Why is Naniwa not going to HSC 8?


Because it's a social event, and most of the E-sport scene do not find him very likeable.

I can't tell if you are serious.

Did he actually not give any reason or say something to the extent of he doesn't like the event?

Does anyone have a good pro replay of rain's 1gate fe? I found a good vod of ShowTimE doing it against MVP at WCS season 3, but I can't find an actual replay of a pro doing it under pressure.

How do you cancel a moving drop? Say I just started a drop while medivac is moving but lings or something come too fast and I need to abort. How?

I don't think there's a way to keep the medivac moving and just stop it dropping, but I would do it by hitting 'S' (if you still have stop on the default hotkey) and reissuing a move command.

Hi guys,

After a long hiatus, I don't really feel like I know how to scout properly. I guess if there's no third expo before 8 mins vs T and P there's a 10 minute timing coming, right? and anything earlier would mean a delayed nat, right?

I don't know how the meta is but I used to 14g14p against zerg, putting pressure. When HOTS came out I couldn't quite keep up against 2 base muta, so I went 15h for a while, but I think now that spores are buffed muta rushes are out, so I can go back to 14/14?

I will 15h16p against terran with 4 queens and a third when the second set are done (around 36 ish), take all gas after that and continue (i.e. when a 13 scout rules out early gas for possible reapers). Still standard?

Against P I'm toying with the idea of the speed expand, leaving one drone on gas for early burrow to deal with gateway all ins. Otherwise I think ppl stay on 2 base rather than the 70+ supply at 8 min old benchmark?

Please let me know your thoughts on any of these questions.

In homestory cup 8 that just finished, other than dayshii versus hero game 1, were there any games where the terran went mech (any match up though preferably tvz/tvp)?

I read that Thorzain meched against Hasuobs, also Happy meched against Hyun I do believe.

What's better to get in muta vs muta first ? +1 flyer attack or +1 carapace?

+1 carapace

Reason for this is that +attack has diminishing returns on second and third bounce I think it's +1/.66/.33 or something along those lines but the +armor gives +1/1/1 against all bounces also.

In TvT, I've been working on opening banshee, but I struggle a lot vs early reaper pressure. I almost never manage to hold vs 2-3 reapers, and if I do, I'm horribly behind economically. Any recommendations for TvT macro builds that do well vs early (reaper) pressure? I have no problem holding marauder rushes, as those are silly.

I just checked this in matchmaking vs an AI opponent, it would seem an unpowered Cybercore still lets you warp in stalkers. So to answer your question: yes.

Once you destroy the core, this is no longer the case, of course. If you have selected to warp in a stalker, and have the outline of the stalker, but haven't clicked to confirm warping in, and the cybercore is destroyed, the outline will disappear, and you can't warp in stalkers anymore.

I've got a question!

I want to learn to use camera hotkeys and the minimap in general a lot more, so I am a lot more aware of he minimap and play a lot quicker. I feel like my 'slowness' en inaccuracy when clicking the minimap hold me back a bit.

Any way to really practice this well?

Set 1st, 2nd, and 3rd base camera keys at the beginning of the game. (Race dependant) set a camera key to your rally in whenever you move them.

I have F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 as base hotkeys (1 through 5 respectively) and Space as Rally point.

I set them before the 8th worker usually. But halfway through the game, I'll never use them ever. I don't use Space as Z either because I hotkey my eggs...

Play games against the AI, unranked, or if you don't care in ranked, with your mouse scroll set to 0. Use ctrl+f (or whatever your hotkey is for centering the camera on your selection) to get to your army. Not really any solution for not using the mini-map instead, but it will at least help eliminate scrolling which is the more detrimental habit.
