Thanks it depends on whats happened in the game. outcomes of any engagements as well as the state of ur bases will determine whether u can make a tech jump or whether you should use the same tech tree for faster impact. normally the timings are 2 base -> forge for basic cannon defense against drop -> citadel -> templar archives -> leg speed -> storm you get hts with whatever gas you can spare after your archives has finished. dont be afraid to make your first couple of hts into archons. dont forget +1 weapons upgrade too, though the timing of that will depend on whether you want to fight with ht and storm or archons and leg speed never stop midway through a tech tree and switch. if he goes ht stick to your guns and get reavers. at 1 reaver or 2 reaver you can go for a timing push. generally if they opt for dt/ht tree straight away they have 2ish storms by the time you hit their front door with 2 reavers. arbiter timings are too general. best way to put it would just be as soon as you can afford it | ||

I guess the question speaks to a broader issue of exactly how range is calculated. Is it from the center of a unit's 'box' to the center of another unit or building's 'box', or is it from the center of a unit's box to the nearest edge of another unit or building's box? Could it even be from the nearest box edge of the firing unit to the nearest box edge of what's being fired at? Urk. If it's the first of these three, then everything's golden. If it's the second, weirdness may be possible with non-square buildings like the bunker(??). If it's the third, then I guess it's golden there too? Reposting this question because I don't know the answer and would be interested to see if anybody does. | ||

 Central Plains is a contender for the most Protossy of Protoss maps ever to be Protossed in Protoss. I mean, processed in Proleague. All teams would only send Protoss on this map, and those few that went against this trend were not rewarded. Question is, why? What features exactly made Central Plains into such a Protoss map? | ||

Few avenues of ground attack (natural nat have Sim city while one tiny ramp for 3rd/4th) Hard for zerg to pressure i think toss can take the back door as their first nat so things like 3 hatch hydra/2fact would have crazy tough time getting through the small ramp In pvt terran is more vulnerable to recall with more angles to cover for terran (a property of most 3 player map) Lack of abusable terrain for tanks edit: ok found a winner interview where Best talked a little about this map http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/167145-interview-2010-11-7-skt-vs-wemade-winners | ||

Almost certain it's the 3rd option, "from the nearest box edge of the firing unit to the nearest box edge of what's being fired at". I assume this because of looking at Dragoons vs Marines in a Bunker. Marines seem to gain range while in a bunker because the bunker is larger with a larger surface area. Whereas when lining up Dragoons vs a Bunker (when they have range obviously), you can have 4-6 or whatever firing from one line / direction at the bunker and the further Dragoons (on the sides of the line) naturally have a longer firing animation even though their range is the same. | ||

Thanks If you usually go Goon / Reaver, congratulations, you play the most solid opener in PvP and should win more than you lose. That being said, the time to transition to HT's is HIGHLY situational. Some maps (like Blue Storm) actually highly favors HT openings. Generally speaking though, if you are going reaver/goon, you should be aiming to hit a timing attack at 1 or 2 reavers depending on what your opponent is doing. If your opponent is doing the same thing as you, you can take an earlier expansion and use your army defensively by setting up a great defensive position giving yourself a high chance of crushing any attack (instant win) or thwarting their thoughts of attacking (them running home to take their expansion) and the game progresses with you having an earlier expansion / a timing window in a few minutes. Usually the game will end before HT's get involved. However, if the game doesn't end within the first battle or two of Goon/Reavers, the game usually progresses to 3 base vs 3 base. When you are at the point of having 3 base, it's good to just set-up your army in a nicely trade-able way, set-up your infastructure at home (many gateways / Templar archives / zealot speed), and engage in a battle that you trade well in. Then just flood with speedlots, archons, high templars and try to over run them. If you are encountering a lot of games in which you lose to HT's, it's probably because you are sitting back with your Good/Reaver army and not recognizing timing attack possibilities to end the game or aren't willing to trade armies. HT's generally don't get involved unless a player feels confident that they aren't at risk of dying during the transition to high temps. If a player goes HT first (usually with an expansion), you can evelator lift dragoons and reavers into their main with good effectiveness, you can pressure the front, or you can simply expand, macro like crazy, and use your goons / reavers to contain them / reaver drop harass. In this contain situation, you can even make 4 reavers, spread them out (to reduce psi storm damage) and have a super contain on them since what they are coming out with most likely is speedlots, ht's, and archons which Reavers own. Just need to watch for storm drops. Hope this gives you a few ideas. Everything is so situational depending on their build, the map, positions, etc... it's hard to explain but I just hope this helps a tad. GL. | ||

Poland and USA I would probably put near the top. I would maybe rate usa above poland but its close. Things changed a LOT after sc2 though as you all know. Usa probably sucks now lolol. China is definitely second place under Korea. The rest of the big countries probably swapped places a lot. Usa and korea were always in the top 3 countries on iccup though lolol | ||

Based purely on WCG Medal Results 1. Korea too many medals 2. Russia 1 Silver 1 Bronze 1 Copper 2. Germany 1 Silver 1 Bronze 1 Copper 3. France 1 Silver 1 Bronze 4. China 1 Silver 4 Copper 5. Poland 1 Bronze 1 Copper 5. Ukraine 1 Bronze 1 Copper 6. Bulgaria 1 Bronze 6. Australia 1 Bronze 6. Canada 1 Bronze Source: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/World_Cyber_Games#WCG_StarCraft:_BroodWar_Winners I know WCG is very flawed cause format may or may not knock out Koreans in earlier stages, I'd still rank China as 2nd as PJ getting a Silver by beating Savior and also nearly beating Bisu in one of the later WCGs really was incredibly skillful. I could not find a category in Liquipedia that only displays foreigner tournaments and no useful way to compare without opening up hundreds of tournament pages, maybe someone else will have more luck. Based on purely personal perception 1. Korea 2. China 3. Russia 4. Canada or Poland 5. Germany or Ukraine | ||
