Want to get some day9 style analysis on your gameplay? Maybe I can help!



About Me

---------------------------------

+ Show Spoiler + I've been watching day9 since about episode 100, and I find most things he talks about I find myself already understanding.



Reinforced with more confidence in my knowledge, I began casting last January with a more emphasis on analysis and continue to expand my understanding of each match-up.



I've been playing online RTS games since 1996 (15 years) and hardly play anything else. I believe I have a strong game sense of how to play RTS and starcraft II in general.



In 1998 I bought starcraft 1 and enjoyed the ladder as well as UMS (custom games). Since then I've laddered my way into masters when starcraft 2 came out, however, I gave up seriously playing to become more caster / analyzer focused. I want to give to the community and help make it grow.



I'd appreciate any support anyone is willing to provide, and please, leave feedback when applicable.





What is This?

--------------------------------------

+ Show Spoiler + I'd like to begin analyzing games for medium level players and help them improve their play and general knowledge of starcraft 2. I'd like players to reply to this post and begin sending me replays that I can go over while streaming it.



What I'm Looking For

-----------------------------------------

+ Show Spoiler + Players around the gold - masters level that wish to improve their game play.



I ask that players at least have some very basic knowledge and wish to get better.



I believe these are the players that will be able to gain the most from me.



How this Works

-----------------------------------------

+ Show Spoiler + *** I ask that players send replays to Sc2Magic@live.com with subject containing 'Analyze'



(This is for my organization benefit. If you do not put 'analyze' in the subject, you will have less of a chance to be picked to be analyzed).



*** The replay should be renamed with YOUR USERNAME, the RACES being played (aka the matchup), and your LEAGUE. If you do not want your league to be known, that's ok, I can leave it out.



*** The email can include a SHORT description (maybe like 3 sentences) if you have something more specific you would like me to go over. If it's too long, I'll read it, but you won't be on my good side ^^



*** Send 1 or 2 replays you want me to Analyze, do not send a whole bunch, I won't even download them if there are too many.



*** From there I'll select replays to analyse on days that I do analysis replays.



*** If your replay is selected, I'll email a reply and date/time when I'll be analyzing it so you can watch it, within at least 8 hours before I go live. (usually I'll tell you 24 hours before I go live)



*** The replays I select will be casted and analysed live and saved on youtube at (This is for my organization benefit. If you do not put 'analyze' in the subject, you will have less of a chance to be picked to be analyzed).***If you do not want your league to be known, that's ok, I can leave it out.*** The email can include a SHORT description (maybe like 3 sentences) if you have something more specific you would like me to go over.

Just as a question, are you Masters league? "He accidentally attacked his own nexus with a probe. Then half way through the game, poof! No more nexus. That's gotta suck!"

SwirlQ Profile Joined February 2011 United States 148 Posts #9 Can you analyze high masters reps?

TM-Magic Profile Joined February 2009 United States 61 Posts Last Edited: 2011-10-27 23:17:09 #10



I've been casting for 10 months off and on. I mostly do analysis with my casts (which are usually high masters level).



All replays will be saved on my youtube account (Although I may create a separate account just for this operation so it's sorted easier )



I suppose I could analyse high masters reps for you, but to be perfectly honest, I don't believe I'm as qualified in that regard. I'll see what I can do I can help a lot with army movement and when to expand, maybe not as much with strategy at that level.



I'll also be working out a definite schedule soon for when I do these casts/analysis once I figure out my work schedule.



Thank you all for the enthusiasm and willingness to provide me with material. I believe this is a win-win situation, I get replays to cast and gain popularity while you guys get help with your gameplay

I will sent some replays when I have a chance to ladder, hope they get picked



and a quick question, should we sent more than one replay so that you can pick one that is better for you to analysis (and to make sure the game isn't too short/too long?) this is great, I will be watching your videos for sure. Currently Diamond Z and want some higher level players to figure out what am I doing wrong in terms of decision making (an area that I think I lack the most)I will sent some replays when I have a chance to ladder, hope they get pickedand a quick question, should we sent more than one replay so that you can pick one that is better for you to analysis (and to make sure the game isn't too short/too long?) 其疾如风，其徐如林，侵掠如火，不动如山，难知如阴，动如雷震。

You may send a couple, but I do ask you don't send like a billion, I obviously won't check all of them, prob just the first few. @ ETisME:You may send a couple, but I do ask you don't send like a billion, I obviously won't check all of them, prob just the first few.

Pneumothorax Profile Joined April 2011 United Kingdom 68 Posts #14 Think this is a brilliant idea, have sent in my replay and really look forward to some of the things that could be analysed from others' replays :D

TM-Magic Profile Joined February 2009 United States 61 Posts #15 I'm not sure when I'll be getting around to the second set of senders (after the one's I'm doing tomorrow). It is Halloween weekend. Tuesday may be the next day I can.

TM-Magic Profile Joined February 2009 United States 61 Posts #18 The next episode is tonight at 7:30 EST (tuesday). If your video has been selected, I sent you an email last night, if it hasn't been selected yet, your time will come. I'm doing these on a first come first serve basis (for now).



I'll also be hashing out a schedule later this week, but the 3rd episode should be Friday, unless my schedule changes, which will be strictly fundamentals, which means no replays, just me jabbering on about simple stuff everyone can work on.



I'm planning to have episode 4 on Sunday, so continue to send in replays. LIVE CASTING - http://www.twitch.tv/sc2magic ................ VODS - http://www.youtube.com/sc2magic ..................

TM-Magic Profile Joined February 2009 United States 61 Posts #19 Just so everyone knows, I'm looking for a new format when you submit replays!



The replays sent should be named with YOUR USERNAME and your RACE + your LEAGUE, this'll make it easier on me to select replays and easier to remember which order of replays I want to use.



IF YOU DO NOT do this, your replays may still be selected, but you'll have a less of a chance. Anyone that follows this format will have priority over those that do not.



I'm also getting a lot of replays from the same players, which is fine, but players who have NOT sent in a replay before will have priority, so send em in!



Also, you can show support for this show just by adding questions and replying to this thread. This'll help my show grow and become more popular, as more people will know about it.
