I'm a high diamond terran. At what point should I start to diversify my builds for each matchup, so I can have around 2-3 builds per matchup instead of just one?

Quick question. When going Marine Tank Medivac wouldn't it be good to add on some hellbats? You are likely already going armory for tank upgrades and you can replace one of the rax for a reactored factory. Hellbats are a good mineral sink like rines are and they are healed by medivacs just like rines.

Against Ling-bling-muta a few hellbats would be able to soak up some bling hits due to their higher HP and they are stupid good against lings. The only one of those units that would be a threat to the hellbat would be mutas. However the hellbat can soak up a lot of muta hits and would be able to take a lot of the rebound damage off the rines who would be able to kill the mutas. They also have a lot of HP and are fairly big (meaning they are more spread out) making fungal less effective.

If the zerg went with extra mutas and not as many ling-bling then you could add on a thor or two in response. Also, they benefit from tank upgrades.


However, I never really see a terran do this. Is there any reason that I am not seeing? Is it simply too expensive or something? Does it have to do with upgrades in some way?

I've been watching the GSL. Why is it that in TvZ, all the top Ts are going widow mine + bio (w/medivacs) as the mainstay rather than siege tanks? I saw this used against roach hydra in the midgame and I felt that siege tanks would have been way better than the widow mines in this case. Of course, against muta ling bling I can understand the mines a lot more.

Hi my tag on Sc is CCdata. My main is Terran, I'm actually playing in Korea around 900pts master there. I'm having BIG problems with Protoss when they get Colossus/Phenix combo... My bio just get totally raped. Vikings just get overkilled by Phenix (don't even have the time to focus Colossus... then the colossus just end my Bio...Front fighting that combo is just out of question... Do you guys have any idea?

When defending against a medivac drop, should you target the medivac first or the marines in TvT?

I Always go after the medivac first. That way they can't heal or run away. Granted if the medivac is too well defended you will have to go after the marines first.

First off, registered to give a shout out to the community here. SC2 is my first RTS game ever and for as daunting as the game seemed at first, this community sure helps a hell of a lot. Just got promoted to gold after a little less than a month thanks to you guys.

My big question: What are some of the best places to watch the pro's play? I was trying to find stuff on Life and Zoro since I play zerg but it was harder than I thought. I know about twitch, some youtube channels, and gosu but I wanted to check before I paid for that site. Thanks ahead of time.

http://www.youtube.com/user/ESportsTV this is proleague, but for the best of the best Id go with http://www.gomtv.net, GSL, the best 1v1 tournament. There is a small subscription fee for vods though.

InTvP should I split my bio like when I am facing banelings? Also, should I be using the patrol split method or just pre splitting is enough?.

Don't over do it. Focus on a good concave, and try to let the marauders soke as much damage as possible! If you are a micro god you can split out of storm, but for us (me) mortals its easier to just run out of them!

Hey guys, Do you think that the 1 rax gasless expand into 10 min bio,+1 attack, shield, stim, 2 medivacs timing in every match ups can work in low/high master ? because I've been promoted recently into master and I am trying to improve my mechanics by having one simple build, and try to macro as good as I can with it (like 10 min 50 scv and 100 food benchmark, etc...), but I have to be sure that it's still viable in this league.

Did anyone crack the code which is MMR? Or anyone have any info?

I hate this stupid system. 3 days ago I was matching all mid masters with 800 + pts. Now, after a small break and 100 bonus pool, I match 2 golds, 2 plats, 2 diamonds. I got 932 pts in Masters. Like wtf wtf wtf.

You CAN play like that, but you will have some problems in tvz. Since you got no helions, you can be all inned+ have no map control. The pros mix in your build rarely, but not standard at all. In tvt, it's hard to go gasless these days due to reapers. In tvp, it works great. I like to follow up with a 2 base all in. If you're planning it a third, squeezing it out before the factory is better since it will pay off quicker and your late game will be stronger.

There is no "code" on mmr, its just hidden. Its perfectly possible to guess with fairly accuracy what mmr you are with programs such as sc2gears.

So far as I'm aware this thread remains the best resource on MMR in SC2.

Just a quick question, I've played WoL for a while before and just picked up HotS, I know a bit about the new units in the game, do they change opening strategies/build orders significantly? Are most of the builds from WoL (fe: 2 rax, 4gate) still viable in HotS?

They changed the damage from 15 (+20 vs armored) to just 35 vs everything.
