EPTSometimes they even join my games, then after the game is started, the say: "Not fs sry" and quit.
Or this "go re on fs or python". Why play only two maps, (which are actually at least boring)?

Or this "go re on fs or python". Why play only two maps, (which are actually at least boring)? Because those are the maps that people feel most comfortable on and enjoy the most. A lot of people can't be bothered learning other maps since there are so many of them. It's also a bit of a catch 22, people that are willing to learn and play other maps may not bother since most others aren't and won't join their game/play those maps. I don't know why they would only realise that the map isn't FS after the game has started though, they can see what map you're using before they even join you're games, they're just being stupid or not paying any attention. | ||

Like, Valley of Wind, Paradoxxx, Discovery, Asgard, Triatlon, etc. With different passages, long and narrow paths, weird, but cool layout, etc. Or may be maps which force you to go unusual units and spells (say, scouts or medics with their optical flare, etc.) In general, more micro-oriented maps which require much thinking and mind play. thx | ||

Depending on a player's experience figuring out how to wall in your main/natural properly can take more effort than people might want to expend. It's not so bad if you've got the cheat sheet:  http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/List_of_Unit_and_Building_Sizes | ||

His 5th or 6th expansions or go straight for the heart in the main base. Obviously the circumstances will vary from game to game but in general do I go for his production or his resources. Maybe whichever ones are on/near the path to P's main/natural, since the Terran army doesn't have great mobility? | ||

I usually produce goons and reavers for too long, whereas my opponents make hts and I lose. When is the breaking point, when it's clear that it's about time to make ht? Also, if the opponent omits reavers and goes directly to ht, should I do the same, or it's better to still stick to goon-reaver? Another question is when should I begin to make arbiters in PvT. Thanks | ||

1) I can't find links to muta micro maps that actually seem to work (I downloaded one from a link on liquipedia but the triggers didn't seem to activate). Where can I find one, and/or what are other ways to practice? 2) My worker micro is all but non-existent, both game-start splits and stacking. Any particular tips, or just practice? 3) The basic map editor is pretty limited; what's the current standard for mapping? | ||

Make sure you remember to use USE MAP SETTINGS setting, the first muta map may only be played in multiplayer I believe. 1) Muta Micro Map1 Muta Micro Map2 2) Split Training Map stacking is just selecting all going to another mineral patch, then pressing stop if you want to block something, otherwise practice. 3) Sorry have to ask someone more familiar with mapping these days, but SCM Draft was always good. | ||

I usually push to the nearest base, because it is faster and you are closer to react to a full counter attack. If his main is close to you he will still lose some income when you kill his natural. By the time your first max push occurs, his natural should usually still have some resources left. From there on you can contain his main and proceed to kill his other bases. | ||
