You could just listen to radio instead. www.di.fm. Do you find legacy more fun? Or why don't you run hots instead if your main race is zerg.

Zerg is definitely the easiest macro-wise for me, but ehhh I could play all 3 races on a decent scale with some added effort so I guess my main was random; I don't really play on ladder though because I'm not really competitive, just love refining and theory-crafting haha That and loved the approach/mentality Day9 brought to the scene for sure.

I'll definitely pick-up running HotS SS as well in the future, I had almost finished hashing out a decent set-up for a HotS Single-segment but decided to switch focus to LotV and JKA. I also like how Protoss has ship abilities rather than a hero that you can revolve a run around which seems to take more aspects of SC2 multiplayer for the campaign speedrun; so that kind of drew me to LotV! I also do love protoss, my macro mechanics and some micro stuffz could definitely use a lot of tuning bahaha

How about yourself? what brought you into speedrunning the campaign? I saw you mentioned you wouldn't pick up other campaigns because you enjoy the LotV missions. ALso, thanks for the radio suggestion I'll totally check it out

I'm just waiting for the multiplayer scene to get more balanced and builds to be more refined before I start focusing on the ladder. I'm not going to run hots or wol because I want to stay sharp with my protoss skills for when I start laddering.

Well, don't you look at multi the same I look at single Tongue

I like grinding lotv, being bad at every mu and trying all kinds of strats. But figuring out single missions, mehhh, have others work on that! But I think multi is getting to somewhat fair balance, without really any patches in retail, just meta somewhat settling. Until ofc korean leagues start and wreck everything we know Smiley

They're patching the game very soon I think http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/20042936861. I don't like wasting time practicing builds that wont work because of new meta or patch.

Holy shit, they are changing half of the game with those changes.

Well the game is new so it makes sense. I remember in WoL when they added the Supply Depot requirement for the Barracks and the whole game changed. From what I've seen in tournaments the Disruptor looks pretty fun but in PvP it gets kinda stupid the way you move in and out with your armies. But the game seems more micro oriented now which is how it should have been from the beginning. I got tired in WoL and never returned really cause it was all about big armies a-moving, the whole Colossus and Force Field things bored me to death (I was a Terran).

Be glad you skipped the Siege Tank vs. Swarm Host chess.

Here is me doing Last stand on brutal in 25:04

I discovered a trick that saves 9 seconds if done perfectly. The window to get the perfect time is like 0.1 of a second. Too late and you'll get an extra second, too early and you'll lose many seconds.

Can you change the WoL vid to this one freezard?

I put this one up because it's much less tedious to watch than finding the 9 parts to the initial one I uploaded to youtube.

People are actually doing ILs on speedrun.com now: http://www.speedrun.com/Starcraft_II_Legacy_of_the_Void/individual_levels.

Although they are all on normal difficulty >_>. But there is also a brutal category, you could maybe add your runs to there.

Bloody's runs are now added on that page.

I noticed that in several cases, the Brutal time is actually faster than the Normal, so there is probably not a lot to learn from them... in one case though, on the first level "For Aiur!", I noticed that the Normal record did something not in the Brutal version: to blink a stalker forward to activate the Colossi earlier, and have them start dealing damage.
