Pig, i think its pretty amazing to see you and other streamers that can manage to get to grandmaster with all 3 races. It takes alot of skills and time to do that.

[@wunderbiersvideosfolder3839]

Hey PIG, I just want to shout out how good your videos are. Im still focusing on the basic build with the immortal archon chargelots army, didnt even step into the sentry/colossi army and I already reached 3k mmr (diamond i guess?). The early reactions are still the hardest thing for me, and my winrate agaisnt any kind of proxy/rush is pretty much zero as my mental apm just gets melted during these mega agressions. Altough Im kinda lost about when should I be progressing on your steps because Im still using a "silver" build but already playing agaisnt "diamond" enemies, Im having so much fun and I can feel myself being able to improve thanks to you.

[@loudaccord]

That's hilarious... I'm trying out T builds, 2nd game was me (Oogabooga) :) That was about as greedy as I could have gotten

[@patricelapointe4692]

Hello Pig! Awesome stuff!!! I used to play Broodwar a lot back in the days (old timer here!). Never really had the time to dive into Sc2 after WoL (made it to diamond back then) but now that my kids are getting older I have time for it once again. Your guides are awesome! Almost made it to gold league in less than a week after being inactive in the game for a good 10 years, thanks to you!

[@aussiecara4334]

I have waited so long for the B2GM for Protoss players! I am glad that it is now here.

[@slgaming7115]

it takes another level to skill to explain the way you do it while playing and maintaining a health economy , gj im getting back into the game thanks to your teachings ;)

[@raccoonduck5406]

This series is so good, I got to gold 2, first week of playing SC2 multiplayer, ever. Thanks mate!

[@Broformist]

Thank you for this man. While overall I find this race to be the easiest to play, there is one thing about it that I always found the hardest and that's surviving early game pushes. This is already helping me make my early game less derpy. I also never bothered learning Colossus Sentry pushes until I watched this. Now I'm writting this after winning a whole bunch of games in a row with that push, so yeah, good stuff. You are the best of all smurfs!

[@DrDave-cp8vq]

Game 2 of this video was probably one of the most interesting shifts I've seen so far as a silver noob. Shows how valuable early scouting can be if your opp tries to hop up the build ladder too fast. Thanks for doing these PiG! These videos are great.

[@maxmustermann8985]

love the series pig ! i just started after years i was a zerg diamond 2 and siwtched to protoss now. ur realy doing a great job to explain all details but keeping it simple at the same time. like u said u can be prepared for everything but just following ur build order i got out of silver 2 to gold one in just 1 day. i appreciate what ur doing keep on the good work. finnaly u got my abo u rly deserve it and as i see those build u shown have such much space for improvement they just a rly good startin position

[@itsKeeN]

that rapid warp in is a game changer. so awesome spawning in 15 stalkers in 1 second

[@sentinelwex]

Yes, yes! The hype, omg. :D Thanks for this!

[@HavannaIce]

Great content as always. Very helpful!!

[@estebanisswimming]

Love the series! Hope you continue next year

[@PiGCoaching]

Cheers estabanisswimming, thanks so much for the love! I've finished the B2GM series for each race and now starting my Beginner to Advanced guides. Hope you enjoy them too

[@Siddhartha13]

I love your videos man. You helped me improve by a lot. Thanks dude.

[@verdibyrd]

thanks for this sieres! it gave me the confidence to finally dive into 1v1 games and within a week i had a 6 game win streak and am now winning most games against gold 1 players, i have a lot of experience in other rts but untill i saw your coaching guides sc2 always intimidated me with its speed and complexity so i just played vs AI and watched others play, now i am finally a legit sc2 player in my own right and looking forward to climbing the ladder, all thanks to you, see you in GM xD

[@mrvashbrazil]

Passing by to say that your method is amazing, I feel even better today because I won 4 and lost 1 (sometimes I forget the enemy's second base or some other point and then I caught a carrier on the side ;-;).

[@AdrianCM]

Any chance you'll be posting the next video in this series? I can't wait ! I'm stuck on platinum 3 with this current strategy hehe. This sentry / colossus build is reeeaaally funn !

[@trainwr3ckzz832]

I really enjoy the rimworld music in the background, love ya pig!

[@bastooo3]

@50:58 - so true for me.. :D I love the small details and micro, any my mouse accuracy is pretty damn good, but strategically I lose so many (already won) games, especially under pressure. Even if my macro is better. I guess I just don't have that war-gene :p

[@jaeger8652]

Thanks for this series!

[@MadArtillery]

It's interesting how much I started winning even horribly botching the build order, missing timings, and just in general being a noob. Dedicating to an attack timing really is all the difference.

[@AndrewLuhring]

i will say its a fun exercise to try to max out by 10 minutes with 72 workers, no cannons, and at least +1. winterstarcrafts 3 base build is good for learning thru at least silver 1 but ive definitely seen more success with pigs build so far.

[@SacredScrollsYT]

GG! Nice video

[@KulaGGin]

4:03 in 2023 people are doing adept harass in plat3 in my experience. Gotta jump on them with my 2 stalkers. They manage to kill 5 probes before I kill those adepts with my stalkers. Same with oracle harasses: starts at around gold1-plat3.

[@NoExcuseFit]

Hey PiG! Love the videos. It's absolutely changed my game! Quick question though on the Gold build...what is the best way to break into a Terran base that has walled off with siege tanks at the front. I seem to lose WAYYY to many units trying to break in. The siege tanks murder me. Tips?

[@klydefrosch4721]

Thanks for the content

[@divinegamer2062]

I'm a year late but this build still hits like a mach truck. I was 0-7 on the ladder before using this now I'm destroying people only lost so far was against a protoss using the same build.

[@LucasNarRam]

this is what i've been waiting for ... oh yes!

[@papa.funcake]

Best SC2 teacher ever. Teaching how to build muscle and perform good habits. Before that I though SC2 was forbidden for normal mortals.. cute, but normals..

[@Michael-ib6ky]

Random B2GM when?

[@saintmikeyg3417]

I live by Day9's coaching advice to this day. Goddamn I miss that guy in SC2. Sean we love you

[@lfgamble3924]

U have some specific day9 videos u can link right here? Not to like turn heads away from pig. But for the people to get stronger. I like day9 also. Ive wathced alot of his stuff.

[@ooSHINIES]

@@lfgamble3924 I don't really have specific videos but his day9 daily show was educational

[@BananaJoe210]

1:02:55 so after the latest patch i can now let 1 space open by a wall off at the main?

[@grafmontefausto4620]

best sc2 content on youtube by far

[@CPeyser08]

Can we add the sentry colossus stalker build order to the google doc? Thanks!

[@ekspert12340]

You could make a video on how to counter different opponent combs :)

Can someone explaine me since I am a bot in this game what is this symbol on the ground next to nexus ?

10:20 Smurf punishes a smurf for stream-sniping against a smurf. Nice :P

[@YokeRoel]

Danke!

[@PiGCoaching]

Thanks so much for the tip @YokeRoel! Much appreciated mate

[@calebhodges9028]

So following the build, have my scout out and know I’m getting proxie 2rax by the Terran player but I still can’t deal with it, how do I adapt and deal with that early army?

[@calebhodges9028]

I’m still winning most games and even when the first attack doesn’t work I’m expanding getting upgraded and adapting to the army, it’s just those early armies I don’t know how to deal with

[@danielmahmoudi6731]

Same lol

[@notmylegalnameanymore431]

@@calebhodges9028 read the document, it details what to do against proxies

[@cctr0264]

Did he explain why we should wall off the main base against protoss only ? And why it is the natural against terran or zerg?

[@theneotony]

Widow mines have been destroying me, it's kinda crazy.

[@Rookie2171]

Been watching your content recently and trying to get better at SC2. I was gold like years ago. If Pig or anyone could help, what was the reasons you would want to do a walloff at your main compared to the natural? I know for walling off is to prevent zerglings flooding into the base but what is the difference between the former and latter? Thank you in advance!

[@PiGCoaching]

It's easier to fall back to the highground in desperate situations, but then securing the expansion later is harder. At high level we always take the lowground immediately vs zerg, and highground vs Protoss + wherever vs Terran (sometimes walling the reaper ledge). The Highground walloff is safer in PvP since there's so many scary 1-base builds that can kill you. It also makes it easy to full wall temporarily to block adepts getting into your base

[@dabbs82]

Hey pig love ur content! I picked StarCraft back up bc of u! I do have a quick question. How many hot keys do you recommend to have available for Protoss army? I say available bc I know when u are in the lower league u will need less and as you advance u could need more. I don’t want to practice with 3 when I should be preparing for 4. Thanks!

[@PiGCoaching]

There's top tier players that rarely use more than 2 army hotkeys, occasionally 3. It's a very personal thing. As long as you have room to learn more keys later you'll be totally fine. Ideally you'll have 5-6 keys all within easy reach. But you just need to become very good at using 3 hotkeys to start and you're way ahead of 98% of the playerbase

[@dabbs82]

@@PiGCoaching thank you!

[@Floxxoror]

So I did the silver league buildstyle. Dia 3 now 😀

[@PiGCoaching]

Oh heck yeah! Congrats dude

Never played StarCraft ever, tried PiG's build and calibrated at gold 1 lol

finally

[@marlonhg1584]

that first adept in his corner of shame is probably the perfect depiction of a goldplayer "trying something new"

[@nikiss8]

gg. could have played with chat bronze to gm. it would be such great xp for everyone and more enjoyable than smurfing

[@Zutraxi]

Some education needs to be theory based. Others needs to meet the student in the middle to bridge the gap. This is that type of content. Games can be very confusing. But seeing situations handled in a calm reasonable manner makes it easier to learn from. Having the knowledge applied in front of you on a level you understand is quality beginner level education. We are not pros. We are teens working our way through puberty, with our friendly guide Pig.

[@PiGCoaching]

cheers mate

[@raf74hawk12]

I think that Plat is a bird so that it is visually distinct from silver at a glance. Similar metals and what not. As for why it's a bird in particular? Idk birds of prey are cool?

[@cadenmorris8730]

had an adept shade in silver that killed my teammate. but they didn't make any units other than their first 10 adepts and they lost the match

[@PiGCoaching]

haha nice

[@billjensen51]

Be aggressive, be, be aggressive

[@lfgamble3924]

Can some plz tell me. If b2gm isnt a good way to learn. What is? Because idk if u guys know this. But sc2 is a SMIDGE complex. Im pretty hardcore when it comes to grinding, labbing. Using minute micro, replaying specific situations in the unit tester... And theres still tons of shit idk.. I would like if b2gm was more hardcore... Like, i personally would like for vibe, or pig to go ham on fools, so i could see the better/best options/ Strategies/ micro+macro tactics. But thats just me. Now that i can actually play the game a little bit.

[@johnwattenbarger7433]

I think that's where watching pro games is better to see the best of the best as far as builds and micro go. PiG definitely goes harder on his opponents than Vibe though.

[@FangsIAm]

48:35 ... 14 Gateways :/ (meh) ... 15 GATEWAYS :O :O :O !!! I like how he is so impressed with 15 and not as much with 14 xD

[@yorkshire_tea_innit8097]

Maybe this is the true gold league experience. Just smurfs fighting smurfs.

[@scottsullivan6443]

I've been in Gold league for a while because half the people I play are diamond league or higher, Gold is filled with smerfs. So I have to compete against diamond league players to get to platinum. ViBe says "Don't use diamond level micro in gold or platinum all you need is macro" But I don't think he realizes how many diamond players are in Gold league.

[@ckreon]

Stay curious!

[@MrFreeGman]

PiG playing: all my opponents will allow me to do my build perfectly with no resistance Me playing: all my opponents try some sort of rush or cheese or probe harassment

[@connorsterrett]

He's had multiple rushes, quick DTs, cannon rushes, battle cruiser rushes, etc. He just does a good job of scouting and reacting. That's a hard skill to learn though for sure.

[@Vertignasse82]

Now in late 2022 people in silver are better than the people he plays against in this vid. People keep getting better.

[@vifareld]

Is he even playing SC2? In my experience your opponents are supposed to do the following: vT: Proxy Rax all in or BC rush vP: Proxy Gateway all in or Proxy Void Ray, sometimes DTs vZ: 12pool, Roach all in or Nydus Nobody just sits there and wait until you kill them at Gold league level

[@daneQuixote]

Do you know how to beat battlecruiser rush?

[@badass6300]

@@daneQuixote Kill them before they get their battlecruisers. At 6th minute they got no cruisers you can have about 80-100 supply and with that army just kill them.

[@muuanmies7372]

13:07 ironic much?

[@joemakepeace6652]

the smurfing talk is so annoying, this is great content

[@matthiaszepf2451]

Hey PiG, I like your videos and you really try to be a good teacher, making everything look so easy. I know it is not. But the problem is, your builds are mostly useless in (European) reality. They are good for winning 15-20% of the matches. In the other matches one dies to cheese or quick 1-base pushes or any kind of clever air attacks. What is needed is strategies to defend such play style. "Continue your build" and "that does not happen in Gold" doesn't do it. Sorry.
