My question is pretty simple:

Which maps, if any, in the current map pool, have close positions blocked?

I think I know that Metalopolis and Shakuras do, but is there anything else?

I have a similar problem, I know helions are coming out and ive seen pros manage to hold off with just queen and spines. I wanted to BBust him but his helions just owned me.


TLDR -.is it necessary to get roaches to hold off helions

Watching Nestea vs Mvp, at 7 mins in Nestea only has 3 queens, no lings and 1 spine crawler. What if Mvp suddenly rushes with him with a large squad? I'm having problems handling those who go all in early on.

It is completely scouting. Without watching the replay I would say that Nestea scouted something that told him there wasn't a big marine push coming any time soon, so he didn't make lings or spine crawlers. Some things that would cause this would be a CC first build or double gas.

Are there any websites where I can see what I'm ranked within the entire region? I know sc2ranks is one but it doesn't work well as it says a bronze leaguer that hasnt played any games Season 4 is ranked top 1 etc.

Yeah, something wonky has happened to sc2ranks since season 4. Will probably be fixed soon. If you click on your name, you'll be able to see how you're ranked in your region an global..but again, it might be unreliable considering point 1.

There is no other site to my knowledge.

This is quite a vague question. If you are 3 gate expanding, then you want to have up to 6 or 7 sentries to be sure that you are safe. In general, having more than ~10 sentries isn't a good idea because it is very likely that you won't use all of the energy on those sentries and the heavy gas investment (100 per sentry) is better used towards something else.

And have the game designers take note of your suggestion? Probably find out who designs the UI, then hand-deliver a piece of mail to their front door. Otherwise, post on b.net and be ignored like the other 99%.

http://drop.sc/50735


Right now, hellion expand is pretty popular, and unlike the pros, most people on ladder are looking to kill drones, not just get map control. *Most* of the pro games that I've seen, a slowly growing group of hellions (by that, I mean with no more than 1 reactored factory pumping them out) merely sit outside of the creep, stopping creep spread, and taking map control so that the terran can expand. Most pros are careful to not just run in there, with the sole intention of killing as many drones as possible, unless you are MKP and went 4 reactored factories.

Unfortunately, that's not the case on the ladder (at least in my experience). They get blue flames and your drones are in grave peril because they don't care so much about map control. When you know that hellions are coming, throw up 1-2 spines at the entrance of your mineral line and one at the front of the base. Make the entrance of your ramp to your main narrower by placing an evo there and blocking off with your queen, so that you at least know that the drones in your main is safe. Send lings only to block his entry if he gets too aggressive or you know you have an overwhelming force of lings because he stopped hellion production.

But if you are looking to be aggressive, you'll need roaches. baneling busts wont work unless he has absolutely shitty control

Thanks , I just figured that if I start going roaches , the terran is waiting for that tech switch so that he can just get marauders and kill me outright.
