[10.13] TvZ Midgame on Heartbreak Ridge: Fantasy's Play
[8.24] Hallmarks of Expert Play #3: Having a Good Mindset


Introduction

Hello Everyone!

This thread will be a compilation of every audio recording I've done to date. They all will be uploaded in mp3 format for easy DL and use! Moreover, everything will be organized according to topic for easy searching! Excluding the first 2, all audios will have ID3 tags for iPod + media player use.

Additionally, this thread will be the official "request thread" for topics you'd like me to discuss. Topics could be on: general structure of play, matchup specific play, issues w/ particular builds, micro/macro tips, analysis of certain promatches etc. Feel free to be as vague or as specific as you'd like. For example:

-"what is the underlying difference between 3hatch and 2hatch vs terran? Why should I choose one over the other?"
-"I'm terran and I'm having huge trouble beating protoss on Medusa."
-"Why did Hoejja stick with lair for so long vs Bisu?"
-"How should I hotkey my units as terran to control late-game big MnM armies?"

Also, if there are any formatting issues or broken links, PM me!! I'll fix them as soon as possible. Feel free to post or PM any feedback. Such comments will help future audios. Thanks!

maybe its a little basic. but maybe you have something to say that will help a C-/D+ zerg plz... multi-tasking. multi bases. maybe its just practice i need, but when i get outside of 3 bases, and especially at 5... the wheels just start falling off. i dont defend them properly. i dont seem to get resource gathering up enough at them all. and most of all, if im managing my bases- my units arent doing enough. scouting, harassing etc.

thats my main problem with zerg atm. probably just a practice thing i know- but you asked.

always great work btw and thank you.

I have a big problem with zerg. I feel that my mid game play is ok. But when I play on just 3 gas especially in zvt, I have a lot of trubble. I cant make many lurkers, becuz the defiler and scourges takes the most of the gas. Then I is left with mostly zerglings. And they melt so fast, becuz my defiler controll is not that great But 4 gas play have always been easy for me. Mass ultras and lings = win.

So my questions is: How to secure a 4 gas in ZvT, what base to expand to, and how to play as a 3 gas zerg vs terran?

If I play on Python (which I rarly do). I have secured a 3 base in a main, and have 3 base gas. What is the next exp I should aim for. A new main or the nat of the main I have already secured.
