Hello, I decided to share my knowledge and wisdom of Terran strategy, this well be a video series of replays I play and other pros. I will give my analysis of what I am thinking from a Terran's POV. I would consider my strategy and decision making as one of the best around. This is similiar to the concept behind Day9 Dailies, except exclusively for Terran players and more to-the-point explanation of strategy.
I played chess throughout my youth, and achieved a 2200+ ELO at the age of 15 (Near Grandmaster Status) I then started playing Poker online with great success to make money. I now play SC2 at a High Master/Low GM level.
I don't have a problem with you advertising your show at all, but the fact you claim yourself to be "pro" is a miss statement, no matter how good you are or think you are.

I kind of meant it as a general term for the terran games I will look at. Not all the replays i will look at will involve me, I would say 30% games of me playing and 70% of korean/euro pros.
I just watched game vs SlayerSRyung and first of all , you are not a pro Analysis Secound thing.. its looks like you watched this re many times before and you just KNOW What he is doing. Its not Analysis , its Analysis cheating for me This kind of Analysis gives no feedback to player... because when you play game , you dont know for sure what opponent wil do , you dont show this as oportunity.. " maby he drop there.." you tell " he gonna drop there for sure etc" this dont work in "real" game.
Pro = making money form someting Pro players are full time pro and make money form gamming , its not the same as semi pro , who make money time to time. Same is for Analysis like Artosis , Apollo , Day9 they are pro , because they are making money from that

I haven't watched it in a month so I had more of a 'fresh perspective', I made some standard predictions, i don't think I was being suspiciously psychic at all...
I don't see why you would blatantly lie about 2200 elo being 'close to grandmaster' when in reality it isn't even close, like, its the difference from diamond to Grandmaster in sc2

Inconsequential errors do not need to be corrected, even if your comparison was accurate.
Talk about the actual content, it's good information.
Hello, I like when people are giving to the community and as such I respect your contribution.
But a friendly advice; when you are trying to establishing yourself within a specific community, you need to be extremely aware of your behavior & manners. Not only do you bad manner Ruyng in a foolish pointless manner, but you also try to squeeze in and support the idea of yourself as a "really good player" by setting up a scenario in which one factor is completely impossible - that of the hidden battle cruisers. If you are going to say that you are a really good player, you should have something far more valuable to back that up. In the context of that game, you describing how extremely good you are (and I'm sure you felt proud after beating Ruyng) is truly representative of arrogance, and that is never a good notion to be attached to when trying to establish a fan base.

Anyway, good luck in your endeavors.
I would have liked to say this buy I'd be adding unnecessary snide comments.

Actually it says alot about your credibility. What now should we make of your claim of "High Master/Low GM level" at SC2?
If you plan on doing more of this content there's a few things that will hold you back.
I won't mention the other comments that people have left but your entire cast was just depressing, I honestly felt quite sad after maybe 10 minutes of watching because of how you sound, in audio broadcasts the only connection we have to you is how you translate your thoughts, attempt to be more up beat and positive and people will listen.
If you're going to put yourself out there you don't lead off with "Pro Terran Replay Analysis". First impression is everything when it comes to spending time watching and learning. There are so many resources out there for people to learn and you very well could be the best but your name wont get out there because of the way you conduct yourself. Some people love it but the vast majority of people dislike it.
You're obviously of a high skill level and able to compete with some top players but this is a whole new world you're going into were you're starting from the lowest point, take the criticism in this thread seriously but don't listen to straight up nay sayers.
Goodluck, Have fun. I hope everything works out for you.

Considering 2400 is classified as grandmasters in the chess world and 2600 up is world class. 2200 is equivilate to national masters.
Might help if you do research before you decide to make yourself look like a complete tool.
Despite all of that, this was regarding "analysis" not any history of chess he may have.

2200 wouldn't even get you to FM, let alone IM or GM (GM is >2500).

You're wrong.
FIDE master = 2300 rating International master = 2400 rating + IM norms Grandmaster = 2500 rating + GM norms
Saying a 2200 rated player is "close to grandmaster" is very wrong, as wrong as saying any random 2500 player is "close to being the best in the world". 300 rating points in chess is a world of difference.
Saying 2400 and above = grandmaster is very wrong. 2500+ is *required* and players can get well above 2500 without becoming a GM if they don't get the required norms.
If you don't want people pointing out your falsehoods, don't make them in the first place, and don't try to defend them once you've been called out.
Jesus, people on TL can be obnoxious sometimes - i dont know are you a bunch of angry nerd-kids?
Guy posted a coaching videos, he is good player and suddenly only one or two posts are actually about content provided by him - the rest are nagging posts about trivial things like: "You arent good player", "You BM Korean!!!", "You arent close to GM", and most of all "You called yourself pro - how dare you!?"
It is funny how bitchy nerds can be.
TO OP - care only about to the point posts, ignore the angry, bitchy kids.
someone's contributing something on his own free time and will. honestly the negativity and hostility towards people who want to involved with the community just discourages more people from wanting to contribute if all they see is a bunch of whining and zero actual feedback.
please just keep your mouth shut if you're going to attempt call someone out and delegitimize their contributions. it doesn't make anyone feel better or help improve content.

Even if this guy isn't pro, I'm sure he's a hell of a lot better than the people deriding him. Even if someone isn't pro, you might still be able to learn from them. Anyone better than you can likely teach you something you didn't already know. I mean, Day9 hasn't competed in a single SC2 tournament, yet people will tout his word as truth but if a high master player wants to give advice, he's bound to have 20 bronzies harping on him because he's not Stephano. There's so much great content on TL, just check out what you want and ignore what you dont.

He got his information from wiki. He got called out, but with no source. He defended himself with a source: Wiki. Apparently though, FIDE's site says something different.
There's nothing wrong with him defending himself, with a source to back him up, especially if the one doing the "calling out" didn't even provide a piece of evidence to support his argument. If you're suggesting that people who correct others are always right, and that you should never argue back... things just won't work very well. Or maybe you are suggesting that people should know more about chess ratings, which would be pretty elitist.
But on topic, for future reference, never showcase yourself as BM or arrogant in your replays/analysis and be sure to be more articulate in your videos. I don't think people wouldn't be so hostile against you if you were well mannered and humble. Hopefully this doesn't scare you away from making more videos, but you have much to improve on. Manner, analysis, articulation, etc.
The TL community really is on a power trip right now... Calling out everyone for the most ridiculous shit. Why cant you guys just watch/not watch his VODs and shut the hell up ? Its really getting out of hand right now to the point that i dont like reading TL anymore
Just checked out the first video (skimmed around).
The audio quality is decent. More importantly though, I like your voice.
I'm not sure how useful it is for a mid-masters player like me, (especially because, even if a player is better, the way a high masters play may not necessarily be "closer" to what a code S player would do than say, a diamond player), though I did pick up bits of info that were useful, but for anyone in diamond or lower, this should be well worth your time. Compared to other videos/shows though? IDK.
The thing is that that is not about dedicating your free time, but rather promoting yourself with false pretences. That just doesn´t look that good. So if i go on youtube, thinking this is a pro player, defeating Slayers Ryung with his imba mech build, predicting the shit out of his opponent i might look into his coaching and so on, when in reality he is high master, played against someone who most likely isn´t even ryung and prepared the analysis to look good.
While I usually speak out against unnecessary negativity on the forums I think something has to be said about this guy potentially misleading his viewers and customers, considering that he charges $20 per hour for coaching and advertises said coaching beneath his videos. He 1) wasn't "near-Grandmaster" in chess, 2) didn't play the real Ryung, 3) isn't a pro Terran despite what the thread title clearly implies (and what his coaching site claims), and 4) can't reasonably be believed to have strategy and decision making that's "one of the best around". I hope people in the market for coaching are discerning enough to find a better deal.
I liked it quite a lot. You mention important things (the kind of things i hope to learn when watching a video) such as what exactly you need to do, what you need to watch out for, what you need to do in X situation if Y. I prefer this a lot over Day9's videos because, although they can be entertaining and educational, they usually take too long to make it worth it. Also, he seems to focus on providing broad, general concepts, and then showing how you can apply those to a game, resulting in a couple things you should or should not do. However, this takes too long, and at this point I'm really just looking for the very specific things, like shown in this video.
I hadn't considered hiding the rax like that neither... that will come in handy!
Thanks for making these, I hope you continue to make more.

I don't really agree with that, my mistake was simply a stupid move due to nerves rather than a mistake to analyse and correct. You are a cheesy player - which would be fine if you accepted it rather than trying to justify your one base plays as calculated.

How can you have high level analysis, if you all in and play cheesy every game. That doesnt give you "pro analysis" like you claim to have.

I don't have strong mechanics, so what? the appeal of replay analysis videos is discussion of decision making and not demonstrating how effective my apm is. You really think you would learn much from hearing koreans trying to explain what they are doing in broken and shy english relative to someone like day9 or me?
Since you get a 2nd factory before the first starport, is this build weak (is it considered auto-lose) to 1 base tank pushes? Usually I get the starport before the 2nd factory so that I can get vikings out faster, and get my raven earlier. Maybe it is only weak to 1 base tank pushes on maps without natural ramps, or maybe the hellion drop will do enough damage if he pushes out to allow you to sac a lot of SCVs to defend? Or maybe you adapt somehow?
Also, if he goes cloak banshee, your viking is only starting at 7:30. Similar to the last question, does the hellion harass keep you in the game or maybe even forces the banshee to go home? Because even if you do scan his main to see what he's doing at 6:30, maybe he proxied his starport, or your scan missed it, or such, and wouldn't expect cloaked banshees.

Even if you messed up and know why you messed up, it is something to point out to the viewer so they understand that it's not what the opponent (you) should have done, so in a way it is still analysis.
Also, he didn't even use those words, of justifying his base plays as calculated... Or maybe it was in one of the videos?
Even so, his all-ins are not cheeses. A cheese is something that, when scouted, is basically auto-lose. However, with superior micro, you can always win with an all-in build. Think of MVP doing a 1/1/1 marine tank banshee all-in versus a mid-masters NA protoss player. The latter would probably lose, even though he knows what's coming.
Hence, an all-in is a "calculated" build. A cheese is something relying more on luck, though you could even call that calculated -- when you perform a cheese, you should know how you can win, and how you may lose. In that way, you know the risks; the build is calculated.

How can you have high level analysis, if you all in and play cheesy every game. That doesnt give you "pro analysis" like you claim to have.
First, "every" is not true.
Second, what is a "professional level of analysis" is subjective.
Third, you can analyze a game without being good at it. The skills needed to play SC2 well and analyze SC2 well may be complimentary, but they are most definitely not directly related.
So, if you don't think this is high enough analysis (or the analysis is not done well enough, that is, explained to a professionally-polished extent), that's fine. But to support your opinion in the way you did, is quite unreasonable.

Nope, probably not. Of what I know, ryung (as well as alicia, MMA, ganzi, etc.) use Cella's account to ladder on NA. And plus, this one is named SlayerSRyu. SlayerSRyung fits under the 12 character limit, so I don't see a reason why he would shorten it to "Ryu"
Ive seen this guy play quite a lot and ive played against him a couple of times, and spoke to lots of people who have played him, and he cheeses a lot of the time. Maybe "every game" was a bit over the top, but he does all in very frequently.

Thanks for clarifying -- I assumed you meant "every" to be used as an exaggeration (certainly no one would all-in EVERY game... right? xD I understood you just meant to portray that he all-ins a lot), but my points still stand that a player's ability to play may be different from how well he can analyze a game.
But then you could say there are just 2 interpretations of "pro analysis". One is that it is a professional player analyzing a game (in this case, you would be right, it's not quite professional then, though it is relatively high level on the ladder). The other is that the analyzing itself is professional -- whatever that means, whether it is that the analysis is at a high quality and/or the analysis is done well.
A high masters player who rarely plays past 1 base claims to be "semi pro". Posts a video vs ryung (not even the real ryung) and bms him. Randomly claims to have high analytical skills with nothing to base it on. I would'nt give a crap if you were more humble about the way you approached this, but... all I see is delusion and arrogance
I understand the people that say " ey, he is making a contribution to the community" but really I hate false advertising, the only reason I opened this thread was because it said " pro Terran Analysis". Did it, to find out you where an all-inner, I have no problem about that but that means you have no understanding of the lategame and much less pro analysis.
After all the thing i said about him being a cheesy/all innish player, i did enjoy the analysis of the game against incontrol, as a protoss player it gave me more insight into a terran's mindest and timings when doing 1-1-1.
On May 27 2012 06:26 Eshez wrote: After watching the iNcontroL VOD I can safely say your statement 'my strategy and decision making is one of the best around' is really fucking wrong.
Deciding to all in because you know your not good enough to beat a player is decision making. Good decision making? That is questionable. Taking a game off of a professional player is impressive, even with an all in. Flipping a coin and hoping it works is not professional skill level, though. It is not impressive enough to make me want to listen to the "all-iner" that is for sure.
On May 27 2012 06:20 Chelch wrote: Why were you scared of the cannons against Incontrol if you had a PDD?
I think it was a bad decision to move back. IIRC he says he was simply unfamiliar with the situation, so he ended up making a bad move (going back home). Then again, if he had moved back but saved his CC, the game could have played out longer (especially since Terran can lift off his main base while protoss can't -- since the protoss doesn't have colossus tech neither, the terran could easily contain the protoss in his main). Also I think he said there was only 1 sentry, but he didn't realize, or something.

Hmmm, well you see, for that very reason this build will only be above 50% win ratio if you do it on large maps such as shakruas, antiga, TDA, cloud, and others. You can defend a tank push by scanning @5:30 as i mentioned, and instead of going BFH first, you get squeeze out 1 tank and siege tech asap, and build 2 bunkers with a viking. Obviously if you just go for BFH and no tanks you will autolose. As long as you squeeze siege tech + a tank and have 2 bunkers, you will crush the push.
Regarding proxy cloak.. by scanning @5:30 and seeing the tech inside his base you can deduce if he is making proxy factory+ if you see only the rax with a reactor on reactor, this is extremely suspicious and it then comes down to your game sense (whether that be proxy thors, or cloak) either way you need atleast 2 bunkers at natural and engi bay @6:00.

You can defend a tank push by scanning @5:30 as i mentioned, and instead of going BFH first, you get squeeze out 1 tank and siege tech asap, and build 2 bunkers with a viking. Obviously if you just go for BFH and no tanks you will autolose. As long as you squeeze siege tech + a tank and have 2 bunkers, you will crush the push.
Regarding proxy cloak.. by scanning @5:30 and seeing the tech inside his base you can deduce if he is making proxy factory+ if you see only the rax with a reactor on reactor, this is extremely suspicious and it then comes down to your game sense (whether that be proxy thors, or cloak) either way you need atleast 2 bunkers at natural and engi bay @6:00.

Deciding to all in because you know your not good enough to beat a player is decision making. Good decision making? That is questionable. Taking a game off of a professional player is impressive, even with an all in. Flipping a coin and hoping it works is not professional skill level, though. It is not impressive enough to make me want to listen to the "all-iner" that is for sure.
Instead of thinking about luck, think about probability. If I play high stakes games of poker online with the concept that their is some 'lady luck' that may or may not be watching over me, of course i'm going to get stressed. it's just a fundamental of mathematics that you have to manipulate in order to be successful. Get comfortable with 'luck', you'll have to work with it in any area of life.
And about BM. I tell people to leave the game when they have a 0.01% chance of winning because at that point both players should just get on with playing the next game, Ryung would play his next ladder game, and so would I; everyone's a winner. Staying in game at that point is just disgraceful.

Sounds pretty classy..
No such classiness as honesty.
Does anyone have any reps they would like me to look over?
