(or is it actually no difference in timing) Liquid`Drone summed it up, but I think I can add one more thing: it also has something to do with larva: 12 hat minimizes idle larva time; 11 hat makes the third larva after the overlord idle for a while and you'll have more than 300 minerals before placing the hat at 13, unless you pull a drone early, which somewhat nullifies what little advantage the 13 hat might have given you over the 12 hat. | ||

Yea, I love doing this just to make Zerg pull their Drones and cost him a lot in mining time while getting up my own CC for free. | ||

What is the difference between a Stargate Opening Into +1 Speedlot/Archon Attack http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Plus1_Zealot/Archon_Timing_Attack_(vs._Zerg) versus The 4 Gate, 2 Archon Build (aka The Bible Build) http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/4_Gate_2_Archon ? Seems like the same build to me. | ||

Out of Korean Protoss players, I find Best to be one of the more standard macro-oriented players to watch. For more attainable goals, I would suggest Dewalt replays from the foreign scene. | ||

Seems like the same build to me. The +1 Zealot/Archon page was probably created in response to the general attack force itself; it was a popular way of playing off of even 1 base in the pre-FFE era, and you can see this reflected in the build order paths offered. The 4 Gate 2 Archon page seems to focus entirely on the modern FFE era. There is bound to be overlap between the two, but my guess is the latter is more "current" and "relevant," although neither build is as popular nowadays as the alternatives. | ||

I assign some units to let's say 1. Then, I assign different units to 1. Then some time later either 1 is totally unassigned, either, even weirder, 1 is back to the original assignment! Makes no sense I know, but I've encountered this problem too many times to be simply a random mistake. | ||

Makes no sense I know, but I've encountered this problem to many times to be simply a random mistake. Yes this also happens to me but it is not very common. Happened to me yesterday (noticeably) once in like 20 games but it really messed me up because I had a maxed Terran army all hotkeyed up. I thought it had to do with dropping inputs somehow, idk. | ||

I had this happen to me in the past. Drove me must until I figured out I was accidentally just slightly hitting the control button with my palm. | ||

Provided there are seasons... To start with I would expect a bit of a mix between old reliables like FS and some newer maps. Who knows, they might throw in some nostalgic maps like LT  | ||

All English casts were done by community members, and they never did EVERY match since there were too many to cast. Another bad thing is that the quality of the videos is probably bad (some better than others, but expect 360p, 480p, sometimes worse especially for games from early to mid 2000s). The community casters (from SC2GG.com might still have their YouTube accounts with their videos up. Here are some of their names: NuketheStars Psyonic_Reaver (active here in TL forums) Moletrap Diggity Klazart Cholera I feel like I'm missing some but Idk. | ||
