What was the verb used to describe the fact that someone had "too many minerals"? Like, you know, 2k minerals sitting in the bank for no reason.

Flowing? He is flowing 2k?

edit: finally found it. Floating!!

Can someone explain why this guy Britney has 4-5x viewers on Africaa compared to others? For example, just now he has 11k while Flash has 3,4k.

Why is he so popular in KR?

From what I get he's an entertaining streamer just like Sea, not much to do with his BW abilities if that's what you're wondering

hes a "content creator". he got his first audiences from being a b team player and streaming with terror a lot. now hes gone his own way kind of like terror, but less spastic.
basically he doesnt just stream bw anymore, he does a variety of shit with a variety of bjs.

Britney is just super friendly and adorable for koreans. Even if he just played BW he would have super high views. This is the same as many celebrities, just being interesting people, not necessarily best in their profession.

Honestly it's probably Rax -> CC and scout early, if Zerg you can follow that up with more barracks, if T or P then get your factories making.

Also if your micro/multitask is good you can be relatively safe with Barracks Gas Fac and adjust it to the race you're playing against after scout, because you can then play 1-1-1 against Zerg and have standard vP vT without needing to defend a Rax FE.

terran is the one race that doesn't really struggle vs random. You can open 1 rax gas and be totally fine in all matchups (go into 111 vs z) or you can do rax FE against all races which is also fine - although I guess holding protoss cheese takes quite some practice.

I always use it when I play with Random players. Win rate for this strategy more than 50%. Sometimes I choose 14 CC in the my base, also!

protoss can just go 1 gate tech which i think is probably more stable than rax gas is, which is susceptible to various timings against a zerg.

disagreed. rax gas is used on the highest levels all the time, even in picked tvz. Meanwhile you virtually never see a progamer open 1 gate tech pvz, against a really good zerg you will almost always be disadvantaged doing that.

protoss is the race that struggles the most with random specifically because 1 gate tech is pretty weak (and making a single gateway in your natural is pretty horrible pvp). I mean it's not like it's unplayable, you can do sair into dt into exp or zealot into templar into exp or a pretty decent goon reaver attack and it can all work.. but it's significantly weaker than gate exp or forge exp overall. However I'm not even sure if 1-1-1 is a weaker build than +1 5 rax is for tvz in general.

1-1-1 and its variations are considered to be the preferred build choice over 1 rax fe openings now.

i wouldn't call it preferred, especially for ladder play

it's much more fragile and difficult to execute

I think it comes down to personal flair which one you prefer. But 1-1-1 or 1rax fe are both completely viable.

ya i just mean it hasnt replaced 1rax fe by any means

111 is a strong build but 1rax fe is still the core of the mu

ill agree that its maybe not preferred on ladder, but when pros vs pros 1-1-1 is favoured because of the advantage terran has when it comes to mind games.
to make things clear, im specifically referring to 1-1-1 and all its variations (2-1-1 and 1-1-2). you effectively have 3 build paths you can choose after you chase away the initial drone scout.

Thats what I'm saying. Top level is one thing, an entirely different thing, than us randoms laddering. You don't want to be doing 1-1-1 against a cheesy random, its your only option, but you don't want to be. It can die to a thousand things and the cheeser will ofc, be cheesing you. On the other hand 1 gate tech plays out standard but should against an experienced Zerg player leave you slightly behind/at least strategically on the back foot. It is however, more cheese proof than cannon fe, or gate expand, its the safest option a Protoss could ask for short of 10/12.


~~~~~~

Anyone know the timings/goals of larvas 3 hatch lair+den build? Killer used it against horang2 but I don't know the timings or goals of the build.


~~~~~

the hell is the 1-1-2? 2 port wraith?
