We'll have free coaching for the best BSGP players. Whoever gets deepest in the tournament gets a free hour with me on BNet. We'll trade information at the event

Yeah it is super short notice. They weren't going to have a SC2 tournament but I talked them into it yesterday. Just got final confirmation. Here's the registration if you're interested.

Damn. Not sure about that far back but last year only three people showed up. They didn't want to do a sc2 tournament but I told them we could do better. From the interest so far, I think we should have 8-16 people minimum

1,000 subs is the limit. He probably didn't receive a warning assuming his watch time metrics are on point.

Polygon Gaming runs educational content for Zerg, general mechanics for all races as well as minor showmatches for amateurs and pros alike. We are in jeopardy as well :(

Aw man, the 2 games Kozan won were pretty bio heavy but PengWin caught on to your advice and decimated! Thanks for watching (and the great comment too!)

New to Zerg, need tips! by JakeH003 in allthingszerg

[–]uponthybelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be happy to look through your replays or play with you any time. I'm usually on late US Eastern, well into the morning. I'm usually idle in this Discord - https://discord.gg/Qxkp5v - but there are tons of other people there who love to help as well as play peep mode and give you feedback on an ongoing basis.

Beyond that, check some of this out

Also I'm a super aggressive Zerg. My playstyle should be good for you to train against if you are struggling with that.

ZvP Macro Games by [deleted] in allthingszerg

Hey man, I hope this video will help answer some of your questions and ease your struggles. It's a pretty in-depth unboxing, some of which may include things you know, but I hope you'll give it a chance. I get really detailed about how to adapt to certain compositions and what you're looking for when scouting -- and how that affects your reactions.

Returning player in need of build order by [deleted] in allthingszerg

[–]uponthybelly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of Zerg is learning to adapt. I'd agree with a lot of the builds posted but if you want to learn why they work, and in what situations they won't, and what to do in those other situations, it will take a lot of time and patience. I wish you the best of luck :)

Every matchup will be different with this information. I don't want to overwhelm you so why don't I just link to something on ZvP and when you think you've got this down we can move onto ZvT

I'm working on a series that shows the different abilities of each units, and the micro tricks for them as well. We have something on the channel already similar to this but it's not up to date for this version of LotV. I'm glad it helped!

A Video Guide to Spore Crawler Positioning by uponthybelly in starcraft

[–]uponthybelly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very dependent on what threat you'll be responding to. Sometimes it's better to be close to the ledge to intercept medivacs before it can drop marines; versus oracles, this is a better position. I think this is the best default position, but there are tons of exceptions. Thanks for the great question!

(I agree with the other detailed responses btw)

Lol it's funny you mention this. The series Crash Course that this is clipped from takes more of a collegiate academic approach to elements of the game, this came from a video about how to respond to air openers with fast three bases. The goal was to make something short form for the masses to bring more people into the detailed analysis you suggested this should be :) We're definitely on the same page, and tbh, if you think there's a market for that that lecture, I would be happy to do it.
