Incontrol is streaming an EG training session right now. So is Axslav and Machine, for that matter. Really good content. Funny, and really good for learning so far as they are discussing everything in the game.

Tuning into an EG stream right now is simply a very good idea.

1st: I very enjoy it, to watch iNcontroL's stream. it's like a ritual every morning (Germany).
2nd: The Zealot/Phoenix/Archon Match against the Zerg (mass muta, ling, infestor) on Tal'Darim Altair was very interesting with +1 ariattack. u played it way better than Axslav. Can you upload that replay? it way about 7:00am CET, one of you're last games today. i would be very thankful.
Greetings

Training sessions are cool, but unfortunately get muted.

There's nothing I can tolerate less than the sound of another man's keyboard.

Well, muted when the in-game conversation starts. Unmuted during the hilarious art of war story.

Geoff, what you guys did tonight, the 5v5 Cats and you captains everyone on vent talking about the game.... I would watch this type of thing for hours and hours and buy tons and tons of sponsored merch. It is very interesting to listen to this type of commentary from you guys as well as get to know you guys and how you work together. Its a mix of Big Brother, State of the Game and an MLG tournament.

Team Chug and Tug! woot

Love to hear your doing this everyday.

Didn't know Strife was so fucking good btw.

Does anyone know the build order for the really fast third build that Rocker was using in the training games on Shakuras? That build is so sick and I would love to copy it :D

Thanks for a great stream, learned alot from the rocker coaching. Especially the splitting marines and using a group to focus a tank. I admit i feel 80$ is alot, but if you pay that you get the best. Also like you say things straight

Hey incoltrol. So... I had a really weird dream last night

I dreamed that I heard your voice on the Battlefield 2 radio thingy, not that I played bf2 or have played it in a year or whatever but yea thats what i dreamt. so out of nowhere I walked down in the basement of my local supermarket, where you were rigging up your computer in a room, then we played bf2 with some other dude. was pretty fun

I should probably stop using melatonin I get the craziest dreams. I think all this because I watched you on last nights SOTG :D

Random thought while watching the practice sessions...can take or leave it as you guys wish :p

With the TvT style Demuslim was using, there's nothing to really dump minerals on once he gets his 3rd going, so they tend to pile up, but it's a style largely about air control starting about that time. Makes me feel that it wouldn't be unreasonable to research turret range around this time and start to reinforce positions with LOTS of turrets. Even turrets in semi-random spots on the map could be useful as well on maps that you can't really wander with hellions as a mineral dump.

Should make it easier to hold postions and take firm air control if the opponent is ever foolish enough to engage near them...i dunno, may be worth considering for something like 100 gas for the upgrade, and the minerals that will pile up otherwise, since gas is the restricting resource.

Where are all the pro protoss streams? It's like HuK has disappeared... Hero's stream was awesome for a while, tempted us with practice games vs Puma and then he stopped suddenly... MC would stream once in a rare while, but that seems to be gone as well. Hopefully someone informed can answer my question. My guess is SlayerS house doesn't allow streaming?

I just watched the coaching for the terran player. What helps a lot to get more confidence is to always have a backup/followup plan. If your drops ALWAYS get killed just send them out anyways (with shift queues for a reasonable flying path) and dont even care what happens to the drop while you bring your tanks and marines in front of his base. In this case your drop will almost always do very little damage (because you are not microing it at all), but you are experiencing a worst case scenario that the terran players with the highest skills have to deal with regularly against opponents with the same skill and very often win after, even if they lose all of their drops immediately. The major aspect of drops (as inControl said) is to get better army positioning. Doing damage with the drops almost only happens if the Zerg reacts poorly to it or if the Terran is already ahead in a way that the Zerg can't afford to lose too much army positioning.

The same as Zerg is all about reacting to your opponent, Terran marineplay is 100% about forcing your opponent to do stuff, and if it is just to force a better army position for yourself. If you feel too pressured to move out, just force less pressure by dropping or attacking with banshees so it is secure to move out. Once you get better with terran (and for that matter all races) everything feels very logical and you don't do things just because pros do it but because they feel right and make sense.

The most important thing is to be not afraid of stuff

Just be confident and know that you can overcome stuff if you analyze it from an outward point of view or just by comparing your replays to pro replays and copying them.

Zaros12 moderator privileges need to be revoked. After saying he was leaving chat to watch tv he goes on to say "one more ban before I leave". Then he ends up banning 3-4 people who honestly did not deserve to be banned. All they did was mention how harsh banning is in the chat or that it's messed up to ban someone for almost nothing before logging. After he left someone in chat mentioned that they were perma banned and had to create a whole new twitch tv account because of him. I was perma banned for someone on this chat once and I assume it was from him. I've never said anything even remotely close to deserve a perma ban.

PLEASE look into your moderators some of them are extremely "ban happy" and plenty of people are getting 10 min timeouts and even perma bans for comments that on most streams would just be ignored. It's fine to have a harsh ban policy but if you do please put some rules in your stream description.

If we start a campaign to get you 10,000 viewers on stream will you do an entire 2 hours of commentary using your special "girl voice"?

Hey incontrol, You're always the first stream I check in my folder of toss streams but it seems like you aren't online the majority of the time I check. Do you have regular streaming times or is it just when ever you feel like it? Thanks!

p.s.: Ordered 1 hour of coaching from you and waiting for a reply
