2023 Zerg Bronze to GM #1: For those New to SC2 and Bronze/Silver League (B2GM) - StarCraft 2

  • The 2023 version of my Zerg Bronze to GM series is here! In this episode, I teach a beginner build order for bronze and silver players, we talk about settings and hotkeys, and we play through a variety of opponents sourced from the community.
    BUT PIIIIIG HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT TO YOUR FIRST B2GM SERIES?
    The first Zerg B2GM series from 2021 STILL WORKS, this new series just teaches different builds and updates a few things. And this one is done by playing against viewers, not smurfing against ladder opponents.
    BUT PIIIIIIG WHY ARE YOU SMURFING AGAIN?
    The new B2GM series are against volunteers only, no ladder smurfing here.

    Thanks so much for the positive response gang! I've already noted some big things to prioritise covering in the next gold session: How to defend 1-base builds, proxies/12 pools (the fastest rushes possible) AND how to deal with pylon blocks/other obstructions disrupting our build.

Thanks for walking me through the fundamentals in an easy to understand way. It feels good to find content that focuses on the importance of fundamentals and building off of that to improve, like any other skill like playing music or sports. Love the channel!

    You've helped me so much. I've played Starcraft since I was 11 and it's nice to finally have guidance getting better at the game. The concept of a macro cycle was foreign to me. Me and my best friend bonded over this Brood War in 8th grade and we still play once or twice a week with your videos in hand to make us better about being 30+yo men enjoying game night.
    So maybe we're not going for GM, but thank you for helping us enjoy the game and not just feeling bad about losing all the time in Bronze.

    I was gold 3, but struggling to progress. I'm only half way through this video, but it's already tightened up my macro game enough to shoot me up a division after 3 or 4 games. I'm mostly just sticking with Ling bane so I can focus on the macro, and I generally have enough stuff to just overwhelm even with not the best composition.

    I was dabbling in Gold a few days ago, now I'm in Plat 1 and reckon I'll get diamond soon. All those fundamentals? Man, they eluded me. Macroing actually feels a lot less stressful now. Lots of cool tips that helped me a lot too. Like "take away and add to control group" being super duper useful, a dump key (I use ctrl+space to dump into grp0), making control groups out of eggs (!!! this one is HUGE I had no idea that's a thing lol), and also, I succesfully survived a BC rush. As soon as I saw the BC, queued queens on all hatches, 4 spores at the main where the BC was headed, and 2 spores at all other bases. Was really solid. Had a hitsquad of 6 queens to help me fend of the return with 3 BCs, losing 5 of those queens (3 to yamato) but then for the next return had corruptors and annihilated those BCs. I usually just panick when I see BCs. It went really smooth, you gave me the tools to deal with it :)
    Really appreciate the amount of matches, the repetition, it really helped me get those fundamentals ironed out which really helped me climb quickly. Can't wait to see what I'll learn in the next videos that are inevitably more advanced.

      Next episode will be gold league players and then plat the week after so we'll get to see vs all levels. The great thing about Starcraft is games are always very different based on how you and your opponent play. So none of these shows will ever show exactly what each person out there will experience on the ladder. The skills will carry over and easily blast you through these leagues if you apply them though :)

    Idk how I missed this. Couldn’t have come at a better time, currently using yours and vibes b2gm to make my way thru plat, and I must admit I was starting to get curious on how to use zerglings/banes and getting kinda sick of roach/hydra lol.

    I am just on the settings part, and didnt know that about the enhance pointer precision... that explains why my mouse feels so sluggish half the time whether for work or another game! I like fast moving mouse, but hate having to press the dpi button because then i cant see movements and it gets all jarbled. Disabling now feels so weird using the mouse lol but I am sure a couple days and I will be used to it, but so much prefer that off so thank you for teaching me something new about my computer that I won't just use in game but for work!
    side note, I use an 18 inch monitor, I hope to get a 24 inch at some point because I think that could be a good size.

      It's pretty hardcore nerdy setup that only works in in games that have super customisable hotkeys and modifiers (most games you can't use something like this). More info here: tl.net/forum/sc2-strategy/341878-thecore-advanced-keyboard-layout

    I've only been playing a 2 days, and I'm glad you brought up bench-marking because I'm having a hard time gauging how I'm actually doing.
    I was doing alright day 1, but today has been full of chaos / cheese. I got rushed with a stealth flying unit super early on one game, and they kept shredding my economy and it completely ruined any chance I had at getting my macro practice in. Guy ended up having 40 APM to my 120 and I still felt completely outpaced because I kept having to restart.
    A few games before that I also got cannon-rushed before my 2nd base even popped, so same thing.
    When scenarios like that happen, I feel even more lost than I already am, and it makes it really hard to judge if I'm doing anything right at all.
    Edit: Add widowmine marine rush to that list.

      Trial by fire! Sounds like a rough streak. Make sure you watch the replays and write a few dot points for each situation/new pressure you dealt with for you to follow next time you encounter it. SC has limitless tactics to screw with the opponent so slowly building experience with those situations will be really great. Make sure you hop in my Discord and share replays of any frustrating losses in the "Zerg Discussion" channel so we can help you out: discord.gg/SkhbzCM

    PiG, you're the man, thanks for sharing so much info with us bronzers and slivers. There's one thing I want to understand better if I may ask. I see a lot of 16 drone 2nd hatchery rather than 17. Just curious what info you have on why you are sticking with 17 drone second hatchery?

    • @PiGCoaching
      @PiGCoaching  Рік тому

      Drone scout loses us a lot of minerals so the pool will be quite delayed. If you don't drone scout 16 hatchery is better because it lines up perfectly so you can build 2 queens at the exact same time

    Love this series, man. You have really helped my play. Just out of curiosity....when going against a toss who goes straight air, so you make transitions to counter? I just had a game where the Toss made 5-6 VR's when I noticed that I started massing queens. Would there be another response? Luckily I had so many lings it was just too overwhelming for them.

    • @PiGCoaching
      @PiGCoaching  Рік тому +1

      queens is a great initial response. Mass air will beat queens eventually, but queens and spores can keep you safe and often just basetrading with lingbane will win you the game. Technically though transitioning into spire as you get higher level, and even eventually spellcasters once you're very high level are effective counters

    I know to some it doesnt sound impressive but ive had a 30 minute slog against the very hard AI in a ZvZ and i think i had 6 expansions going on at all times.
    I dont think that mentality of expanding wouldve been embedded more deeply if i didnt get the fundamentals down thanks to you sir.
    It was THE very first time ive beaten it and i am immensly proud.

    • @PiGCoaching

      I use a modified version of the Core+ that was manually set up for me by Jakatak himself way back 8 years ago. It requires me to use software to change what keys do on the modifier keys on my keyboard do. I don't share the file because it wouldn't make sense for anyone else to use it. The standard, modern versions of the Core can all be found on teamliquid and in the discord group for the Core is a great place to get help setting it up. That way you can find resources on setting it up or troubleshoot issues whereas that wouldn't work copying my setup

    While I'm still a bit shaky with this build and style, I've been having a lot more wins since watching this video and honestly ling play is just fun ;) (currently in plat)

    Diamond player here. A few of these basic concepts I don't use and can say I brute force most of my wins through intense micro and by never giving up. I haven't played since 2020 so I'll be relearning the game again with these good habits and hope to hit masters this time around. My biggest struggle in diamond was the Terran bio ball.

    • @PiGCoaching
      @PiGCoaching  Рік тому +1

      Eyy glad to hear you're relearning some stuff from scratch. Ling-bane with heavy macro is a pretty damn good base for excelling in ZvT vs bio so I hope it helps!
