EPTI guessss if you're playing against an arbiter heavy protoss in a game where you're both rich, it's probably worth it.

I noticed that there is a delay whenever I click on the gateway/rax/fac and then press the hotkey for a unit. I have to wait a half a second and only then will it register and start producing the unit. It's not instant. is this normal? I tried different computers and keyboards, there is a delay for all of them. this makes it very slow whenever I have to produce units. is there method so that I can do this faster? this has happened to me and its why i stopped playing sc. i never found out the cause of this but some combination of OS selection and hardware selection is my guess. my mouse moves faster than its supposed to and keys dont register inputs unless i deliberately put effort into "pausing" before each key. i know its not an issue with the way i play, because on computers that dont have this issue i play perfectly fine. | ||

Dragoons are good somewhat but they keep getting stuck in buildings & minerals trying to chase harrasing mutas so I'm running out of options. +1 Corsair, 2 Stargates if you really want to shut it down hard but it might make you vulnerable to a tech switch. | ||

It's counter-intuitive, because Zerg is supposed to be the fast-expanding race, so you'd think that an easy 3rd would help them. But then the P or T can just match them in expansions really easily, and then where do they go? 3 vs 3 bases is not a good fight for Zerg. I suppose they can go for a 4th, but there's no clear timing for it, and it's even harder to defend. Most of the above also applies to Protoss in PvT, too. What are you supposed to do when you need an extra base, but your opponent can easily match your base count? | ||

you need a critical mass of hydras before you can move out, and while you're doing that the muta player is going to be picking stuff off and/or forcing static d while droning/expanding | ||

I played a ladder game this season against some guy who was going hydra, and he did it fairly competently. By the time he had a hydra army capable of contesting my mutaling army, I had 3 bases to his two, and both lurkers and dark swarm to defend with. | ||

Picture this: The lights in my room are off and the only brightness in my room is the illumination of my monitors. Dusk has far approached my house, and my windows only show darkness and the occasional star in the sky. I can hear cars whizzing past the street down the road every few minutes. Some motorcycles as well. My stress ball sits to the left of my keyboard, which I deem my "angry hand". I'm matched against a Terran... my favorite type of opponent. After a 30 minute battle of intense warfare, my keyboard stops working. My natural is trampled by the Terran. Then my main is demolished. I try to type "go fuck yourself cunt" but the words don't come out. Right, my keyboard. All of a sudden I feel something fuzzy touch my leg. Who is it, but my white fuzzy cat? She has the keyboard cord laying on top of her and she is wiggling and is in a playful mood. My first instinct is to kick her across my room like Dan Bailey going for a game winning field goal. Then I remember my stress ball. Without looking, I reach to my left and grasp in my hand the first spherical object I can. I give it a huge squeeze. Wetness. Juice running all the way down my arm and leg. My table is soaked in a pulpy aftermath. I forgot I had placed a peach on my desk a few games prior to snack on. | ||
