watch the replay of me against nrg yuy

collosus immortal couple zealots + stalker (for blink n mobility) = win. u need double robo but mainly u need to make sure theyre going to sit and try to harass u with hellions aka dont all in u on 2 base cus if u go double robo and they all in u its gonna be tight/a loss

let me know if u can beat it =P ah and blink stalker > hellions ^_ ^

[ChEDo]

so my friend and I were practicing PvT mech on Monday it was me 2 - him 4, 1 was just him messing up. so really 1-4,
but yesterday i beat him 2-0 we didn't play as much, but still i did a lot better.

Thanks desrow the replay was really helpful, and Mikey too thanks.

Hello Desrow !

Im a T player but since your a P do you think its harder for you to defend 1-2 base all ins or constant bio pressure/bio pushes??

1 Base all-in is getting easier to counter. It all comes down to knowledge and how good your scouting is. After that, you have to make sure your army composition is the right one otherwise you will get crushed by the terran. As for the 2 base all in/timing pushes, there's some scary one like banshees tanks marines 1 raven (on 2 base is even more scarrier) but other than that, they're not that hard as long as you scout it right.. As for constant bio pressure, It is really easy. Use forcefield = win. If you're talking about bio pressure at the front with 1 drop in the main and 1 drop in the natural (like my teammate pokebunny does) That's hella hard. You can't predict what they're gonna drop. You need stalkers for the marines and/or zealot sentry for the marauders T_T.
Dealing with drops is harder for protoss but at the end of the day, multi tasking 3 fights is hard for both players.

Are you going to be at Dallas?

Are you going to be at Dallas?

Unfortunately no. Columbus is 99.99% so far tho.

Alright, also are you going to be in any open tournaments soon?

[dRw]

Alright, also are you going to be in any open tournaments soon?

I sign up to most weekly tournaments. I'm in the Justin TV invitational #2 which should be pretty big/sick. I'm also going to a lan this week end.

1) A day in the life of desrow is wake up around 8-9am, workout for 30min, start streaming/giving lessons. Take lunch break around noon. Stream/give coaching until 5pm. work out for 30min, eat diner. stream / have tournaments and or clanwar and or team practice. go to bed around 11pm/midnight. Start over again. As of right now this is a full time job. I do part time coaching (10hours a week on average).

2) Try to ladder/practice 6-8hours a day. I take 1 daybreak per month.

so you don't go to school ? do you make enough off streaming/lessons atm? i can't imagine you could make enough like Destiny or most of the ROOT guys..

other then that, 8-9 in the morning? Holy shit dude thats early XD

I make a decent amount, if things keep going the way they are (getting better and better) I could possibly live on my own in less than 2-3months. Or hell, even live in a training house.

But as of right now, I could live on my own but i'd eat KD and crackers everyday.

I wake up early because streaming in the morning pays off and there's good European tournaments on week end to play.

nice

It is not as fun as some people think it is. The level of dedication it takes is very demanding. Coaching is fun but at the end of the day it's my job. It is fun to not have to go to work outside my home but still. Don't get me wrong, I love sc2 and I love the competition but all day every day can be very exhausting. All in all, I'm not planning to do this for many years but rather stacking up money for university/moving out.
