concept mapcontrol. you either herrass terran with mass mutas so he isn´t capable to easy expanding or you are aktiv with lots of lings and roaches and attack him, when he´s just moving out.

In zvt, this terran just mass expanded everywhere.... He put a PF with 6-8 turrets at each expo and I couldnt kill it, how do I kill them? They seem fucking invincible and it pisses me off.

The best way to kill a PF is to kill it while it is morphing. If he does manage to get it up with 6-8 turrets, the best way would be to get broodlords because they outrange turrets or to get ultralisks and attack move to kill all the repairing SCVs before killing the PF.

Whats a good opening in ZvT besides a 15hatch? What about ZvP? I want to be cannon proof in zvp.
I want the best macro build that isnt a hatch first, im saying.

If you don't mind my asking, why do you not like 15 hatch? It is by FAR the most economical build in ZvT while still being reasonably safe.
For ZvP, you can open with 14 pool, 14 gas and do a speedling expand. To be cannon proof, you'll have to wait until your lings are out to kill any pylons or probes to put down your expo.

Get both. a couple of immortals and couple of colossus. When he blinks up to attack your colossi, the immortals wil shred him, as will your zealots that you made because youa re spending all your gas.

If you go robo tech vs blink I would get 2x immortal out while building the robo bay then get the collos. I usually get 2x collosus before getting the range upgrade. Then range and 1 more and push with 3 collos 2 immortal and some stalker/lots with 1-2 sentry at the most just for the GS.

Because I hate when they make a bunker behind my nat, uncommited. It loses me the game.

Hi guys, I was watching the MLG Providence replays and noticed something weird. In lots of TvTs, strong players like SC and marineking go 1 rax fe, then double gas, then 1/1/1. Isn't this an instant loss against proxy marauder or just 3 rax marine? Most of the time they don't scout their opponent either.

Is there a way to restart a game (not a replay, a game) from a certain point when practicing?

I.E. I want to work on defending a 4 gate, but don't want to practice anything before I scout it.

You can use the save function if you play in Singleplayer Vs AI rather than custom game, at least you could at some point I believe. As the name implies though, single player only.

Hihi I've seen some cool stuff in TvZ where you open with normal reactor hellion expo and then try for a bit of a bust on the spine(s) with a marauder. But when I've seen that, I didnt play terran so I didnt notice the details. Now I cant remember any of the specific games to take a second look.

Basically I'm just wondering if that attack typically hits with the very first marauder or if you wait for 2/3?

In late game zerg when I have 5+ hatcheries should I have enough queens to inject every one? If so what would be the maximum amount of queens I should ever have?

Why is the mini-map cursor a trapezoid? This question has been seriously plaguing my psyche since beta.

Is there a way to send your SCV's (3 to each gas, and the rest to minerals) without actually clicking the individual SCV's. I saw Catz pull his Drones because of a drop, and once the drop was clear, it looked like he just clicked a couple buttons and 3 went to each gas, and the rest to minerals. Thank you - Sean

Because it's 3D and you're looking at it from an angle, thus your view expands as stuff gets further away. If it was top down it would be a rectangle.

Edit: Note as the lines of the cursor changes as it goes over cliffs. It is a cursor highlighting exactly what you see on the screen.

He probably boxed them all, clicked the gas, then shift clicked the drones 3 times (shift clicking a selected unit deselects only that unit) and then clicked the other gas and repeated etc. Also, you can either click the drones in game or just the icon in the bottom middle.

Because you don't look at the game from the top-down, it represents the camera frustum.

Does anyone have some good replays of a zerg player defending an agressive 2 rax after going hatch first?
