Anyone have an extra europe account I could use briefly to try out to test the latency? If it's playable I'll get my own eu account and join you guys.
If I had one I'd love to give you it, but sadly I've only got the one account. Hopefully someone else'll be able to help you out as it'd be cool being able to play some TvTs with you. ^^

sure i got 4 europe accounts~~

Thanks to Jockmcplop for letting me use one of his guest passes; latency seems playable so I've gotten an account. I'm LSLyra.118 on eu now~
|
Nice, I'll add you. Remember to join the mech channel :D

I hate when you ask someone better for help. You think you're doing so well and they teach you that you could be doing everything so much better.
Thanks for the help today Lyra, sorry if I was a bit stubborn at times, but hopefully with all your help you've given me I can improve quicker than I have been. ^^

what are some ways to win against a mass bio player who does drops and run by's with small marine/ruder forces as a mech player, i've been having trouble dealing with that in the early game.

Good sim city, good unit splitting and knowing where to defend helps with that. ^^
Me and Kollin are going to do some sim city diagrams/screenshots of good building placement for your base to make sure your units don't get stuck and you have enough room for turrets and stuff.

So did anyone get into the hots beta?
|
So far no. Lastshadow did, but from what I briefly saw of his stream he wasn't meching.
edit: I rescind that; he's at least meching tvz.

How did lastshadow get in and not idra? Also Avilo if you're reading this could I ask if you will still be providing your mech tvp replays for the thread.

Would you really want Idra giving his balance advice on a game? Honestly the guy is one of the most biased players around and whines about everything, even when it's perfectly fine.
|
Honestly, the same could be said for Johnny Platinum who got invited to the beta. But this isn't the place for this discussion ^^
|
Apparently I misspoke altogether; he's meching tvp at this moment.

Was that your style you play in Mech TvP now? It looked similar and if it is I think I understand what to do now since I've seen someone do it (or something similar)
|
Sorta, except ghosts are good (and necessary).

I may be able to get into it, my team got a beta key and i'll try to use it to test a bit. If i can i'll stream that

just wondering for those that play on Condemned Ridge is it okay to open reactor hellion for tvz? idk what people do on this map since zerg can expand so many times.
|
Reactor expand is a bad build imo. It has a much slower expo than 1rax cc or cc first into hellion/banshee, but has no extra harass potential. Reactor hellion banshee before cc has an even slower expo, but has much better harass potential. I consider it to be viable still (provided your control is good).

It's too simplistic, to the point of being inaccurate.
