I have a hard time understanding what the whole interview is about (through google translate) but I guess it is about SC2 coz i see they mentioned immortals and colossus. So I hope that some chinese speaking fella would be so kind to translate this for us ^_^.

Enough for ppl to extrapolate what is being said i think. Here is the first question with some sense into the Chingrish of the google translation PCG_ever: I also play P - - Brother LX please give me some advice on confrontations using P. Such as what is a good starting strategy, What to pay attention to when scouting, and what is the best tactics used according to what you scout? LX: PvP in the beginning don't get killed by the all in(major wave 1 killed) attacks. Get an observer and then investigate how many mining bases the other guy have. If there is no air then make 2 robotic(2vr: select probe, press v and then R you will make robotic) and make colousi. PvT Defend in the beginning, and then make Colossui zealots(xx refer to the 2 blades zealots have, XX = 2 forks) and stalkers(trackers) PvZ: more difficult to play. If they fast expanded (if mining camp). You can mass with 4 gateways or 3 gateways and 1 robotics to build immortal. And yes i figure them out by myself, no one told me XX = zealots and VR = robotics. every teamliquid user should be able to do the same with Ez too. We are elits! | ||

All questions are from various netizens I guess. How to play Protoss well? How to open, what to beware of, and any good tactics? -Lx: PvP the focus should be on not being rushed to death in the very beginning. Get out Observers and scout expos. If there’s no air just get Robotics for Colossi. -PvT is also defend in the beginning, and then use Colossi combined with Zealots and Stalkers. -PvZ is kind of difficult. Against expanding Zergs pump units from 4 Gateways or 3 Gate + Robotics making Immortals. SC2 won’t have Archon/Dark Archons, it’s all Archons. But this Archon is not the Archon of yesterday…seems like a useless accessory, reminiscent of Scouts… -In PvZ, use DTs to harass, then upgrade Speed, and use Zealot+Archon combo. What’s the racial imbalance right now? -P > T > Z > P If you select 12 larvae, you need to press H 12 times for 12 Hydras. Is there a way to do it all at once? -I don’t play Zerg a lot, and I don’t know of a way to do it… Do you have a girlfriend? -Wanna introduce someone? ^_^ A lot of people say SC2 is only a patch for BW with better graphics. Do you agree? How satisfied are you with SC’s progress as a whole? -From a SC1 perspective, SC2 added more elements, but removed the importance of control/APM. There’s a lot of balance and unit issues, but I think there’s a lot of room for fun and creative strategies. From reps, it seems like most games end with both sides A-moving until one GGs. Are there any established Protoss builds yet? Carriers seem to be powerful, but can’t seem to get any use in real games, just like Mothership. Zealots are weakers now. Is it possible to not make Zs, or only 2-3 Zealots early on, and instead rely on Immortal-Stalker-Colossi combined with Sentries? -I don’t think people have a deep understanding of micro and control yet, so that’s why there’s mostly A-moving. Zealots are weaker so vZ is harder. After +1 Attack, Shield or Armor first? -Um, I often feel strapped for Gas, I often stop upgrading after +1 Attack. Hellions seem so crappy compared to Vultures. No mines, shitty DPS, no room for micro…expect being cheap and the splash damage – marginal advantages – seems like kind of useless. -I was using it yesterday, useless if Zerglings have speed. Not like Vultures where you can micro. Are you satisfied with Stalkers? Seems like it has low DPS and is slow. But you need it to defend Mutas in addition to Phoenixes, useless on the frontal battlefield. -At first I thought Stalkers were invincible. Now it seems like its’ better as support from behind. How to play PvZ? -It’s hard on the P. Scouting is important. Watch reps. Can Zerg use Creep to Towerrush like in WC3? -Don’t think so. Usually it’s just for speed – static defenses aren’t that strong after all. Stalkers seem kind of imba, can Blink and hit and run, and is good for harass. What should Zerg do against it? -Speedlings and a few roaches nullifies it. Is Zealots-Stalker-Colossi a logical unit combiatnion? -I think it’s the best combined with a few Sentries. Is Ling into Muta better, or is Roach rush, or is Roach to Muta? -Don’t alwas have to rush, expanding is always a good option. Wait for them to attack, defend with Roaches, and once Mutas are out it’s easy. Mutalisks are still mobile. Sentries can’t beat mutas, and Phoenixes suck, and Archons suck. -Phoenixes aren’t that bad. You can also use it to snipe Drones if you mass up a few. New patch reduced Zealot shield by 10. Do you think this was necessary? And also the reduction of T upgrade times makes Terran more powerful… -I think T’s upgrades did take too long. The Zealot nerf is probably cause Zealots are very strong vT. When’s best timing for Protss? -When Warpgates finish, the sudden increase in unit count is a good timing. I think TvP mech is useless now. How do you play it? -Marauders and Banshees. Burrowed roaches regen very fast and can move. Even though Immortals counter, but Roaches seem to have better micro opportunities. Just burrow and fall back the low HP ones. -Use Colossi and Observers. Do you think SC1 will continue to exist? How long in Korea? -I don’t think it will have that much of an impact in Korea. General advice? -Beware of Banelings and Roaches vZ, scout well. T you’re just afraid of early rushes, and the timing when you’re tech switching to Banshees. PvP be careful of proxy Pylon. Can you still use F-keys? -Nope Does your family support your e-sports career? -Yeah. I love you Lx, I LOVE YOU! My cell is xxxxxxxxxx. -…^^; Do you use pinkie or thumb for Ctrl? How do you do groups? -1234, use thumb for the earlier ones, later use pinkie. Colossi and HT both do AoE damage, ar e their roles similar? -I think HTs are much weaker, but they’re cheaper… No more Lurkers, what is it replaced by? -Don’t really need it anymore, Hydras are powerful. General tips? -Hydralisks can’t beat Zealots-colossi. Same as vT, once you have Colossi, you can roll everything. -- Some of these tips seem pretty obvious lol. Again, this is a month old… | ||
