I'm not playing vs AI - I'm recovering the replays vs a masters random player in the opponents slot. I encourage them to look around the replay and be familiar with the position whilst I'm going in blind other than the players explanation. I had SO much fun with this new show, I'll definitely be turning this into a regular show!

PiG this is a brilliant idea for a series. It's like one of those things that very few people can do, because it combines your GM level skill with your extensive coaching and commentary experience to create something valuable. Your B2GM series is great but your skill means that you don't get caught up in these weird disastrous positions that us normies get caught in every single time way play, and part of SC2 is knowing how to recover (or at least move forward) from a bad state. This whole thing was like a lesson on improvisation, as well as a demonstration of how that extra skill can be applied to turn a losing position into a winning one. It reminds me of some of those puzzle games that throw you into the middle of a weird scenario with a handful of very specific pieces and asks you to find the winning solution. Man, you and Harstem are treasures to this community. Skill in playing and commentating is great, but the way you two constantly bring your creative energies to your content and innovate what can be done around this video game make this 14 year old game still feel pretty fresh to watch as a viewer.

Thanks mate!

This is a great idea for a series, not only entertaining but educational. I especially liked the last game, 1hp marines, trapped by all the cannons parked right outside the base, it's like a start of a movie

I was thinking of a short acronym for this series... Save the Disaster? StD? Oh shit, the second after i thought that, i realized how bad it was, but maybe PiG will laugh at my dumb try anyway :D

Oh nice idea! I will have to go over my replays, I am sure I can find something

This is such a goated idea for a series. Super entertaining to see the chaos unfold and super informative for anyone who has ever had spaghetti fly everywhere during/after an all in

That's a cool idea! The loser gets humiliated by being shown how it's done and your opponent gets humiliated by losing a bunch from a winning position.

This idea is great and I support 100%! Exactly what going on in my mind in losing games or when watching othera losing games: "What if a pro or a very high skilled player play this situation, how would they do?". I used to watch Harstem' IIODIS and always wonder: "Harstem, you doing great job as a "backseat" coach, what if you are thrown into the situation, will you be able to backup what you say?"

This is going to be an amazing series! There are already so many guides/videos on the (important) fundamentals, builds, macros, etc. But this is the other half of what we need to help us improve on those clutch holds. I see games where a pro holds out against those All-Ins and im like "Wow, I'd get crushed instantly by that." Disaster Series will be educational, entertaining, and epic. Pig take us to the next level!

For the first game - maybe an answer to 'why didn't they have more than one gas geyser?' is that there is a common piece of advice floating around to only stay on one gas until you saturate three mineral lines. I followed it for a while but have started taking gasses earlier vs. Protoss for the very reason that I'd die vs all-ins like this.

@PiGstarcraft

yeah good choice against Terran, very dangerous against Protoss, especially if they're playing robo or twilight. You can usually get away with it vs stargate openings

Love this new show. Reminds me of chess players using stockfish when they start losing. Also, scout zerglings are now called observelings. I will not be taking questions at this time.

At first it sounded like Harstem’s “is this imba or do i suck” videos, but once I saw you start controlling the units I was so confused XD. This is a really cool idea for a series, and a cool tool for teaching too maybe.

Awesome idea! Your guides are great, but you almost never end up in one of those weird scenarios that we plebs keep getting ourselves into. It sucks to be dropped right in the middle of it, but you're the PiG, just wallow in it and wriggle your way out like a good sport.

ive been waiting for years for someone to do a series like this ever since i heard you could play matches from replays. love ya pig

Super cool idea for a show, love ittttttttttt

This is an awesome idea - Other creators have done stuff like this for other games and I like how you've approached it here! I think if you are looking to give people "advice" or a review after, it would be good to add a very brief bullet-point section at the end! You make some very keen observations about what to do while playing through it, I think a summary at the end would be good. "Here's what we needed to do throughout the game prior to this in order to lessen the impact of any disasters, and here's the specific things we needed to do during and after this disaster to recover from it." I think you do some of this anyways, but a really concise list at the end could be cool :) Looking forward to the next one!

play being able to go into a game that was played and play it yourself is a really cool rts feature that looks really awsome!

This was really cool, awesome idea!! Looking forward to seeing more of this :)

This is a fantastic new series I love It! Thanks for doing what you do mate, love the content.

Pig I love this idea! This was informative and so much fun to watch

I really like the new series! Keep up the awesome work!

I really love this new format.

If you keep this series going, I'm literally going to put these videos on repeat while I sleep, eat, shower, drive, poop, and everything else. There's so much to be learned from your breakdown of how to take stock of these situations. Thanks so much PiG as always!!

This is a wonderful idea for a series

Excited for this series!

Wow! These turned into such epic games!!! So fun.

This is a super cool idea. My only question would be, is it possible for you to set up stuff like hot keys or camera locations before it fully starts? Like you’re taking over from a disadvantaged position, which is the point, but the player would have their hot keys and camera locations set up from the beginning of the game so if it’s possible for you to do that I think that would be better. Don’t know if that’s possible or how it would work, just a thought though. Awesome series and idea either way

Also, for your next video maybe add an explanation of who you’re playing. I was unsure on that until I saw your comments explaining.

this is a great idea for a series

21:00 "Let's make Ultras to deal with the High Templar" a few minutes later: "Me sacrifice Ultras b/c his ground army is weak." 27:40 "I wish I had had Ultras to deal with the High Templar" 😁😁😁How does it feel to read your opponent like a book only to ignore it and then lose partially because of that? It's fun roasting a former pro while being a Gold 3 player myself. I mean it's not like I would've noticed the purpose of those ultras if it hadn't been for your commentary. When I watch games I'm just like "Workers go drill, fighters go splat, casters explain it to me!"

Interesting series, don't think you need to play out the full game, just till you have stabilized. Also after you finish it would love watch the replay up to that point to see things that got the player where they left it to you.

What a great idea for a show!

This is an AMAZING idea for videos.

This is such a cool idea makes me want to play again

I'll just echo everyone else to say that this is definitely a fun interesting idea!

So the whole point is, if u put Gm player into platinum situations, they will reverse it basicly nomatter what. Willing to C u reverse the sitiation and after it put Maxpax/Clem/Raynor on the opposite site so they will reverse it once more =D

I think you could do first attempt where they say, second attempt as late as you think is possible.

9:07 ahahhaa, if i did that i'd be too far ahead, we don't want that, they might gg

Love this idea. It's like a FAQ for terrible players like myself.

Thanks!

I can see where this would be useful to identify the mistakes a player made prior to Pig taking over, but as Pig is playing from a replay, isn't the AI controlling the enemy units? Does a player like Pig being able to defeat the AI really tell us much?
