btw, i agree fully with drone on this. i lose most pvps because i lose probes in a reaver attack and am forced to remake them to keep my econ up so i can expand, or because i made too many and they expanded and i failed to scout it. also, what is the best way to know when they expand if i decided to risk it and not go observers early game? probe never get in because of a wall of goons...should i assume that wall is protecting an expo? im really inexperenced at pvp, as eri could tell you. those games were rather dissatisfying. rather embarassing as well...first games back from a break from bw and i got my ass handed to me...three times. =( | ||

you are just so rediculous the best norwegian starcraftgamer ! ( an probably TOP 15 Europe) tells you that you are wrong . So if you have any brains you should realize that he must know what he is talking about. | ||

I've reconsidered (played few games) what I said and I believe 40 probes for 9 patches is too many, but still I think 30 is an optimum number while you will need few probes for your new exp and you might always loose some due to your opponent. | ||

PvP is about maximizing your advantage at a certain time. If your opponent stops making probes he will have more mass than you, but if you can defend with more power then you will be ahead in a few minutes. If you 3 gate then yes of course you have to stop because otherwise you get overrun, best time to stop is obviously when you have 24 probes on minerals and 3 on gas because you get 204 minerals/minute more with 24 probes than 22. | ||

(Pylon , Nexus , 3 Gates) nevertheless if you are a good player you can easily bash medium-noobs with it. | ||

Is he going to find a weak spot (always a weak spot) and exploit it decently and finish of the incorrect play of the opponent ( stubborn newbie guy) what do you do if you can't attack but have more units? go 1 base carrier of course | ||

that sounds more like the advantage having 8 over 6 probes will give you. with 2.5 probes per patch you're very close to saturation, 2.75 even closer. the additional 2 probes will spend more time running around looking for a mining spot than they spend mining. | ||
