People who download your replay packs are there to watch you play well and want to see you at your best. That being said though, some of your best games could be losses. When I was applying to join the team that I am on now half of the replays that I sent were losses, it does show some humility and also that you look at games objectively leaving out the emotions of winning or losing. But again, there's nothing wrong with just wins as well. Toss me a link to your replay pack through PM when you post it - I'd like to check a few out. | ||

I watch all my games but it'S very indecisive, i can't find a thing to work on at a time, and the result is that i don't improve as much as i should. It is very hard for me to search and find a style(Ex:Bio, Bio/mech, mech...) and then stick to it for better and faster improvement. So in the hope that you'll heLp me, i give you some replays : http://www.2shared.com/file/yDtMWW6l/replay_pack_ace.html It would be awsome if you help me just a little. Hey - I would love to help, but can you upload individual replays to drop.sc or some other replay site? I am not interested in downloading entire packs right now or from that site. | ||

Overall I think you played well but think you should take some serious work on multitasking when attacking. Your macro could use a lot of work when attacking. Your read on his build was also non-existent, when he doesn't take a third you need more knowledge on his play, you should have used your hellions more efficiently and had extra defense ready. I hope this helps some - I'll watch a replay or two more later, good luck have fun!  | ||

Overall I think that your biggest problem here was that you kept fighting him head to head. You should really start dropping and trying to put pressure on him without just engaging into his superior army while on creep (this is a HUGE deal, try to not engage on creep, use scans or a raven to clear it out), and not splitting. good luck have fun future matches | ||

If you scout a spire being built/completed, how do you determine if the zerg is going mutas or corrupters for brood tech? Last game I saw a spire and put up a bunch of turrets, but the spire was just there so that it could later be a greater spire. | ||

Last game I saw a spire and put up a bunch of turrets, but the spire was just there so that it could later be a greater spire. Slightly tricky without knowing some more information about the game. It depends on when you spot things. It's extremely rare for someone to make only ling bling and just get a spire for bl; It's even more rare to open with the spire and not build mutas. So, if you scan and scout a spire done between 11-13 (maybe later if you're a in a lower league) they're probably building some mutas. If it's later than that, most likely it's for bl. Also, if you play mech and they scout it, you should assume it's for bl (though if it's early in the game they could still get some mutas to see if they could do damage) | ||

1. What is the standard/safe opening for TvT. I usually skip gas for fast exp. 3 rax, 2 with tech and add in factory for siege/port for medivac 2. How should i prevent drop from opponent? Last few game, I manage to out macro enemy and have 1/2 base over them. I was pushing back and lock them in but they just drop medivac at my expo, kill off svc and sometimes even CC. Should i alwasy build sensor tower to prevent this? 3. I am not quite sure the meta of TvT is anymore. when i played SC 2 a year ago, It was that you control the air, you control the game but it doesnt seem that way anymore. Anyone mind explaining the meta of TvT as of right now? | ||

You should look at his previous gas usage leading up to the spire being complete. If a player is going mutas he will have spent minimal amounts of gas leading up to the spire because mutas are extremely costly in gas. If you see him making almost entirely lings and a few banes he will probably be getting mutas (but even then it's not certain, just more likely). If you see that he has a ton of roaches and upgrades on roaches and such he is probably not going to get mutas, at least not in a count that should be threatening. You should also try and scout the rest of his base to see if he has an infestation pit or a hive getting started - these are tell-tale signs as well. | ||

Another useful tell is whether Zerg is pooling larva as the Spire nears completion, since it's very common for Zerg to build a large number of Mutalisks right as the Spire completes. | ||

I tried using camera hotkey to my play now, so using f2 f3 f4 or so to my bases. Problem is, f1 s idle worker by default. I can change it to ` , however I just realized something annoying. If I want to select ALL my idle workers, normally I would click control + f1, however since changing it to `, I cannot do control + `. Rather, I have to do it one by one (pressing `) This is so disappointing, I hope there is a fix to this? I just want to be able to select all idle workers by clicking control + `. If I cannot do this, then I have to use default for idel worker, which is f1... | ||

It gets your first units out faster, and it gets your cybercore and thus your warpgate faster. It's a question of trading a few seconds of mining for having your first gateway a few seconds faster, but because early-game PvP so frequently features heavy aggression of some kind by one side or the other, the few seconds can make a huge difference. Getting WG five seconds fastercan be a game-winning advantage, whereas having a few extra minerals will more rarely make much of a difference. | ||

I may just be stupid, but is the Public Test Realm for SC2 live? When I launch Public Test Realm.exe in my starcraft folder, it does nothing. Nothing happens. What could be wrong? Or am I just.. dumb? Apologies for non-strategy topic. | ||
