I do it so often in TvZ, never thought it could be banned.. another thing is to use your own gas to pass through enemy units blocking the ramp.

Can someone dig that replay where LancerX's (or another russian protoss?) zealot kills two marines with one hit?

edit: I think there was also a thread about it, if someone can link to it would be great.
Enjoy the game

haha ok, on ICCup though it seems forbidden
3.2 Illegal bugs
• Gas Walk, to get through blocked entrances or ramps (an incredibly common Bug, using a shift-click on gas near opponent’s blocked entrance to slide through any Unit)
• Shift-Queue to slide through any Unit blocking the ramp (mostly used at beginning with the first scouting)

I used to report if it happens^^ I dont use it ofc
maybe I just get confused and there is a way to shift queue without vision to get through too


it most likely the same thing, just that on iccup it is forbidden but it was allowed in kespa

It's like how obs over turret is banned on iccup but you saw people like Stork do it all the time in pro games since it is really easy to deal with.

ASL Teamleague is starting up soonish. They are probably waiting for SC:R to be out. ASL 4 comes after that.

How do pros use irradiate on different lurkers / units so quick when they have a group of science vessels selected? Also when mutas are stacked and one is irradiated how do they split them so quickly?

"Cloning," which is just rapidly shift-deselecting the icons on the bottom and re-issuing the command after you split off each Vessel.

For Mutalisks, sometimes Zerg legitimately hotkey their Mutalisks 1-9 or something like that (1 has 11, 2 has 10, 3 has 9, etc.) and just do # right click on the minimap when they are running from Corsair. Sometimes they just try to manually split them by selecting, spreading, and seeing which Mutalisk's health is falling fastest I think. Other times they use cloning as mentioned above.

edit: even if you fare well in many situations with what I wrote, check out Atom[Bomb]'s post below for detailed explanation

It's not really a trick behind it, it's just moving the vessel precisely, changing direction right before the scourge would hit.

Scourges have a bit of a delay on their turn if they're chasing something without being microed individually reaquire their target and interception vector once per second, so if you change direction with e.g. the chased vessel or drosphip when the scourges are really close right after the scourge reaquired your vessel/dropship as target, the scourges will travel on for 0.5/1 sec or so one second, giving your vessel the chance to make (a little) distance in another direction. Oftentimes this is enough for marines to shoot the scourges.

I think you can practice this by yourself if you open up a game with all 3 races, you Protoss, and mind-control a worker of Z and T and recreate the situation manually. Or use a unit-test-map if that exists for BW.

Hi there!

We all know that for Terran 1 rax FE is the best build for learning. I wanted to ask what is the exact build order, since there seem to be 2 variations...?
One that seems kinda safer and is less likely to die to early zealot pressure for example. Its @9 depot @11 rax @ 14 depot (constantly pump both scvs and marines) and @18 CC .. afterwards rafinery and stuff.

The second goes @9 depot @11 rax (which doesnt produce any marines till u finish 2nd supply) @14 CC @16 depot (constant production of scvs but not a single marine untill ~18 supply).
I reject your reality and substitute my own

I don't think that Terran 1 rax FE is the best build for learning in TvP, to be honest. I think that honor goes to FD.

In TvZ at least, the variant you opt for is dependent on what you scout/when you scout.

Other than cloning fast, it's important to use scans (usually at the zerg natural/3rd), so you can see any scourge and start cloning before you go in, so you have more time to get it right

Close but not fully correct.

The scourge reacquires their target and interception vector once per second.
If you turn your unit JUST before the scourge calculates the new interception vector, it WILL continue along that patch for 1 second.

If you look closely, you can easily see when and at what frequency a scourge is reacquiring it's target/interception vector. Just keep a mental timer (1.. 2.. 3.. Turn! 1... 2... 3... Turn! 1... 2... 3... Turn!).

Thanks for the insight. I corrected my post (not without giving you credit).

But don't you mean "JUST after"? - because I'd doubt it takes the second to acquire (calculate) the new target, this happens in an instant every second (no?)...

Hey XenOsky- could you please possibly tell me how to download the fish ladder map pack for the fish server? I know the website I just don't know how to find the fish ladder map pack.

Never mind I figured out how to download the fish ladder map packs it's under Clan/League then League Official Map. Then click the Title links to download each map individually.

I try to play protoss first the first time, Terran got a little stale. HOW DO you guys do it? I started putting my nexi on 9 0 because I have to hit P every so often. That means I am less inclined to use the F keys. Then I put my gateways on 8 7 6, now when I want to move my army I feel like playing the piano, my teeny-tiny hands hurt, probably not manly enough to play them efficiently

Any hints, other than to man up? ;>

Typically one would turn twice in rapid succession.

First turn is to fool the scourge interception vector(just before the calculation).
The second turn is to fly away and maximize distance from the scourge(just after the calculation).

Just to clarify, the calculation is instant, it happens once per second and the scourge will follow it's calculated vector until next time it calculates(which is about for 1 second).

Thanks for creds! I think I might publish a detailed guide on scourge ai on liquipedia for future reference.

Hope it's not a problem but I have 3 short questions:

1) Is ICCup still more active and more competive than its bnet counterparts?
2) Is it objectively better for a new player to start out on ICCup or is it an either/or situation?
3) Does anyone know how the 1.18 anti-hack/anti-cheat system compares to those incorporated in the mca launcher and the standard iccup launcher?
