I hope you take no offense to anything i am about to say :P

Your tower placement was beyond horrible....the point of the tower is to secure resources and use to fire at units when getting attacked.  Consider placing it right next to a gold mine or hunts so your vils can pop in and out.

At your level (after watching i guess you are 1lt on nilla) micro is no where as important as macro.  At pro level micro is the most important thing because macro is easier.  You need MAJOR work on ur macro.  An ff is used to spam age 3 shipments, but only shipping military is a bad idea.  You killed your eco by doing this. Try to focus on getting earilier market and no idol tc. Also you need 1000wood in ur deck to go 3 tc much sooner for map control and eco.

You didnt scout at all.  Your enemy could have gone full ff for halbs and u would have lost.  You just assumed that your enemy would make musk and strelet so you spammed lancer.  NEVER ASSUME! you need to scout or you will never get better. 

Why would you build a tp far away from ur tc when u are going ff.  Need to make it right next to ur tc so u can protect it with tc fire + tower fire.

I would reccomend using control groups for tc, rax, and stable so u can make units while having eyes on the battle.

You didnt try and gain map control at all.  You just sent vils all over the place.  If he shipped 6 oprinicks u were dead easy. 

Try to go for mixing units and not just spamming lancer lol.  You weren't flexible at all and just kept making lancer when he was spamming cav archer.  You should have went goon skirm or something if he is full cav archer.

There were many many more smaller errors that i dont have time to mention or forgot, seems like you just need more experience with the game.

If you ever need help i would be willing to help you my eso is the same as this username.

Thread updated.

 SecretShogun,

I'll reply properly to your post sometime tommorow. Sorry I haven't done so yet. Just been busy :'(. I did find it very useful though and I appreciate feedback :)

SS, I replied to you in 1v1 com 4 which is now online :). 

Nice vids :) 

Being very new I have no idea exactly how good the games were, but definitely nearly infinitely better than when I play. Very helpful, thanks :)

Videos with tips would be very helpful too :)

Oh yes, rlly nice vids!

SecretShogun:

also could u tell me how u did this VOD stuff? i have been thinking about making one..do i need to install a program or something?

You need a program for recording your game. I use Fraps( Interjection does too) And then a vid editing program(can be basic) and a way of recording ur voice. .

Thats all. 

Doesnt windows just have a voice recorder thats fine ? 

Hey guys, thanks for all the comments :). I really appreciate it. Tips and tricks videos coming out tonight :D.

Shogun, I'm going to start featuring community videos, if you make something good (which I'm sure you will), I can upload it to the TheNationofWarriors channel if you want me too and only if you want me to :). To do this you must upload it to your own YouTube channel, I will then download the video from your page and then reupload it to our own channel. But it's complementary up to you.

I use Fraps to record the video and TeamSpeak 3 to record my voice.

This applys to anyone, however, I will only select GOOD videos :)

 Be sure to check out Video 4, it's still fairly new :).
