Kind of proud of myself getting maxed at 19:30 in 2vs2 (vs AI). Not sure how good that actually is and both AI were only medium (been getting knocked down from bad partners and me being stupid) but still.

Khaldor has chemistry with basically everyone.
Man, there was a tourney sometime ago where Khaldor and InControl were casting together on a B-Stream, and it was incredibly fun.

I'm always offering coaching to anyone on here that wants any for free. Bronze to Diamond.
I prefer if you're higher than plat that your main race be Protoss. But I can help any race below that.

Meh I'm not much of a competitive person. Did one match on ladder (first of the 5 to get a rank) and felt bad beating the person. I'll probably stick with fighting AI (1vs1 and co-op). Just got up to very hard AI but haven't tried it yet. Main is zerg btw. Main build goes like this:
10 overlord
10 extractor
9 drone
10 cancel extractor for extra drone before overlord finishes
14 pool
16 hatch
16 extractor
16 overlord
16 queen
From there it varies on what I'm against. Stick to mainly ling/baneling vs terran (although I need to either go muta's or ultralisks quicker once Thor's come out), protoss roach/hydra, and zerg mass roach (although last zerg I fought was on hard).

The build order depends on what you want to do. but most builds Start with 9 overlord into 14-15 pool then expand for Zerg.
if you want to rush zergling speed you get a gas before pool. So most openings end up matchup dependent or stylistic for Zerg depending what you want to do.

I should go gas earlier but outside of terran I don't build zerglings much outside of when I have too much larva (usually after I get a macro hatchery once my 3rd is up). I mainly only play against AI so I don't know exactly how effective my build is vs players.

Alot of your questions are open ended because the level of your opponent can differ greatly and how good you are in a certain match-up can dictate how well your builds do.
Can you help me get from Diamond to Gold so I can get on the same MMR as Panda?

go into game and leave game till gold =D
Well yeah if you wanna do it the boring way.
8 drone
9 drone
10 drone (overlord wherever you want)
11 drone
12 drone
13 drone
....
continue until 200/200 drone. build up 100 larva. build 100 spine/spores. build 100 drones. cancel 100 spine/spores.
attack with 300/200 drone army. Repeat as necessary.
Replace drone with scv/probe as needs fit.

Might as well just make only spines and spores and creep push the map the whole game.
But you might actually win with that.
exactly.
the creep push is not a bad idea, but then queens are taking up valuable drone supply. maybe build one early to plant a bunch of spore seeds, then kill it somewhere along the way.
1v1.

I'm not taking any lip from a fanboi.
best of 3, if fanboi wins i'll give up league and switch to a game of his choice. [+skullgirls]

Decided to at least do the rest of my matches to see what I got ranked. Ended up 2-2 (last game the person left instantly) and ended up in silver. My mid game is complete shit. One loss came from not moving on from ling/baneling/roach fast enough and getting swarmed by bio tank (also was too afraid to get a 3rd base). The other loss came from early protoss pressure while I was still droning up. The first game I won was a few days ago against a 1 base bronze terran, the one I just beat was also a terran (silver rank) on one base but a lot better. It was a 4 player map (forgot the name) and I proxy'd a hatchery and spire. He pushed with bio tank and I went into his base with my muta's at the same time. I put a bunch of spine crawlers in my natural and tried to build a few in my main but they got destroyed. Thankfully I was able to keep my mutalisks alive long enough (he had 3 missle turrets and some marines in his main) to completely destroy his economy. I was able to place about 8 spine crawlers in my proxy before my spawning pool died and I made a few more mutalisks to finish off the tanks once the bio died.

Only watched a few games of America WCS but Jaedong vs Oz made me laugh when JD tech switched to about 60 Muta's instantly.
To your knowledge... just like the way I want it...
Also forgot about that smack talk I did.

Is anyone watching WCS america right now? This Korean guy is pretty damn funny, they should keep him and get rid of the shitty gretorp/frodan combo. Day 9 really meshes well with this guy and he has some really cool insights into the Korean scene (even though it's WCS america ).
).
