Ultras are not in time for a protoss midgame push from what I've seen. They are however probably your best choice if you can live long enough to get them out. Does anyone have a build that gets a reasonable number of ultras out on time without staying on 2 base? | ||

There's so much misinformation out there, it's tough enough for a player who's just starting out to find a good thread without it being poisoned by people's "Never get lings or use spawn larvae and always wall off with Evo chambers" builds. If someone is posting their ideas (Especially in another person's thread), it's much more productive to be blunt than have Bronze and Silver players doing some wonky BO because they don't know any better. With all due respect that isn't how forums work. If the post is topical IE he is arguing for refined methods/preferences etc etc.. then it is fine. It isn't like someone makes a thread and we are only allowed to ask questions about it or say "cool" or "bad" ?? | ||

it's a bad trend with sc2 players. Everyone and their mother is diamond rank so somehow everyone thinks they are more right or something. | ||

If I scout adequate defense I can use my roaches to deny scouting, maintain the threat of an all-in and power as with a standard build. In my opinion, it won't matter if a protoss doesn't expect them if he can still scout them and figure it out later (or just be prepared even if unexpected). Roaches are just at a major disadvantage in this game in many (more standard) situations. A great situation to use roaches though, is when protoss is fast expanding, and it's on a map with a backdoor - incineration zone, kulas ravine, blistering sands (especially), scrap station, or possibly even desert oasis although I doubt they'd FE on that map. You can go 1 base roach with burrow - try to keep it as secret as possible of course though. Using roaches to deny scouting is a bad idea, due to the fact that they aren't fast (unless they are on both creep and have speed upgrade). You'd have to keep roaches outside their choke, which is an invite to stalkers owning them, or even sentrys blocking them from escaping, and killing with zealots and/or immortal. If you use lings you will keep them in the dark as to what you're getting, as well as keeping your troops pretty safe. | ||

Yeah I also said the same thing I don't think it was right in any way of how Catz responded in any way. Hopefully next time he doesn't do it like that  . Sheth do you plan on writing a zvt guide soon? | ||

It's pretty sad an older member is stooping down to the level of all the new members that just flood threads with useless chatter. You said yourself many times that it is a forum, and everyone has there own opinions, yet you rant on at other people for their opinions. You don't contribute to threads at all, and no one cares more about your opinion than that of anyone else. Every time you talk, you try to make it sound like you are on this pedestal talking down to all the noobs of the world. For being such an old member of TL, I would expect some respect or maturity, but I guess you can just flood threads with useless comments, clearly stated in the TL rules that you should PM the person if you have a problem with them, in this case being CatZ. And yes, I did not PM this, because I think it is important other people, especially admins realize that people, especially older members like yourself need to mature up and follow the rules as well. | ||

It's pretty sad man, there's no doubt. I just wish there was more of an effort from the admins, but it seems that the important aspects are just ignored, and they have more fun banning people who use "troll" than helping the site out. | ||

It's amazing to me, that the same person who would openly accuse me and my ally of "listening to your stream" after losing 4-1 to us, with a ton of viewers watching, is willing to come here and try to teach me how I should behave. See the difference between you being an "e-thug" and me being an "e-thug" is I know when I do wrong and apologize. For this amongst many other reasons (that I have always chosen to ignore to keep a nice professional relationship) it is really hard for me to take any sort of advice from you. I really hope you understand this. Despite all this I made an effort and explained my reasoning, more than once, for the sake of good will... But you continue to poke at the same issue, why, I don't understand. but if it will make you stop posting, here you go again: Flop I am sorry (AGAIN), I thought that you posting a guide on top of a guide was disrespectful and replied without thinking carefully enough (AGAIN). I was frustrated, elitism is not a good thing and for this I apologize (AGAIN). So, (again) next time you have a problem with one of my posts or any other thing, PLEASE, PM me, or talk to a Mod so that they can do their job and fix whatever issue they consider pertinent. | ||

Incontrol should probably relax a bit now. It's not a big deal and we all got egos and throw shittalk around like its our job. At least you had 100x the courtesy of the average internet denizen. On top of that you're totally right in that guide on top of guide can be a little undermining (at least the way I wrote it). Sheth: I've found that at the higher level most people are still struggling with the midgame and there's a lot of opinions and not a lot of concrete arguments yet. Openings and earlygame strategy are very beneficial to the average player, but I'm really interested in how you approach midgame. Any ETA on a section regarding that? | ||
