Hello everyone! I'm Caneras, a Master level Protoss player. I've decided to start streaming in hopes of motivating myself to practice more and to hold myself accountable for practicing. I'll be streaming ladder games, customs with my friends, and practice matches.
I always try to engage my viewers as much as possible by providing commentary (read: raging), talking with and in chat, and playing customs and team games with viewers (especially followers :D ). Something I've been doing recently is play random team games and have chat decide what the only unit I can build should be or what restrictions I have to play under. There's been a lot of expand 3 times before getting Tier 1 tech, High Templar only, Nuke only, etc. which makes for great games. Definitely worth checking out.
I also have different things like tournaments, giveaways, or something similar for every major threshold I break as far as concurrent viewers and followers. Next one is 100 followers or 50 viewers. I want to give back to the people that choose my stream over the hundreds of others. Thank you all.
Tentative Schedule: -Tuesday and Thursday: 0900 CDT[local] to 1300 This will be mostly ladder. -Friday and Saturday: 2200 CDT until I get tired. I may not always stream weekends. Just depends on my schedule. Weekend sessions will entail more customs and team games to unwind after a week of school and work.
Season 6 Stats: -NA: Master Division Nexus Foxtrot -KR: Diamond
Season 1 Stats: -Diamond Rank 1 of Hyperion Epsilon ~3500 Points -302 wins (Loss count was removed and I don't remember what it was before)
Season 2: -Diamond Rank 4 of Medivac Zed -1468 Points -101 Wins
Season 3: -Place into Masters but demoted to Diamond
Season 4: -Master Division Tassadar Delta - Finished Rank 22
Season 5: NA: Master Division Shuttle Foxtrot - Finished Rank 77 with a ton of bonus pool. KR: Platinum Rank 5...I'm not going to even try to type out the name of the division.
I also buy and play games on Steam and play console games. I'll stream random games every once in awhile but will focus almost exclusively on Starcraft 2.
Edit: Added a montage style video to play during my stream.

I play them on shuffle so if you really have to ask about a song, feel free to bring it up in chat. :3
hey! i like your playstyle, would you be kind enough to recommend 1 or 2 builds per matchup that a high gold-low plat level player should practice? Since you seem to have a lot of coaching requests, I don't mind practicing on my own.
Here's what I got:
PvP: 4gate, I'm actually pretty good at it relative to my level. Haven't lost a PvP since silver league, lol PvT: 2gate robo, works pretty well, but I don't know how to transition out that well. I usually go for 5gates + colossus PvZ:3gate sentry expand. A lot of my diamond/masters friends recommend I try out FFE but I really don't know how to transition after my Nexus is up. Some good timings would help for when to add on gates and some strategies like 6gate, 2base colossus, etc.
Most of the time I win macro games, I tend to lose to 1base plays against terran and early pools against zerg, so any recommendations on builds that would help if I scout those types of plays or reactions to them would also help! I'll go back to watching your vods now

If you're on the NA server, message me in game. I PM'd you my IGN and #. We'll work on it if you'd like and I can show you some builds. :D
Nice series, I could see it taking off. One thing however is that I think you should move the day to Saturday night, especially with the late starting time. You're not gonna get as many viewers methinks on Sunday nights when most people will have to get up in the morning.
I appreciate the kind words and recommendations. I'm considering doing it Saturdays. I'd like for it to be on a night that there usually aren't events during already. If you have anything to say about the I'm Out Already!? Series, though, please post it here. Hope y'all tune in for the next one!
Stream's up! I'll be analyzing as much of my play as possible and will go over replays with viewers as well as give tips and play games with anyone that wants to learn Protoss as well as I can teach it.
