The 2023 version of my Zerg Bronze to GM series is here! In this episode, I teach a beginner build order for bronze and silver players, we talk about settings and hotkeys, and we play through a variety of opponents sourced from the community.
BUT PIIIIIG HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT TO YOUR FIRST B2GM SERIES?
The first Zerg B2GM series from 2021 STILL WORKS, this new series just teaches different builds and updates a few things. And this one is done by playing against viewers, not smurfing against ladder opponents.
BUT PIIIIIIG WHY ARE YOU SMURFING AGAIN?
The new B2GM series are against volunteers only, no ladder smurfing here.

@PiGCoaching Год назад

Thanks so much for the positive response gang! I've already noted some big things to prioritise covering in the next gold session: How to defend 1-base builds, proxies/12 pools (the fastest rushes possible) AND how to deal with pylon blocks/other obstructions disrupting our build.

@enriquegarciacota3914 Год назад

According to uthermal, the counter to a proxy pylon is building a hatchery in their base.

@LordMephilis Год назад

Question, as a gold player how do I volunteer for this? If it's not too late.

@Pig Coaching will you try to make another B2GM for Terran as well?

@DMBlade4 2 месяца назад

Picking up SC2 for the first time in 2024. Thanks for helping me learn Zerg!

@dylangajewski Месяц назад

Fellow Aussie. I was gold 3, but struggling to progress. I'm only half way through this video, but it's already tightened up my macro game enough to shoot me up a division after 3 or 4 games. I'm mostly just sticking with Ling bane so I can focus on the macro, and I generally have enough stuff to just overwhelm even with not the best composition. Thanks a bunch Pig

@nicjanelle Год назад

Hey Pig just wanted to say I'm so glad you're doing one of these again. I followed your first B2GM not too long ago and I'm now in Platinum league with the roach hydra build when I was struggling in Silver before that. I'm having tons of fun and you made me learn a lot of fundamentals. Can't wait to watch this new series!

@dogfishfood Год назад

Similar story. I enjoy the game more now that I feel like I stand a fighting chance further up the ladder.

@danny.ray101 6 месяцев назад

I have been a SC and SC2 player of the first hour, but before B2GM I was afraid to just be getting crushed all the time vs players. I recently learned some builds, practiced the hell out of them and I already do well against an average silver player. I am curious how far I will make it.

@Neurotripsicks 4 месяца назад

Finally found a video showing everything I needed to know about Zerg. SCII was the first game I bought in 2011 when I built my PC. Decided to install it the other day and play it again. I was lost. Good video man, gonna watch this more until I understand how you're injecting so fast.

@blgdinger3 3 месяца назад

hotkey pushed to move to hatchery, box select queen or have queens on a control group, inject if you get behind you can shift+inject to queue injects if queens have energy stored up

@CPeyser08 Год назад

Stoked to have another B2GM in motion! I know you tend to have mixed feelings about making them, but they are super helpful!

@PiGCoaching Год назад

No mixed feelings on this one, sourcing volunteers all the way up the ladder from the community so no harm done. Thanks mate

@ThatsHekkaz Год назад

@@PiGCoaching Genious idea Pig. You're a champion. I think that the good far weighed out the bad with the last series but this is the ultimate way to do it.

@dogfishfood Год назад

You've helped me so much. I've played Starcraft since I was 11 and it's nice to finally have guidance getting better at the game. The concept of a macro cycle was foreign to me. Me and my best friend bonded over this Brood War in 8th grade and we still play once or twice a week with your videos in hand to make us better about being 30+yo men enjoying game night. So maybe we're not going for GM, but thank you for helping us enjoy the game and not just feeling bad about losing all the time in Bronze.

@playlists987 Год назад

Something I'm happy you do in this series is to just let yourself lose, rather than channelling your inner GM. It shows us what decisions we can reasonably make as you go.

@PiGCoaching Год назад

Yeah since I really didn't want to slum in the lower leagues too long previously I rushed through some bits. I think this B2GM should be a bit more methodical and there should be quite a few more losses spread through the whole thing

@leosolko Год назад

Recently picked up starcraft 2, didn't play it since 2017. Very cool to have this series again!

@kaszalubabob3890 Год назад

Hey, thanks a lot for both this and the previous B2GMs! I've been watching pro play for a bit but never got into the game myself since I didn't even know where to begin, it seemed very overwhelming but thanks to following your teachings, trying to chill out a bit and focus on one thing at a time I managed to get into it and having a blast. Glad to see you found a way to give us more of this without having to do smurfing, kudos to all the volunteers!

@PiGCoaching Год назад

Eyoo welcome to the ladder mate! At the end of the day we're all far from perfect players and there's joy on just getting in there and improving at whatever catches your fancy. Cheers mate

I'm only 19mins in to this video and I'm learning a lot! Thanks PiG for this enjoyable tutorial :D

@Kruxxor Год назад

Perfect timing Pig, just started 3 days ago, been following your old videos with some success so far. mostly been progressively playing Ai 1v1. Working on getting my zerg Macro firmly embedded in my brain. Also using camera location's and hotkeys for queen injections.

@PiGCoaching Год назад

eyoo! Hope you're enjoying it mate. Definitely consider control grouping those injecting queens (something i touch on once or twice but don't do myself) as most players find that makes it much smoother. Scarlett's been nagging me to do this as she said it really helped her game but I've been a stubborn Sally so far lol

@Kruxxor Год назад

@@PiGCoaching yeah I add them to 5. Watched a video on it. I don't spacebar inject though, especially after adding macro hatches. I prefer using the saved camera hotkeys. Thanks for the reply. Watching your serral vs hero casting game right now. Pretty nuts!

@johnbennett6700 Год назад

I'm brand new to the game and your videos are the best resource as a bench mark for what I should be doing. Also going over the hotkeys and mechanics was super helpful; I'm still getting used to them, but it's already making a huge difference especially the hatchery control grouping and injecting. I also thought the part at 1:25:30 where you ran your zerglings into like every mineral line was badass.

@PiGCoaching Год назад

thanks mate! Give Zerglings any surface area on enemy stuff and they will do soooooooooooo much damage

@janjoghurt8797 Год назад

I just recently got into this game and am watching the shit out of your first Zerg Bronze to GM! Your guides are super helpful, and even more importantly, they are entertaining. Never stop doing this content, I was binge watching all your casts too for the last few weeks too. Always a pleasure hearing you ranting about Darks messed up builds.

@MaybeTiberius 3 месяца назад

i recently forced myself to use camera locations and holy moly, it is such a gamechanger compared to home camera especially on zerg. the issue is: if you have 3 inject queens but 5 bases and lets say 4 macro hatches and all you use is homecamera, you always have to cycle through 9 hatcheries trying to find your queens while camera locations you always know where your queens are

@theral056 9 месяцев назад

I was dabbling in Gold a few days ago, now I'm in Plat 1 and reckon I'll get diamond soon. All those fundamentals? Man, they eluded me. Macroing actually feels a lot less stressful now. Lots of cool tips that helped me a lot too. Like "take away and add to control group" being super duper useful, a dump key (I use ctrl+space to dump into grp0), making control groups out of eggs (!!! this one is HUGE I had no idea that's a thing lol), and also, I succesfully survived a BC rush. As soon as I saw the BC, queued queens on all hatches, 4 spores at the main where the BC was headed, and 2 spores at all other bases. Was really solid. Had a hitsquad of 6 queens to help me fend of the return with 3 BCs, losing 5 of those queens (3 to yamato) but then for the next return had corruptors and annihilated those BCs. I usually just panick when I see BCs. It went really smooth, you gave me the tools to deal with it :) Really appreciate the amount of matches, the repetition, it really helped me get those fundamentals ironed out which really helped me climb quickly. Can't wait to see what I'll learn in the next videos that are inevitably more advanced. Thanks pig!

@alexanderkozhevnikov9087 Год назад

The monitor size tip is huge. The single biggest improvement to my minimap awareness was getting a 27" monitor instead of the 13" laptop monitor I had been using. I thought I was just really bad at glancing at that corner often enough - nope, just needed a larger monitor to make the minimap larger.

Ty PiG! Haven't played in ages, and this video got me placed back in D3 with 150 apm and no units built that weren't a ling, bane, drone or queen while background listening. Way more fun to play than the roach hydra spam I've used before.

@FaultyProgeny Год назад

I have struggled with Terran Mech for so long... and just now with nothing but lings, bane & corrupts a turtle mech Terran just asked me "what I get out of smurfing" (ended up being a semi-amicable chat, told him to feel free to check my match history and that it was PiG's recent B2GM tutorial in action ect) While I'm still a bit shaky with this build and style, I've been having a lot more wins since watching this video and honestly ling play is just fun ;) (currently in plat) Thanks PiG!!!!

The most game changing scrolling method I found out recently is clicking in the mouse wheel. The camera will scroll no matter where your mouse is currently! It has saved me so much arm work over time. 🙂

@PiGCoaching 11 месяцев назад

yeah this is gaining popularity with a lot of the younger pros who use it mixed with edge scrolling now. I still only use it for casting or setting up camera locations in the earlygame, but that's just me being an old-dog that hasn't taken the time to learn to use it more often

@KyXnline 9 месяцев назад

I've only been playing a 2 days, and I'm glad you brought up bench-marking because I'm having a hard time gauging how I'm actually doing. I was doing alright day 1, but today has been full of chaos / cheese. I got rushed with a stealth flying unit super early on one game, and they kept shredding my economy and it completely ruined any chance I had at getting my macro practice in. Guy ended up having 40 APM to my 120 and I still felt completely outpaced because I kept having to restart. A few games before that I also got cannon-rushed before my 2nd base even popped, so same thing. When scenarios like that happen, I feel even more lost than I already am, and it makes it really hard to judge if I'm doing anything right at all. Edit: Add widowmine marine rush to that list.

@PiGCoaching 9 месяцев назад

Trial by fire! Sounds like a rough streak. Make sure you watch the replays and write a few dot points for each situation/new pressure you dealt with for you to follow next time you encounter it. SC has limitless tactics to screw with the opponent so slowly building experience with those situations will be really great. Make sure you hop in my Discord and share replays of any frustrating losses in the "Zerg Discussion" channel so we can help you out: discord.gg/SkhbzCM

@mdspartan167 Год назад

I am just on the settings part, and didnt know that about the enhance pointer precision... that explains why my mouse feels so sluggish half the time whether for work or another game! I like fast moving mouse, but hate having to press the dpi button because then i cant see movements and it gets all jarbled. Disabling now feels so weird using the mouse lol but I am sure a couple days and I will be used to it, but so much prefer that off so thank you for teaching me something new about my computer that I won't just use in game but for work! side note, I use an 18 inch monitor, I hope to get a 24 inch at some point because I think that could be a good size.

I know to some it doesnt sound impressive but ive had a 30 minute slog against the very hard AI in a ZvZ and i think i had 6 expansions going on at all times. I dont think that mentality of expanding wouldve been embedded more deeply if i didnt get the fundamentals down thanks to you sir. It was THE very first time ive beaten it and i am immensly proud.

Next episode will be gold league players and then plat the week after so we'll get to see vs all levels. The great thing about Starcraft is games are always very different based on how you and your opponent play. So none of these shows will ever show exactly what each person out there will experience on the ladder. The skills will carry over and easily blast you through these leagues if you apply them though :)

@gisten7818 Год назад

not realistic enough for bronze/silver every zerg needs to be a 12 pool every terren BC/turtle, and every protoss cannon rush. That is the real bronze league experience. FR tho this video helped me ALOT. At first Ling/Bane was really hard for me to win with, but I watched PiG's other B2GM guides and something clicked. In your protoss B2GM you steamroll an opponent who goes for a super greedy opener (double forge, all the expensive stuff) and you clearly demonstrate the importance of being aware of what you opponent is trying to do and having what you need to put yourself in an advantageous situation against them. (sorry its hard for me to put to words) But it made my ability to fend of rushes and hit my timing attack skyrocket.

Just what I was looking for, thank you so much

@juppisses Год назад

Yes, thanks for this series!

@musclegames4397 Год назад

Can't wait for you to do a Terran. I'm new and was following the terran beginners bronze to gm and I was wondering if that series was still relevant from a year ago? Thanks, and I'll be looking forward to these other bronze to gm videos. They're pretty cool and help me to stay focused on what's important.

@PiGCoaching Год назад

hey mate the 2021 b2gm series are all still relevant! i always say my videos from many years ago can still be used for most beginners to get into the game

@Kradukman Год назад

It's at least relevant until diamond, same for vibes B2gm :) (haven't watched/reached above diamond yet so I can say for that)

@ryanl157 Год назад

Idk how I missed this. Couldn’t have come at a better time, currently using yours and vibes b2gm to make my way thru plat, and I must admit I was starting to get curious on how to use zerglings/banes and getting kinda sick of roach/hydra lol.

@LordMephilis Год назад

A thing I started doing was have the banelings on a group with the zerglings and in their own group so I could right click them around while a moving zerglings

@PiGCoaching Год назад

Not a bad way of doing it, quite a few people like to do that. I tend to do a lot more control clicking manually on stuff since my army is often split up into different areas

@enriquegarciacota3914 Год назад

One of the things I would like you to talk about is: when to look at the minimap? Do you look at it on every macro cycle? Every 15 seconds?

@PiGCoaching Год назад

It's really important to learn the muscle memory on most of your tasks so that you can basically always be watching the minimap. As build gets memorised you should constantly be glancing at the minimap. Even high level players will have far less minimap awareness if they aren't well practiced with a build - because they don't have muscle memory down yet and are having to watch and think about all their basic actions in their build instead of quickly glancing at them, executing, and moving onto the next task + glancing at the minimap in between.

@lazarusnobel5185 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for the coaching. I'm curious about "The Core" hotkeys

@PiGCoaching 11 месяцев назад

It's pretty hardcore nerdy setup that only works in in games that have super customisable hotkeys and modifiers (most games you can't use something like this). More info here: tl.net/forum/sc2-strategy/341878-thecore-advanced-keyboard-layout

@adam-qu6dh Год назад

Hello fam, would you recommend watching the first B2GM series first or can start with this? Or should I start with the first series of Terran B2GM? Ta!

@joshuajohnston90 Год назад

So I just recently got a computer specifically for SC2! I've been watching some guide for a few days but I truly am a new player and I would love to play against you for the series. I'm new and learning but I have been watching matches for a week or so.

@PiGCoaching Год назад

A bit too late for this series but hopefully for a future one. Definitely join the discord and get to know the community - lots of players happy to show newcomers the ropes :)

@joshuajohnston90 Год назад

@@PiGCoaching Thanks man I definitely will

@imzesok Год назад

26:44 - another reason to turn off "show alerts" is those alerts are clickable and will jump your camera all over the place if you accidentally click them and they take forever to fade away. I've lost a ton of games because I went to a-move a location and didn't notice the notification and clicked it sending my POV 3 screens away.

@PiGCoaching Год назад

I didn't even realise that was a thing, definitely extra reason to turn it off then!

@TheRaknor Год назад

thanks so mutch for this guide and all others :D

@soscustin2954 Год назад

PiG, you're the man, thanks for sharing so much info with us bronzers and slivers. There's one thing I want to understand better if I may ask. I see a lot of 16 drone 2nd hatchery rather than 17. Just curious what info you have on why you are sticking with 17 drone second hatchery?

@PiGCoaching Год назад

Drone scout loses us a lot of minerals so the pool will be quite delayed. If you don't drone scout 16 hatchery is better because it lines up perfectly so you can build 2 queens at the exact same time

@demonlucius3586 Год назад

Hey Sir ! Can you share your hotkeys core file in the description ? Thank you so much for this series a lot help for community. Best teacher ever.. Very patient and pedagogic! Best regards !!!

@PiGCoaching Год назад

I use a modified version of the Core+ that was manually set up for me by Jakatak himself way back 8 years ago. It requires me to use software to change what keys do on the modifier keys on my keyboard do. I don't share the file because it wouldn't make sense for anyone else to use it. The standard, modern versions of the Core can all be found on teamliquid and in the discord group for the Core is a great place to get help setting it up. That way you can find resources on setting it up or troubleshoot issues whereas that wouldn't work copying my setup
