Filter taught me macro mechanics and introduced me to a deeper level of play leading to Platinum promo.

They are very similar, in that both methods focus on paring the game down to very simple, essential concepts and gradually building forward into more advanced play. They artificially restrict your decisions so that you can focus on a) continually making *A* decision and b) try to make the correct decision within a more limited framework. | ||

I don't know, I recently started playing again (haven't really played since WoL) and I am trying this to relearn. It is pretty fun to be beating golds with only mass unupgraded marines. | ||

Anyone think that there would be enough of a player base to justify it? | ||

In other news... Team Jmove Team Jmove isn't just for users of TheCore or TheStaircase (although most of us are), anyone is welcome to join. The only requirement is that you don't act like an asshole, or put more accurately: The goal of team Jmove is to have as much fun as possible playing Sc2, without impeding on the fun of others. You might be a serious player in search of people to train 1v1s with, or an arcade only player. Maybe you just like to play team games. Maybe you just want to have that sweet Jmove Tag and logo of TheCore in game. Whatever your style is you are welcome to hang out with us and have a good time. For the time being there is a 100 member limit and we're accepting everyone interested in joining on a first come first served basis To be invited you have to be online at the same time as an officer (unfortunately thats just the way it works). So go to TheJaKaChaT group (not the chat channel but the group) when you're online and we'll invite you. If this doesn't work out, just PM me and we can set up a time. EU Server is officially up and running for Jmove, but we don't currently have any EU players, so if you want to get things started on EU, PM me and we can meet to set it up. I'll be on the lookout for officers to run things in EU if there is enough interest. Also, if you want to email me my email address is thejakatak@gmail.com. GLHF! | ||

In my first game I set my goal to gold, build a Hatch at the natural and 4 Queens and I wasn't even close to 50 Energy with 100% Creepspread around 27 min. Do I miss anything? I'm curious about this as well. I was thinking I'd set an arbitrary benchmark and constraints to beat before moving to Step 1, such as 4 queens, keep all below 50 energy and creep up a 1v1 map by 25 minutes or less? I was also thinking of trying to saturate 3 or 4 bases while doing it, though I know that creeps into (no pun intended) Step 1. Edited to add: keeping energy below 50 is pretty tough with 4 queens! I'm thinking I'll add in injects on 3 bases and building overlords and drones until I max out, to work on preventing supply blocks. Still plan to leave spending to step 1. I guess you might call this step 0.5.? Thanks again! | ||
