I'm assuming your 4th paragraph got them backwards...I think Bisu build works nicely...also the "macro" openin I believe would be FFE and 1 Rax FE...

Guys, you are asking so many questions and it is apparent that you need some advice but you are not sure what advice would be most beneficial in my opinion. Well, this is my advice:
Click here; http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/maps/546_Neo_Ground_Zero
Now click on the match up that you want to learn.
Then watch the 10 or so games in order, first to last. Write down the order that the buildings are made in for both players(side by side).
Then watch the games again and write down the order the units are made.
Then watch them again and visualize what one player can see.
Then come back and ask some questions by all means, but I really think this will help you lots!

Then do it for these 3 maps too

Why do I sometimes see Zergs place spawning pool directly under their geyser? I assume it would be to decrease the surface area of the pool so that it won't get sniped as easily, but won't this manner/at least slow down gas mining rates?
I was wondering in what situations would Zergs do this, and why? Thanks

edit:
question-if you rally click on a unit, will the rally go to the unit or the ground underneath the unit?

I am surprised that you haven't lost your citizenship yet...

It can actually increase gas mining rates if you place it correctly, depending on the map and position of the geyser.

Well the games I saw it was directly under the geyser, not offset at all. and it was with Fighting Spirit style mains

somewhat an urban legend. it's supposed to slightly increase mining rate of gas. but ive often found it delaying the mining rate and it also blocks an important sunken spot. u technically have to test every position on each map to find out if its worth it.

Yah is rather place a spire or sunken there which is why I was confused why some Zergs placed their pool there...

Hello!

Is there some sort of viewport mod for starcraft, where you can alter the viewports? For example size?

Ah think ah seen some games (casts/videos) where the observers where having the viewport showing more of the map. There was some sort of jumper vs someone video on holy world on youtube for example, but ah couldnt find that now.

You mean the user interface? I believe you were answered in your other topic. There are resolution mods to increase the viewing resolution, and you can mod the UI yourself.

Is there a nice ladder system for BW? Im top 8 silver leauge at Hots ATM. Whould i become a cumrag with 5% win if i try to play some kind of BW ladder or are there equally good players?

I play random btw.

Random might make it hard for you to find opponents on ICCup because a lot of people will NOT play vs. a random player because of cheese and BO bullshit. Don't bother trying fish until you can at least hold D. And your win% will be 0 until you fall to keyboard level most likely.

You should check out GameRanger as well. It's a server that is accessed through a client you download. There are usually at least 5-6 games running at any time, and often 10-20 or more. This server has a lot of terribad players on it and only a handful of "ok" D players, and maybe only the top 2% are above D+.

D players = Diamond players?¨

Imma check out Tunggle and Garena first i think.
Then ill check out GameRanger.

I usually watch Snipealot2 on twitch.tv, is that ICCup ladder or is it battle.net? Do i have any chance if i try to connect to their ladder.

snipealot streams almost always Fish players, who are korean. It's much more difficult for beginners to get on there, try iCCup first.

On iCCup ladder the ranking is by letter grades, E being the worst then D then C then B then A...and there's + and -...so D is like 800-1999 points, D+ is 2000-2999 points, etc with 1000 points separating each grade

Hey, I was wondering where I can get BW music for free and legally? I got Starcraft off iCCup and it'd be nice to have music while I play...
Also, how do Terrans determine where to place their first Barracks when 1 Rax FEing against Zerg?

What I do for TvZ 1 rax FE is my first rax will usually indicate where my future turrets will be placed. So place it near your ramp usually. Just watch progamer vods to confirm where to place it each map.
