[SC2B] Liquipedia TV: Strategy Hour

Stream is over, thanks for watching everyone. Thanks lalush for participating, Imperator for hosting, Mystlord for the stream, Denotate for the awesome graphics and the Liquipedia nerds for doing various stuff behind the scenes.

And here, once more, is an overview of the build.

Variation 3 (your your opponent FEs):
+ Show Spoiler +
If your opponent doesn't canon first 10pool will kill FE on close positions. Otherwise you're left with the choice of powering drones, or roach all-in. If you choose the first:

Lair with first 100 gas. get 2nd gas early. Get 3rd and 4th before expansion hatchery pops. Deny scouting and power drones (if possible).

Make mutalisks!

Keep taking expos and powering while harassing.


Variation 4 (your opponent takes an expansion instead of being aggressive):
+ Show Spoiler +
Stop producing hydras.

Move forward with hydras and threaten your opponent into overreacting and investing into defense, thus delaying tech.

Power drones hard. Take additional expo. Try to fend off first attack with only ground troops. If opponent goes range colossi, you'll need to tech switch to mutas at some point.





The underground testing facilities of Liquipedia's e-Science Center are always buzzing with the ruffling of papers, the whirring of gears and the occasional explosion followed by the soothing din of sirens. It is a busy place where something is afoot at any given time. Now that we have finally installed glaive wurm-proof glass in the laboratory, we are ready to follow up the release of Liquipedia II with a StarCraft 2 devoted edutainment series: Liquipedia TV. For our first episode, Liquipedia TV proudly presents: Strategy Hour.

On the show, our very own (Wiki)Imperator is joined by a prominent StarCraft2 player. Together, they put a build order under the microscope; discovering the logic behind it, when it works, and when it doesn't.
An hour of StarCraft edutainment for you to enjoy and learn from.

When?
Sunday 11th of April - 22:00 CET, 16:00 EST, 13:00 PST

Where?
http://www.livestream.com/mystlord


For the first episode LaLuSh will be joining us, who currently boasts a 75% winrate and the #4 spot on the Euro servers. With him we will be discussing a Roachless Opening in ZvP. We will analyse a handful of replays and will try to establish a clear idea of what's going on.

Here is the basic build: do your homework and try to play around with it

During the show, we will be discussing its variations and transitions.

Afterwards, we will be taking questions from the viewers. Join #liquipedia on IRC and submit your questions to one of the channel operators.

Until then,

The Liquipedia Staff

Sounds great! I'm sure the show will be extremely beneficial to new players and current players having a hard time. I do hope to see this repeat again in the future with Terran and Protoss game analysis as well!

Thanks a lot Liquipedia!

new sc material is always good but it seems that noone is adding to the liquipedia at the moment with general purpose builds or articles, especially with terran.

This looks absolutely amazing! I don't know if I'll be able to catch it at the time; will there be a VOD of the episode afterwards on Nevake's channel (or elsewhere)?

Same, looking forward to this. Could give additional insight into the strategies and build order mechanics of SC2 for those that don't have beta. And perhaps resolve this thread?

Yeah that is a big problem for us at the moment. The main reason for this is that those involved in liquipedia has to spend some of the time, that we could be playing, on monitoring lp.

But we'll get there, that's a promise!
