Don't ask, being cognizant is not your style


talking about my guide maybe?

I have to admit, maybe my elaborations for the techniques might not have been the most accurate:

But, These are all the techniques;
What is a technique: a core action to excel at a skill


Army: Use front units backed up with ranged units.
Power Up: Upgrade Army Stats
Scouting: however you would describe it
Fortressing: standing your ground or creating map control
Support: simply using units such as defiler etc
Poking: you guys call this harass
Rendezvous: basically retreating units to be backed up for better army
Drops: ye you know this

Elaborate however you think is right

Also, I am not saying this is everything about the skill, there are other knowledge and tactics(a sub technique), but the core are the msot important

can you believe after 27 years of this game, there are pro tournaments and maps from over 20 years ago that i only have found out about today?

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBw1ny_g1m-bcrhNM88Jl0iIzEI4KnGLx

OGN hosted a female starleague that had the following maps: Arachne, The Craters, Mark of Sanctuary, Fragile and Drake Lord (Blaze and Avon Garde were the other two but were also used in the OSL). notable figures participating in this tournament include january (the samsung khan head coach) and spring (former gomtv/gsl caster).

I just want to note, in 2018 IN THIS THREAD (tl.net) we had quite a discussion about SC:R ladder system, amount of maps, amount of bans, and I made 2 arguements and they went unanswered because you showed up in that exact moment with your Mastery system and explanations.

And 6.5 years later, they are still unanswered and you are still here, and I find that amusing.

Anyone have any stats on PvT at the top levels recently?

Terrans seem to be having a very hard time winning against the mass shuttle/storm play style. Curious if the stats back that up or just bias from the games I’ve seen recently.

Not sure about what the recent stats are, but that style has been in play for at least 5 years, so if you saw Terran having a hard time recently with it, it's probably just from the selected games you've seen.

ackchually, its a little over 4 years. Best brought it into play at the end of 2020 in november. He was near unbeatable vs terrans for a good two months. its specifically terrans struggling against the fast expo tosses now.

fortressing is: creating map control: example

Terran using siege tanks and Goliath to create a territory where the opponent cannot get past

it can be used to block in or defend areas


I've seen players do this with siege tanks and missile turrets

I’ve seen Protoss players build photon cannons too. It is definitely a strategy.
