most pro are still competing in hots. Overpowered stuff I'd say lurkers/adepts/tank + medivac. All of these are quite fun to toy with and I believe that hold position micro works for lurkers.

i'm almost positive LotV will be $60 USD in North America.

is it going to be 60 Euro in Europe?

Usually they are between 40-50€ these days. I think I preordered HotS on amazon for like 45€ and then got a 5€ discount because they made it cheaper before release. But that will also depend on the Euro/Dollar exchange rate I guess, which isn't all too stable since Greece collapsed.

Nope, only unranked. There's of course MMR; but there are no ranks.

I guess it s because the ping is terrible, even if you re playing from NA, sometimes you have half a second of delay, and build orders "change a bit" during the early game, so I guess pros tend to focus on the current tournament version of the game!

With the new 12 worker start, I am unsure as to when I need to defend against certain timings like cloak banshee for instance. As Zerg, if a Terran player does a "standard macro build," nothing too heavy on early aggression or economy, but more of a balance. At what point do I need to be worried about harassment from cloaked banshee, mass hellion, and mass reaper. Worried, as in if I don't have a spore up or a pack of lings I may likely die without great micro. Hope this question was simple enough for the thread.

Can someone confirm that the lock-on of the Cyclone does NOT trigger if you targetfire with a cyclone? Or is there a bug that just makes the automation of the lock-on inconsistent?

How to open in TvP (facing a two gateway adept opening in 70% of the times)?

Explanation: All viable terran early game units (marines, reaper, hellions) are light-armored and the receive bonus damage from adapts aka going down instantly. Marauder are looking bad too: they require a techlab, don't do bonus damage vs adepts and instantly lose to oracle/MSC pushes. A quick wall-in seems to be necessary, but it puts you even further behind because it's a extra investment and you cannot take the low ground expansion for ages vs a 4 adept contain.

My opening:
12 rax
12 gaz
reaper then if you scout adept 2 gates, wall off with your 2 first supply and 1 bunker
cc hi ground
reactor on rax then marines
rax
factory then WM
tech lab on rax then marauder

land your cc low ground as soon as you get your 1st WM, a bunch of marines and a marauder and you should be ahead!

I don't play much but I do like the occasional ladder game. I'm content with being in Bronze as long as battle.net has an ok rating for me so that I get 50/50 win ratio.

I only used 1 rax FE in HotS and I need the equivalent for LotV. I intend to try a few games like that in LotV but have there been any major changes that prevent me from doing that? Does the worker start count invalidate a 1 rax FE? I need a simple TvX build I can stick with.

I'm just getting stared with LotV and I am looking for some high level zerg replays. Something that I can key off of as I get my macro better. Unfortunately, I cant seem to find like any replays that actually work. Normally I would go to spawningtool, and they do have a LotV section, but all the replays that I download say "the version required to play this game is unavailable." Any ideas on where to get some good replays that work?

What would be a good way to reach carriers kinda safely in PvZ ? I like to open phoenix into some adepts/sentries to secure the third, but I can't seem to be sure whether I can tech carriers or not ; hydra ling or lurkers timings are a bitch to deal with. If you could help me on that topic I'd be really glad

What is the new new standard zerg opening? Is 17 hatch, 17 gas, 17 pool the way to go? Is it safe vs 13pool,12 gas bane allins for example?

What's the new timing to send in your overlord if you want to see the tech of protoss or terran?

Anyone else notice how hotkeys work differently in lotv? It's hard for me to explain. In hots, I usually have my CC as 5, and you can hit 5 then box scvs, then 5 again and you wouldn't center on the CC. In lotv, even if you box in between hitting 5 twice, it will center your focus on the CC. You don't even really seem to need to double hit 5 very quickly for it to center your screen. It could be that specifically, or something else, but I've been fucking up my hotkeys. Like I'll add things I don't want to add, accidentally change hotkeys etc..

Anyone been experiencing this and know if I can change it back to the way they had it in wol and hots? It's been incredibly frustrating.
