What are your thoughts on hallucinations? I like to think that they could be used a lot more than people use them (and I'm not talking crazy shenanigans like 13+ Colossus hallucinations.) But what about just using a bunch of hallucinated zealots or something as a meat shield or even to just fill up space against an opponents forces?

I know that you don't see Baneling usage a ton against Protoss (a situation where I definitely think more "worthless" bodies in the way is a good thing.) but it just seems like hallucinate is something that really doesn't see a lot of use outside of phoenix scouting or something.


Hallucination along with warp prisms are the most underused P units that will be unlocked as the game goes on. I certainly think they have a place. Especially for like fake tech switches, scouting or meat shield tactics.

Banelings should be used more against P btw.


Thanks!

I fully intend to try a Warp Prism build for the Funday Monday this week - offensive cannons bitches.

Rotate between top replays for inspiration then custom games with select partners / team and mass ladder.

rinse repeat etc.

Multiple methods of media is important.

You mentioned you like classical/opera music. What specific composers/time periods/genres do you like to listen to?

Also, how should banelings be used in ZvP? I always feel like they would be too slow and too weak (hp) to be effective in ZvP, since P and blink, go up cliffs, force field, and so forth.


Late game with ultras banelings become a billion times better and they aren't that expensive.. especially for how much they do. Before that it's nice to have em just to force the P to FF, if they fuck up they die basically. Worth experimenting anyways.

Opera/classical not particularly specific on that. Whatever sounds nice really.

I hope this isn't asked yet, but what are your usual ritual if you feel like you in "quicksand" (e.g. You can't get out of a slump, feeling a little bit down after losing game after games)?
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

Push away from the cpu, take a deep breath and go read or watch a show. Losing is contagious and you can go on tilt real fast. My mind gets clouted with shit that only makes it worse if I sit there and try and grind it out.

Note this only happens if I am playing REALLY bad or I am distracted or w/e.

TBH, I'm not sure which one I'd have preferred. Both have serious comical aspects.

This way is so much better. Inc would have been funny but with his attitude he probably would have played it up more, on the other hand Nony's more reserved attitude just makes it a 100 times funnier :D

your pvp (If I am remembering this correctly) was very nice.

I however am REALLY struggling at that mu and still trying to find an identity there. I anticipate being a completely different PvP player by the time MLG rolls around

These are just random questions, but meh
Do you like any classic (1975 and earlier) cars?
What is your favourite car maker (Ford, Austin Martin, etc)?
If you could choose 1 car, the colour of the car, and any modifications, what would you choose?
Survival is winning, everything else is bullshit.

Immortal with good macro. Need to punish their immobility so when they move out you warprism some mineral lines or production area. Hit them when unsieged (never when sieged) and spread units as much as possible. Army comp should be immortal, chargelot, HT and some stalker sentry. If you get a big enough macro go for some collo as well

As a general rule of thumb you want around 4 production buildings per nexus. This is exponential and progressive so don't just throw down 4 gates at once.. expand, build a gate, 10 seconds build a gate etc.

However as the game draws on this ratio deteriates so 3 nexus 12 production is bit excessive because usually by the time you get to 3 bases the main is drying up so 8 for 2 is fine once you hit 3 nexus be thinking more along the lines of 10

No. Gaming experience is a bonus but they don't care that much.

They pay poorly.

Do you play chess much?
Have you played magic (card game)?
Care for fighting games?
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.
