I was originally using the control F function to search for the vods, while squinting so it would blur. Then i found the gom thing which is slow to update. I kind of missed the era of the switch from Gom to twitch, so i was unaware of these kinds of sites. Thanks again. | ||

Also, could u give me at least 3 very specific examples (especially in TvX matchups) ? Thank you very much ! BO losses are games in which one player takes a risk and the other players opens with a build that completely destroys it. You may say with confidence these games give 99% wins. Terran is bad at pulling of build order wins, because in standard play, there's no risk an opponent can reliably take which won't get punished by standard play. But, you can for example 2 rax a Protoss going Nexus First. Or 2 rax reaper vs CC First in TvT Vs Zerg, you need the zerg to go 3 hatch before pool or something silly. | ||

I even try to spam click and stuff as much I can to see if it makes a difference, but I'm still below 100... Its not rocket science. Its clicks pr minute. You're obviously not spamming enough if you can't get it to go higher. And no, apm does not have a direct correlation to how good you are. You can be good and have low apm and vice versa. | ||

Also, depending on your level, the 200 APM+ people you're beating might be concentrating more on spamming APM than actually playing the game : i've played vs such players in gold league who will spam control group 1 2 3 constantly, also during fights they're losing, because they do not micro at all. I'm a bit dumbfounded when it comes to this... Your APM will go up as long as you do not doubt what your next action should be, it's a bit like talking while driving a car : at first there's no way you could concentrate on every pedal, lever, steering wheel while checking the pedestrians and the road, so you certainly cannot get into a conversation at the same time. Later on, when all becomes automatic, you can do a lot more at once, hence increasing your APM (plus a bit spamming in the beggining to warm up). | ||

This is my first ever forum post and I was feeling a bit sceptical wether or not anyone would even come across this and go trough the hassle to answer me, but I do hope so and ANY help/info would be highly apperciated!! I really did not know if this is the right place to search answers from, but as I just registered my account here, at TeamLiquid I cannot create a topic of my own, so here we go :D! Im a 20-year old ex WoW gamer who fell in love with sc2 just a rough two months ago. Sience then, Ive played somewhat 500 or so games in gold league and Im thinking of investing a lot more time and resources to improve myself, but I have questions I have not been able to find using google so I would really apperciate any efforts to try and give me a little more detail! 1. Is sc2 going to have a huge esport scene and community in 2-4 years from now? 2. If Im facing platinium league players after 400-600 played games and beating them ~50% time in gold league, can I consider myself good enough at the game to maybe reach master league in a year or so (I take my gaming seriously, would create a plan for myself to master all the areas and play daily)? 3. I was thinking of investing few hundred bucks on a tainer just to learn the right way of doing things from the get-go, and to get the hang of all the aspects of the game so that I can begin my own progress. Is this over doing it or a good idea? 4. I currently have a horrible keyboard and razer naga gaming mouse wich was awesome for WoW, but I know that in sc2 a mechanical keyboard is a good investment. I was thinking of buying Razer backwidow keyboard and razer deathadder mouse. Are thease optimal hardware? Also should I get a mousepad that supports twitchy fast movements so that I can select and micro my units quicker? I know some of the questions might be impossible to get an answer to, but I just put them out there anyways heh :D PS. If you come across this post and know a place I should post this to get a good answer to my questions (given I wont get it here) A hint would also be great, I copied this and can just paste the post there. Thanks guys, have s good one!! | ||

Thanks guys, have s good one!! 1. Depends what you mean with huge. But yeah, unless LotV will be a complete failure, it should be fine. 2. Yes, you can reach master league in less than a year. This has not very much to do how good you are currently. Some people are diamond but never reach masterleague after thousands of games, other impromve from bronze to master in less than a year. 3. Bad idea imo, there are plenty of guides and tutorials for free. 4. no idea, but a normal keyboard and mouse should be fine unless you want to go pro | ||

I have always wondered when it comes to Nimbus LE, why don't you see pro players open blink stalkers more often? The reason I ask is because you can blink from the low ground behind the in-base natural into the natural itself using the move->blink->move queue commands. It just seems very strong. I've personally never met a single opponent that is prepared for the back base blink. Is there something I'm missing? | ||

It's empty and I think that when I tried putting .replay files there, they didn't show up in-game. So I'm wondering what it's used for. Shot in the dark but: Could it be for offline singleplayer without login? | ||
