Dunno, hope it's soon. Cyclone is out of control haha

You basically have to blindly open Phoenix in PvT right now, which deal with early game Cyclone shenanigans, but if you are looking to try to take more than 3 bases, it gets crazy tough, especially when they start adding in the mass widow mine. Throw in some hellion runbys and, welp. Just not sure what to do. I guess Storm but idk, I feel like that's pretty weak vs Cyclone still.

Cyclones also own cannons pretty hard, which is unfortunate.


Maybe try Blink + obs? Gives you a bit of map control and lets you micro against Cyclones.

If they go bio you can add disruptors and if they mech you can leave the game and queue up as Zerg.


The *only* way to stop Cylones is lifting them with Phoenix and killing their lock on. There is no microing vs them, they are too fast and the range is way too long.


Not even if you Blink away the unit they're locked onto and move the others forward etc? Are they just too strong?

Yeah their to strong. 200 health and sick damage. Pretty crazy.

And kind of fast.

edit: Well, apparently if you can get a Pylon in Terran's base you can beat Cyclones! Source: Whitera's stream lmao

The level of casual contempt on show is beginning to sicken me.

How about this: if you haven't personally used the editor to create a set of great new units that are nicely balanced and fun, you don't get to insult those who are trying.


They're expecting us to part with money to play the game, and want us to watch events featuring it. Of course we get to complain if it's not what we want.

First, calling hardworking people stupid lazy hacks is not complaining, it's just insulting and depressing. The only thing I don't enjoy about lotv - the only thing I've ever not enjoyed about StarCraft 2 - is how down the community is. It's like half of us just discovered how cool it is to be cynical.

Secondly, instantly complaining when things aren't immediately to your liking is something I'm trying to teach my 8 year old daughter to quit.
The existence of a food chain is inescapable if we evolved unsupervised, and inexcusable otherwise.

how do you have the gas to go mass cyclone mass mine? I saw demuslim go mass cyclone mass hellion and his gas & mineral was very low. Doesn't seem to me that there would be enough gas to support mass mines & cyclones only.

Open Cyclones, get map presence, take bases everywhere, add mines.

Just curious.. with the Colossus/Immortal nerfs how does Protoss kill a PF?

Can you just mass PF everywhere?

As in, larva counts vs how economy and tech grows? Not yet but we plan on doing it eventually. We're pretty busy with another huge project for now.

Cuz more morphs, more hatches, less minerals = more larva, so I thought a statistic of "spare larva" for hots vs lotv would be nice.
