My apm isn't the only thing that's challenged

The fact that this opens with a classic JIMMY ad-style opening makes me so happy.

Love you man, just found out you exist, you are the best sc2 content creator at the moment imo, not teaching mindless builds, but how to build, actually explaining why to do some things, love the thinking, your jokes and insights. + Not spamming camera hotkeys so I actually see what you are doing lol. Keep up!

I hit the "skip ad" button, but nothing happened. Just a 2 hour long ad of someone telling me how to play a video game :(

Happy to see this continue now that the league glitch has been fixed. Excited for some more zerg action

Hi winter! I’m a relatively new (1 year) Starcraft 2 player, I originally played Zerg but it was too hard so I switched to toss but the Low APM challenge made me switch back to Zerg because it let me give goals to focus on, thank you :)

Just wanted to say that your guides and angry coaching have inspired me to play until I get ladder anxiety. I’m now plat w/Terran and gold with Protoss and Zerg (comng from bronze/silver) love your stuff!! (I play every race don’t be mad at me)

Seeing the banelings as shields blew my mind. Thanks!

Love this series. Transferring from toss to zerg these have been very helpful

This is probably my favorite b2gm-like series. Thank you winter

Waited the Zerg for so long!

I will use this when I play my annual sc2 game in 8 months

These videos are great. Thank you sensei Winter.

32:20 BURN! I mean muthafuckin BURN! That shit was SO funny man. lol. Lowko the bomb, but it is really weird he still uses F2. XD

I have tried ling/bane comps so many times just to heavily bruise marauders and have to gg out when my army supply goes to 0. Thank you for that G2 Winter. Going to try that little piece of knowledge out asap

Nice @1:23:30 kekw Asalwaysthankyouforyourhardworkanddedication

Gotta love these, ZERG FTW

How do you handle mid game scouting? With your help I climbed to diamond but I struggle a lot in the midgame. I'm constantly busy splitting my army for multy grouped assaults, and sometimes it feels impossible to keep track of the medivacs, chargelots and warp prisms. And is there a quick and easy way to split your army other than haphazardly trying to drag a box over about half your units and praying that both sides receive about half of each unit type?

zvz is lower because of creep maybe. Also thank you for this series I would have never tried sc2 without it.

Winter: David the Old 40 y/o me: haha... oh

at 26:48 those are some weird looking roaches

My entire surprise and respect at the whole baneling move moment in the first game was wiped away by the fact twitch chat needed so much explaining for something so simple.

Idk if Winter is still picking out comments for the next one, but i have a question. How do you deal with Muta is Z v Z? Do u have to scout it, if so what timing can u expect, and is it then moota v moota or is there other options? Loving the vids, thx for ur time :)

these are amazingly helpful! I never really see people use the overlord creep gush with queens to spread creep fast... is that just some slow bronze league hero stuff? or do some pros actually use them in mass to cover the map?

Blue's hero unit: Carrier John the arrived 👽

Gatewayman is peak Protoss gameplay as far as I've seen

I love late game upgrades. Mutas are cool. Can we have a spire upgrade to make mutas better? More bounces or poison dmg

I have a couple of questions: -Is a gasless opener ever worth it? What changes of the early game do you have to keep in mind when you play gasless? And if you do play gasless, when should you eventually take your geysers? -If your game plan is the boring roach/hydra max out then attack, is it a better idea to max out as fast as you can and attack with only roach hydra, or wait another minute or so in order to attack with hive tech (vipers) as well?

"I don't want to make this whole video about LOcO" 😂

27:45 winter gaming admits that Zerg is the hardest race and Terran and Protoss are for a move babies

Small question when you use a drone holding minerals to build a building do you lose your 5 minerals or gain them? I've watched you far often then not build anything with minerals in hand.

wow how many times did you have to go over the ling bane micro because people not grasping, such a simple concept yet so powerful. Banes take hits instead of lings mean lings can fight for longer, once banes explode all damage is directed to lings. Tanks can potentially hit banes twice that are in melee range of marine marauder causing tank friendly fire splash damage, which is additional splash damage before bane explodes on death to cause even more splash damage meaning 1 baneling could effectively AOE 3 times (2 tank shots + explode on death) rather than once as soon as it touched an enemy unit.

Is transitioning into broodlords after 12 mins a sustainable strategy against p and t in the higher leagues?

The skip ad thing in the beginning got me 🙄

where can i find which units work against what units?

What’s the songs playing in the background?

What music is winter playing?

Winter never talks about double click. If you just double click a unit on the screen it selects all of that unit type on screen. Very good for lurkers because they are a big circle, easy to click. Not very good for like ghosts though, but all zerg casters are big. But even if you've got all your lings and banes on screen just double click in the middle of all the lings or all the banes and can split them however. This is also a less effective crutch than control groups but for those of us who will never be able to use more than 5-10 buttons and have to look at the keyboard to type, Just double click your casters. Of course if you don't have any other casters in your group it will always put lurkers on top so that's nice. But as soon as I throw in a viper or infester i just start double clicking my lurkers. I dnt type glhf because ide have to lift my hand. I set ALL my abilities to 5 buttons or shift variations of those 5 buttons. ALL my camera locations to 3 buttons on mouse or shift variations of them, and ALL my main buildings to the same 5 buttons. Can hang with diamonds when i cant even type without looking at keyboard with this strat and double clicking.

Winter pick 3 units from 1 race each to make a strong combo. Hydra+Medivac+Carrier = cancer c:

Hi Bionic Shiba!

Hey Winter! Thank you for continuing the series. Love it! Platinum Zerg here. I have a few questions. First, I was hoping you can give tips/stopping points on when to make/stop making units? Esp since gold and plat involves the enemy making some type of 1 or 2 base all in. I can defend mostly the initial push and after that either I make too few units or made too much it hurts my economy. I can defend the initial push because of the 1st ovi scouting if there's a natural or not so I have a general idea on how many units they're going to make but after they kill that ovi and u have to send follow up scouts, it's usually too late to react. And since we're here, is there a timing on when u send ovi/ling scouts? Like every 2 mins or so? Because sometimes u send scouts like that 2 overseer to check if that protoss have Stargates, but in one game, just seeing that marauder gave you the info that they are not doing the standard 1-1-1 since there are no hellions and u didn't need to send a follow-up scout since u have all the info u need. What exactly are we looking for in early/mid/late game against specific races? I know it has to do with 12 years of playing but if u can make some general scouting points/guides that would be great since I feel like I'm losing my games because of information gathering/lack thereof as every score screen I have usually indicates I do better than the other side except build the right units/upgrades at the right time. I hope you can structure a future low apm zerg guide around scouting as well since u said on the Serral vs. MaxPax video that it's important for Step 1. Find out what's up, Step 2. Find out what's next. And you always say that the difference between a Plat player to a Master Player is that a Plat player builds an army, loses it, then builds the right army/gets the right upgrades afterwards. I would like to skip that losing army part if that's okay 😆😆😆 Which leads me to the next question, do u also take upgrades whenever there's aggression? Why/why not? I ask this because in that muta dogfight that you are having, you researched flying carapace which completely won u the game because ur mutas lasted longer than his. There's also the baneling speed +health and carapace upgrade that made the banelings survive tank shots that won u the other game as well. Are there any game changing upgrades that we need to keep in mind during mid fights/early aggression like that? Lastly, how do you determine if u need static defense for the pushes? I see u sometimes make static defenses early/mid/late game and sometimes u don't. Hope u can give some stopping points/tips to remember on when to build/stop building units/static d's. Thank you!!!

PROLONGED EYE CONTACT PROLONGED EYE CONTACT

id rather you go 10-20 over your apm limit and do the things you need and explain them than you just skipping steps because you need to fit the apm

Oh and btw, hi Bionic Shiba.

i have 100 apm with zerg and 50 apm with protoss and terran.

Yo dawg

Winter, can you focus more on keeping lower APM in every moment of the game? The average person has one ovary and one testicle. Doing Dia2+ actions here and there, and then leaving the keyboard and mouse for 1 minute explaining why APM is not as important is a bit confusing. Or maybe do some commentary to your current actions if getting hot, like 20:45: in my opinion on Plat3 you should lose all the army, I cannot pull such control off in Dia3. Actually you did some commentary when adding banes in zvt to the menu :-) (39:30)

It's unfair that ravagers anounce where the shots will land. Tanks don't show the target area, widow mines either, give the zerg something other than just a "back off a little"

And they never have to do anything else and in that case you can just use corruptors aswell

Is Jimmy an agent from CIA recruiting?

Hi shiba

Hi Sheba.

Why can't I press the skip ad button??!

vipers require high apm so low apm players like me simply doesnt use them, its mass corruptors and offensive spores with overlord creep for me and i build nydus network to everybases instead of spreading creep late game. Will even use proxy nydus with defense spores around it on enemy side of map on a depleted base that id destroy just before building the nydus worm so i can reinforce fast or return their to defend home instead of slow walking accross the map.

9:19 "i use all of em" how come ive never seen you use the arrow keys then? smh my head

I defeated a bunch of master lvl players with 40 apm and 4 times more dead marines then every units my oppenents made. I learned this play style from playing vs AI Elite and beating it with pure maccro. Turns out most master lvl players cant beat the elite difficulty ai because they build army too early or too late.

Hi Shiba o/

Dude your like Artosis sometimes! “He keeps attacking even though I have more mutas which is throwing me off.” Then you let his mutas attack twice more before you finally use them properly to punish him for doing the wrong thing and like half your mutas get caught on the roaches. Artosis is the same way “oh oh not proper not proper you can’t win with that, you can’t play game like that” It’s like he’s so flustered his opponent doesn’t play the vidya game the way pro players do his brain shuts off. For you yes a 5800 player might not put his mutas in a spot where you can punish them this platinum player does. And neither him nor his audience will learn why it’s bad if you just sit their slack jawed complaining he’s playing it wrong rather than showing us and killing the damn mutas. See the platinum player is like a dog, unless you use rewards and discipline it’s gonna keep pissing on your rug while you sit there complain. Artosis for explain whole house smells like piss and unabated rage.

diet ultralisk is in the game. it's called a zergling. lots of them fit in mineral line.

1:14:00 So... Terran DOES have it easier

hi shiba no ban plz

someone played hon ;)

moar pls )

Commenting...

Skip add button not worky

Why can't I skip this annoying ad?!!

banelings are still broken...nothing else is more powerful that can instant delete a terran army or base.
