Ty so much PiG for not giving up on this B2GM series. I was so afraid it was going to stop around Diamond because people were complaining about it’s content. My friends and I have been practicing every day since I showed them this series as an good way to get back into sc2. Keep up the great work and all the great content across all 3 channels (got them watching there too now) 👍👍

cheers mate!

@@PiGCoachingYou just have a new viewer! Thanks for the tutorial. It is really needed.

[@RemyDAgostino]

This is always my favourite part of B2GM. Watching high level play first person with explanation is a fascinating spectacle. Thanks Pig!

[@jemandvondort1585]

I watched all the videos of the series on normal speed, went back to certain builds and read your notes. I can not tell how much value you've provided for free here. The structure, the mood, the commentary and style is simply amazing. I already subscribed in hope for more content like this. Keep up the good work!

[@PiGCoaching]

glad it helped you out mate, thnx for the kind comment

Been playing since 2010 and made Masters for the first time ever this past weekend. 7,500 ladder games. A decade of GSL vods, watching Heromarine, Clem, TY, and Maru vods/streams, and youre B2GM along with Vibe' has helped me a ton. Im now a Masters NA Bio macro Terran player who averages 160-180 apm. FEELS GOOD. I went and got some Liquor when I got promoted. THANKS YALL

[@ryanyoung8029]

Would love an explanation of how you use ghosts with other bio. Whether you put them on different control groups, or a quick way to scroll between different units so that you can micro, stim and also emp or snipe efficiently.

[@bigprank3964]

You put bio and ghosts into the same control group, let's say on the 2 key When you press 2, you can emp and snipe When you press 2 and tab, you can stim

[@Terracronz]

Mouse has 2 thumb buttons, map one to tab and the other to tab+shift, that makes it much much easier to tab through abilities during fights

Wow this guide is kinda insane. thank you very much. Bronse 3 to plat 3 in a week wow.

[@PiGCoaching]

dude that's massive progress, well done!

[@daBulgarian]

Watched so much gold/plat/diamond b2gm, thought I'd give this bracket a little looksie, and holy crap you guys are so good it's kinda gross xD What mostly hit me was how calm you remain in seemingly losing positions you still try to salvage as much as you can and can actually give yourself a little bit of a chance to come back. Very inspiring to not give up so easily. Awesome series!

[@PiGCoaching]

thanks mate!

[@terrarist_sc2]

Thank you very much for your effort. I am a German Terran player and I am more than happy that you made the effort. The guide is perfect and I can learn a lot from it Thank you very much 🤩👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks for still doing guides for people who wants to be better!

[@JulzMicMan]

Your 2nd game (TvZ) was so much fun to watch. Thank you for making these videos!!!

[@_pha.ra.onic_]

What production can I afford on 4-bases' saturated, in a Match-up like this, a an 'Angry Terram' going all-out "Bunker-Macro"?

[@_pha.ra.onic_]

My Friends call me pha.RA.onic, My enemies RA!

[@PiGCoaching]

Not exactly sure what bunker macro is, I imagine you mean you're playing very defensively and turtling up?. 3 base production is 8-rax, 2 factories, 1 starport. On 4 bases forwards normally you can just maintain the same production as your bases do mine out pretty rapidly. However if you want you can choose to add a few extra starports for a liberator/raven transition, or 3 more barracks for even more bio production. Generally you could just stay on 8-rax the whole time though

[@defendermd2991]

1:24:15 forgot to build deppo = gg (Terran Life). Meanwhile Enemy can do 10000000 mistakes and win. Balance in all things (Geib Newell).

If you face the cannon rush against into tempest. Go for thors with scv repair, you can just a move everything he has with shield battery with that.

[@kjwong4730]

Those games vs Protoss looks a lot like my games vs Protoss on ladder, i usually get decimated my mass zealots early game and DT run by mid to late game or just straight up loose to a carrier transition. It’s good to see how a high level player deals with Protoss, I learned a lot from it even if they were losses

[@PiGCoaching]

cheers man, yeah I was definitely having some rough earlygames and was a bit distracted this day. Honing in on improving that earlygame and really nailing it down is so huge. If you give up the early momentum it can be a slippery slope

[@cammac7659]

Hey Pig, Amazing series! just like the 2021 ones, i was happy to see you were doing another series. Now my most important question: When does protoss start?! Cant wait!

"once you get to Masters and GM you're gonna play with the same players a lot" Pig I love the fact that you're, even pretending, taking it for granted xD

[@tianchenglu]

thank you for doing the taching !!!

[@L76_Official]

If you go for the response without vikings against colossus and try to multiprong instead, can you still go for that if they went pheonix colossus? I’m guessing it depends on if they have pheonix left or perhaps where they are positioned when attempting the drops?

[@PiGCoaching]

yeah it can definitely work, it's just very dangerous. If you catch them out of position it can be god-tier. Usually you do a lot of threatening even when you're not planning to attack, and just killing observers/map vision so they're as blind as possible before committing to any big drops + diving the front at the same time

[@seaofmemes8796]

Hey pig I haven’t watched your full series yet, I’m just on the third vid. But I wanted to comment here since it is a newer video and people might respond more. I keep 1v1ing my friend who is using your Zerg build order. At the 8 min mark we collide and his banelings and Zerg overwhelm my army and destroy it. I’ve tried to split but he just has so much more troops. And even if I beat him the first time he is making 100 more zerglings by the minute. How do I stop this strategy?

[@lindalobstadefenda]

thank you for these Pig :)

[@MEFJOT]

Hello, Im not in a timezone to watch live ur streams I have a question about droping MULES. It looks like you drop it without clicking on minerals. I watched a lot of ur terran videos but never saw You explaning it, is there any trick behind it or You just do it so fast i cant see it ? Thanks for this content help me get in to this game, Im pretty new but already sometimes I beat my friends playing it way longer, peace!

[@PiGCoaching]

I click on the minerals and try to click just 1 on each mineral patch, I just click fast is all. Glad to hear you're improving mate!

[@Gungrave879]

Hello PIG. Recently I started watching your videos. Very informative, I learned a lot at the initial level. But I have such a problem. When the battle drags on, I can't adapt to the situation. Can you recommend something?

[@PiGCoaching]

Join my Discord community! discord.gg/SkhbzCM - post a replay in the "Terran/Zerg/Protoss Discussion" channel with some self analysis of what you think you could do better. Great community helping each other out over there. I randomly do free replay analysis myself in those channels as well

[@Framidan]

The game against protoss at the 1:18:00 is the perfect example why i can't get over diamond 3, you made one mistake and you loss, toss have too many cheese and tools to destroy terrans.

[@PiGCoaching]

Games like this are SUPER frustrating. But it all came back to my completely botching my opening. Forgetting 2nd depot led to me not being able to defend the early adept pressure and everything else following apart. You can't get away with that in high masters to GM. This was a HUGE mistake that led into difficult situations following it that I failed to navigate properly

[@slavickskromul281]

I been playing this game for a week, and I'm a StarCraft 2 player, my first impression of the game and why I like it, is be be because it is based on skill... Not luck ... You have have to take into consideration that this game isn't it about pro players, there should be a way not to just balance it... But it has to be the same on both, pretty much the same, there should Aim assit on controller and mnk, or there shouldn't be no Aim assist at all.. Blizzard abandoned StarCraft 2 almost 2 years and StarCraft 1 11 years( SC1 is a 24 year old game) ago and it is still the greatest strategy game of all time... You guys should form a balance council, your so called Doves... Do not care about this.. all they care about is how to sell skins and other bs... Just the way you guys arranged this video and talked everything through, since you have experience and knowledge for the game.,.. The only way this aim assist and cheats hacks macros can be fix is by you kicking Respawn in the ass, Money from mnk or controller players is the same to them. Just don't focus only on pro players, don't forget average Joes like me, that constantly get dropped in any up close fight and find it almost impossible to 1 clip someone and avoid using CAR... Because for a none experienced Mnk player that weapon is just impossible to use lol... Maybe some Aiming macros should be allowed to a certain point ... without being super over powered. Last time I used a controller was on PlayStation 1, Yes I'm a dinosaur, I'll give a controller try.. but you have to realize that with out new players in the game your devs will not be making money... And the game will be ditched... Hopefully it is as good of a game as StarCraft to keep going since 1998.. Stop hating on people. If some plays Apex on a console doesn't make them a bad person, but sure makes you a dick head for assuming so because of some aim assist! After all mnk or console we all love Apex : )

[@GioFettuccine]

I'm just saying, do you understand how hard it is to get the grandmaster?

[@AntonioLopez-kw3ev]

I got GM finally took 2 years but without coaching if I had coaching it would have taken less than a year and allot less frustration learning everything on my own .
