Right now i only know to not write "gg" before leave a game Get the old FlaSh build on the go, four early game goliaths to stop any incoming shuttles and go for 2-1 upgrades asap to tame those early carriers. Look for old Vods to see it in action. | ||

Did you scout anything? Or not? What kind of ribo into carriers? 2 base 2 gate ribo -> 2 base carriers? | ||

Get a turret ring around your base and keep 1-2 tanks near the ramp, unsieged... or get less turrets, but place them sieged tanks strategically in your base. If you opened FD you can even keep marines at the edge of the base. It would be easier to reply to a replay. If you see him stay on two base for long you should add more factories and be ready for possible fast carriers/arbiters. (You should be constantly scanning or trying to run in vultures.) Then you push earlier when you scout carriers. | ||

I am a D- player and I have been playing again on Fish. I think I got slower because I lost 15 straight even if I was ahead. I just can't seem to move as fast as before so I am having a hard timing microing and macroing at the same time. I am zerg. Could you guys give me some general tips on what to FOCUS on in low level zvp and zvt for someone who has low apm? Right now, I feel like I try to be everywhere at once but it is really making me play erratically and panicky. I'd rather start by focusing on the basics right now, even if it means moving a bit slower. Some general advice on what kind of game I should be playing would help and of course some good solid build orders! Love you guys. Golgotha | ||

Golgotha I personally like learning all-ins/cheeses first because you can repeat the same build over and over again in a short period of time, so you don't need to think about the timings after a while and just focus on doing the same things faster and faster. So that'd be 2hatch lurker or muta in ZvT, hydra bust ZvP, and anything ZvZ. | ||

By how much should I delay my 3rd to be safe versus a 4 fact? | ||

By how much should I delay my 3rd to be safe versus a 4 fact? In general you want to have 3-4 gates and a shuttle which you can load up with zealots might he 4-fact push you. Delay your third until you've got around a control group of goons with obs and a shuttle with zealots. But only wait this long if you know he is going to push you | ||

By how much should I delay my 3rd to be safe versus a 4 fact? how early is early? if you went 1 gate core and got the third before robo, this is only effective and safe if he went for 1 rax fe. usually going for 3rd before robo is very risky but works really well against 1 rax fe because of the lack of mines early on. but usually if it is 4 factories, you shouldn't really have a lot of trouble stopping the push. a replay would be best because normally the 6-gateway count is made when you are maynarding probes to the third.. citadel after 4th gate and should really be no problem against a 4 fac. | ||

As always, I recommend learning any of the protoss matchups from the replays in zimp's thread. Anytime's gameplay is very solid and will take you far if you carefully look at the replay. Even just blindly copying the build orders for now will be useful. Having a solid build order and keeping up with macro will get you out of C- even with minimal micro, especially as protoss  | ||

Also on a related note, does +1 Flyet Attack affect scourge? | ||

And another thing that's giving me trouble is vP mid/lategame. How exactly do I go against a zealot goon storm (especially the storm part) army? | ||

My reasoning is that since they were both on 1 base 1 hatch they had gas left over and not enough larva, but also not enough gas for carapace? An I wrong? Is there another reason behind this? Also on a related note, does +1 Flyet Attack affect scourge? Attack is cheaper and finishes quicker so you will see people get it instead sometimes. And also like you just said, the attack helps a lot vs scourge as it helps with the bounce damage. Cara doesn't really do much vs scourge in this situation. | ||

Now this will sound stupid, but since it's quite hard to just run up the ramp and win (because tanks), how do I effectively siege / attack my opponent, so the games won't last 50 minutes, if they don't leave? And another thing that's giving me trouble is vP mid/lategame. How exactly do I go against a zealot goon storm (especially the storm part) army? Swarm is AMAZING ;o and drops are pretty good too. If you can show some reps of this situation then it's easier to identify exactly what you're doing wrong in breaking him down. Storm is all about stormdodging with your units, and splitting stuff up so that you don't lose everything to storm. Sniping high templars is always good too but good toss will get storms off first so it's not going to win you the game just sniping some HT, but basically keep your units somewhat separated and be ready to move them out of storm/dodge storm. You can actually beat zlot goon storm with pure hydra, but you can put in lurkers lings muta too. Later on switch to more lurker ling ultra hydra style play, probably. I'm D+ only so keep that in mind that I don't know everything about this ;o | ||

How exactly do I go against a zealot goon storm (especially the storm part) army? guardians + some devourers for wraiths work great at low level also if you follow the old 3hat spire -> 5hat hydra guide that was posted on TL in like 08/09, you get a control group of mutas at 90ish supply and use that to snipe HT storm is the only part of toss army that threatens zerg. if toss doesn't have it, your hydra army will stomp his, so you just want to bait and dodge storms | ||
