[Tegatuss]

Scary moment when his clock on SC2 says 17:40, i look at the time and its 17:40 D:

[wwroble]

9:55 game vs polish prime minister... didn't know he plays SC2

[NormalGuy1337]

20:25 guy walking like a baws on minimap.

[ohnomiko]

if your friends don't play zerg, make them play zerg

[gottmedmos]

blame lag:)

[ploumtagada]

My name is Mat and you totally pwned me at 27:55. gg.

[Coookie1372]

Stupid lag at end ...

[pianopro9]

LOL!!! At around 6-06 he says This is madness.

THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TeeDawl]

LOL at 18:02 "CysnO" I know him in Real Life! LOOOL !!!

[Coookie1372]

@TeeDawl

WOOOW !!!

[tednoob]

Ha ha ha, Silly dApollo, of course there is no frame dropping. It's an Alienware computer.

[GrimEcyhr]

Thank you d.Apollo, I look forward to putting your teachings into my bronzie gameplay :)

[bunzike]

thanks to you (I play bronze) I now beat gold and plat players, you have improved my play so much, thanks for super vidioes :D

[norfsk]

My eyes went like 0_0 at 30:35

[ZcertimTO]

And keep working on it ;-) :)

[ZcertimTO]

Thx Apollo :) this is very good stuff. ;-) Now i know "what is going on here!" :D

[Khallann]

Thanx D'Apollo, really enjoyed these series. And I learned a lot.

[tGullAg]

More please 

[Beefcaake123]

Thanks dApollo, I went from Silver to Platinum in less then a few days :)

[TheKarolans]

awesome

[Navifaerie64]

Madness? THIS! IS! XEL'NAGA!

[sanome12]

these helped me alot thanks

[cook1tj]

Really enjoyed this. You are the man Apollo!!!

[BRADM69]

Both this and the last video froze at the end :(

[BRADM69]

Poor guy.. would be nice if you responded to people every once in a while. Nice videos though! Really helps, my zerg was pretty weak.

[hanslol]

Why don't you get baneling speed in every ZvZ? 

[Imperceivable]

FOR THE HOR..SWARM!!!

[Imperceivable]

"high five yourselves"....isn't that clapping that just clapping for you -_-?

[Melenkurio]

@apollo I dont understand how you can play hatch first against other good players. Wont you ALWAYS just builorderlose to a straight 10-11 pool because banlings are too late?

[BlueEyedSon101]

@ dignitasApollo could u plzzzzzzzzzzz make another vid?

[BlueEyedSon101]

season 5 is not locked yet i dont think

[skurt132]

I played my placement matches after watching this, was bronze before went into platinum even tho i was afk the last match. Cant win a single game now.:/

[ShadeScarecrow]

Dude i just wanted to say Thanks, just got my copy of sc2 at christmas 2011 so im pretty new. Used this save build all the time since im playing latter. Lost a lot but when i started scouting quite heavily i was ready to counter whatever was heading towards me :)

[Muppstarz]

Hmpf after abour 500 games im still gold and after just about 20 games he's. In high plat.

[Mazth]

d.Apollo drinking game:

1. When he says 'shortly' take 1 sip

2. When he says 'or something' take 2 sips

3. Everytime he gets supply blocked take 3 sips because he is a ffing master player.

4. When he says 'take a sip of coffee' finish your drink

[blafuckyou]

@Mazth u forgot "but thats fine" :p

[Mazth]

@blafuckyou indeed!

[AbduCola]

@Mazth Take a sip whenever he says, "thats fine."

[dahwan3D]

@AbduCola We wouldn't want people to get drunk THAT fast

[Smubbs]

@Mazth when he says that's fine 1 sip

[Solidis458]

@Mazth HOW COULD YOU FORGET "Thats fine"!?!?!

[Mazth]

@Solidis458 I AM SO SORRY...already started the drinking game while watching/before writing comments! ;)

[NBAkingsfan10]

@Mazth

5. when he says straight away take a drink to :D

[systemmik]

lol 9 minute mark you played against a polish guy haha xD name account = polish prime minister xD

[PukeOfThePukes]

i only wanna know one thing, do you wanna creep spread in ZvZ?

[Equiliptixx17]

@PukeOfThePukes Yes, you realy do for two reasons.

One : It gives you vision and if you spreed on his creep he won't know that. So taking a overlord with upgrades and a queen in it. Just put it down creep up the queen goes and you leave. There, you have a permanent scout.

Secondly : It gives him speed.... But he will still get that speed by puting down creep himself, so do it for more speed and scout.

Good luck and have fun man :)

[msturg80]

@PukeOfThePukes yes because it gives you map vision

[PukeOfThePukes]

@msturg80 but then suddanly from nowhere you have a million lings swarming in each and every second..

[joylife]

very good thanks

[ColorDistortion]

Great series, thank you very much!!!

[Blackdusk144]

Sooo many ZvZ :( but awesome videos great help keep it up

[peedera0]

at around 38:00 did he kill his own creep tumor?:P

[maxmogus1337]

this is the best 58:45 minutes of starcraft 2 zerg education i have ever seen and i am starting to win more right away!! even more educational than combatex!! you rule!

[fishkerdydoo]

Appreciate all of these videos Apollo! They are absolutely amazing, very well explaning basics for zergs. I loved every bit of all 4 of them. Definitely keep making content :)

[iTzLynx]

When is terran coming?:D

[msturg80]

is there any rule of thumb as to when to put a 2nd hatchery down in the main? I'm a total newb.

thanks

[Mickeyboymitch]

@msturg80 its best when you have a few expantions and have alot of minerals to spare, i usually stick one down about midgame if i need to get lings or roaches out quick and have the extra minerals. Helps after obvoiusly due to the extra lavi.

[xxSoulReaper273xx]

dat timing metabolic boost

[myszorg]

why did you kill your creep tumor ?:)

[MrDhamis]

@myszorg if its the one i'm thinking of i believe it was blocking the hatch. but don't take my word for it i'm a noob lol

[DaneGoDave]

awesome tutorials! :D thanks to these tutorials I've a sick winrate. Thanks Apollo! <3

[mkb4kids]

very nicely done

cool tutorials

again is there any way to bild a pro team of starcraft 2 players

in the contry were i live and actualy get them a right to jonig the oversea real turnaments

with the big like

EGidrA or Morrow and more .....?

[Kenchan1337]

Awesome video mate, must say im most impressed with your timing in making a decision takes you like 2 sec to form your next move and go with it. did you play chess in your younger years?

[nathanroberts1]

Nobody on ladder watch these apart from me!

[GekoPoiss]

I didn't see a seperate hotkey for the queens.How did he hotkey them?

[OuroborosSC2]

@GekoPoiss I don't think he does. I think he just clicks them when he goes to each hatchery.

[GekoPoiss]

@OuroborosSC2 Thanks for the answer :)

[TheMightyThor319]

fuck terran

[akramuddin91]

It was you?

[kallewooof]

Part 5 would be awesome! As ppl say, not a lot of ZvP and that's the match up I suck at the most :(

[Ricedoutazn]

how do u do that thing at the beginning where you quickly spread out the 6 drones?

[xxGizmodioxx]

@Ricedoutazn lol, bad troll is bad

[remoliao]

We didn't see any match vs a decent protoss player =(, cause you didn't get a match set up in the last 2 parts. Could you do some ZvPs? maybe higher leagues?

[theoldschoolnerd]

i heard of these series from a guy that beat me on ladder! thx 4 the vid bro the were awesome!

[xXDryDogXx]

I've got 2 questions, Zerg vs Zerg, some/all units (Zerg) get movement speed on that goo, does both get that attribute from same goo no matter what team its from?,and second is early baneling's on their drones good?( 33:00 )

[bermagic]

@xXDryDogXx Yes the creep (goo) gives movement speed to ALL zerg units team does not matter

and killing drones is always good :)

[xXDryDogXx]

@bermagic Thanks for the nice answer :)

[vogter2605]

Part 5 Go Go!

[brenjunior]

lol the ending :_:

[NovemberBegin]

ARTOSIS PYLONNNNN

[gunstarpl]

lol @ donaldtusk

[eNIKaVmi]

donaldtusk zerg :D 8:27

[TheAocowns]

So much damn ZvZ ;__;

[Disti23]

Apollo is so awesome!

[SonOfNye]

24:56 Just imagine how that diamond player felt when he looked and saw his opponent was ranked in silver.

[musicaddicted777]

@SonOfNye he prolly said to himself that this was a smurf

[BRADM69]

@SonOfNye Lol, I think about that a lot too.

[protectaa]

Thank you for this. Id like to see a game vs ffe. With stargate and then robo. Im having a hard time with that, toobad it didnt have any of those games!

[sm13r00]

Hory sheet. Thank you so much for taking the time out to make these they've helped me so much in my general play and reading the opponent. I was gonna come say hi at i44 during that ridiculously long game with that raven spammer LOL but you looked slightly mad :D. Anyway, thanks again and keep up the amazing work...!

[cromos]

JIMMY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[hojobojo]

Thank you so much for doing these videos. I have learnt so much. I think I'm now around the Platinum league level of play now!

[Cosmo123123123]

Can you do at least one more? I want to see this get to at least plat... just so I know this works in the stronger ranks... Thanks!! ♥

[santeenl]

That dude at 50:00 is so bad, he does a kinda roach ling all in populair back in may 2011, but he does not expand with it and roach count is half what it should and and the push comes like 1 minute to late. Guess NA standards? :)

[Hankatu]

Yes. I held your hand. I, personally, clenched your sweaty palm.

[ozzbe]

Great tutorial :) Voting for Protoss next :D

[brad0544]

Lol in the last game, the protoss didn't even scout the expo :p Lings killed the Probe before it got close.

[Pac1611]

make protoss tutorial

[korstejake]

Thank you <3

[HaRveHHH]

Video freezes at the end??? :/

[earthling9791]

@HaRveHHH Yeah, video freezes right at the end in the last game, which is a real shame. Hate to see such an excellent series of tutorial videos finish like this.

I think another video may just appease the fan base :)) hint hint wink wink! :)

[HaRveHHH]

Thank you so much for these tutorials apollo! they are amazing and a great help. In regards to hotkeys is it more about preference or are there better ways of setting them out? (I put my bases on 1 and my queens go from 2-4 and army 5-7)

[Dugarsaddy]

Pretty amazing with which simple measures/actions you calmy outplay people i personally would struggle with. Very helpful and great food for thought!!

[HeliconPath]

Heres my bronze to GM terran strat.... build marines! :D

[ChivalrysDownfall]

@HeliconPath <--MarineKingPrime

[deadlizard64]

@HeliconPath Zerg builds baneling, it's super effective.

[brad0544]

@deadlizard64 Terran uses "I'm not retarded", it's even more effective. ^^

[Pac1611]

Amazing videos

[mmmyea445]

What a bunch of BM motherfuckers, not a SINGLE gg. [sigh]

[JTH9789]

Love this series, can't wait for the Terran videos!

[G4m3r4]

This has been one of the most helpful Starcraft II tutorials I've ever seen!

Instead of making up theories and writing meaningless numbers you show us how simple it can be to go up to silver. Great Job!

[dchaomein]

lol imagine being a high diamond and getting steamrolled by a silver

[TheFrostedCereal]

God damn those sub boxes, I was wondering where the next one was so I looked at your channel and it's been here all this time! I don't even play zerg and I still love to watch these. Psyched to watch your other ones. These are easily the best starter videos out there! :D

[Blae000]

You handsome nerd! This is so awesome!!

[Sparta5234]

apollo i dont think you understand. i am more than eager for the next videos on terran and protoss.

[Themarcoabrillo]

can you be more detailed on how to do ling/banelings? hotkeyes/ micro/ mind setting? ")

[Dragonlacrosse07]

Great set of videos man!!

[AtomicVFX]

I don't like to thumbs up whore but I would reallllllly like the Protoss series to be next. Thumbs up so Apollo sees how many people would like Toss next.

[acklete]

Best tutorials on the net for SC2 and you didn't even charge money. So thankful trying to help Esports instead of make a quick buck

[sacreduranium]

I'm not the only one that gets a video feed freeze for the last minute or two on this vid and part 3 am I?

[shengetter1]

Before I watched this series I had no idea on how to play Zerg but, thanks to you I think that I will pull a TB and switch. thanks for the great info.

[Themarcoabrillo]

gonna share this with my younger bro who just started playing sc2 as zerg tnx man u make beating diamonds so easy ")

[AlexSongDoesCovers]

"Oh no, oh no, Jimmy"

LOL, I love you Apollo! You are so fucking hot. Thank you for all these videos!

[Travelvids1001]

lol he beat a diamond player that was ranked 69

[unfluencedarea]

I want to thank you for these video's, im looking forward to the Protoss' tutorials! (well ok and the terran :D)

[practiceAcctk]

awesome

[Snowgooooose]

i am p and i watch these, SO good, are you doing a P or T version?

[Telanhzan]

@Snowgooooose No, you didn't watch these since he specified 10 frickin times he's doing a protoss and a terran one.

[Narraeson]

I can just imagine the high diamonds raging at losing to a high silver..

[bombertaylor]

Especially with Terran



[bombertaylor]

I want to see high level long game !!!

[Th0gge]

Thank you for all these wonderfull tutorials! You almost made me convert to zerg!



[clydae]

Apollo, you should show the placement match for this account now that season lock is off!

[Erebus2075]

love these toturials ^^ so nice made:

[karrrdo]

I am so looking forward to the Terran tutorials. This is certainly some of the best StarCraft 2 related stuff out there! Awesome job Apollo!

[hastifer]

Thank you very much for this. Can't wait for the other two tutorials.

[Musici344]

57:00 You read my mind.

[deathblub]

I am so tempted to switch to zerg right now ... great job with this series. Can't wait to see the other races.

[gbaird68]

why does his videos seem to freeze at the very end?

[SlipUp911]

Possible you could go all the way through to master on all the series. Even if you start losing games, it would still be really good to watch.

[MrLeonTrout]

Excellent conclusions to the series. Any more you put, I'll be watching!

[Ingram124]

please god apollo i know its rude and demanding but please do not stop this series, im a massive fan of urs and i find these videos too damn good to miss, even if they are released every now and then , i am learning so much so please keep em coming :)

[MisterMephistophiles]

Nobody GG'd him when they lost. . . xD

[sakrai]

Thank you SO much Apollo! Can't wait for the Terran videos!

[Grhymtv]

omg 6:00 , made me laugh so much

[Sha0wn1]

Thank you so much for doing this.

Eagerly awaiting the Terran and Protoss tutorials.

[Dparrey]

That zerg, Cysno, his micro was actually really good, not a single blunder to banes, yet no banelings or anything else of his own. Weird

[TheHighestNoon]

@Dparrey This is just conjecture, but if I had to guess I'd say he's probably playing that way specifically to practice his ling vs bane micro. That would explain both why he didn't make any banelings and also why he had such good control (for all the good it did him).

[SzrZx]

I'm kinda in love with you.

[S203]

Can't wait for a Terran version. lol

[Dparrey]

"Is this for your teaching" The word is spreading fast :P

[MGuD18]

Make TB watch this!:)

[Kirenje]

great videos apollo! can't wait for the terran one aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaa

[Lich120]

Awesome Stuff man. Really great. I beg you to do more, but, even if you don't much appreciated work.

\

[xVocalistx]

I have enjoyed this, thanks apollo :D

[KondoPondo]

Will you be releasing the replay pack for this zerg series?

[krowzormoar]

Is there any other way to keep ontop of your Hatcheries with them bound to the same hotkey? Can you jump between them somehow, I'am not fast enough to have each hatch on a different hotkey

P.S Terrain first please!

[xVocalistx]

@krowzormoar I think it's backspace by default that bounces between your hatches automatically, should you use it you might wanna rebind it :)

[Ve3ner]

@krowzormoar

you can jump between your queens, single hotkey them all and rebind something in camera controls (default is backspace but I forget what exactly it says), backspace will actually cycle through the queens; so if you rebind it to ` for instance you can cycle through your queens injecting super fast

[krowzormoar]

@Ve3ner thanks man, so much easier to play zerg now!

[Kallegal92]

What do you use to record the screen? XSplit or?

Btw, great series I just love them, and cant wait for more!

[Oboyle3ify]

do terran next, if you plan to do more that is.

[TheDanielson666]

@Oboyle3ify did u even watch the video -.-

[Neskelicious]

Will you be making similar series for both Protoss and Terran aswell? :)

[seriour]

Go for toss apollo!:D

[randallwhiteis]

Somewhere HFiGrimzzy is watching this going "SHIT".

[martinarcand1]

shit son.. 1st game vs plat :D

If the plat didn't know who he was he'd be pissed :D

[MusubiMusubi]

When I go hatch first in ZvZ, what I have the most trouble with isn't 6/7 pools, but stuff like 10/11 pools that mass lings and maybe blings for an allin attack before I really have a lot of banes. Is holding that off simply micro, or is there more to it than that?

[wowFaelein]

7:17 Climax into the terran main.

[meta30403]

More.
