Now what do u guys say, keep it like this and just practise a lot untill you never make misstakes anymore on your keyboards,(as better players never look at their keyboard anymore anyway i assume)? Or just buy a new one and dont make any mistakes but with looking sometims? it gets me realy frustrating but maybe it's a great way to learn... | ||

why do i not see ebay blocks in tvz, but i see them in tvp >< (my reasoning being that ebay block= much better than a pylon block, and toss does that all the time?) | ||

I just got promoted from Diamond to Master League and wonder why I have a huge Bonus Pool right now. (over 200points) My old Bonus pool was completly empty before getting promoted. Is it just because you gain more Bonus Pool when you are in Master league? So i got the bonus pool now, which I missed during my time in Diamond? Or is it something different? Also: Does anyone know how they determine how many points I lose because of the promotion? (just out of curiosity, not that it matters after all) | ||

(just out of curiosity, not that it matters after all) Masters league gains Bonus Pool at a faster rate than Diamond, so you'll have been given what you would have had there. When you get promoted you also get 73 points + whatever bonus pool you had spent so far that season. This thread is the perfect source for any questions on ladder rank related issues. | ||

Or just buy a new one and dont make any mistakes but with looking sometims? it gets me realy frustrating but maybe it's a great way to learn... For a gold level player i would not say that should be one of your big concerns, the fact that you look at your keyboard or not. I made it to platinium on the back of a laptop keyboard and a touchpad so... I still look down @ my keyboard from time to time, when i reach for hotkey 8-10... so if it really gets you pissed i'd say change it If you want to change it i would recomment getting a logitech G110. They are not that expensive (got mine @ 60$, was an open box but still in perfect condition.) It's not a mechanical keyboard but it served me well now and it has every little function you could possibly want. | ||

Thanks for answers 1. Wall off with forge, build a cannon or two. 2. Wall off with gateways, build another cannon. Cancel gateways before they finish if they're not needed anymore. 3. Probe like mad, take an expansion earlier than normal. 4. Probe like mad, don't expand, scout to see how he follows up. | ||

I'm curious, I thought the response to that was to build a Pylon at your main and put a cannon there? Am I out of date? Somehow it feels like I'm being sarcastic when I read that but I mean it as a serious qustion, I'm Zerg and random a bit but I suck with Toss. | ||

I prefer to wall completely if i get 6-pooled. | ||

You can't possibly wall natural in time unless everything works out nicely. (very VERY small choke, terrible opponent, scouting early) Practically, it is impossible to wall natural when facing 6pool as FFE player. Correct response to 2) what is the proper response to 6pool when going FFE? would be 1. Build pylon at your main, preferably behind your mineral line, never in open area. 2. Build cannon INSIDE your mineral line when forge finishes using the pylon you just made. Place it slightly off to 1 side so that the cannon covers one of your 2 gases. You need to secure gas off of that cannon alone. 3. Micro your probes. Lings will usually arrive before cannon finishes, so protect it while you scare 6 lings off with your 15+ probes. Losing a few probes is fine, although losing none would be excellent and possible. 4. Mine again when cannon finishes. SACRIFICE forge and pylon at front. You are still ahead in workers. 5. Transition into 1 base build with gateway & gas. Some prefers to simply go 4 gate to kill, others go expand like you normally would with your 1 base sentry expand. Protoss is usually ahead when holding 6 pool successfully this way without losing too many probes while microing. You are ahead, it' just that you are not used to the sutiation, not nearly enough. Therefore, you might die in confusion how to follow up. | ||

An extra pylon is all that's needed. Below White-Ra demonstrates this against a 7-pool, but it's doable against a 6-pool as well (you have enough minerals to get the pylon up just in time). | ||
