your live commentary about what you are doing, when, and why is so helpful for learning how to play better, thank you!
i’m a new player (only played wc3 as a 9yo) started playing like 2 months ago and i’m like 50mmr away from plat, i still die to 7 factory terran lol but so far been loving ur content :)
Taking the concepts of low APM challenge and just speeding up over time has helped me go from a platinum to medium diamond protoss. Even the Zerg and Terran videos help me improve my knowledge of the other races, their strengths, timings, weaknesses and breakpoints.
You did see it was a nydus in the 5th game when you flew the overseer in, you even selected it and saw it was a nydus but still said double evo chamber lol
Glad to see that Hybrid became playable now that we have zerg protoss.
Edit: the context is that the video first had protoss in the Title.
😂
Who are you, and how do you comment on every single sc2 video I've ever watched?
Its uncanny
@@Brungyslol if all the sc2 content you watch is only winter and some harstem, then its possible. However, I am just a very big fan of Winter’s starcraft 2 content and watch it on youtube since i cannot make it to his streams.
@@WolfGangDealers i see! Maybe its just every Winter video, and confirmation bias takes over.
Also youre name is familiar actually, did you ever used to do stuff with Destiny?
@@Brungyslol no i never played destiny, and even if i did, My account name on everything but TH-cam is WolfGangDealers
the apm challange inspired me to play a game of starcraft for the first time in like 10 years
1:06:00 Clicks, sees a Nydus, says "Double evo"
Thank u winter, i shall sleep now, wake up, and watch it all again cause i play zerg, bless
Edit: Now that i have rewatched after sleeping, why yes, u doing arcade games and other stuff sounds very exciting, and i do need more background noise for my other games, so i shall check out that other channel winter, i shall indeed!
I love your content. I'm a silver zerg and try to play consistently. Just took a hard L. You're keeping me in the game.
Do you still play?
I love this series. Thank you!
Been waiting for this .
The hardest race .
Depends on what league you are talking about. Platinum and diamond is full of "lost" zerg players that just stole the ladder points from players who don't know how to wall off against zergling floods, especially protoss since they don't have easy depots. Once that stops working, they just start to lose a lot.
This series has inspired me to pick up the game again and play later for the first time in years, thank you!
The problem with this is you can spike apm to deal with cheese or micro intensive situations that truely newer or slower players couldn't do. You could remedy this by switching hands, mouse in left keyboard on right. This way your going to have sloppy play and mis clicks like us metal leaguers , and decision making becomes paramount which is the whole point of this series
Hot damn. Not even 10 seconds in and I'd recognize the Hardspace: Shipbreaker soundtrack anywhere. You sir, are a man of culture.
SC2 chat keeps someone off? That's the only reason i stare at the menu 4 hours a day, it's hilarious
amazing series! I have learned so much from this!
Man, your videos awesome. I sleep at night and during day time and i already fell asleep 5 times during the video in 1 day!
Well done on the “dramatic emotional outro.” 😂
Protoss sure looks different
😅😅😊😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Love you and your content!!
Since this episode you are playing faster than me when I try really hard :)
Winter remaining calm in face of panic and drama is such an inspiration to play more Sc2, not because the fun of it but as a course in emotional intelligence. This is an ability Buddhist monks spends hundreds of hours in meditation to achieve, is it translatable to other areas of life? Winter repelling all sorts of toxic suggestion from twitch chat suggest it does. Remaining calm when challenged is some of the most valuable asset on can have in career and relationships as it creates enough space for the mind to make up a realistic assessment of what is actually going on, instead of fighting your own illusions as well as the reality you are facing!
For the upgrades question the default is upgrade weapons first except in specific match ups:
vs rine/rauder - carapace upgrade first, or else your units die b4 closing the gap
vs mutas- get armor first as it affects each bounce of the glaive attack
vs zealots heavy- get armor for lings to avoid getting 2 shot, otherwise ignore
The Low APM challange is the perfect example as to why good players are good. Not being they are faster, but because they know what they need to do.
A Bronze player with Maru lvl APM will still fail.
Kind of like the "Stupid faster" meme.
Bronze Player "Haha behold I have 1000 APM!"
Silver Player: "Does that mean you are a pro now?"
Bronze Player "No. I am bad faster. I make 15 Moves a second and all of them are wrong!"
Sound warning for being close to supply caped? Damn, this would have made Go0dy unstoppable xD
Thank youuuuuu!!!!
Can you do a dedicated guide for scouting? I've learned a lot on the Low APM Challenge, but scouting is not entering my little brain that well. One specific thing I struggle is when should I sacrifice an overlord for scouting.
I'm personally kinda dissapointed with the ammount of zvz in this vod. I am a diamond 3 zerg with a 75% winrate vs zerg, but a 35% winrate vs the other 2 races. This vod is more useful to my victims than it is to me!
35%? Sounds like you are going for rushes a lot and expect it to work exactly the same vs the other races.
@@Leonhart_93 I never rush vs terran or protoss. Big macro-virgin. Vs zerg I do the ling-bane pig suggests and then rush to mutas if I smell roaches. If I get ling bane muta on the field at all it’s usually gg. Lately ive had to rush towards muta even harder because everyone is doing winters roach shit now. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO FIGHT SO MANY ZERGS WINTER!
@@Leonhart_93 also ive almost achieved 40% vs terran by slowly forcing myself to learn hive-tech! Gotta cast them clouds!
@@tubesism Looks like you already know exactly where your problem is: macro and late game units. There are a lot of zergs like this in the platinum league, they got there by basically executing 12 pools and ling floods every game vs opponents (esp protoss) that didn't knew wall offs are a thing, but once everyone starts walling off which is around plat they get popped every time.
Then they have to learn to actually macro, but they will be behind the curve for a while.
I did watch the entire series
i just got back to starcraft and i peaked 79 apm of just mindlessly building lmao
taking 500 years to max out while my mind can only keep up until like 110 supply, after that my mind goes blank
Don’t worry, half the player base does that too.
Practice will make that better.
I got masters twice and it was really hard. I had a lot of luck too. It's even harder now.
That protoss in the first game is not a real diamond player. Probably plat 3 or gold 1.
Protoss can keep cheesing easily until they reach diamond 1. You can notice how he quits easily after the mutas reach the main.
Last time I played this game consistently I was plat 1 beating my head against the wall to diamond, but I never made it. Perhaps I'll dust off the old StarCraft account and get onto ladder.
Brood war low apm challange when?
You been lifting a bit Winter? You look good! 😁
As a zerg, should I attack interceptors or the carriers? I only watched the first episode yet (don't know whether the question is already asked)
Depends vastly on what you attack them with. With corruptors you should ALWAYS right click the carriers. With hyrdra you should a move the interceptors only on low carrier counts, like 4 or less. After that it is a sure way to lose the game.
What is the music playing in the background? I kinda like it and cant find it.
Finally. Does a spore crawler give vision invis vision when its unburied?
I don’t think so
it seems like some advice boils down to "get good, kiddo," which is fair enough, but how to practice things like caster usage, good habits, etc when i'm barely keeping up with my opponents? better to trust matchmaking, take the derank and work back up starting with sloppier opponents?
in the past, you have described your process to staying mindful revolved around watching replays and breaking down errors, which you would focus on during future matches. however, it may be several games before i get to a similar game state. what are your tips for identifying and working out bad habits during play? how would you suggest i make the most out of the games i play?
Watch your replays and consider what you were doing and why you did that.
If you lost the match what caused you to lose and how would you be able to prevent that going forward.
If you won the match, why did you win. Were you the better player, or did your opponent make a blunder that let you recover?
If your struggling against a certain strategy what can you do, within reason to look for it, identity it, and counter it.
If your in diamond you've probably seen most of the strategies players use by now. So it should be a matter of going into a game with a plan, and adapting that plan to your specific opponent.
@@epicfail5473 i'm unable to trust my judgement on those questions, since my rank did not go up simply by replay review. but then, i watch commentators and nod along like, "this person gets it, i'll just trust them," and it tends to really help my play. why? how does one develop that kind of understanding, and even extend it? how to make the most out of those replays, answer the questions you proposed, and trust the conclusions?
the times when the mechanics are off are easy calls, but in terms of decision-making it's not so easy to trust my determination of the error(s), though to many i'm sure that determination seems obvious. once you've come to a conclusion of "XYZ is why i won/lost," how do you test those conclusions and improve them, when the game state can differ so greatly between matches -- even by some miracle where you get the same map, races, and unit comps? what are the tools to pitch the unnecessary and focus on the critical (e.g. strategies, positioning, timing)?
the easy answer would be "play more games," but i'm interested in making the process efficient and directed.
@@slunchery If your reviewing your replays and find yourself unable to trust in your own judgement, ultimately the best answer is, as you said, "play more games"
All of the casters one might watch on TH-cam or Twitch have put in over thousands of hours of gametime, have played thousands of matches, and have reviewed a thousand more (more than that but I'm sure you get the point)
If you have the desire to do so you could send in one of your better matches (win or lose) to Winter and get yourself on an episode of Angry Coach. Or you could watch videos from that collection to see if the advice applies to your strategies as well.
In a game like Starcraft were there are so many things going on and so many factors that are all adding up to determine a match it can be difficult to know why certain outcomes occurred.
Maybe it's also worth considering what point of the ladder progression your comfortable staying around, obviously if we could all be in GM that's be great. But at the end of the day not everyone can be in GM and that's ok. As long as your still enjoying gaming.
@@epicfail5473 Thank you for the thoughtful response!
I'd like to get to a point where my mechanics are the weak link in my play. Until then, there's a great deal of room for improvement in the decision-making department.
What's his second channel? I don't see links anywhere.
I reached my maximum of 120 apm today at master3 with Z. I'm the living proof that you do not need apm to play well, you need apm for excellence
How did you change your colour to white ? O_o
How do you get SC1 sounds in SC2? o.o
winter pls i'm stuck in diamond 3, i need more
I’ve studied hard and gotten this far and I gotta say. I still don’t fully understand how zerg works
I like zerglings
I got promoted to Master 3 but the border now shows bronze 3 and says 0 min and 0 max MMR, is there a way i can fix this bug?
Leave league, replay a placement match.
@@TheMuffinman191 do i need to play just one or all 5?

@@TheMuffinman191 thank you, will try that :)
Wrong title winter
WinterStarcraft = Best Starcraft.
I Have seen all tosses go stright up charglots and scout the gold base there cheeky Players now and days i hate toss so much YEP LOOKS LIKE A REAL NA GAME RIGHT THERE I called it.
I actually find Zerg the easiest to play, then Protoss then Terran
I was bamboozled this ain't protoss
Hi shiba
1:23:32 me 😃
No more low apm challenges last year??
Make another account. MacroSalt run us through again please?
HANK THE TITLE IS WRONG!!!! HANK!!!!!

Lmao... "Pervert pillar"
I’ll say it again bronze league has no zergs because they all ranked up
