Due to popular demand, tomorrow I will be releasing some strategic commentary VODs instead of FPVODs. I'll still do some FPVOD stuff though, and feel out what people like better to learn from. Also, I will release a replay pack when I get some time to play a bunch of games.



As I was coming up in SC1, I found First Person VODs to be a great resource for getting better. I'm going to go ahead and 1-up that, by posting FPVODs and also answering as many questions people have concerning my play as I can.



I'll update them in batches as I have time if people like the idea/thread.



Warning!: the first batch (and probably the second as well when I do that) won't be the absolute highest quality games you could hope for. My internet has been gross and I have about 30 disconnects from this weekend, thus wrecking my ladder standing. Infact, I think 2 of the games posted end in disconnects lol. This combined with being a bit rusty (been concentrating solely on commentating recently) makes it not the best or proudest games I've ever played.



without further adieu:

I dont mean to derail this thread into a "buff Zerg" thread, but if Zerg wasnt so UP you wouldve won that first game(where you dc'ed) with just the first push. He didnt micro his stalkers at all and you had WAY more units. You outplayed that guy hardcore but he still mightve won with his death push even if you didnt DC.



I loved the game on Lost Temple where you sent your entire army to hold off his army while you made a gazillion mutas. That was awesome.



Also, the Zerg chick sounds awesome in Korean lol.

While the exact reasons are heavily debated if nothing it makes sure you are always doing something. Whether its attacking. Moving out. Expanding. Or macroing units.

Yeah, I understand that. And I suppose high level players are so used to high APM after the first five minutes that the early game must me extremely boring, thus the mass clicking everywhere... It's hard to keep your 100+ APM average when you only can move an Overlord and a Drone, huh? Yeah, I understand that.

There are a lot of reasons, but keeping your speed up is the most important. An absolute must for top players.

Rahlekk Profile Joined September 2010 United States 107 Posts #13 Yeah, that's what I figured. So, I figure I'll do that as well, just to make sure I continue to keep my speed up at all times.



Thanks for the feedback, Artosis, keep up the great casts, podcasts, and etc.! viel gluck TLO ^^ | 행운을 빌어요 BoxeR

@Kazeyonoma

Generally pros say it gets the warmed up and ready for the intense macro later in the game.

In the first game, you saw the collosi and used roach/hydra to kill them. Was holding off the collosi until you got ultras your game plan the whole time? If you skip the spire stage, is it a good idea to sort of sacrafice your early army to keep his collosi numbers down?



In the second game, you defended with mass speedlings. I've read some strats (originated from Dimaga?) that you expand, drone til about 32, then mass lings, sometimes with +1 melee. Does this work well against Protoss?



One last general question, when do you get your gas at your expansions. It seems that you only get them when your fully saturated on the minerals, looking for confirmation.



Thanks Mr. Artosis, great commentary on the GSL, maybe next time I go to Seoul I'll say hey No Game-clock?? L2p!! lol jk S2.In the first game, you saw the collosi and used roach/hydra to kill them.
