I was 1v1ing today and I thought it was weird that they said I didn't have enough gas for an observer when I had 75 gas, so I moused over the observer icon and apparently it was 25/100? EDIT: Now I'm confused because people have been telling me that it still costs the same. | ||

I need a second pair of eyes, PvT is by far my worst matchup but i cant shake the feeling that i am making terrible terrible mistakes somewhere or everywhere to lose to such caliber of opponent so easily. I know my scouting was bad but that does not change the outcome of the game. I feel like i should be able to take landslide victories over people at this MMR - Their equals fall very easily to simple all ins - When i try to play an extended game vs terran though, this happens and im not sure why, i need to know where i am going horribly wrong to lose to somebody that i would hardly consider an honest opponent. I could make up some intricate all in and win almost every game vs terran at this level, but i dont want to, i want to fix this. Any help? I dont think this is worthy of a big strat forum post. | ||

I'm low master t who can hold my own with protoss in my league. I feel main reason you lost was bad ordering, but first things first, chrono boost is so valuable to get upgrades out fast for toss. You should use it non stop on forge/twilight. The 1 coli into twilight build is actually pretty hard to use against 2 base all in or heavy 2 base pressure because you're investing a lot into a tech which doesn't do much (robo+robotics+coli). So because of this, your timings need to be crisp. -At 9:08 you're at 42 probes. You should be making them non stop if you're going to expo. At 10:50, you're at 45. -You get blink, then your expo, then warp prism speed, then +2, then charge, then templar at 11:50. Blink is useless in this situation. A warp prism is only going to get you into a base trade which you will lose. You need to be chrono boosting out +2 and charge like your life depends on it. The sooner you get your forge up and chrono boosting, the better. You probably want +2 and charge before you expo, especially if he opened heavy 2 base. A couple sentries wouldn't hurt either for guardian shield and stopping the 10 min medi timing (ff front while sending forces to main). Eventually you will need storm out. Sooner the better (depends on how much you're pressured), but if you don't have splash dmg by 12 min you're going to get stomped. This could've been much more deadly if he dropped 2 medis in your main while hitting the third. | ||

I think it can be useful for PvP(cut some seconds, with a ~3s delay on probes and no mineral loss(5? at 3:10) and 4 gate(warping units at 5:35 easily, so I guess can be done at 5:30 too) | ||

Why would you 8pylon? You are just cutting probes and then spending your first chrono boost earlier (immediately after starting pylon) 4gate, you can have 4 gateways and warpgate finished at about 5:23 on some maps if you are really really hardcore about it. In an actual game situation, you can add 3-5 seconds to that (ive hit 5:27 at least a dozen times with zeal, stalker, +3 gates, stalker from 12gate) but most people dont get it til 5:35 or even a bit later, even in masters, because they miss subtle optimization things. | ||

It seems to be an indicator of how much of each gametype (1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4) you've played; that is, a percentage of your total games represented as a bar. Sadly, it doesn't pertain to your MMR or proximity to the next league. | ||

Are you certain? It seems useless to provide just a graphic indication to how many games were played. Have you filled up this progress bar already? Thanks in advance. | ||

Can you micro widowmines? It feels like even if you spam click, the target it chooses is pretty random. Maybe you have to shiftclick it? Did anyone test this? | ||

The other thing is that with the new patch the button in the top right corner disappeared as well where we could see race of the opponent. Very handy when you missed loading screen and you have no idea who are you facing. Is there any way during the match to check that? | ||

Very handy when you missed loading screen and you have no idea who are you facing. Is there any way during the match to check that? Under Gameplay options there is a checkbox called something like "Enable simplified command card". Un-check this. And the second thing you mentioned doesn't seem to affect me? Maybe you've set something odd. I'm not sure about that. | ||

EDIT: Now I'm confused because people have been telling me that it still costs the same. Observers cost 25/75, there was possibly a glitch going on, or you were in a custom map. Observers have only ever costed either 50/100 or 25/75. They were changed from 50/100 to 25/75 in patch 1.2.0. Observer - Liquipedia | ||

Hope that helps! | ||
