For a beginner, would you recommend practicing Micro or Macro first? which do you think is the most important overall to learn first and in pro level?

What are your thoughts on the current state of TvT?

How should you go about getting the edge in a TvT viking/tank stalemate? Is there a way to safely break out of a viking/tank stalemate without giving the opponent an advantage?

Protoss is supposed to be the easiest race and Terran is considered the deepest one but every Terran unit is played at the moment while there are still unplayed units as Protoss. So don't you feel there's potential for Protoss to be way deeper than it is now ? Because I'm feeling there's room to play with different army compositions in the future while I think we've seen in the beta what Terran will be in the next years.

And a bit the same question about Zerg, for the past months Zerg was described as bland but now people start to use more different units. Does the fact that Zerg and Protoss take more time to stabilise may mean Terran will be considered the easy or bland race in the future ?

Do you think in the future professional games like Starcraft 2 will cost as much as any professional software ? Starcraft 2 will be around $180 with its 2 extensions, and there will also be a special expensive version for big tournament admins to run on lan.

Do you think since the Quake pro scene stagnates there's a way for RTS to become as popular in America and Europe as it is in Asia ?

Also do you practise with your build order tester or with the cracked AIs now the beta is down ?

Do you have plans to make melee maps ? What do you think lacks in the current Blizzard maps ?

Do you think that there's no chatroom in Starcraft 2 because there's an agreement with Facebook ? (So basically if you want to chat just go to facebook).

I'm an D+ SCBW zerg. I played all the beta as Z. During the down time all I've been doing is watch day[9] and a couple other SC2 commentators. Because I started playing SC2 while it was still a larva, I think I've grown alot on this game. I was diamond when the beta ended (I started there anyway) and I believe I've improve a lot.

From the replays, dailys and more, I'm starting to have much more fun playing T. Now the question is:

I see alot of potencial playing T's mech. Don't you think it's a little bit over-powered TvZ?

I played Z a lot throughout the beta, it only came a little closer to balance with the last patch but roaches still cost 2 supply and that makes my army useless against a lot of tanks, a couple marauders and some more rines. What could they do to get this alot less impossible to deal with? What do you think about Tasteless's suggestion (see his last interview by Artosis) about removing the smart target fire (or whatever) back to over kill?

I have a couple more questions on this (TvZ mech) so please let me know if you like the subject.

If you where a beginning, but ambitious player, how would you go about to become great at the game; what aspects of the game would you focus on; ultimately aiming for becoming a competetive player in your own right?

spoiler cuz i dont wanna be a troll in my kevin's sexy tv show!
+ Show Spoiler +

just wanted to point out the Ai-nerf to going back to overkill was discussed by Raelcun myself and others in vent, then Raelcun made a post about it here on team liquid where artosis posted soemthing like 'that's pretty much exactly what i was thinking' i think the interview with mr plott came later, but i think if there's any credit to be given on an idea that sadly wasnt even implemented, credit's due to Mr Raelcun.

Qxc!!! <3 You're awesome. Anyhow.

My question(s):
* Who is your favorite player and why?
* Is there any player that you admire the most? If so, whom?
* what got you started in starcraft?

I dont think I have more questions at the moment! But you are awesome ^_^ Good luck!

As i can see you already have some tournaments under your belt, what are your plans for sc2, are you aiming for a pro Top carrier or just taking part to some semi-pro leagues/tournements while developing mods ?

Thx for all the maps you developed so far.

How well do you think a nydus would have countered your dropship harass? Also, why did you decide to skip tanks completely in TvZ?

Great game. I've never had a comeback like that, although I had a few that awed me.

edit: context is the game you analysed with day[9] on his stream.

QXC, When facing the decission of killing the minearl line, or the unit producing buildings, which should I go for? Does it depend on the race of my opponent or game time?

I love watching your aggressive play, and often you split your army for a drop or a two pronged attack. What influences the ratio of units you use for the attacks/drops, balancing between how many to be effective without losing too much if it fails?

Thanks

Hi QXC

I've been wondering about why people don't really go air (Im focusing on TvZ here as a terran)
With an army compesition of banshee/viking/raven with an opening 1/1/1 while going helions. I know this is gas heavy and thats why Im throwing in helions must for some harash that can help an early exspan for more gas. I would like to hear your thoughts on this because I havn't really had the chance to try it out since beta is down

Great show on day 9 ^^

qxc, how much of an effect do you think crowd control abilities have on overall game balance? (Phoenix with graviton beams, Infestors with fungal growth and neural parasite, Sentries with force field, etc.). Do you think Terrans are at a disadvantage without any kind of cc ability?
