Blade is a very good player. I'm glad to see that he has come back from his break strong, and highly recommend people pay attention to his videos

How would you change up this z v t build if you saw banshees either 1 or 2 starports with or without cloak? It seems like the third might be vulnerable to cloak banshees?

Great job, keep it up! Maybe you could talk about "what ifs" a little bit, for example if he went banshees or helion/marauder how you would adapt your build. I'm really looking forward to the next one
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

Thanks guys. I know it's a little monotone, but I am not a caster nor do I ever intend to be. Just uploading it to help players out, so if it's boring I do apologize but I doubt that'll ever be fixed xD.



I personally think your casting on the game is fine. Not a lot of enthusiasm but it for sure isn't boring, and you know what you are talking about. Keep up with these I'd love to see more!

Mr Blade. I usually get smoked by mass hellions. I have no clue how to react or how to scout it in time. Any help?

The third should be done before cloak and banshees come. This is assuming he is doing a reactor hellion expand then cloak and not 1 base cloak banshee. If it is 1 base you should not be taking a third super fast.

As you see I get roaches, I make more if I see more then 4 hellions. Roaches are the great counter

Hello everyone! For those that enjoyed my first video and hunger for another, I have just finished and uploaded my next one! This is zerg vs protoss standard opening vs forge FE. I give my thoughts and all that fun stuff that hopefully helps you guys out that struggle in zvp! I will do zvz next, but the poll is going to see what you would like after that.

Here it is! The next video should be actual full screen as after I uploaded this a friend of mine told me how to fix it !

thank's guys! Don't forget to vote in the poll because after my zvz one next week I will be doing it by poll votes! So far zvt is winning ^^.

Also again, the video's will be stretched to what they should be! A friend told me how to do it and now I know how to fix the smallish screen! So apologies for that!

I literally watch blade in my underwear because his game-play is so good. Why do I do this? Well i usually wear jeans and when I get a boner from his spectacular mirco it just gets uncomfortable.
yep

Yup. I'll get Blade's vids fixed in a week or so, or at least any ones going forward. :D

Great guide, as usual.

Nice vid, the commentary felt more natural than in the first one.

What would you have done if you hadn't held off his first push so easily? Like you losing most of your army but saving your third, him retreating with his core army before your reinforcements hatch. Do you still try to put on heavy pressure to desperately try to keep him on 2 base and keep his army size down or do you go to plan B?

I find that happening sometimes in my games. If I hold the gw attack easily then countering with a bunch of roach/ling usually works just fine to either kill him or put me well ahead while delaying his third, which is why they call it an all-in I guess. However, if I take heavy losses without wiping out most of his army I'm scared of committing to an all out roach/ling counter since toss can be so incredibly cost efficient while defending unless I have a much bigger army.

Should I try to trade no matter what or should I do something else instead? Is there some rule of thumb I could use for deciding what to after he backs off depending on how the battle went? I know this depends on a lot of things so I guess I'll put that type of video my wishlist for another week if there's no easy answer

Thanks!
