Focus on your macro mechanics such as being able to inject larva quickly,getting resources low at all cost,not to be supply blocked,spreading creeps and getting upgrades

Of course, you will need an suicide overlord into the opponent's main base to dig out information needed on what they are doing.

Try to play a standard macro game and hold off their cheeses unless the cheese is too extreme

I used to play 3 gate sentry expand pvz, 2 gate robo pvt and 4 gate pvp, but this was awhile back and i cant really fiind what the standard openers are anymore.

3gate sentry expand is still a viable build but however you need to be more cautious as there have been more roach-ling all in. You just need to play safe and build cannons to protect against such builds. In Fact, sentries has been buffed as they will build faster after the patch.

I'm making the transition into masters zerg. I have my macro and unit compositions pretty down. What I need to get better at is my timing. I sometimes get supply blocked etc, forget upgrades or don't get them as soon as i have enough gas for them. I do the spanishwa no gas build but seem to lose to very fast tanks. Does anyone know the general timing for say 1rax 2 factory, tanks.

In IdrA's stream, he has a mod that makes his mouse white.
I'm guessing it's just an icon changer of some sort, but where do I get it?
A simple google search turned up nothing.

Have you thought about using grid layout?
It allows you to use all the keys around wsad..
I had the same problem so i moved to grid layout and i really like it.

In ZvP, while opting to go a Roach/Hydralisk/Corruptor composition versus a mostly Stalker/Sentry/Collosus based army, what is the optimal roach to hydra ratio?

I thought that was just a glitch from the streaming software that makes the mouse look all weird.

These may be long, but they are simple

1. Ok....So I have completed single player ages ago (campaign). Now Im telling my bro to play it to get all the achievements. Question is......there are lots of achievements where you have to research everything at armory, mercenaries and etc. But I cannot seem to access hyperion anymore. All I can do now is mission archive and do missions, but cannot go to hyperion therefore research/upgrade stuff.

I have been googling and people say to load last save before char. If I do it then my bro would lose LOTS of what he has done so far.....so I just told him to restart campaign, but unfortunately the credit doesnt carry over....starts from beginning again = /

So what to do? All we want to do is just simply have access to hyperion, without having to restart the whole campaign again.....

2. When HOTS comes out, what will happen? It will only be the new Zerg campaign right? As for the multiplayer games that are happening now, such as the ..... argh you know what I mean lol, the ladder games, the league, bronze gold plat GM etc.....they will all stay the same, surely?

Coz if there is a sseparate league ladder for WoL, HoTS and LotV....then there is no point playing ladder now :S What will those progamers already dominating ladder do? Such as Idra, Kiwikaki, Boxer, etc?
Regarding the imbalance, hilarious to see Zergs defending themselves....

Does anybody know how to disable camera zoom? The middle button on the G9x is extremely stiff which usually results in me zooming in and out when trying to drag scroll. I've tried clearing the hotkey for zooming in and out in hotkeys, but I have not tried binding it to an unused key...

If seen that on other streams as well, and I know somebody said it doesn't look like that for them, it's just xsplit that makes it looks weird. I don't know if that was idra, but im pretty sure it's the same reason in his case.

ZvZ question:

You're going 1base bane, your opponent speedling expand. As you finish morphing your lings into banes near his base, he quickly goes for a counter attack with his lings to your base.

What's the best reponse to this?

Re-rally your reinforcements to your base. Start banelings as soon as they hatch. Defend with queen and dont be afraid to pull drones. Get your original lings and banes into his mineral line and its gg.

Nothing is set in stone, but wrt multiplayer, Browder commented that new units may be introduced, old units may be changed, and shitty units may be removed. In addition, they also commented that they will likely split the ladder by expansion. So there will be a WoL and HoTS ladder.

In practice this won't be a problem because barring HoTS being a monumental disaster, everyone will move over to HoTS and WoL will be a ghost town minus the very few "hardcore" people that will think WoL is the end-all-be-all of starcraft 2.

Good macro builds.
