Introducing zerg guide/tutorial youtube videos!

Hello guys, you may know me from my many many posts on this forum, help in the strategy section or my replay packs. I have always wanted to do this but just didn't feel like I had the time until now. Rofl forgot the e on guide woops.

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.

Video 1 - Zerg vs Terran - Playing verse mech as zerg

Plan out what you are going to talk about (more if you do it allready)
There are points where you seem to 'wing it' and dont bring your point across as clear as you could.

Other than that, really good!
Everything goes faster with me in it.

Thanks guys. I know it's a little monotone, but I am not a caster nor do I ever intend to be. Just uploading it to help players out, so if it's boring I do apologize but I doubt that'll ever be fixed xD.

Also vote for which match up you want next, added it a little late but better late then never right? I plan on doing another one next week is my plan!

Nice first video. The length was good and I like the concept, it's like a stream highlight with extra commentary. I don't have time to watch dailies etc anymore because they are too long and have a ton of random filler talk. I rarely watch live streams either because there is quite a bit of downtime when searching for games or getting the "wrong" matchups. (You might be copying the ZvP style from streamer X but use a a completely different style in ZvZ for example). I prefer to watch the recorded versions so I can fast forward and this felt like a shorter and more to the point version of that.

It started and ended well I think. I felt that most of the slow/quiet time was a few minutes in, after you did your initial presentation but before the in game action picked up. I think you could have talked a bit more about the build and general gameplan there perhaps to keep up the flow? Gas/evo timings, what you might be worried about T doing, map specifics etc. You did cover it to some extent though and after the drops started there were more things to talk about.

Any particular reason why you didn't make a bigger wall at your nat with the warren and evos? I've seen you and others build them near the spine(s) to wall off hellions with a queen but this time it was just the one evo at the main ramp and the rest in your main.

Looking forward to the next one.

Using your 15 hatch into roach tutorial to pimp my zvz nearly one year ago helped me turn it into my best matchup by far nowadays =D I don't use roach openers anymore in ZvZ but it was crucial in helping me to get a grasp on the matchup.
I liked your first video, looking forward for the next ones.

Yeah you should always make a wall, sometimes I am just lazy and don't or just plain don't think about it at that game.

Thanks for the feedback, going to try to do that with my next one, always appreciate the feedback ^_^.

If possible, can you make your videos "full screen" aka without the black edges all around? Just a little pet peeve of mine, but also allows more clarity with "full screen."
You only live twice.

I don't know how, I record with fraps - combine it all with windows live movie maker and it shrinks the screen. No idea how to fix that.

You got some nice tips for a fellow zerg player like me. But now a days when terran are being so greedy, cant you just punish it with a bling/ling all-in attack? I have much trouble take the third against terran but also against protoss.

Not really, terran's now of days kind of deal with all ins farely easily. At least whenever I try it on korea they hold it easy peasy. There was a period of time where you could, but now terran's figured out how to defend vs that while still going 3CC. It can work just it's not a solid way of dealing with it as time goes on terrans are just going to get better and better at dealing with it.

So its not going to work in the higher leagues and since I'm aiming for High Master, maybe I should focus on defending my third then?

Yes if you plan on playing high masters you should learn how to defend your third for sure. It doesn't mean never all in, but you shouldn't only rely on it as that is a bad habbit that you will find hurting you as you get higher in the ranks and realize you can't play a solid macro game vs them ever and your all ins get stopped most of the time.
