This would be the same as a protoss putting down a cannon based on what they scout. Lings out on the map are nice, but saving 3 larva for drones is huge. | ||

I would love to know what you would add/adjust/remove from the nlist. I think the extra larva is the most important thing here. 2 base muta/lurker isn't really a thing if we are talking about pro level (although Julia has shown a very nice 2 base lurker play but still doesn't need such fast 2nd gas). I think the whole point of 12hatch is to get the additional larva (compared to overpool) against a gate first since the first zealot can be dealt with without any drone losses. That's why we have been seeing it lately (it was almost never seen 1-2 years ago), as a response to the now standard one gate opening Also, early game sunken is bad for standard ZvP since you will have 2 places to defend anyway and it's a big investment(delays 3rd hatch so much) | ||

Seems like that is when 12 hatch would have reaped more benefits. | ||

12 hatch vs FFE (without protoss slapping down useless cannon(s) ) tends to have protoss getting super fast tech and zerg actually being stuck on 2 bases longer than if they overpooled - the lack of forced early cannon or zealot gives them a super fast cyber core, which leads to z having to sacrifice either a fast third or fast tech. When protoss goes gate first and applies zealot pressure, they themselves delay their tech, so you don't get the same issue. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/korean/players/75_CCoMa There is a different Ccoma in the TLPD, but since he has no game entries there I'm not sure how legit it is. Edit: Poster above me already answered himself  | ||

Edit: Poster above me already answered himself Thanks anyways for helping out. He has no game entries because he only played 2v2's his whole career  I tagged the wrong CComa like 30 times on LP on the Proleague sites | ||

I guess there's a possibility that you somehow wrote /f off and then you no longer get friend messages? At least on iccup I don't think you can have friend messages but not have enter/leave notifications, but I think /f off or /f on turns both on or off. | ||

At least on iccup I don't think you can have friend messages but not have enter/leave notifications, but I think /f off or /f on turns both on or off. That's the problem, I have friends on-line, but I don't get messages about their activity on iccup. They create/join/leave games, and no message comes, although the persone is for sure in my friend-list, for as I type /f l they are in the list. I remember that like a year ago I had these messages. I also remember that once I was typing random commands and somehow enabled this thing, that tells you about everyone who joins and leaves the channel. I couldn't switch it off, and that was very annoying, so I wrote in chat how do I switch that off? Sbd told me a command, and it all stopped. Idk if this is connected with the issue that I've got now, but may be I have somehow blocked all the messages and here is the result. I also tried /f on and /f off, but it did not work. Guess I'll have to reinstal the launcher, then | ||

ohhh, that's enter/leave notifications, not relating to your friend list. I don't remember how to turn those on and off but it's a simple key command, I'll try to figure it out. No need to reinstall anything. Edit: press Alt-V and it should be fixed! thank you that you tried, but that wasn't the thing I was looking for I just want to know, when my friends show up. I can type /f o from time to time, but other people simply get notifications, and I don't for some reason. Also, I reinstalled and to no result. Gotta put up with it, I guess | ||

Are you sure that they added at their friend list as well? If you add them but they don't, you won't receive any notification oh here it is. I just changed my account, added my friends, and that was it. Thank you very much | ||
