In a PvP, if the other player goes for a gateway-forge fast expand, what build would be best to counter it. I am hesitating between some sort of 3 gate reaver bust, or using superior map presence to aggressively out-expand the other player.


It's pretty rare to face ffe in PvP. 12 nex into 2 gate 5 zeal into tech + cannon is quite common.

If you scout it you can just expand and you will be on par if not ahead economically because you are not going to build cannons.

It was only MBC http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=278574 unless there was another link. Use search next time, it was the first link if you looked for "torrent"

newb question: how can i use make use of the function keys in bw (f1-f4)? If i press those, the menue of sc pops up T_T; I think shift+f1-f4 keys doesnt really work? only for one key ;X

edit: ah, ive been using the wlauncher now for the first time! f1 doesnt open up the menue anymore. with shift+f2/f3/f4 u can select locations. I'll test this out in 1v1
It does not need to be fun to be fun.

F1 has never worked (to my knowledge) it's F2-F4.

yup only f2-f4 and wlauncher disables f1 so u dont accidentally open the menu.

Question:
if you open 3 hatch spire in standard ZvT, in what order do you get hydra den, 3rd expansion, evo chamber, and queen nest? I've seen some people get a den as early as when you get spire to fake out the Terran. Sometimes I see people get den and then expansion right after 9 mutas pop (I believe this is standard). Sometimes I see people get an early expansion even though mutas are not out yet. Or sometimes people will get expansion first and then den, or other way around. At times I see people go for queen nest right away into hive after the expansion is up and lurkers are at ramps (passive zerg style). And then we have the evo chamber, why does a player choose to get upgrades in ZvT when he does?

Can you vets explain the reasoning behind getting these buildings in different situations? Thank you!

Golgotha please post those questions in a new thread in the strategy section because I think its a crime when huge amounts of quality advice get buried in this thread. Its certainly not something I would call a simple question and I think its an important enough topic to warrant its own thread.

Yeah got banned...

I was discussing some progame with Bakuryu over Skype when I found out that I was blacklisted for calling Gecko out for banning people in that one Pucca thread. + Show Spoiler +

Quick basic question:

When calculating the max damage for morph's adaptive strike, does it include the stat bonuses that items give you in the calculation, or does it only use his base stats?

There are a bunch of upgrades no one ever gets. Scout sight range upgrade as well as queen energy comes to mind first, but there are a bunch of others. However, I've learned the hard way that observer speed is actually a valuable upgrade. Which of the other upgrades are underrated (please don't answer scout sight range)?

Everybody gets defiler energy upgrade in ZvT, you can plague + swarm with it... Obs speed and sight range can be good, and maelstrom can be good in specific situations (against muta or very late game).
