Description
This episode compares a Fast 3 Command Center build's economics to that of a Hellbat Dropping Terran, exposing key weaknesses in the build, as well as recommended scouting times to prepare exactly the right response.

Techniques for dealing with the drops themselves include:
- Queen targetting Medivacs
- Roach support
- Possible Spore Crawler placement and timings

This is a how-to guide for dealing with Reaper openings as a Zerg player. This is a technique tutorial, not a build order one -- that is to say, the lessons taught in this video will apply to almost any build order.

Great stuff. The level of detail separates this from the typical gold level "strategy" vids. like that

its a pretty sick in-depth analysis. I love to see this style of teaching and find it very interesting. Its a great method to separate yourself from a more standard analysis that is more readily available.

Tbh its no different in length to the average day9 daily which on occassion can focus on simple scenarios such as this.

keep it up and gl

Great Vid,
I now have a much deeper understanding of that opening. I now have backkground info, benchmarks and can evaluate the outcome of this kind of openings more precise

Thanks for that! I'd love to see analysis of more situations, openings, etc. in that format! Keep up the good work!

The level of depth you put into these guides is phenomenal and extremely beneficial for those willing to sit down and soak in all the information. That being said, you also have to realise that a large number of people will look at a 40 minute tutorial and go TLDR.
This is definitely something to greatly benefit those willing to go the extra mile, however. Keep them coming man!

Yeah Plottel you're absolutely right. I'm going to try and make them as appetizing as possible for that majority -- I accept most people won't watch the whole thing. Yet I still think there should be a version of these for people that are interested

Actually, it's because of a similar type of VoD -- MrBitter's 12 Weeks with the Pros -- that I was able to get from Bronze to Platinum within a month when I first started Wings of Liberty. His videos were over two hours long, but did very well. I'm sad to see that there are very few options right now like that on the market and I hope to stir up some interest Any feedback is appreciated on ways to make this more easily consumed without putting aside relevant information.

I know that it won't always be necessary to explain economics or why certain decisions in games will delay an economy and what the "Domino Effect" of that is, but I feel like it's still important to establish this as a strong baseline in the first few videos. I will be cutting that sort of analysis away shortly though.
