the tutorial and I would like to make it my standard build because it seems it is a well rounded one.

Thanks a lot

Anyone want to fill me in on why you should click A to attack instead of right clicking?

I think it is because if you miss your right click and click on the ground, your units units will instead move instead of attacking, and that can be very bad :/ If you A-Click and missed anyways, your units will still be attacking but probably not what you wanted to target.

Good form Max, this is super helpful.

I started SC2 by 3 raxing everybody and it got me into plat, but after seeing the daily you were in, I've been trying to copy your build. Piecing the build together at x8 has been difficult, so your vids are going to help a lot. Thanks for making them! Time to go take some ladder points...

It depends on what units you have, but in general it is better to attack move rather than target fire when engaging a large army. This way, your units will stop and start attacking the moment they are in range of any enemy units instead of trying to crowd around one target in particular, wasting valuable firing time.
