I've heard a good late game tactic as Terran is to build several extra orbitals for the MULEs so you can sac some SCVs and free up slots for your 200/200 army. Is this tactic appropriate against all matchups?
yes its to free up your supply for a bigger army in any match ups espicially zerg and protoss.

Hello and good evening,
as a quiet bad player (gold level last season, haven't even been placed now) I want to get the most fun out of this game. I have played both protoss and zerg, and now I would like to have a go with the terrans, then I'll probably decide what race I will be going for forever.
I'm a total noob to terran play and I was wondering if the fine liquid folks could help me to find wich terran builds are: economic (I'll learn the cheese later, I prefer a macro style), at least a bit safe and are executable at my level of play. And that in each of the match-ups (1 per MU).
Normally I just search builds on the forums myself, but I tried to do the same thing with terran but due to my lack of knowledge I could'nt make out wich were good for me and wich weren't.
A bunch of thanks in advance
Taxo

Any build is adaptable for any skill level imo, because they are all dependant on how efficiently you macro, not "what the build is." There isn't really such thing as a build order loss below diamond unless you get cheesed while being greedy.
@Taxo: Just look through some of these that look interesting to you, make a choice that you think suits your style, and practice it.

How does Blizzard decide who goes into Grandmaster at the start of a new season? I was GM on the SEA server last season and don't know how they decide. I'd like to know my spot in GM is safe this season. =]
Thanks.
From: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Battle.net_Leagues#Grandmaster_League
To enter the Grandmaster League:
There needs to be an open slot within the ladder.
You need to be in the top 200 players according to a rolling average of your skill rating.
Your unused bonus pool must be less than 90.

How many orbital commands do I need to mine out a base in a single calldown?

1500 minerals x 8 mineral patches = 12,000 minerals in a mineral line. Each MULE mines ~250 minerals (depending on which mineral patch it's on, it mines 240 or 270).
12000/250 = ~48. You'd need 48 mules to mine out a base. Since  MULEs can mine over other MULEs, you can call them all down at once. This requires either 12 orbital commands with full energy or 48 newly-made orbitals with 50 energy each.

That's awesome, thanks :D

For rich mineral fields, which contain a total of 9.000 minerals and are mined by MULEs at a rate of 42 minerals per trip, you'll need to call down 26 MULEs.

this seemed the most appropriate place to ask, i've searched but haven't found a definitive answer.
Since the change in barracks build time is it better to cut SCV production for those 5 seconds to get your orbital out, or is it better to build one more scv and consequently delay your orbital ?

If I'm responding to a 1-gate or 3-gate expand against Protoss with a roach-ling attack, at about what time should I be hitting the front of their base, and with how many roaches/lings? How many drones should I make before moving into unit production?

It depends, are you trying to bust his front and cause significant damage, or threaten him to secure a faster 3rd base?

How do you beat Immortals if you're going bio as T?

When does a terran standard 1-1-1 hit in PvT?

Marines do very well against Immortals. Just stim and focus down the Immortals with your marines. Once you have Ghosts EMP is very effective as well.

9:30 - 11:00 minutes. Generally 10-11 depending on map

do you do 11 rax or 12 rax?
I know for a fact that if you do a 1 rax FE its better to cut scv and get the orbital + cc out faster, and the key factor seems to be the mules. so I'm guessing its to get the orbital out faster.

In ZvZ when should I be drone scouting? I'm in Bronze, and I'm getting tired of going into a game and not knowing what to do because for me it's such a coin toss. One game I'll get 9 pooled, the next game I get fast roach rushed, and I usually just stick to 14gas/14pool.
PM me please ^_^

Usually you want to be scouting with a drone at 9 supply because you NEED to know what your opponent is up to. If you are getting <10 pooled then you want to be throwing down your pool ASAP.

Not really a strat question but why does ladder make you play like 10+ games of the same race in a row? It's kinda annoying when you want to practice against a certain race, also it gets kind of tiring playing 10+ zvz

I feel like this isn't completely true. You can do just fine not Drone scouting AT ALL in ZvZ. Your Overlord placement should be efficient enough to see an aggressive pool even if you hatch first. Cancelling the hatch, throwing down a pool and killing the Zerglings with your Drones with proper "drone drilling" gets you in the lead.
If you're worried about a 10 pool, do something safe like a 14 gas 14 pool build. No need to ever Drone scout.

It doesn't. Just statistics and luck and timing. The ladder system, to my knowledge, has no bias on what races you play. It's all in your head.

I'm searching for matches of the 2 Fac Double Reactor Hellion Build like the Build Mvp did at Blizzcon to improve my own build order and transition.
i know the following matches:
Mvp vs. Nestea GSL October
Mvp vs. Toodming Blizzcon
MMA vs. Sleep IPL Season
Does anyone know other matches? I hope you guys can help me.
Thanks
