Thanks so much incontrol, I've always been a fan of your PvZ :O

Btw, I started cracking up when I heard incontrol's hulkish arms typing at a paramount decibel, lol. He sounds exactly like Philip Seymour Hoffman.

I am very curious how you have progressed in your PvZ since the coaching session. Have you seen significant improvements? Was the coaching session worth the money in your opinion?

Also, thanks so much to you and Incontrol both for sharing and allowing the vod's to be shared. Its so awesome being able to hear the thought process of a pro.
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

loved this video. highly suggest it to any protoss player, high and low levels alike. Since watching and practicing with this build in diamond 1v1, i've noticed significant improvements in my gameplay.

by having this gameplan you are constantly focused. i have hugely payed more attention to chronoboost. Also, my APM has gone up by an average of 20.

I also had no idea sentries (force field) were that amazing early game. I am more comfortable with expansion timings and most specifically using the robo. i tend to play more twilight templar specific builds, but now i am learning the power of the robo and how to use it correctly.

great in all match ups. i just really thought this was a great coaching lesson and wanted to thank Khaladas and inControl.

www.gosucoaching.net you can set up a time with him there. http://www.gosucoaching.com/

There are a lot of other coaches there that I have heard great things about, many are current pros on the scene.

Ask him about pricing, I know the prices change occasionally and he does multi-session discounts, so just ask him.

A lot of the tips he gave me on my game carry over to all matchups, but in particular I have been using this build quite a bit and it's extremely stable.

In the 100 ladder matches prior to this lesson, my overall win rate was 45%, roughly around the same for all matchups. My zerg win rate had been as low as 35% at one point.

15 ladder matches since this lesson, win % is at 53% with a 57% win rate vs Zerg


Progression wise, I'm pretty confident this session is going to set me on my way to breaking into diamond a lot faster than I would have been able to do on my own.

Hey Khaladas - Any chance of getting this stream mirrored elsewhere? For whatever reason, my stream stops streaming at 56 seconds (even if I skip forward past this point, it wont stream >_<!).

This video is likely to convince me to buy some time with InControl :D
I can't build there, there's something in the way.

Well it was captured by LiveStream but I don't have a clue how to get it off that site and posted somewhere else.

If anyone can help me do this, i'd be glad to put it up on youtube or just create a download link.

Zealots do amazing damage when they're in the enemies' face so the forcefield is just for preventing kiting. It's a better idea to put it behind the enemies' army though, imo.

Really big thanks for sharing this, some very interesting insights there (I liked the cannon placement at the natural) - I also really like the approach incontrol has to coaching, he doesn't teach cutesy stuff that "may" work sometimes or that depends on insane multitasking. For example, phoenix-openings are perfectly viable too, but I wouldn't advise them to someone who just needs some stability in his PvZs.

The 3 gate sentry-expand 4 gate pressure robo is imo the most solid build currently out there, allows for a good attack force to test the defense of greedy zergs and gets the observer quickly enough vs burrow. Awsome that incontrol allows these sessions to be shared, great advertisement, I'd think about purchasing one lesson myself, if I owned a mic

forcefields against Zergs is to reduce dps, zergs kiting defeats the entire purpose of roaches/hydras because they want to be running into your army not running away. why would zergs want to kite stalks/colossus when both have superior range to roaches/hydras

you're suppose to forcefield zerg's army to reduce its size, so majority of it won't be attacking you, and since colossus+stalkers have superior range all of the protoss ball can attack the zerg. zealots defeats the entire purpose of the forcefields since by default they're going into the range of roaches/hydras including the ones that are behind the forcefields

making zealots is good for handling lings when ff's aren't necessary OR when ff's block in their lings. Additionally I make zeals based on my gas. I am trying to conserve gas for collo/upgrades/stalkers etc.. but with 4 warpgates you will have more minerals than gas available as long as you are doing the build right so churning out zealots is a must to still grow your army but not impair the collo numbers
