I've spent the last two or three days more or less on top of my silver league, and I was finally moved into a Gold league about an hour ago (after I won a game vs a Platinum player, I think).

I've been trying to use lings more after watching Mind vs LaLush in the ESL finals, to varied effect. Against a robo-bay protoss the ling/hydra combo can be pretty amazing, as well as doing run-bys vs a bio T. I'm still staying away from Roaches in everything but ZvZ; I find hydras generally better and I have an easier time with hydra micro.

My goal for the next couple days is starting to get my infestor building at a regular timing and add infestor play to my reportoire. I feel that with that, I'd be much more viable against a mid or late-game bio T. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to deal with a MMM ball? A lot of what I'm seeing on the forums calls for banelings, and I haven't played around with them too much.


I'm also looking for a ZvP practice partner; reciprocate.eloen in-game if you're interested.

If you mass roaches he's gonna Marauders for sure.
A question, what about taking control of medic with infestor? Then you can reaped out his Marines&Marauders right?
Attack is the best defense

I beat a platinum guy today, and just after the game was over i was moved down to gold league, at the very bottom of it too. Bleh!
Bisu[about JD]=I was scared (laughs). The force emanating from his facial expression was so manly that I was even a little jealous.

Yup, you gotta waiting for the wave of promotions. I was leader of a Gold division for a week. Fortunately, all the games you are playing against platinum players now is boosting your ELO for when you actually get promoted.

I am #3 in my Gold league division as protoss and I wouldn't mind a Z practice partner (even though if you didn't know there is a thread dedicated to finding practice partners here : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=113562 )

anyways hit me up on US server NCX.NCX

Same for me as a protoss lol Muta and roaches are a bit imba still I think, not saying protoss units arn't (collosus and immortal but then again, stalkers arnt nearly buff as they should be)
Why?

I never use mutalisk, seems to die very fast and you cant micro them properly (ie like in scI) - how exactly do you get beaten by that combo? (a)
