I was pretty active 6-5 years ago when Starcraft 2 first came out. Day 9 had a great series to help new players. It had strategy, psychology, everything really.
Anything like that these days? Anything to help someone get started with LoTV.
I will be playing Zerg once I am done installing.. I love to have some video in the background as I go. Ideally something educational like the Day9 stuff.
I don't follow Day9 myself but I believe he's essentially done with Starcraft and has moved on to other stuff. The basics are the same they've always been though, making and spending money efficiently. His videos on those are just as applicable now as they've always been.
You'll have a hard time finding solid build orders right now because for the most part even the pros are still experimenting and learning. The strategy forum itself also seems largely empty, I haven't had the most luck here. There was this thread from two weeks ago that might give you an idea of what to work towards learning. Hopefully stuff peps up a bit after our first big tournament rolls around and all the pros bring their strats into the light.
Welcome back! I suggest you just watch a stream of some pro player that you like. Write down one build order for each race and start playing. The openings for the first minutes or so tends to be quite optimized but from there it's about finding something that works for you.
Right now people are still just experimenting with what works and what doesn't. A lot of people, including myself, still play around using old strategies with just a twist of the new stuff. Kind of works. We'll see what the pros comes up with on DreamHack, exciting times!
The "softer" parts of playing the game, like mentality, mechanics, general on how to learn and those types of things hasn't changed. You can look up old threads and VODs and they will still hold true to day.
He was good at breaking down stuff to simple ideas, because he watched way too much. But it was way too time consuming to make day 9 dailies and develop a game.
@day9tv 2015-03-16 16:41 UTC @IVILeGeND For now yeah! Takes about 3-4 hours to prep each show and I don't have the hours lately unfortunately. Hearthstone takes 0 prep
From a reddit thread. Sry you're just going to have to keep the supply depots coming and keep your minerals below 400. May be after meta has settle down a bit, and his game is finished. But that could be 6+ months from now to years. Sorry, I don't better news.
If you want the 'latest' LOTV meta...though not much has established, check out streamers (Neuro, PiG when he is on, Catz). I haven't gotten into the ladder yet (still playing campaign) and i found watching them play help me a lot in understanding LOTV and how each units work.
Just keep an eye on what's new in LOTV (OL can now research drop individually after building a evo etc.)
I've also been away since WoL and started again now, this guy helped a lot to get back into it.

I recommend Winter also, strongly. I was Masters in WOL, and am using his videos.
And I have almost 10x the posts you do.
You don't need to learn from the absolutely best player of any race out there. I got quite good emulating and learning from WBC, HwangSin and Naniwa. Needless to say, I like timing attacks.

The basic principles of the old Day 9 daily mechanic episodes still applies, just watch them, especially the episodes about micro basics and hotkey, then apply them with new meta.

You should check neuro stream before all, catz if you can stand his music and singing and then TLO. Skip winter if you didn't get the memo.
CatZ pretty much stopped doing the 'music and lolwhatever' streams. He's been doing almost exclusively commentary and replay analysis over the last couple weeks.
