Oops thanks - I knew I'd read the answer somewhere... just cound't remember what it was. Another question: Why are armor upgrades considered important for a Protoss player going for archons? I would think that since armour accounts for such a small proportion of the archon's total hit points (most of the hit points being shields) that armor upgrades wouldn't be very useful for archons. | ||

I don't know where you got that information. Upgrades depend on the match-up, can you be a little more precise with your question ? If you're looking for a general answer, I'd have to say it's because you usually get mass zealots with archons, and armored zealots are pretty good at doing what they do best : tank damage. | ||

I think he meant "in comparison with shield upgrades" since archons are mostly shield. But yes, usually with archons you have lots of mostly-hit-points zealots. That, and with Archons PvT you often fight against ghosts, who will emp the shields off of your zealots, meaning they benefit even less from shield upgrades. | ||

What is the best way to watch on your ipad? I don't see an app (I see apps for full vods of past seasons, but nothing for current). Thanks- | ||

Preferably a roach ling attack hits before he can get much of a sim city up in his natural. Once your third base is morphing, build a macro hatch in your main and get either spire tech or infestor tech. Check out this ZvP guide: Zerg versus Protoss: Fall of the First Born | ||

i just played a ladder game and i was revealed because i had no more nexus. my opponent had marines and he killed a building i had on high ground from the low ground, without having vision (i checked the replay). is it supposed to work that way? i'm revealed -> he doesnt need high ground vision to shoot my buildings? Thanks | ||

For example, if I know I'm playing against a Zerg on TDA, I'll place a pylon immediately towards the front of my natural, scout on 9 (in case of an early pool, and also to try and block a FE) and then place down a forge to start the wall (for my own defense, and to threaten cannons at the Zerg's natural if needed). Then I'll FE. On the other hand, I'm never going to open up with a forge in PvP. 1base, 4gate, 1gas all day long (and I'm perfectly comfortable doing this build). Against Terran, my opening is going to be similar enough to how I would open against a Protoss (at least, I would open up with the same gateway on 12 and then a gas, and then I'd find out the race of my opponent by then and then switch strategies accordingly), so that's not the hugest problem in the world. So I guess my problem is when I'm against Random players on TDA, I'll need to open up with a one base play (or, at least, gateway first), just in case it's Terran or Protoss instead of Zerg, but then I'm afraid that I'll fall behind if I end up actually playing against a Zerg, because I can't take my own second base very quickly, and/ or I can't pressure early on. Or can I? | ||

Thanks If you're revealed he gains vision of all your buildings regardless of whether he has any units nearby. So, yes, it is supposed to work that way. | ||

Thanks Yes, when you are revealed, your opponent gets full vision of all of your buildings. So high ground wont help in that case. | ||

Or can I? As a random player, I guess I can answer this. OPEN STANDARD!!!!! I understand that Day9 and a whole bunch of other people have drilled it into your head that you should only have 1 build for each race. However, without proper scouting, on a large map it is sometimes impossible. Find an opening that works against every race. Personally, I open 3 gate expo (vs a random on TDA) to be safe against a zerg and against a terran, and against a protoss. You also get up the nexus relatively quickly, and you can put on pressure. | ||

The same against greedy builds like 15 nexus, 1gate expand etc. Against a sentry heavy play i should prefer the ghost build but it's really hard and gimmicky to predict if the protoss player is going sentry heavy or not... :/ but i will definitely try this out. I love the ghost timing push (before the patch i did it a lot and beat 90% of my games) but now i feel like "a medivac opening is better because the faster starport tech and ebay with upgrades. anyone another opinion or maybe the same? Is it "smart" to play the ghost timing push against a 3gate+robo and the DT rush? | ||
