3 hatch before pool vs 3 hatch before pool, now how often do you see that? Seriously thiugh if you scout your opponent first in ZvZ and you are both doing 12 hatch, is 3 hatch before pool legit or was that phased out over time because it couldn't transition well? | ||

I don't play protoss as much, mostly terran but the control group layout isn't that different: 1- zealots (marines) 2- zealots/dragoons (marines) 3- dragoons/other units (medics) 4- hts (tanks) 5- arbiters (science vessels) In general, zealots first in control groups then dragoons etc... The bigger the army gets, the more control groups you need and I usually just shift them down. sorry, haven't played starbow. Only thing I know is that you still have some SCII units in SB but I'm not sure which ones they decided to leave in it. | ||

I watched a replay with tsunami when he did something like that. 6 vs 9 on LT. Used to be very standard knowledge in ZvZ that you always wanna build your spawning pool just a little after your opponent. If both players think this it has a predictable result. You've got to have overlords spotting for it though, or to be scouting with a drone or else you can get caught off guard. It's a situation where you were both intending to go 12h or 12p and you both spawned in locations that can be scouted by overlord extremely quickly. It's not actually that big a deal tho cause you just build a drone or two after your spawning pool finishes while the person who delayed their pool feels pressured to get lings asap. You might as well just do the build the way you practiced, which is why this situation never really happened in pro games. I think the more interesting play in this situation is to take your gas first and see how your opponent reacts. | ||

(Modesty ovie went wrong way.) Also to thezanursic, another creative way of playing this situation out is to just get an early evo chamber for +1. | ||

Did only SKT, Khan take it seriously? Also why is there so little information on IEF available, did TL just not care about it at the time? | ||
