EPTWhy is it that rush hour 1-3 has the mineral rotations different in the bottom left corner than this game? I always remember rush hour having the bottom left mineral placements like in the vod, but the map on teamliquid is clearly different? Does anyone have access to the correct map?

Sometimes you will still see big drop ship fleets but thats fallen off. Goliath drop openings seem to have fallen off even further. Could someone explain to me both why goliath drops arent as popular and why mass dropship play in tvt is less common? It feels like (not a terran player) a fast 1 base goliath dropship build would still be capable of doing a lot of damage, even if only at the lower levels. edit: If I wanted to do an upgrade zergling attack in zvz, would it be more beneficial/viable to get +1 melee attack or carapace? I feel like ive always seen the zerg do melee attack in that scenario. +1 melee yes. Mostly because it s cheaper i d say but also if it comes down to it better do +1 damage to sunken than take -1 from it For the map: TL one likely the original from kespa days, vod likely the remastered version | ||

I feel like it's been a little too long since the last post about it, and I've come to look forward to the occasional reminder that there was once this guy named Rapid, who had a large penis, and sexually harassed girls at esports events. Reading the emotionally charged reactions to those posts is always a good time lol funny how when idiots get a little power they show their true colors. | ||

Let’s say I know the opponent’s going for dropship after CC. Is there anything better than (when playing standard 23 nexus) pulling back dragoons about 6:30, walling off the main, and just catching vultures with dragoons? Cut dragoon production (8 total dragoons is fine), go quick third base, rush arbiter (citadel about 6:45), have a strong sim city, position dragoons well, have scouting pylons, add keep an obs in their base if you can. Essentially if we assume a normal tech progression (armory upgrades 3rd base) the Terran is giving up on a strong midgame push, they're committing to a lategame. So the counterplay is to lategame faster and better. You skip the entire midgame yourself because you don't need to do it vs dropships, you tick every lategame box you can as quickly as possible while minimizing how much damage you take from the vultures. If you enter the lategame (arbiter + tech done so switching to gateways) before they do then you have total map control and can then start adding bases, additional gateways in other mains etc. while threatening recalls. However you do need to keep an eye out for a dropship into 5 fac 2 base styles and that's why you need an obs in their base. Cutting dragoons vs that is not good. | ||

Is there a specific build aimed at taking a third early? This assumes the game was textbook standard; i.e. 3 hatch spire into 5/6 hatch hydra from Zerg. (Probably not viable against pre-storm 3h-spire into 5h-hydra busts, but those can usually be identified by the first Corsair) In most games, Protoss will aim for 8 gates and take a third around the 10-minute mark, maybe a bit later. So, is it possible to pressure Zerg with an implied timing attack around 7-8 minutes, take a third during that period of map control, and still be able to defend the incoming 6-hatch macro flood, which hits before the Protoss third starts paying off economically? Or does Protoss just always die to some follow-up? | ||
