So I introduce to you my zerg guides/tutorials that I will be uploading on youtube. I don't know a better way to name it so I'll just keep that ^^.
What this is, is my zerg play where I take my replays that I have played (most are going to be from the korean server) and I will go in depth into my decision making and why I do what I do. While I do commentate while streaming most of the time, this will be even more informative (I hope anyway) then that due to not playing and commentating at the same time.
I plan on making this a weekly/bi-weekly thing. The first video I did was a zerg vs terran. Since this is my first time doing this I imagine I can get a lot of good constructive feedback on what I can do better. Right now I just use fraps to record, windows live movie maker to combine, then hamster free video converter to compress and change the file so it's not huge. If anyone knows of a better method or anything feel free to let me know!
I plan on going over many various situations in each match up. Examples would be marauder/hellion all in, then another can be a macro game, how to deal with certain situations. I will be doing all match ups and will probably zvp next, then zvz, then zvt again. I hope this helps a lot of you guys out and hope you guys enjoy it as well.
Thanks again and hope you guys enjoy!
Heart of the Swarm Videos:
Video 2 - Zerg vs Protoss - roach/hydra into ultralisk
Notes: Heart of the swarm zvp, going roach/hydra into a fast hive into viper/ultra/ling/bane and corruptors when he goes air. Shows the viability of ultras in zvp as the army the protoss has when I go ultras is an army that would crush ultras in WoL.

Description: I saw quiet a few comments saying mech is hard to beat as zerg in hots, so I decided the first video back would be beating mech in heart of the swarm.
