Is it ok to have multiply Sc2 accounts that only I use, or is this against the rules? Thanks.

What are some popular Terran build orders atm? vs Zerg hellbat-timings, see homepage of tl: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-strategy/461729-the-return-of-the-hellbatsvs Terran, you can do reaper scout + expand + banshee harras vs protoss it's all about scouting with reactor reaper for example (keep 2 reaper alive), counter the protoss all in or macro. My question is about TvT: Short: How to react with 1 rax reaper vs 2 rax reaper? I'm doing a reaper opening just to scout, into 1-1-1 expand (build from ai.revenge). What do I do If notice my foe having 2 proxy rax with my scv-scout? (no rax in his base, but gas). 1 rax reaper loses I heard and experienced (except when I was flash...). What do I do? Thanks
Just play defensively with the first reaper and pull SCVs as necessary. From there, it's all about delaying until you have a hellion or two.

Is there any known setup to customize the Star Craft 2 hotkeys in WoL to be more similar to the Brood War hotkeys? I know the unit/building names but since I don't play WoL very often whenever I do play I am easily destroyed because I can't get used to the way hotkeys are setup in SC2.

You can fully customize every hotkey in the game, so change what you need to do to mirror that of BW

Ok, I was just wondering if there was a known setup that would be easy to change to. Thanks

I think one of the presets was similar so brood war players could transition more easily

Does exist a mineral-income difference between 3 Base each with 16 workers and 4 Base each with 12 workers (on 8 mineral-patches) ? Both have 48 mineralworkers.

Income will be the same, however the 4 base will sustain the income for longer.

The classic preset looks very similar to brood war, try that one out.

will do. First I apparently have to get a new computer since they updated SC2 since I last played making it so I need a newer OS that my computer isn't new enough for. >_<

Check out this thread, they know exactly how to help you with that

Hi all :D
Question: From mid level on, in TvP, why won't the terran players wall their ramp ? i suppose that they do not have that much to hide but still, keeping the protoss in the dark about knowing if it's a 3 rax/poke or a 1/1/1 should be interesting ? and when the terran walls in, it ensures that any scouting probe might get the gas timings but won't go out.
I've heard about the possibility of an early poke with zealot/stalker/mocore that could kill a depot built on the ramp, with impunity, but i find it not that great economically, especially when you already have a reaper in your base.
In lower leagues where every terran walls in vs protoss, what can be done to punish what seems to be a mistake ( at least, when watching pro streams) ?

In this matchup, Protoss tends to only probe scout after gateway on 13 to identify the gas timing (which gets there just before a normally timed wall is up). In all honesty, though, Protoss can defend all pressure blindly with a MSC expand with the proper considerations.
The sniping of the reactor/techlab on the initial barracks + the threat of losing the wall is really annoying for the Terran player. In addition, the added bulk of the rax blocking the ramp creates problems with blink all-ins. I don't think either is necessarily better or worse, but I definitely prefer to NOT wall with the barracks (instead, fill it up with depots later), as I just hate losing my buildings.

Thx for your answer ! so the reason is because blink all in makes it harder to move through the ramp, but more impotantly because protoss tend to not even (need to) scout.
For me, i like to 13 scout to make sure the rax is in the terran base as i find it difficult to defend against an unscouted proxy 2 rax into bunker.
But if i see a terran walling in, should i let my zealot complete and poke with it + stalker and mocore to try to kill a depot or even better an addon ? when does that work ? (i suppose vs a gas build ? since a 3 rax build should deflect this).

There was a progame PvZ played a week or two ago, where someone went proxy 1-gate and made a forge at the nat ramp at home. On King Sejong Station. Can anyone direct me to that game?

Asked this in another thread, but thought i'd ask here as well.
Is it a bad thing to use the select army hotkey? When playing Zerg I am in the habit of adding my eggs in the applicable CG and rarely use it, but when playing T & P I find the Select army very useful for the new units that came out recently when I want to reinforce quickly (and adding them to CGs).
Why don't they (other players) use it?
