As I begin doing more commentary, streaming, playing etc and generally just trying to ramp up my practice and SC2 involvement for Anaheim and the summer, I've decided to start a new program.



One thing I've noticed in comments about top streamers is that they rarely/inconsistently do analysis. I don't claim to be an exception - in the heat of a game, it's very easy to forget.



Also, I've noticed the TL strategy forums just have a general lack of good information. To remedy this problem, I'll be reviewing submitted replays on my stream:



The stream segments will be scheduled, and then the VODs will be posted on youtube.



For now, I will be taking Terran or Protoss replays. Please upload a replay on drop.sc and post in this thread with a short description and tune in for your review!



I don't guarantee I'll accept every replay, and I reserve the right to pick and choose. For the beginning, I'm likely gonna go more with plat+ level replays.

TvZ: A new reaper opening I am using to deny a 3rd and keep pressure. This is awkward execution but shows how the build transitions into the mid/late game (usually I just kill both hatcheries with the reaper\medi shit). This is my first time executing this version which involves an early expand (sometimes I just go straight for the reaper/medi on 1-base).

http://drop.sc/175051

EDIT: I found the original reaper build; this one I get the CC after the "death squad" is out. If you could tell me which build you think is better, I would shit my pants with joy. I also execute this one much better (its very short):

TvP: I really need to clean up my TvP on daybreak and could use your analysis on one of the most epic games I have played to date. It would be cool to get constructive criticism where I am playing my best; because then I will realize improvements that I might not have noticed myself.

PvT: On Entombed, Terran rages out later on, and watching the replay, there were a ton of things both he and I could have done better. Is this game an example of "lol Protoss a move" or what?

http://drop.sc/175055



PvZ: On Daybreak, Gateway first into light harass into a third from the Protoss. Zerg does a few failed pokes into mass Mutas off 3 base. I sort of anticipated this, so I bought enough time for Storm, and from there just played defense while the Zerg stayed on Mutaling against Colossus/Archon/Templar with a Stalker backbone.

http://drop.sc/175058



I won both games, however I think when I "play well" there's always room for big improvements. Masters P; though, I'm always interested in seeing how the other player likes to play, and as a non-Pro, generally I'd take any opinion around my level with a grain of salt.PvT: On Entombed, Terran rages out later on, and watching the replay, there were a ton of things both he and I could have done better.

Awesome; thanks so much! I am lucky to see this thread before other posters. I added a really short TvZ that would give context to the other TvZ in terms of comparing the CC timings and it's implication on the reaper harass. Awesome; thanks so much!

TvZ vs 800 pt (Smurf I say, his play stretched me out) on metalopolis. I need to actually learn to play somewhat defensively, and know HOW the fuck I won this game. It was 32 minutes long where he had 5+ bases, and I couldn't get a third up effectively. I don't think I once passed 130 supply, and just dropped all over the map constantly.



First flaw, I know, is going to his main after killing army + third, and running into banelings and losing it all, even though I felt I split rather well.



How the hell can I establish myself, and actually secure bases instead of just out multitasking and doing 2-3 drops at a time against a zerg that does this kind of muta ling bling mass expand style?



Btw -- thanks for being so nice on ladder on your smurf yesterday.



vs 900pt mech terran on Korhal

And another. I do well vs mech, but I feel this game got WAY too close, and want to know (besides being awful and not macroing most of the late game) how he almost came back, and where I could get better against mech. I kept taking bases, as I could, and multi prong aggressioning (new verb) him, but I just couldn't find too many holes. Then that big mech push comes, and I'm forced to do a like 270 degree concave. I completely smoke his opening, but on maps like this, with sensor towers, PFs and tanks, what should I go into? I always stay bio, and throw games away for it. What and when should I look for clues to transition into bio + tank (IE heavy marauder light marine and tank if he goes light on vikings + air) or go straight into bio + air because he doesn't have a substantial viking lead. Just some clues and tips on engaging and beating mech, and not drawing the game out to this long of a game where it came SO close to me losing. Both games on my smurf here.TvZ vs 800 pt (Smurf I say, his play stretched me out) on metalopolis. I need to actually learn to play somewhat defensively, and know HOW the fuck I won this game.

Players: JRex (me and P) vs Nuxy (T)

Map: Entombed Valley

Date: May 7th

League: Diamond EU



Match-Up:Players:Map:Date:League: Short Description:



This is part of me trying out a rather defensive play style as Protoss to force a lategame.



1Gate Expo from me into early defensive Colossus. Terran goes Marauder heavy bio, later adding Ghosts and Vikings while I focus my army around Chargelot, and High Templar after the early Colossus tech.



It's a 27min fairly standard PvT. I would like to help identifying weaknesses you see in my play throughout the entire game. I feel like I have trouble really narrowing down specific points of my play to improve on.

It would be great if you could have a look at the replay and maybe identify 3 main points to work on. That would be greatly appreciated.



Oh and there's a Mothership of course. I will use that Momma as long as possible just because!



Thanks so much for this, really great initiative!

This is a TvZ custom game on Daybreak, Diamond level.

I start off 1 rax expo, add a quick 3rd CC and it turns into an eventful game from there.

Lots of base sniping, base-race type action, with lots of drops. This is a TvZ custom game on Daybreak, Diamond level.I start off 1 rax expo, add a quick 3rd CC and it turns into an eventful game from there.Lots of base sniping, base-race type action, with lots of drops.

Thanks a lot for the replay analysis!

I really am vulnerable to early Vikings with this build and I will incorporate the HT's to guard the ramps. I went early charge because I scouted with my obs that almost every Barracks had a Tech lab on it. The heavy Marauder count made me do that. It was probably a bit of an overreaction. Pylon spread is definitely something I need to work on, especially in PvT. It's usually better but due to the spawning positions I didn't really need spotting pylons for drops which made me totally neglect pylon spread. (I had no idea about his 4th and 5th due to that ). Thanks a lot for all the tips. It's great to have an objective opinion and I feel like it was really helpful!



I recommend everyone to submit a replay.

If you do that, somehow make the title or something about what games you do, so it's easier to navigate, ya know?
