2023 Zerg Bronze to GM #3: Platinum League - Spread Creep & Scout (B2GM) | StarCraft 2

[@johnbennett6700]

I played my first 5 ranked matches today. I got smoked 4 times then won via instant surrender. Got placed strait in gold, I'm a beast baby.

[@PiGCoaching]

eyooo! Welcome to the ladder! Remember the more you lose the lower your opponents = the more chance of fair matches! It usually takes about 15 games to give you SUPER accurate/fair matches

[@johnbennett6700]

@@PiGCoaching Update: I've gotten to the point where I can smoke people in low gold and high silver. I switched to the build order you did in your previous bronze to gm. I realized I wasn't good enough to drone up 3 bases and defend from early pressure, and zergling baneling seems harder to micro. I attack move my roaches and ravagers across the map with their 3 upgrades and keep macroing and sending more works every time.

[@ENZ2103]

@@josh198599 That isn't true. I used an easy AI to practice the build orders without being rushed. I also used AI to practice spreading creep and injecting without having to deal with a random BC proxy throwing off my attention. I went from Silver 1 to Diamond 3 in a reasonable span of time on the ladder because I followed PiG's guide and built fundamentals against AI.

[@josh198599]

@@ENZ2103its funny you mention this because the reason i typed that comment is PRECISELY because if you practice against AI, you will most likely plateau once you hit D3. Well done for your fast rise, but, understand that D3 is when you actually START learning to play the actual game of SC2. My advice to you is to stop playing against the AI and only ladder from here on in. But its up to you man, as long as you're having fun , just do do

It's really quite humbling seeing you play and maintain such composure. With the amount of harass I was putting out game 10, you were still so organized. Learned a ton from this game. Still glad I could shock you like that with the e-bay block. You can thank Relm for the idea :P He gave me some tips :)

Hooooo leeeeeeee crap. I tried your ling bane, it works so good at gold/plat it's unreal lol. Getting a better and it's because of breakdowns like this I can play confidently and not be stressed out in game, or while losing. I was hardstuck gold/plat for almost a decade and hit diamond for my second time, and I'm only getting better as my understanding grows. Thank you so much for all the instructionals you do

[@cognitiaquest8311]

Not sure if you'll see this comment, but I gotta say thanks for putting this out. I've always watched sc2 (as a dota player) and thought it seemed impossible to play, especially the ling bane style. But after seeing this, I decided to try it out and using this series and the previous B2GM, I managed to hit plat on my 21st ladder game. LING BANE IS SO MUCH FUN!! I feel it gives way more options and potential for comeback vs having a clumped up ball of roaches. I also had a very similar turtle terran on the same map so copy pasted your "jump up to 90 drones and get some ultras' technique and it worked extremely well even though I did let him get his third base. I don't think Ive ever enjoyed a video game more than sc2 and thats from someone with like 3k hours in dota and thats all thanks to your phenomenal coaching!

Stick with it, brochacho. This game gets pretty frustrating sometimes, so when you lose a game that felt unfair or stupid, force yourself to watch the replay and look for one thing you did well and one thing you didn’t do well. That is one of the best ways to enjoy the game when you lose!

I really liked in this series how you slowed down both your reactions and your mechanics, and even made some classic mistakes to get down to … not a real plat, but a level of play I could relate to. Feel like in the last game in particular - I feel like I’ll be hit with a situation that feels so chaotic, and it’s cool to see you take a situation that is definitely not ideal and apply some systems and get out of it!

Great video. Got some very helpful tips and my APMs up around 125-135. Very awesome videos keepem coming.

[@HurrisonTea]

love the build for it's ability to attack different places and bypass the enemy army. Nice to notice, though, that with Vibe b2gm plat build it's possuble to have 200 limit of upgraded roach+hydra at 9.00, which feels stronger, than ling+bane (so I'd recommend to also build good habits from his channel too). Love the way, the PiG explains build orders in a way "when this is finished -> do this". I found it really helpful to play around 5 games vs AI, following PIG build. Like 1: I watch 1 PIG game 2: I play 1 game vs AI trying to follow 3: go to 1 Very helpful to clarify forgotten points. Thanks for the great job! (won some games in plat with the tacric from the 2023 pig gold video only)

[@gisten7818]

Hey! Just started laddering a month ago, and thanks to your new zerg B2GM series just got to platinum. You made a really good decision basing it on Ling Bane, this build is SO much fun to play and feels really satisfying. I know you might do it anyways, and you have reserves with smurfing, but I think it would be really cool if you did a new more macro focused Protoss B2GM, because while I am learning protoss, I struggle trying to transition off of 2 bases. Even when I tell myself before the game "I'm not just going to do a 2 base all in, I'm going to go for a more macro heavy game" I end up just doing a 2 base all in because it just works and it's really hard to break that habit.

[@Dawindell]

Remember that this (and the now-new Terran B2GM) is against volunteers of the appropriate MMR, he's not actually going on the ladder so no worries about smurfing :).

[@captain3413]

Thanks for the series! Been very useful! Still, I've a question about countering Protos mass air units army. It's so hard to deal with even if you spot this strat early on. The best way I've found is doing a mass base-trade cuz it turns out that mass ling-bane army is better at destroying buildings than mass Protos air army.

[@PiGCasts]

100% basetrading off a giant economy is usually a great way to play it with ling-bane. If they're heavy on carriers a mass round of corruptors to snipe them can work really well

Got called a maphacker today, for using the zergling natural scout and ovie sacrifice saw tons of halberds. He did not expand, so I up my zerglinhs count and morph Bane immediately after I saw the halberds. He's in total denial, that his timing was countered so well. Literally wiped his halberds in seconds. My mistake which lost me the game was entertaining his shit talk, felt he was just trying to distract me, and yep he overwhelmed me with his next push. From now onwards, just going to keep my focus until they are burnt to the ground. 😂 P.S. Terran used to be the bane of my existence, but this build really allow me to crush them. Thanks!

[@passyourielts]

I don't know what happened. I used to crush Terrans as Zerg. 55-65%. It was my best matchup. I've hit Plat 2 Korean server and its dropped to 35%. I can still win on a roach cheese or when a gold pops up, but standard macro games I'm getting crushed. I just don't have enough to cover the first drop, or first marine/mine/tank push. I can't get decent engagements with my ling/bane... I just never seem to have enough. Keep dying at the 10 minute mark. Terrans used to just do the same thing, but now they keep switching it up with mech / cruiser etc. Maybe Terrans are just better now.

[@PiGCoaching]

Just sounds like a hard streak of the ladder where things are catching you off guard. We all hit these and it's important to not focus on big things like "man i suck vs terran right now" - though we all feel that way sometimes lol! Instead try to focus on things you can control. Look at the replays and watch what's throwing you off, damaging you and putting you in deep waters. Usually Korean players are very good at attacking and disrupting their opponents, so learning responses for their harassment and attacks is really important. Gl mate!

[@passyourielts]

@@PiGCoaching I watch Scarlett and Serral make Queens OP. Dark to a more chaotic extent. They shut down early drops and hellbat timings like nothing.

This strat almost works too well lol. I was able to make it to plat in ~half the games I played protoss, where I'm still only gold (I get killed a lot by harassment and rushes as protoss)

[@Noname86-k6x]

I know this is kinda "old" video but around 2:43 in ZVZ when your opponent rushes with ling/bane "all-in", is there a reason why you place sunken on your natural in the "open" as opposed to right next to hatchery? Like I would think placing sunken right next to hatch prevents lings from surrounding it. Or is this just more playstyle stuff?

[@PiGCoaching]

For timestamps on KZbin just write the actual time in the YT video to easily link where you're talking about. The spot you meant to mark was: 2:33:30 The reason I built it there is I'm planning to defend my ramp and that way it's closer to the ramp and can be moved to my natural faster. If you're more worried about just surviving you can build it in the middle of your mineral line and it's a little safer. In this case I already built the safe spine in the main mineral line and this second one is to try and secure the area towards the natural expansion

[@ScandinavianHandcraft]

ZVZ Build: When you build the 17 drone for the pool, i have 1 extra larva im not using, because of waiting for the pool. Is that correct? Also I tend to have a lot of money and want to build extra hatchery in base is that fine or am I doing something wrong?

[@Noname86-k6x]

is it wrong to pull workers who are mining in the beginning to build pool/gas when your doing build orders like 17 hatch/18 gas/17 pool? Or do you que your drones in production to build the buildings instead?

[@PiGCoaching]

if you can time it out to have a drone that just popped out before you have the money doing it that's optimal, but it's totally fine to pull workers off mining to build structures. Usually I'd use one that's just dropped off a load of minerals

Then what is the biggest difference between 4500 and 5500 MMR and then whats the difference between 5500 and 6500 MMR and then whats the difference between 6500 and 7500 MMR? Would love to know your thoughts, thank you in advance

[@IAI060]

I definitely don't want to speak for Pig, but I do believe the answer to all those is 1000 MMR

[@PiGCasts]

Different for every single player. SC has so much range you can play such a wide variety of strategies. Essentially it's just more and more details that get added with each leap. You still might have someone suck really bad at macro but if they made it to 6k mmr with cannon rush only, they're going to have an insane level of DETAILS figured out for that style

[@BaraPersson]

How come in game 3 you dont do the zergling/baneling game plan?

[@PiGCoaching]

We've swapped to this plan for ZvZ. Mirror matches are the most different from the other matchups so it makes sense the first matchup to learn a specific build order for will be your mirror matchup. In this case it's just a gasless 2-base roach build that avoids the ling bane war that usually decides ZvZ. If you prefer to learn the fast paced ling-bane ZvZ I start teaching that in my previous B2GM from here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKa2eplnltKBjK8

32:00 I have one doubt: at this point you have absolutely no detection. I have no confidence in just reacting after I see Dts... Although you're obviously confident in your timed reaction, I don't think it's realistic for us merely mortals... lol. Is it too expensive in making detection whatever or should I just get good and making detection if absolutely necessary?

[@PiGCasts]

You can't always be safe vs everything at once or you're playing too paranoid. There'll naturally be things you run into a lot that I don't at all here, and if you want you can definitely throw some spores down at a set timing. In my experience DTs are very rare in ZvP so I wasn't even thinking about it. At the end of the day if DTs only hit you 1/20 games it's worth just skipping detection every game and copping the rare loss to being surprised. On the other hand if you play against DTs 3/5 games - start building spores every game! The meta shifts so if something is getting popular it's probably because pros or a content creator were using a certain strategy, and it'll spread through the ladder - so well worth responding to these patterns as you experience them.

[@Mizi63]

@PiG Casts Wow, thanks for the reply. Now you just made me think something really new for me: metagame! I mean, yeah, it makes sense think about a strategy not for only one game, but for a set of several games and even paying the price of losing some of them, if you end up winning a bunch more.

Nice series, but I don't understand the purpose behind "you guys always make this strategic mistake, so I will too." I understand playing at lower APM or inserting a delay into a reaction, fair enough. But making bad plays seems like the antithesis of a coaching series. After all, people watch these to learn to play better...

To show how to respond from a common situation players find themselves in. If I play too perfectly players will never see how I recover from bad situations, and that's just as valuable as anything else. I only purposefully make mistakes/misplays very occasionally.

What's your actual MMR and that of your opponents? You do get occasional mismatches but ladder is incredible accurate in how it matches. There are rare cases where you get a 600+ mmr difference, especially if you play in the middle of the night or in a very isolated part of the world, but usually the opponents should be around your MMR. Keep in mind people often have achieved a much higher rank in teamgames than 1v1, or used to be higher in a much older version of the game and aren't so high anymore
