All leagues are based on percentage of total players except the grandmaster league. Bronze - Diamond are each just under 20% of the total player base, Master's is the top 2% of the player base. Grandmaster's is top 200 players.
If the terran had held that off, loosing a bunch of SCV's and Jeff backs off it would not be considered an all in... I dont think that in SC2 there is an ALL IN that does not include pulling all of your workers. I'm sick of hearing that every build is an all in. he attacked did some damage which was his goal. I think Jeff hit a really good timing here due to his scouting.
@regnar1374 all ins fall into the same category as cheeses they are ,whether people want to admit it or not, legitimate strats when you scout and decide that is the best chance of pulling out a win
I don't think there is anything wrong with an 'All In'. If it works, it works and people should adapt. I think you should continue doing them if they continue to work.
If enemy is going to fast expand as terran, he has to expect an all in... Quit crying and stop fast expanding if you don't want your opponent to go all in...
@ghostly1985 A lot of more social players will add the punctuation marks in when they're not doing something. In this case, I'm pretty sure it was still complimentary
jeff how about using that smurf account to try teching up to 3tier units like high templars but not just mixing them in but theyre really part of your army in a bit of numbers with some warp prism plays and stuff
The only thing that kind of bothers me in the months I've watched you play is you really never go for the macro game. I think it would be great if you tried more macro builds. It's the best way to improve your mid and late game play. Most of your vids are typically 12 min or less it seems.
@JeffWatersRules That's a HEAVY micro tactic and hero expands with that plus gets either a TEMP archives during push plus micro with ff sentries. It's ridiculous what the guy does
NICE TO SEE YOU'RE STILL DOING NOTHING BUT GATEWAY FLOOD. HONESTLY IF YOU DIDN'T I DOUBT YOU'D BE IN MASTERS. THIS IS WHY I DON'T WATCH YOUR STREAM ANYMORE, WHO WOULD WHEN THEY COULD WATCH GOOD PLAYERS WHO KNOW HOW TO MACRO
@TheDrHobo constructive critisism is how you learn the most. And if they are correct he should apply the suggestions made. I read patroclus32's comment before watching the game and saw these "flaws" in his play, which could simply be better. We say these things to improve jeff's play, not to demoralise him.
@FruityOatyBar1984 Oh, that's what I thought at first but I was watching on 360p small screen and I assumed that it wasn't going to be a ! with what he said
how come i can watch jeff's stream on 720p+ no probs without lag but when it comes to watching youtube videos i have to wait for the video to buffer even if its on 480p
@Zalgrads I think it's because if a video is new, youtube hasn't distributed it as much? I have kind've the same issue.. usually if a vid is new, I can't watch it on 320, but 480 is great, lol.
It's the other way around for me for me. Youtube works more or less swell while twitch.tv is so slow that I cant watch anything live unless it's like 3am here. I guess it has to do with what kind of pressure the respective servers are under in our different locations.
3:09 WG research hotkey is g (default), it is a bad habit to click the icons, should also hotkey your gateways before they are warp gates so you can morph them while keeping an eye on your army. Nice call on picking off the depots at the front though :)
@iammestamanRS Because it is a bad habit, do it enough times and it starts to become more normal and hurts your play. If in a PvP he like proxy 2 gated and he was still pressuring you with the zealots when your core finished, you would have to delay the research or something else would have to suffer (ie. lose unmicro'd zealot or just time), in some situations a seemingly harmless mistake could cost you a game. These are the kinds of things you need to fix to become GM.
@patroclus32 dude good advice, but honestly i doubt jeff is gonna pay attention to ur comment. for a silver league player like myself this advice is great but usually higher league players dont listen, unless its advice from a pro player.
@nbandofbrother the warp gate this was a waste, no matter how you spin it.
bottom line, he should have/could have done the chrono on the nexus to make a faster probe(s) or speed up a stalker. he should have had a pylon building in his base, before he went out to make the proxy.
but it wasn't a biggy (however as you reach GM, it's the little things that start to count).
@eyallev He cut his probes and he did chrono a stalker. The warpgate wasn't a waste and if you think it was then he wouldn't need a proxy pylon. But how you worded it; it's hard to understand what you are trying to say.

Hey Maximus glad to see you are improving your play but you're still making some mistakes
1. You should be more active with your initial scouting probe. Steal some of his minerals and harass his workers to distract him
2.. When you get your stalker out you should send it to the ramp of your natural so you can kill the scv before it gets to your base
3. Your warpgate was finished way before you made your proxy pylon :/
4. When you did your run by in his base you should target the marauders
