10 or earlier. Against protoss, however, I don't really see a reason to go pool-first at all unless you scout something like a 2-gate. THAT part I'm not qualified to say for sure though  | ||

Also, imagine one group of the marines is slightly large (3 more), but they are in the back of the group and don't affect the distance drawn. Does this change anything? I'm just wondering, mainly because, I stimmed a single marauder forward in one of my last games and the single colossus targeted him over the much larger group of marines slightly behind and to the left of the marauder. | ||

If there are two individual groups of units approaching it from the same side (say, of marines) which are equidistant to the colo/ST, which one will the UI target?

I'm just wondering, mainly because, I stimmed a single marauder forward in one of my last games and the single colossus targeted him over the much larger group of marines slightly behind and to the left of the marauder. AFAIK the UI will auto target whatever units are closer to itself. If two units are equidistant from the unit, then the UI will target the unit that is closest to its current point of aiming. (closest to whichever way it is facing) In your scenario, the marauder was closer to the collosus than the marines, so the collosus targeted the marauder. | ||

It feels like ive tried everything, everytime i build hydras in high numbers, the colossus followup just wrecks me but if i build them in low numbers, the protoss just keeps on getting more Phoenixes and kill them. What should i do? Is there any rule on how many hydras to make or something ? Is there any other way to encounter the 2 stargate push? I'd really love some answers because ive lost about 10 games to this strategy and i am kinda sick of it. Don't build large numbers of hydras, as a general rule, if you build more than ~12 hydras vs protoss you're going to get decimated by storms and colossus. | ||

(starport factory, probably siege mode too maybe cloak) Regardless of whether or not you think this is an all in, you have not answered whether there is an already established build order for this or something like it. Does anyone know? | ||

Your MMR will be considered highly volatile with only 17 games played, so you should probably not count on a promotion at end of season (next week), but if you keep it up you'll most likely get a mid-season promotion. | ||

Do I mirror it and try to out-micro my opponent, do I go zealot+archon, mass immortals+colossus, or what? geting blink yourself and a few immortals( like 3-5 or more depending on stalker count ) then adding in either archons (if he is really zealot heavy) or colossi( anything else) is a good idea. once you get blink + immortals, you can completely shut down his harass as immortals will smash him if he engages directly and if he runs u can blink and kill a few of his stalkers every time. stalkers are not good in direct engagements other than to snipe off colossi kinda like mutalisks so u have to just defend them. if u get immortals and blink of your own and still get beaten by mass blink stalkers, you either took too much damage from harass or just had poor macro or had ur army on move command the entire fight. chargelots are not actually that good against blink stalker harass unless u can get the stalkers to blink straight into them. otherwise the stalkers will just blink out and snipe a few zealots every time u attack into his army. in a direct confrontation, zealots dont scale as well as stalkers. | ||

1: If you have more than one building on a hotkey, i know you can tab to do stuff with diff ones, but can you centre camera on different buildings? 2: when you double tap a hotkey with say 3 CCs on it, how does it decide where your camera goes? Thanks | ||

I should add though that whilst some say it still works I can't seem to get it to since the last patch but I'm mentioning it here as some people still swear it works and I can't seem to find a difinitive answer one way or the other. The best guarenteed way to stop it is to simply have a drone sat blocking where the pylons would keep you locked out if your Protoss opponent has a probe around your natural, until you can get Zerglings out to deal with any potential block. If they do go down cancel your expansion and either go scout with the Drone or expand somewhere else. Proxy Hatch can be pretty deadly against this if you can sneak it in as the opponent will have gone early Forge, likely FFE with late Gateways and 450 minerals of investment outside your base, but it is a very risky strategy. Either way though you should probably drop a Roach warren as it'll help you break the contain, but also provide the units you need if you do proxy Hatch. If you do expand somewhere else beware of them placing canons whil you're building it, if you can direct an Overlord over it, it will help ensure safety through vision. So things to be doing inside your base are, in short, teching like mad. You can't expand right now so do what you'd be doing if you couldn't attack your opponent's front and couldn't expand, in the same way if you get Pylon blocked you'd place your Pool and Gas and go back to expanding later. This can mean a few things, either going Roaches quickly to break the contain and get back on track or rushing to Lair and maybe considering a Hydra bust or drop/nydus play with Hydra and/or Roach. Whilst that's going on you will want to extend your creep to your ramp, a Spine Crawler and ranged units can deal damage from the high ground and when it's opened up you can break out and expand in to a normal macro game again, which may sound odd but once again remember your opponent was 450 minerals behind in doing that contain, which makes you immune to any sort of ground aggression until at least Warp Prism, or a very late Gateway push where they break the contain for you. One final thing, don't panic. | ||
