As a Silver League Zerg, I scouted the Protoss proxy stargate with my overlord going to the Vision Ring, then remembered to build safety roaches that saw off his Adepts, and then the working economy and Queen injects led to repeated waves of roach/hydra the enemy could not cope with. He GG'd after his natural was about to fall ! First ever win against Protoss on ladder !
Adding to the endless list of thanks for making this series. Your comments about expecting to lose in the first video was what I needed to finally give myself permission to suck and start laddering. Today, I won two games that I'm really really proud of--really the first two games where I felt like I was playing "real starcraft": In the first game, I managed to hold a cannon rush easily, and then hit the natural with my first batch of 8 roaches. Was so far ahead that I got to practice transitioning to hydras (I usually panic that I don't know what do after the big roach push) as if I were playing the AI. Second game, got hit with roach-ravager, pulled back to a choke and held. Choose good engagements, managed to do a few box-splits, remembered upgrades(!), and shut down the opponent's 3rd twice. When he tried to attack my budding 4th base, I had so much more that I was able to A-move into their base after shutting it down.
I’m in gold league and I am still watching this silver league video over and over again to try and get the build and timing right. The information in this video is amazing
This series will single handedly cure the next RTS generation from macro cheese victim mentality. As someone who followed your Florencio Files to Master League, i have very high hopes for this followup series.
I think the most important thing i learn from your videos is just staying calm. If you get stressed about what's going on you tend to get flustered and forget tasks. Thanks for your videos!
@Bart Zumba Ah yes, only the top ten people on the planet should teach the rest of the planet the basics of the game... the same way we should only allow nobel prize winners in mathematics to teach second grade maths... (I don't want to assume, but the above was sarcasm btw. As in, people who are good at something should be able to teach those who are not yet good, the steps to get better...)
I'm a forever plat zerg and the tips in these videos have been so helpful. I overcomplicated so many things. Retreating? 1 click, nothing more. Made a 3rd base? Stop trying to drone and build army at the same time. I really think I'll reach Diamond for the 1st time at this rate
This is exactly what i needed! I recently decided to start playing starcraft, but I've been feeling a bit unsure and needed someone to give me something to start with. Thanks Pig!
I'm new to the game and absolutely horrible. I eaither focus too much on economy and get my million drones overrun by 2 marines or try to speed up my army and keep hearing "not enough minerals" every 2 seconds. Just watching this video taught me to chill; trust the build order. Thank you. I don't sub to much but you earned mine. Amazing teaching video.
Thankful plat zerg player here, will watch the full series in order to shake off the rust. Also i feel compelled to say that i love the use of Rimworld soundtracks, definitely one of my favourite games.
BIG thanks for this series. Getting back into SC2 after like 5 years (playing casually with friends). This is a huge help to get me back into the flow of things with Zerg. Cheers.
Iv'e started playing against other human players like a few days ago, and ever since I decided to do so, I've been trying to find ways to improve my general gameplay. Even though I still mess it up a lot, each match, in my mind, I have this routine of yours... "build a few drones, build an overlords, build a few roaches"... in my head each time I do a macro-cycle (still getting confused a LOT, but at the same time, this helps SO much getting things in order! And also lots of small things, like getting exactly 3 drones into my gas... distribute a few lings on the map to get some vision and warning. This is all great, and once I get better at handling the APM I can muster at the moment (it's usually around 70 to 80), I'll be certain to win against better players as well (currently I have 2 victories out of about 10 matches, wich I think isn't half bad). But without videos like this, I'm sure I'd take much more time to improve! So thanks, it's really fun to try and follow your advice and see results
The best thing I've learned thus far isn't build orders or control groups, it's how to properly react when you're getting attacked: sarcastically panic like it's the apocalypse then do something actually productive about it. Thanks PiG.
Gotta say man thank you for the guide, coming back from a few year stint of other games. Had the macro down but I always got too many queens and didn't know when to tech switch and attack, was able to go into the games and I'm on my way to plat. Ty brother
BTW, quick historical note on Mongols. One of their two losses was at Ain Jalut, where an Arab army retreated, the Mongols chased and ... guess what happened ...
This series is really working. I am a little afraid I am one of those people who's like, allergic to really putting in the work (online games are too anxiety inducing to play regularly) but I practiced the build and particularly the macro cycle a few times against AI and went into a match against an opponent They did some Liberator harass into BC stuff and like, the old me would've crumbled under the pressure. But even while I was being murdered, I just kept my macro up, hid my hydras until there was enough to actually take the fight, and sent my roaches across the map to kill his base without even looking at them.
The first match against Protoss Silver is literally my reality: I try to expand and they rush at me so fast and then I lose. This concept to attack with what I have even I'm being attacked by annoying Void Rays was amazing! I love your videos PiG, thanks a million! ❤🙏
Hey thanks for that. I watched a few games in the video and that cleared off my anxiety real quick and I proceeded to win a truly nail biting 30 mins game with the few tips I gathered. Looking forward to watching it all and getting my game truly on point for climbing further =)
I've seen some people do some B2GM in different games and its a mixed bag of just absolutely destroying to see how fast you can climb or just taking it easy and getting there anyway. Pig does B2GM and its just one huge SC2 101 intro class hammering about the basics and the importance of the Eco with a side of the art of don't fight losing battles Super Dope
@@PiGstarcraft I've watched vibes videos, I find that he doesn't really realistically defend cheese at the league he's at (he'll start using 250 APM in gold in order to not lose), and takes the just macro approach to hard imo. just your general tips of how to use your roaches or when to counter attack is super useful advise.
@@dylansevitt I mean, macro is everything though. Difficult to lose when you max out repeatedly, especially in bronze and silver where you have 100 supply more than your opponent
@@flrn84791 first off, very few people even play in those leagues I personally got placed in silver 1 when I started and I was gold within a week of playing. I don't think spending your money is bad tip, I just think that you don't need to watch bronze to gm to figure out that part. People watch better coaches in order to learn how to deal with certain scenarios at their level which vibe does but it's not his focus.
@@dylansevitt My point and vibe's is just that there's no point learning to micro if you don't have the macro to back that up. First learn macro automatisms, then it gets fast enough that you can micro while macro-ing in the background. He spends a lot of time on that because it's really important. I'm not sure how many people play in those leagues is relevant.
When you started up with "this game we focus on basic scouting" my first thought was "ok, we speedrunning the mechanics", only to realize that im basically binge-watching this series without taking my time to internalize the stuff from the last video. So anyways, im still gonna binge-watch the entire thing, just so that i've heard about all the mechanics that exist, and then give it a second watch where i actually try them all out :P edit: oh, at 12:44 you literally said that you are "speedrunning it" (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
pig ik ur prolly not gonna see this but i just wanna say ty for all the time and commitment you put into these nooob starter videos for each race of starcraft significantly decreasing the learning curve for new players on sc cuz u clearly did this out of the good of ur heart and love for the community w how much amazing info and helpful stuff there is in here its been amazing to just chill and watch and get a whole new understanding of sc macros + all the nice little tips like w control groups and mineral line micro made sc2 a whole new game for me just wanna say ty for all the noob friendly info greatly appreciated
I’m so hyped!!!! I JUST got back into SC and here you are with this series!! I got back into it waiting for AOE4 when I saw your vid on that. This is the new gold standard for a teaching series.
PiG thank you so much for making this series! Thanks to you I have gained 160 mmr in a week! I am almost peak mmr for Zerg than I have been in a long while and its thanks to this series! Thank you so much. Keep up the great work mate. Much love
Just recently picked up the game again and have been following your build order and keybindings and once I felt more comfortable and fast enough I tried going online for the first time and got into Platinum 2! I'm honestly shocked lol thanks for the help PIG!
These are the best Zerg tutorials on TH-cam. I've started playing again for the first time in 5 years and managed to get to gold yesterday after a few days of playing. Thank you!
Found you yesterday night and watched 2 videos from you then woke up in the night mumbling "inject, inject, build drones, build overloards..." fell back into sleep. Nice videos man! Thanks for the good help videos!
i trust you PiG only a true Gentleman listens to the Rimworld Soundtrack on Stream ;). Also big Thanks after years im Returning to Starcraft and i finally can muster up the courage to really get deeper into competetive play because you are able to take a lot of my tension and chaos while playing
Picked up the game 2 days ago and these vids are SUPER HELPFUL, i've started actually beating people in quickplay consistently, i will unlock ladder and play there soon enough
I have not started doing 1v1s yet as I prefer team games, but I plan to see how I can rank 1v1. However the tips you have given here, especially the control grouping eggs part, has really helped improve my macro, and makes me feel comfortable building while I move and attack. Thanks alot.
Man throughly loving your videos. Starcraft has been my outlet for years (since SC 1 came out). You have invigorated my passion to get back into 1v1 and challenge my skill sets to get better. New Subscriber :D
Welcome aboard! I've actually just started a new Zerg B2GM focusing more on the mobile zergling styles rather than roaches. Both are completely viable, up to date and solid but worth checking out: th-cam.com/video/A9m2VsBPPvQ/w-d-xo.html
@PIG,thank you form making these videos.i have been watching sc2 and not playing any games for years. now decided to play some ranked. helps a lot. I go every video and in parallel I play game in the same ranked levels as the video. helps a ton!
I'm loving the B2GM series! Is there any chance you will do a terran series? Ive watched most of the PiG dailies but a lot of the build orders are outdated and I find myself autopiloting to a 2-1-1 double medivac drop every game.
Vibe is saying the opposite as well :D and creep is really helping me tbh. Before I'd get surprised by an attack at a time where I wouldn't have had a good army, now all good.
I come and go from SC2 highest I've been was Silver 2 never heard of the macro cycle before, used it with the build a few games and a Silver 1 said "Thats a lot of Roaches" then GGed
Pig has the best sense of humor, find myself watching his video just to hear his jokes. Wish he would branch out, hes got so much potential outside of Starcraft. Feel like he limits himself.
Dude u r so fking funny xD, its been 6 years since i played sc2, now im into it again, got plat in a week and find myself improving at good rate, still ur comments while playing on lower leagues are pretty intresting, gonna keep on watching u m8
if you don't include the dashes in front of the timestamps in the description, TH-cam will be able to pick it up. You could keep the dashes, remove the dashes, prepend the game number in front of each stamp, or have 2 lists - one with and one without the dashes
For some reason I just enjoy watching any B2GM videos. Keep them coming. ty. Kay. (Yeah my opinion) If gold or under Id just send 2nd ovi to the Nat to scout canon/bunker rush. I wouldnt use tactics D and above would use. This level it could just be a probe/scv forgotten about and is idle. Or opponent is just slow. I would not over react at that level and scout ovi for proxys or worry about spores. Just macro until its habit and play react style. You max in between 830min to 10 min you most likely win by macro anyway.
Normally what I have done in the past grinding up to gm on Zerg is add a few queens I normally go 6 or so have injects and roaming with creep spread and take your time getting to it all just focus on certain things but if blind against a Protoss a safe option is one spore in each mineral line or just overlords/zerglings around for vision of the units moving across
Hey i had a really weird experience today my nickname is Deez and i usually played Protoss before then i started to really , really like playing zerg and i decided yo improve in the game so i watched your first video , then i decided to do what you told to do in the video , in 2v2s my rank wasnt unlocked yet and i solo queued a few matches then my APM jumped from 70-80 to 100 in a span of 3 games which was amazing i got good in the macro cycle which really helped the funny part is when my rank was unlocked the game sent me to MASTER 3 i dont even know if its possible or not or if its a bug(probably is) but the guys below me had like 2k games and right now i have 90 games💀
Thanks for this. I started playing like a month ago and just these two videos have gotten me to silver 2 with zerg. The part where you talk about BC's was too real though.
Love you content, been watching your zerg videos. I quit the game for 8-9 years. I left I was Platinum, but coming back I'm like 2800 MMR Bronze 1. It's hard to play and learn the cycle at that level, because ranked is a lot of zergling rush, cannons, and other strategies that don't allow me time to get the fundamentals down. Should I play computers to get comfortable with the map control areas and macro cycle?
Just a quick side note, if you are referring to the horseback reversed archery tactic, thos were the huns. However as they are mongolian origin, sam sh*t.
I have Mostly Played WC3 and General's, And when Blizzard Made SCH2 Free, I transitioned Good thing I was already Into watching SCh2 Tournament and Streams, I had prior Knowledge before playing the Game. Gave me a Newbie Advantage, Have a Roll of losing and winning Streak.
Hi Question @ 2211 / 1:27:10 --- If one unit image could be your image for all of your/ they units would you be ok with a static image that moved. ty for your time @PiG
Does he have inject set to right click? he didn't mention it in the hotkeys but i have to press V every time i want to inject. I cant seem to set it to right click myself
i play mostly 4v4 (plat/dia), and i already build one spore in my hatch about 3:30. that helps alot if you not scout. Ah, okay you just talk about :D...after i wrote this lol*
Ty so much Huy! Btw I just started a new Zerg B2GM focused more on lingbane styles over on my coaching channel if you wanna check it out: th-cam.com/video/A9m2VsBPPvQ/w-d-xo.html

I would not over react at that level and scout ovi for proxys or worry about spores. Just macro until its habit and play react style. You max in between 830min to 10 min you most likely win by macro anyway.
Normally what I have done in the past grinding up to gm on Zerg is add a few queens I normally go 6 or so have injects and roaming with creep spread and take your time getting to it all just focus on certain things but if blind against a Protoss a safe option is one spore in each mineral line or just overlords/zerglings around for vision of the units moving across

@PiG If you want the timestamps in the description to show up as "video chapters" (the TH-cam feature), then the first timestamp has to start at 0:00
Hey i had a really weird experience today my nickname is Deez and i usually played Protoss before then i started to really , really like playing zerg and i decided yo improve in the game so i watched your first video , then i decided to do what you told to do in the video , in 2v2s my rank wasnt unlocked yet and i solo queued a few matches then my APM jumped from 70-80 to 100 in a span of 3 games which was amazing i got good in the macro cycle which really helped the funny part is when my rank was unlocked the game sent me to MASTER 3 i dont even know if its possible or not or if its a bug(probably is) but the guys below me had like 2k games and right now i have 90 games💀
I always watch your channel while playing rimworld and hearing the sound track twice is trippy.
Well done! Very enjoyable to watch and learn from!
Thanks for this. I started playing like a month ago and just these two videos have gotten me to silver 2 with zerg. The part where you talk about BC's was too real though.
Pig you're learning fun, this series is great.
Impressive educational skills PiG!!!! it really works!
Holy smokes, I was just thinking of checking out the first coaching lesson. Well, that's on the backburner... :D
Your tips just flippin' work :)
Some of your best videos man
The rimworld music is awesome haha
Absolutelly no one:
PIG: INJECT!!
Love you content, been watching your zerg videos. I quit the game for 8-9 years. I left I was Platinum, but coming back I'm like 2800 MMR Bronze 1. It's hard to play and learn the cycle at that level, because ranked is a lot of zergling rush, cannons, and other strategies that don't allow me time to get the fundamentals down. Should I play computers to get comfortable with the map control areas and macro cycle?
great guide dude!
Rim world bgm had me thought off the class awhile
Just a quick side note, if you are referring to the horseback reversed archery tactic, thos were the huns. However as they are mongolian origin, sam sh*t.
I love these bronze to gm vids!
0:00 It is funny seeing a GM so happy to be in silver lol
130 I've heard this called Tripwire Troops IRL history
I have Mostly Played WC3 and General's,
And when Blizzard Made SCH2 Free,
I transitioned Good thing I was already Into watching SCh2 Tournament and Streams,

Gave me a Newbie Advantage,
Have a Roll of losing and winning Streak.

Injects stack so.i.use only obe control group and buff the hatcheries. While keeping like 2x queens to hatchs

Hi
Question @ 2211 / 1:27:10 --- If one unit image could be your image for all of your/ they units would you be ok with a static image that moved. ty for your time @PiG
Does he have inject set to right click? he didn't mention it in the hotkeys but i have to press V every time i want to inject. I cant seem to set it to right click myself
its the rimworld music for me
Man, after myself spent like 60hrs in Rimworld this week, seriously? U have its music for sc2? Lol
i play mostly 4v4 (plat/dia), and i already build one spore in my hatch about 3:30. that helps alot if you not scout. Ah, okay you just talk about :D...after i wrote this lol*
how do we place 2 things at the same time? i always need to reclick the drone to build the 2nd thing
dont worry about the troll comments calling you a smurf.
The whole point is, to be able to show these low level games you need a low level MMR
It is smurfing
@@PiGstarcraft class
Love the channel...
Love the vid...
But you should be able to see the error of not starting with Protos 😆😆
Cheers from Denmark
thanks a lot!
if you box the drone, do only a empty drone build what u want or also a drone with holding a mineral?
I love your zerg videos on playing and teaching (im zerg player)
@22:00 How many injects can you queue up at once?
Thanks!
Ty so much Huy! Btw I just started a new Zerg B2GM focused more on lingbane styles over on my coaching channel if you wanna check it out: th-cam.com/video/A9m2VsBPPvQ/w-d-xo.html
