Hello again! Yesterday's Newbie Tuesday was canceled due to connectivity issues, so I'm trying again! We'll be examining how to combat PvT early expand styles, w/ an emphasis on HOW to think about an expanding player.

So you zerg buddies can join in too!

Being a professional player is overrated. I'm a professional pro-player replay watcher, it's much better.

I am in love with you. Seriously, I am a straight man, but I want to make love to you. Cutie.

I feel like a little padawan listening to my great jedi master.

@Denna58 Well probes pay themselves off pretty quickly but it's that initial 400mineral loss that hurts you most until you start making that expansion profitable.

I can't wait to get back on sc2 for sum laddering. These tips really help improve my game exponentially. I know the tips are geared towards application in sc2 but some of the basic skills like watching the minimap while u macro, thinking while you play transferring pretty well into bw skills too. I used to play at 140 apm, alot of spam, EAPM=~40, Now i easily play every game at 200+ apm, EAPM=~110+. much less redundancy and don't feel stressed at all ingame. thanks day9

[Denna58]
