I'm not making a big fuss, I'm just talking with you. And of course if you target cannons first it slows the raid down, but once they are gone you can just annihalate the remaining probes, it's definitely the better choice unless his army is really close to the expo. If it's not, take the time, pop the cannons, pop all the probes, lay all the mines at ramp--nexus and pop the nexus too

Haha it isn't easy to pop a nexus vs a protoss player who isn't drunk/high/asleep with vultures...but the raid is potentially very effective.

Micronesia although it depends on the situation entirely, as I said, it is relatively easy to kill a nexus with vultures.

It will take 188 hits to kill the nexus without taking into account for the shields regenerating (20 damage to shields per vulture then 5 damage to the actual nexus per vulture). This is in addition to the time it takes to kill the canons defending the expo and all the workers. Usually the vultures won't have enough time to pull all of that off. Occasionally it happens though.

this isn't really a tip for noobs but for ZERG, if you have amazing macro like me (rofl) and macro every 1 larvae midgame, instead of macroing so much wait till you have 3 larvae and decide what units to produce based on the damage you receieve or his own unit production or the damage you give him. if you kill his army with yours you can power a bit instead of making units. if you lose a battle, powering is risky if he decides to attack you, but can have a payoff. continuous army production while fighting means you are going to try to overpower him and beat him quickly, which doesn't always work.

Yeah seriously, did is say that APM is the same as speed?

I said, "If you were a perfect player with 350 APM." Notice the perfect player part, and also the lack of judgement about what APM means.

All caps is seriously not required here. Please grow up. You have 820 posts so you must know how things work here. Having a bad day or something?

I think tip 7 should be removed. It's not a good tip to give to a noob.



I of course disagree with this. In fact I think "don't be afraid to build supply structures in bulk" should be added to this tip.

Watching some pro players makes you feel like you have to build units one at a time and supply structures one at a time. The fact is that this just isn't feasible, or correct especially in the heat of a game.

Come back after a small battle to 3k mins and no pylons? Cue some units and build a 9 pack of pylons. IN FACT if you had been willing to queue some units and overbuild pylons before the battle you may have come back home to a second army!

So maybe you will never challenge Nada or even Nony with this type of play. But you sure will house some average plus people who think it is a cardinal rule to do the above.


Apparently I was somewhat misunderstood. It is not my opinion that you should tell a noob to emulate pro level macro. Obviously that won't work. On the other hand a noob is going to have a hard time going half way with this. Watch some noobs play and you see that they have a tendency to either build tons of uneeded gateways (or analogue) or at the other extreme to have 1-2 gateways with 5 units queued up at each. The way you get better is to transition. One game you do the 5 units per building queueing like a noob. The next game you start to get the feel for the fact that you are about to queue up 5 units per building, so you add a couple of gateways. Eventually you end up queueing 5 units at each gateway again. The next game you get an even better feel for when to add gates, and before you know it your macro is c level. I would just be careful about telling a new player that it's "O.K." to queue up several units at each building. More like, it's going to happen as you get better, but watch the replays and learn how and when to add buildings correctly. The same generally goes for supply but in that case I admit they are better off at first overproducing them ahead of time....that way while it's bad practice increasing supply, it doesn't prevent them from practicing every other element of the game.


I realize this is late comming, but you point is well taken. However, I think at the right time my advice can also be helpful.

Generally that's more up to the terran to decide than the protoss. Some people fast expo with 1 factory regardless of what they scout...but that is dangerous. It depends a lot on the map also. If you are at 9 on lost temple it is much easier to expand than if you are on a different type of map.

Tip: When you're scouting peon gets into trouble (like getting stuck between enemy peons), be prepared to quickly mine a mineral patch outside his base. I usually keep my finger near my hotkey for nexus/cc/hatch and ready to double click it.

This is probably a good tip. If you focus on how to play then your apm will go up, but it's still a distraction and some people do stupid crap because they are ostensibly 'raising their apm' when they should just learn how to win.


hmmm that sounds like suncow

Expo when you can defend it. I think in TvP it's safest to expo when you have Seiged Tanks on the cliff overlooking your nat/choke. Or you can expo while you're attacking (Vult Rush, FD, Joyo) and when they're done dealing with that you'll have SeigeMode ready. Watch out for DTs, Reavers, and Zeal Drops on your Tanks :S Turrets+Mines deal with that.

this one's good too
so many people i know who are relatively new to the game dedicate themselves to one race right away, and have no grasp of what other races do when and what signs to read =(
