You should probably consider re-binding your keys tho, it helps out a ton. You have to customize it to meet your needs tho, do you hotkey your nexus to 098? If so, do you like it (does it feel comfortable)? If you hotkey your nexus' to 456 you should probably have probes on E or S, it makes it way easier to produce workers. These are things i highly recommend newer or returning players to think about. If you're gonna practice you might as well do it efficiently, it's important to start creating good habits early. Think about how you wanna position your gateways (simcity), how you wanna macro (f key or hotkey gates), where you want to rally your gates and how you wanna utilize your f keys (fkey on nexus' or gates or rally point?) etc. Obviously this is only assuming you wanna practice to improve, not just play to have fun. If you wanna improve you have to practice with a purpose, set goals for yourself. We all have different postures and position our keyboards differently so you really have to come up with a layout that works for you. | ||

There's too much luck/diplomacy/bullshit in 8 player FFAs for there to be a concrete answer to this, but I'd wager that Protoss is well-off because of Mind Control being an important asset in long games like this. | ||

This is not new, it's been around for a looong time. 2. It's almost entirely non-Americans (if you're referring t o the USA). | ||

I would echo the others and say Protoss, carriers, arbiter, mass cannon, HT, mind control etc. just makes it the best on these humongous maps. | ||

Zerg is also quite ok for defending but terrible for attacking. Using hydra / defiler / nydyus you can quite easily protect most bases, but in long run P will always kill you. | ||

256x256 ffa is basically protoss >>> zerg >>> terran. Terran is far too slow, and unable to do much with a fragmented army. Zerg has good fragmented armies (they can defend successfully for a while against almost anything with just some defiler lurker hydra, they can pull off damaging attacks with just small amounts of defiler lurker ling), but the big mobile armies are so fragile compared to what protoss can show up with. Protoss has the by far cheapest defense while also being fairly mobile and having a lot of splash damage in their more powerful compositions. Zerg can do some good stuff with queens (be really diligent about parasiting, for one), sometimes they can get to crush 'typical ffa mass capital ship army' really well. But that again hinges on protoss not taking advantage of their full potential - the dark archon is the ultimate ffa spellcaster. | ||

I made a siege expand tutorial a while ago where I also did a timing push near the end of the video, but the explanation on how to push is pretty basic: https://www.teamliquid.net/forum/bw-strategy/446553-how-to-siege-expand-in-tvp#1 | ||

If I may venture a guess, it is because of the advent of non-rep viewing functionality. Double and single FPV. HD VodS, etc. All push replays into the subculture further. | ||

If it is BGH or some other map with infinite resources then Protoss. Otherwise Terran may be better then Protoss, but there is no much difference. | ||

I read the liquipedia article and while I thought it was pretty helpful, I feel like it doesn't give enough intuition about when to siege and unsiege tanks. Look for Brat_OK games vs P during the Razer TSL. | ||
