I'm just observing from people I've seen who often forget the mothership is even a unit. | ||

Is using a Mothership and sniping Overseers viable? If you are comfortable with Disruptors control, I think they can deal pretty well with that. Lurkers need 2 shots, Roach/Hydra 1. | ||

I was wondering if there are any new (LOTV) overall guides on playing Protoss or SC2 in general. There is an extremely good , but old guide around: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-strategy/208343-how-to-improve-efficiently-at-sc2-1v1 Now, I am looking for something new for LOTV in particular for Protoss which is similar. As far as my understanding of the game goes, it is not important what kind of build order you execute or what kind of units you choose if you do not do this properly (at least unitl you get into high Diamond league): http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sc2-strategy/326528-underused-tactic-in-lower-leagues Do you think that those two threads are still valid in LOTV? I have seen a lot of discussion from players in silver to plat league asking what to do against mass this and fast that and mostly they get specific answers like: "you need to build X or Y as a counter". Wouldn't it be better to tell them 1. build probes 2. build pylon 3. spend your money 4. watch minimap 5. move your army Since, currently I believe this is still the best counter until you get into higher leagues, I would really appreciate if someone could provide a guide for doing this in a correct way in LOTV or otherwise, if this is not valid anymore in LOTV help me with better guidance? I am currently high gold league. Regards | ||

I am currently high gold league. Regards Definitely agree with the new player advice. However in some situations providing more specific advice is also good. (like anything on one base, some really weird/bad stuff (explaining why it is bad is a good way to improve understanding.)) Also you need to provide more specific feedback then just telling to macro better. You need to look at their replays and compare to pros and or some other relatively high level players and make sure to point out the drastic macro differences, make sure they understand how big their mistakes are and what those mistakes even are (like making early static D, not spending resources, forgetting workers, not expanding, supply blocks etc.) But just telling someone to macro better won't help. Concrete example and some hand holding are required to get those players a good start. Also teaching them to look at their replays so they can continue to improve their macro on their own is important. Edit: those posts looked good to me. | ||
