Another question : on iCCup, after hosting a game, what is the command that makes your game only available for people equal or below xxxx points, with xxxx is the number of ladder point you type in. For example, I want to make my game only available for people who have less than 1700 points, what is the command for this ? Thanks It's /RL "Points"(Setting minimum rank limit) "Points" (Setting maximum rank limit) So in your case it's "/Rl 1000 1700" | ||

I usually open overpool but have no idea whether the opponent is going forge FE/2 gate / 1 gate tech. if the opponent is going 2 gate me should I go for 2 hatch before gas or 3 hatch before gas? yup. 4 player maps in general require drone scouting and make sure you find him and know his type of strategy before you plant the third hatch. if 2 gate or 1 base, it is usually good to plant 3rd hatch before gas and keep making lings to zealot count. if you find him expanding, go and get a third base and drone. the danger with opening overpool on python is that since 2 gates are really common and you will be larvae capped with overpool for a while, a good toss won't attack until he has around 5 zealots and brings along 2-3 probes. if you see with his overlord that he is collecting zealots, then you need to make lings will all your larvae. it is good to check his gas timing as well. | ||

If they go marine all in I can scout it and it seems so easy to hold as protoss, and if not you know theyre fast expanding so i can safely expanding knowing there's no early push that could kill me. I just find at my level i usually win macro PvT games so if I can force my opponent into playing a macro game I will. @littlefighter are you defining normal scout timing as after gateway? my above comment was for after pylon scout, yeah i agree that a gas steal after gateway scout would probably seem pointless as gas should be up if they weren't going for quick expo. | ||

edit: Alright, I think my micro isn't good enough to win with two gate pressure so I'll go practice it. If I don't win with it though, terran gets a huge economy x_x | ||

If you get the gas steal, and they dont put a gas at the nat, steal that too, and do a 4 gate like stork. It seems cheesy, but it works so well. If he throw up bunkers like mad, you can cut goons and double expo . If they throw up bunkers without saturating them with marines, attack anyways. It was aztec iirc. | ||

Isn't this leave you vurnerable to a maine/medic/scv timing push when you have no templars/reavers to defend ? If the terran gets both of his gas stolen, his reaction must be to throw barracks like crazy (since that's his only option lol) and prepare for some kind of deep six, and you cannot scout that at all. So when he scans toss double expand and attack with his bio toss can be screwed. | ||

(in this case, you will have tech units),(also remember, to throw up many bunkers, keep his CC, and saturate them with marines, he can't mine gas or destroy the assimilator)When you go for the double expand, get range. Range goons destroy un upgraded marines like nobody's buisness. | ||

I'm pretty sure I'm depressing the mouse all the way as I've never had issue with left-click commands until I tried reaver micro and the mouse is new. It's the only time I've had troubles with a command. Edit. Nevermind, I think it's my stupid overheating laptop. | ||

Don't think I would ever get it PvT but in PvZ I can see it being very useful for increasing the splash damage as well as making building sniping much more effective. I usually get the +25 if I'm going very reaver heavy late game PvZ and I have the money to spare. | ||
