The standard economical opening is 10 supply, 12 rax, 13 gas, 15 Orbital Command. | ||

Just a thread where people make comments on a game as it's happening, the idea being if you can't watch the game you could go to the live report and see what is happening in it. I think this is what it is anyway. | ||

How effective is this? Is there a particular technique to it? It's not terribly effective, but once you get the 5 minerals with your worker, you can simply hit 'c' or 'return cargo' to make the worker return to your main building (it's great if your worker gets surrounded). | ||

Attack moving is a+click (on the ground). Shift is used to queue commands, so if you moved your units, then shift+a-moved them, they won't a-move until they finish their previous order. Two ways to remove units from a group. Either control click them on the screen (if already selected), or you can click on their little portrait in the bottom middle of the screen (will remove one at a time). Question: What amount of spines/lings/banes is good to hold off a marine timing push just as stim is finishing and siege is done. (20-30 marines, 5 tanks)? | ||

For me, it has always been a question. I normally just eyeball it. Example: 20 marines and 4 marauders incoming. How many lings and banelings should I have? | ||

It is possible for teams because a new team uses the MMR of all its players as a starting point. If 3 people that are already in diamond 3v3 form a new team, they will likely be placed into diamond. | ||

You can change direction and it will continue dropping. Needless to say, applies to overlord and warp prisms as well. So if I have about 6 dropships dropping at the opponent's main, I have to d 'click' all 6 ? | ||

PS: (I open 14gas/14pool for lingbane, i just want to know if i should go allin, pressure or back off and expand myself) It is VERY risky and VERY hard to hold a 14hatch against a speedling / speedling banling opening, but doable. Ret held yesterday in the grand finals of assembly. | ||

Ret held yesterday in the grand finals of assembly. Further: I've saw a replay of Haypro v LeenockFoU, and both 14 Hatched, so I'm guessing it's pretty standard in Kor, but depending on server (if you are playing on US), you should be prepared for speeling/baneling build. Also, my recent games on US have resulted in many 1 base roach plays, so 14 hatch into speedlings works out pretty well for me. | ||
