I watched a few of your replays, and they have been really helpful. Is there a general rule of thumb of when you would recommend when you should harass initially with 1 Tank 1 V and rines in a TVT? The reason I'm asking is because I practice with my friend a lot and he usually bioballs with vikings, and usually I can't get enough units to stop his push. Also would u still recommend tanks after the recent nerf? | ||

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/860312/9rax2.SC2Replay if you have time for this focus on me (Kakakarl). I'm trying to be offensive early to force chrono on gate and pick off a probe but since I suck I failed to do so + didn't manage my base well while doing it. (practice here is obviously needed) But what else did I do wrong? | ||

You can purchase lessons though! sorry my friend. | ||

I do use a particular set of hotkeys 1 cc/nexus 2-4 structures and 5-7 units while i do feel 5a and 5h 6e (emp) 7d is easier I see near every guide/pro/faq/video saying to use 1-3 and 4-7 and not the opposite You think I should force myself to change since it may cost me effectiveness ? | ||

If you feel your keybinds is easier, then obviously you shouldn't switch. You should only consider swapping around if it somehow feels weird. That's my oppinion anyway  | ||

I am trying to learn 1 rax fe builds for TvP and I have come across a bunch where you get reapers or marauders or 1 rax marine into expand. I was wondering if you have a specific preference and what do you think is a good way to go about 1 rax fe against Toss. Particularly what do you do against 3 gate immortal and 4 gate all-ins, is it something that I have to scout for and change my build to account for or can I simply get away with throwing down 2-3 bunkers at nat and macroing away? I have also had a difficult time transitioning into tech from 1 rax fe. If I over-commit to bio I lose to mass colossus pushes but lately I have been having a lot of success with banshees. I saw some of your games where you transition into mech but I have a hard time pulling off mech against toss on most maps, particularly when the critical mass of colo 1-2 shots everything on the ground. I was also wondering if you have some good insights about TvT. For some reason I just don't have a handle on this match-up. I mostly lose or get behind in the early game, If I go tanks then I eat a marau drop in main or if I go bio, I have tanks sieging up in front of my main. Otherwise it is banshees. Its pretty much hit or miss because I don't have a reliable opening. I have been experimenting with marine hellion banshee but have been getting rolled over with thor and bio when I do this. Late game I have trouble with thor banshee compositions where banshees have cloak and the thors can easily snipe ravens. The banshees' mobility also make up for the slow thors and allow good harassment. Any ideas for dealing with this composition? Is there a go to reliable macro opening you can recommend for this matchup or is it a little rock/paper/scissorish in that its pretty much about scouting and then responding with a counter to whatever your opponent is doing? | ||

With a fast expand,make sure you are on far positions or you know they won't be aggressive until you are safe. I prefer 2 reaper opening with the fast expand to scout them out accordingly. Or a2 racks into expo. Bunkers down could be sufficient if repaired properly. TvT is about scoutingand multi tasking. If bio kills you, try bio and find out what stops that. If tanks kill you, go tanks and find out what counters that. If you lose at 1 strategy, try it until you found a counter. And an under used unit for the banshee is ghost + marines. | ||

From one random to another, how do you go about practicing? Do you have consistent partners? Do your testing on ladder? Ask for certain builds? Good Stuff so far. | ||

Is there any replay you remember you had to fend off big drops-all-in early/mid early (40-60 food) with lik 4-6 medivacs full of marines or for any particular reason you stayed behind and had to be on turtle mode against air/drops in a tvt ? | ||

From one random to another, how do you go about practicing? Do you have consistent partners? Do your testing on ladder? Ask for certain builds? Good Stuff so far. I actually practice multiple strategies on ladder, I was at 1500 and hurt my neck making it very difficult to play. At that time I decided to test strategies like no queen zerg and so forth. Still testing multiple strategies that I want to work on and planning to climb again soon. As for practicing I practice with specific people in match ups and different maps. People like Trump, Warden and so on. I don't ask for builds I try to make my own. | ||

To fight tactics like this keep a few units in your base that can snipe a medivac and atack ground. Kill it fast before it can unload, or only a little. | ||

First off all thx for all the quality streaming on xfire! I recently started to play scII, ive only played one race "zerg". Atm im playing at the bottom of the bronze league. Ive played like 20 games and won 5... Mostly im facing terran. But i don't really get what i should build against those marine / and those flyers... Im mostly using zerglings, rouches, hydra's.. And i don't know which upgrades i need to take first and when to build what. Can u provide me some sort of build-up and what to upgrade and when? I also can provide you with a replay if you'd like that. muchly appreciated Xenius | ||
