I decided to use technology and make a video blog for once! I just explain what eSports stuff I've been up to over the last month and then dive into analysing a see-saw ZvT vs Iaguz from ACL Sydney.



Aloha everyone!I decided to use technology and make a video blog for once! I just explain what eSports stuff I've been up to over the last month and then dive into analysing a see-saw ZvT vs Iaguz from ACL Sydney.





Hopefully the analysis gives some good insights into how you should structure muta-ling runbys, counters and harass when behind against a terran opponent and unable to afford a Hive-transition.



I'll be aiming for another vlog in the week or two before IEM Singapore to let everyone know how my trainings been faring (steadily top 100 GM on KR atm!).



Thanks for watching!

that was an awesome game, you should do more video blog! man, ZvT is sooooo hard to play, everytime I do these counter attacks I just get shut down by one or two widow mines and my 4th gets sniped offthat was an awesome game, you should do more video blog! 其疾如风，其徐如林，侵掠如火，不动如山，难知如阴，动如雷震。

Thanks! I definitely plan to, I love writing but it's easier in some ways to just talk to a camera . I think just a lot of practice to stay calm in these situations has finally paid off where I split ahead of my counter always to absorb mine-hits and pre-emptively evacuate drones and split up my defensive army into "a-move clumps" that I can just throw at the terran once he's on creep to scare him and slow him down. It's cool because HotS made ZvT so much harder but it's forced me to become a better player so it's actually a win for me Thanks!

I have to say that you gave good suggestions and some general ones can be applied to other games as well(Like BW of course). Pressure is the name of the game in Star Craft.

Nice to see someone remembers 'PiG's POV' haha. I know a lot more about the game these days! But unfortunately don't have time right now to do a weekly show.



I've just been putting all of my youtube content under the "frying the bacon" title whether it's reviews/blogs/interviews. I'm hoping to do more of these analyses in the future.
