Is it possible to delete his account and use the key from his account on my guest pass? No. You can use the free name-change though. | ||

There's absolutely no difference whatsoevet between bronze and silver, so it shouldn't be a big deal. | ||

A special macro exercise I learned was to just load up a game against an AI (of any level you are comfortable vs) where you are not allowed to attack, only defend. Macro up, saturating your bases and making units (idk how good your macro is at present and what league you are, but at minimum you should go for 2 bases). Your goal is to reach a max out as soon as possible and then, once you are at 200/200, attack to make the AI surrender. Your time then becomes your score, and then it becomes very easy to see your progress. | ||

Maybe this is stylistic, but i was wondering if anyone put some thought into this. It is stylistic. You can rally all 3 cc to your new base, or select half from both to go to the third and keep the rallies normal. For sure its best to mule your newest base at all times. And also you can use camera hotkeys to transfer much quicker. | ||

The problem you describe is probably from playing random in team games. You'll have to make sure you put it to back to protoss before you hit that 1v1 Find Match button. This has happened to me several times too. | ||

PvZ, on maps where the natural gas is easily spottable by an overlord (daybreak, korhal, one on cloud kingdom, etc), how much would it mess the zerg up if you got a decently fast 3rd and 4th gas (like you were getting tech), but as soon as they complete you pull probes off gas in your main, and you followed that up with a hard 7-8gate all-in? // obviously patrol a stalker at the edge of your main I guess my question is, how influenced are zerg's decision making by seeing a fast 3rd/4th gas? Do they even know what it means or do they just derp and read nothing into it. | ||

Do they even know what it means or do they just derp and read nothing into it. It's not a stupid mindgame, but it's fairly high level. Below diamond, I wouldn't necessarily expect a player to have a build refined to the point that they're modifying their timings based on gas count. Which would mean that you just sacrificed 150 minerals and had no impact on your opponent's play. It seems to me like something you would mostly want to do in a tournament game when you've been able to look at your opponent's play and you've established that they respond to 3rd and 4th gas in a way that is totally unsafe against a gateway all-in. | ||
