I'm glad that protoss is rediscovering how their race works. 6 gate used to be an all in move but creative protosses like Kiwi have basically thrown that book out the window and basically said "screw the rules" and managed to create innovative and excellent new strats.
Now, time to see what MC has cooking up his sleeve.

I'm no zerg of course, but you should try playing more reactive. See if that works. Constantly poke your opponent to see their army composition, send an ovie with speed over their base, keep the towers to see if they're coming..
The few times I played Panda (& lost of course), he didn't really macro like crazy or micro like crazy. He just constantly checked what I was up to, so he had the right response. Three rax pressure? Make stuff & put spines down. Terran teching up? Take preventative measures & drone up.
Also, look into
* baneling busts (seriously why does no zerg gaffer do baneling busts? esp. vs opponents that tech up)
* overlord drops
* baneling bombs
* nyuds canal

Speaking of InControl, I listened to the latest ITG ep. The format seemed a lot better than it was initially, and the hosts are cool; not as good as SOTG obviously, but I'll probably start listening.
The only thing that pissed me off was the esport entitlement of every panelist concerning season 3 maps and ladder. The VAST majority of people who play SC2 not only aren't pros, but don't know or care about esports. They want to have fun on maps they can exploit. Yea some of the season 2 and 3 maps suck, but they aren't meant for pro players. Nor should Blizz add GSL maps to appeal to a minority of players.
Blizzard should introduce customizable ladders, and perhaps a separate ladder for pro players. I would love to be able to form a ladder of 20 diamond friends and choose which maps are available. Also it would certainly rock if grandmasters had an option to play on some type of iccup ladder featuring all tournament maps, that would change monthly depending on what tournaments were coming up. That would certainly be badass. But casual players on the regular ladder should be able to play the maps they want to play, which typically aren't big macro based maps.

What you're saying might make sense if most people were just asking for big macro based maps. Maps don't have to be really big to be good and the complaints being made about maps generally have little to do with size (except for extremely small rush distances on close spawn which are stupid).
Also just because players aren't pros doesn't mean they want to just play on shitty maps.

Yeah, like him or not, Incontrol is really the spice this show can't do without.
Bit of an update since last posts:
Well I've been practicing with all the tips I've gotten and I finally came away with what was quite a satisfying win. I wanted to post my replay here and see if you guys could tell me what I could improve on.
http://www.sc2replayed.com/replay-videos/11082
I feel like I've been getting my 4gate up much quicker than before, and that's been showing in the results. Prior to this game I've had some pretty close matches but it was mishaps on my part especially with timing and bonehead mistakes.

Your 4 gate build is getting better (6:23 in this replay as opposed to 6:45). I think the more you are familiar with this build, you'll eventually have it down to 5:45.kunu said:
Warping in units before moving out. This is good.
One small improvement you can do is using some chrono earlier on probes. You can chrono the Nexus for probes once after the first pylon completely warps in on 10 supply (as you're building your 10th probe) and another chrono on the Nexus in between 12 and 13 supply. You can then save the chrono until you begin researching warp gate.
Keep working on macro as you still pile 1000 minerals on one base. I see that you find yourself pylon blocked.

These DOTA games are definitely making quite a mark on esports. Will be interesting to see how they compete with SC2, which many assume is the premier esports title. LoL/HoN/etc have very impressive stream numbers and MLG has picked them up. Perhaps having three games based on the same game will divide the community enough for SC2 to remain on top.
PhoenixDark said:
HoN will most likely die out, so it's really between DOTA2 and LoL.
Thing about DotA is that there's way more downtime compared to SC2 with the amount of farming that happens. I think it's more fun to play than watch honestly, while with SC2 my enjoyment is split between watching and playing.
