I've just seen a 2v2 where a zerg sets his spawning pool in his teammate's base. How useful that can be ? i mean i think it can be used to cheese, but still the other zerg looks like he is doing the first zerg real Bo ( if they are doing 9p and 12p the opponents will see a 12p and 9p so...idk)

it's not good you waste a bunch of mining time doing that and generally both mains are scouted anyway so it doesn't matter

Not sure if its the right place to be asking this but does anyone still have the old Open Rebellion mod. You its the Star Wars one. It looks sick and I want to try it out.

I noticed while watching the Movie vs Tyson FPVOD ArvickHero recorded, that occasionally Movie would use his mouse to click-train command for zealots during the midgame (eg. 12:30) instead of using the shortcut key 'z.' I'm guessing he does this for gateways that are hotkeyed to the higher numbers. Is this common or something unique to his play (or am I missing something here?)

it's semi common, it's a little bit faster to 5click6click7click instead of 5z6z7z
i know nada does it a lot too, i haven't watched many fpvods recently though

Haven't played on iccup for awhile, but my starting ping is 222 and when I go into game menu its +600. In game its +600 as well which makes it irritating to play on. I am still portforwarded as far as I know.

What do I need to do to drop the ping or is there nothing?

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't believe your ping matters at all if you're using lan latency through Antihack Launcher. Your ping to the server can be shit, but what matters is your connection to the other player.

Hm. So it would be a case to case basis then? I just happened to play against someone that we didn't have a good connection? It just seems weird that it would jump from 200 to 600 in the menu.

Ping jumping randomly happens to me all the time, but it doesn't affect lag in game. Just make sure you both have Antihack on.

In TvP Why do many Terrans wait until they have 250 minerals, and then build their refinery and barracks at the same time? What is the benefit?

You get a bit more mining time and you start your factory at the same time.

I'm so dumb, lol. Of course you get more mining time this way. Thank you though.

Is the sunken range glitch, http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=96786 allowed in progames and most tournaments and iccup? Like if the Zerg gets cannon rushed, is he purposely allowed to place the sunken for the range glitch or is he required to place it where it can't abuse that at risk of a penalty if he does?
