Which means, if your zealots charge in and the T starts stutter-stepping, the two armies will immediately go out of range of storm. Which is why you can never have your HTs in the back. No balance QQ or anything, just explaining why toss has HTs in front. yea i agree 100%, thats why people usually have ht walk up to t army to storm. problem is the vision for toss, where as T can just scan. | ||

Ya 3 gates, but it's still quite a significant investment in sentries, zealots and stalkers. I think it was just susposed to be a light contain, but when he saw only 1 bunker (which was the big mistake by the terran), he knew he could do damage. edit - maybe it was only 5 gates, I'm not sure. Looked like 3 to me however. | ||

Yeah added more but that's just cause he saw Byun forgot to make units/bunkers Ya 3 gates, but it's still quite a significant investment in sentries, zealots and stalkers. I think it was just susposed to be a light contain, but when he saw only 1 bunker (which was the big mistake by the terran), he knew he could do damage. Yup certainly. That's always how it is though. You go poke them, check out what they have, then usually back off. If they have nothing you kill them and it's embarassing because it's light pressure :p | ||

If terran had underestimated the zerg's army size for just a little, zerg will roll it over. If zerg underestimated the amount of tanks and marines there is, all their units will just get melted. (assuming same micro etc) All these feel a bit too dice rolling to me Im not sure how much estimating actually happens since terran can and does scan and zerg can fly around and get a rough estimate. | ||

The only huge (and very scary difference) is that the up/down matches are a lot harder now and that to go to code s you basically can only lose one game. So its unforgiving for the guy that goes to the up/down matches. | ||

Matters more about positioning and micro tbh. | ||
