UPDATE: Added TvT Videos!!

If any of you would like to follow my stream, I commentate my ladder games on NA and KR, masters on both servers. www.twitch.tv/maxsc

Hey guys, I really enjoyed Apollo's Terran tutorial video, and I'm sure many of you have as well. But I didn't want to wait until part 2! So I gave it a go myself. Have a look, let me know what you think, and if you like my tutorials I can definitely make more in the future!

Basically I copied Apollo's style, with a few major differences. All credit for the tutorial style goes to him. The differences are

1) I am organizing the videos by matchup. Basically I played a bunch of games in a row and recorded them, then compiled all the TvP's together (and will do so for the other races soon).

2) I record the games without commentary, just focusing on my play. Then I overlay commentary in my movie editor. I believe this gives both my play and my commentary and insight better quality.

3) When I play, I slow down and "polish" my APM - I try not to spam, move the screen around super fast, and basically do anything confusing. I want to make the games easy to follow and I want to give a good example of a clean mechanical style with low APM redundancy that lower league players can try to copy and it will benefit them.



Videos:

Apollo Style TvP Part 1 (35 minutes) - This is my first attempt at the tutorial series. Please check it out! Part 2 will be uploaded shortly.

Apollo Style TvP Part 2 (42 minutes) - Part 2 is out!

Apollo Style TvZ Part 1 (30 minutes)

Apollo Style TvZ Part 2 (37 Minutes)

Basic Mechanics - This video was my idea as a standalone, not part of a series of tutorials. I feel like mechanics are very under-examined in pretty much all SC2 videos, so I am trying to fill that void. I don't talk about any strategy here, I simply explain ALL the mouse and keyboard actions that I take, and how you can copy them. The game is a real game in bronze league, and the build is a real build that I use at a grandmaster level in TvZ.

Apollo Style TvT Part 1 (30 Minutes) - NEW!

Apollo Style TvT Part 2 (29 Minutes) - NEW!

TvT Replay pack - http://www.mediafire.com/?111qz6cc7bbh03n


When I upload more videos I will post them in this thread.

PLEASE let me know what you think, and give me advice like what I should talk about in my commentary, what I should NOT talk about, stuff that was confusing to you, mistakes I made and didn't mention, whether my strategies are good at the lower levels of play, ANYTHING.

I want to make these videos the best that I can to help everyone out.

Thanks for watching!

I think you commentate on a very nice way. It's lower than your original commentator speed which is just much more comfortable to listen to.

OK, I watched the TvP tutorial. You did a great job. Honestly, I'm diamond and I 2 rax on almost every map vs Protoss, and I've always been taking my gas at 13. It was worth it for me to watch all 35 minutes just to know that I can afford to take it at 14.

You spent a bit of time on the whole moving your army one place and then deselecting one unit and going somewhere else, and I feel like that would be better suited in the mechanics video. Also another thing to add is to go over EVERYTHING your scouting scv could see the protoss doing and the correct responses. This would have to be done out of game obviously.

Great guide, thanks man.

Ok thanks for the feedback. I will try to keep mechanics and things like that out of the tutorials and make separate videos if it is a big enough issue that people need to know about it to improve. I'll try to go over what I scouted in more detail. Possibly I can just pause the video and say a bunch then resume it.

Oh yeah, another thing, it seems kind of dumb to do the tutorials in silver, because the things done by that caliber of players is rarely what anyone faces. Why not just play at master level and show how to deal with the toughest timings and builds instead of showing how you can TvP when the protoss doesn't pressure or expand until the 10 minute mark.
