Can someone explain to me what difference there is as far as gameplay mechanics? http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/game/unit/roach None whatsoever. I think the damage types actually refer to the death animation from the weapons, but I could be wrong here. | ||

Your best bet is a 14 pool, another drone or two, then drop your hatch unless he pylon blocks it. In which case you can wait for your 2 lings and clear the pylon, or take your third as your first expansion if you know he's fast expanding himself. Gas timing really depends on what your opponents doing/how quickly you think you'll need lair or ling speed. | ||

That's doesn't really answer his question... Without a wall-off, you want to keep all of your SCVs together so that none can get picked off easily, and try to run away if you have a marine coming out. Once the marine pops out, attack move with your SCVs and make sure that your marine doesn't get killed by drones focus firing him. | ||

However, I think it's important for the OP to know that walling off vs zerg is vital. It denies scouting, and it prevents a swarm of zerglings from running around in his main. Most players wall off with a supply depot at 10 supply, a barracks at 12 supply, and a 2nd supply depot at 16 supply. | ||

The basic theory is to drop the immortal, let it fire, then immediately pick it up, before the opposing unit(in this case the spine) can fire. With the roaches, or any other unit really, it's much, much harder, but essentially is just a timing puzzle with the various shots/reloads. He also makes amazing use of the fact that he has two immortals in there, taking as much shield damage as possible before running. As for key combos, I don't know exactly what he uses, but what I do(which works for me anyway) is unload all button, click spot>let it fire>right click immortal to pick it up, no need to move mouse at all really. Get the timing right, adjust for lag a little, and it's really, really quick. If there are two in there and they both have around the same health, they cycle in drops, which is beneficial. If there are two and one is badly injured, you can still drop the other by clicking on it's icon, although this only gives you enough time to pick it up against very slow attacking units, like the spines. | ||

You can see this because when the first immortal drops, you can see the frame for the 2nd one that's still inside change; that only happens to show that the dropship is about to drop that unit (AKA it's not done dropping units). Also since he's dropping two immortals one after the other, it makes more sense than if he were to just click the immortal icons below. | ||

The Horse logo is an adage to the Lotr scene where gandalf summons water horses, They actually started using it as a banner before that but eventually nazgul liked it that way. They now have the rights to that image (which is actually reversed of the real painting). Not sure where Teamliquid came from though. | ||

Point the prism toward the thing you want to attack, so the units you drop start out facing that way. | ||
