    I thought generally Toss will camera bind their pylon simply because there aren't enough control groups. Would also make it more efficient since you don't have to double tap to center. Also it is hard to get your muscle memory down but I think if you hit ctrl then issue a command only the...

    Do you shift units into the hotkeys? Like I keep all my production on 5 so when I add stuff I just select my new stuff and shift+5 to add that production. Same deal with units. If my bio cycle finishes I just box those units and shift+2 them into that hotkey. I generally try to limit the...

    I actually saw Last at MLG used a ton of screen scrolling. I was kind of shocked. Should also note APM and efficiency of motion go hand in hand. Something I'm trying to break myself of is I just hit my CC hotkey to try and return to base. But that breaks when when I have more than one CC...

    Your APM will generally go up naturally once you know what to do in various situations. Unless your brain is lining up tasks faster than your hands can execute there isn't much to improve on outside of playing the game.

    Realistically the only practical use is blinking the target. And even more realistically you will just blink the entire blob of stalkers. You can also cloak midway through the projectile to avoid damage similar to viking shots against banshees. Actually if you're doing a blink all-in it...

    Morrow explains it in his post fairly well. Basically once the WM selects a target it has 1.5s to channel until it's spell is released. If you switch a target that 1.5s resets. So if it selects the leading zerging, you kill that ling with marines before 1.5s, then it needs to select another...

    I feel like that was true at first but I already feel the metagame is shifting away from that idea. The same RTS principals apply to HOTS that applied to WoL in that you want to be ahead economically. In HOTS it seems like you can't do the same stuff as in WoL where you can triple expand off...

    It happened twice that game I think. After I corrected that problem it happened again a few minutes later where I had a bad rally to just infront of the minerals lol. My brain was thinking "WTF I should have the minerals to throw down my 3 raxes by now .... oh fuck. Oh god no."

    All good I think I found a pretty decent build that is fairly safe in HOTS for TvP 10 depot @ ramp 12 rax not @ ramp 13 gas Marine 16 depot @ ramp (depending on scouting info: Reaper) Reactor Rax Fact CC Bunker @ ramp From there I make a handful of mines for defense and I get a...

    It looks like with speed vacs my old TvZ build from WoL is actually a bit better in HOTS. Not only speed vacs but widow mines seem to get rid of the "nervous" gap I always had when I only had 1-2 tanks out to defend ling counter attacks. Basic order: 1 Rax FE 3 Rax 2 Gas Tech -> Stim...

    I'm not sure if it is really that feasible. My issue lies in the fact that if I may like 1 marine a few seconds before I make a second they take up the same production icon but I'd need to recognize the number changed from 1 to 2. Since twitch is still pretty blurry even at 1080p it would be a...

    I'm attempting to write a Java program that will basically scrape your screen if you're watching a SC2 stream and be able to output the build order from the screen. We'll see if this goes anywhere but to shit town.

    TvZ is basically speedling and get OV speed rather quickly so you can see what the Terran is doing. In general you want to take Lair around 7:30-8:00 and once it pops get up Bane speed and a Spire. Make some mutas to pin the Terran down while tossing down a Pit and getting a handful of...

    I voted away Korhal and Planet S. I don't think Planet S is a bad map exactly but I don't have enough time to have a build dedicated to that map and my standard TvZ build of 3cc doesn't work on that map.

    Mines damage is a spell so it doesn't trigger hardened shields. Seems kind of stupid to just walk an Immortal infront of your army and absorb 11 mine shots before death.

    In low numbers Vikings don't really do much to Phoenix I think MC has enough to defend his Oracle if Bomber made a Viking instead of medivac

    StarCraft 2

    Maybe MC alters the build if the opponent doesn't do 111 like Bomber. Like maybe he cuts and expands faster knowing that with the map presence of Oracle + Phoenix he can safely be greedy for a bit.

    StarCraft 2

    Did Bomber 111 every game? I'm not sure how great it would be against a standard non-WM drop strategy. I feel if Bomber did something like Flash's build where he goes 15gas Rector after 1 marine, Factory and gets mines out of a non-reactored Factory to defend the mineral line it wouldn't do a...

    I don't think you understand how bad foreigners are at this game. HOTS has a greater skill ceiling so lesser players, namely foreigners, are getting shit stomped by Koreans. Not even just Korean Terrans. List of Foreigner vs KR: Life (z) vs Minigun (p) 3-0 Last (t) vs Stephano (z) 3-0...

    All I know is medivacs are forcing engagements and leading to exciting TvPs. If it wasn't for speed vacs Flash would just sit back and wait for 200/200 and hope he managed to out micro Parting. It is terrible to watch. Throw away race bias you have to admit speed vacs are making for very...

    Mutalisk move at 4.0 god damn speed. By comparison that is only 0.25 less than a Medivacwhile using boost.Considering Blizzard made it pretty clear they think Mutas should be a staple in TvZ if a Zerg is getting caught off guard by a Medivac drop that is on the Zerg. Zergs still have creep and...
