We'll be doing a VOD soon on unit control, micro etc. Not only for zerg, but all 3 races. To do this though David needs to be at my place because you need to see the location of the mouse.

I love you too, buddy! :D I'd like to try to help you out a little bit in posting to Reddit, and perhaps other forms of social media. Sometimes, when you just post stuff like "Intimate ZvX with Stoic - Episode 18," while you're accurately saying what the title of the show is and what episode it is, there might be other information that might be better at catching the eye of potential viewers. When you just have the title and episode number, the average person scrolling through Reddit posts just scrolls right by it, because it's just another random dude's foray into helping noobs out. No offense to you guys, but this particular market is quite saturated. However, you guys are awesome, and you need to find ways to make yourselves stick out so that other people are also capable of realizing this. What you might try instead is using the title of your posts to play to your strengths to attempt to garner more viewers. For example, when you submitted Episode 8, you had "ZvZ" at the end of it. This is a little better, but let's try to put some even better ideas into the viewer's head. For example, by saying "This week is ZvZ week!" it might make the reader think "oh this show happens fairly regularly," thus making them more likely to place a vested interest into it. You could try submitting just one of your four/five parts like I did - in this example, I said exactly what the selling point of that specific VOD was, and why the viewer would want to watch it. He might stumble across it and think, "oh hey, I'm having a hard time with that push" and click on it (I assume that's what happened, since I happened to quintuple your normal viewership of that one video). If you REALLY want to see how this is done, go check out Day[9]'s Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/#!/day9tv He is the master of this. A few examples: "Having trouble winning in TvP? Today we look at the necessity of blasting the Protoss in the midgame w/ T!" or "When I awaken, I'll be analyzing DeMusliM's amazing mech win vs Nestea! :D" The source of my advice: I do some translating, so I have a lot of practice at dicking around with words to find the best way to portray ideas. | ||

You actually increased our viewership 10 fold, lol. I was thinking along the same lines about thread titles, but I like the way you explain it better. Thanks for the tips! Always appreciated. I work in B2B sales so marketing is definitely not my strong suit. | ||

Keep posting your ZvP questions, we will answer all of them in our next VODs, even if we cannot find games that will answer your questions. Thanks for all the support guys! | ||

What is the zerg's best 'reply' and how best to defend these? at 16 supply send down 1 drone to patrol the area below your ramp, if you are going gasless expand send another drone down to try and get the hatch early, this way you can use both drones to fight the probe for the hatch as well. | ||

Regret never wants to sacrifice a drone (and thus, econ) so he doesn't do this. That would be the hard counter or 'hard prevention' though. There is, however, a way to play against this. I'll see if we can arrange a "CombatEX" style cannon cheese to make a VOD. iMpDuster should be game. | ||
