Costs way less gas to kill Archons with Banes than it costs to make Archons. It also costs way less supply to counter the same supply of Archons. I actually worked the math out and tested it. Only problem is if any of your other ground units get trapped in with the toilet. Then it gets unreliable. | ||

Pretty standard I suppose. Sase and Stephano are pretty good foreigner reps though, hoping they have a good showing tomorrow. | ||

(SPOILER FOR ONE MATCH IN UP AND DOWN) Ace was playing boongboong and basically would attack with his deathball whereever the zerg army was not, including using multiple warp prisms to 2 or even 3 places at once, while his army was attacking other places or defending. When BoongBoong would use his main BL/Infestor/Corruptor army to go kill off the armies attacking his base, Ace would recall to where the mothership was, while continuing the annoying warp prism drops. He did this like 3 times and later ended up winning even though BoongBoong was able to make it extremely close. Since Nexus will have recall in HotS we can arguably say that is the future of dealing with BL/Infestor/Corruptor: attacking wherever that army clump is NOT located, then recalling when his army closes in. I got frustrated just watching BoongBoong try to deal with it. KiwiKaki used to do something like this too I think So, the way to beat the zerg late game army is not to fight it? Is this Wargames all over again... the only way to win is not to play? What happens when the zerg army you are trying to avoid just goes into your main and wrecks it... you're still supposed to recall your losing army right into the teeth of the winning zerg army? I'm not sure how any of the HOTS changes are going to resolve the zerg late game deathball army issues that protoss have with zerg. | ||

If he wants to be accepted and supported, he can always drop the bullshit especially if he can't even back it up. I feel the same way but i would be willing to forgo all that bs if its to help someone out, the shit were flaming him about is so retardedly insignificant if u look at it from a larger scope. Its important to us because we feel like our community and everything in it is the center of the universe but its actually quite meaningless and insignificant. If someones willing to sacrifice his life to become good at this game that pretty much means it obviously holds alot of value to him and not gaining the communitys approval might be something that weights heavily on him, you cant control how someone thinks/feels and they might end up doing something stupid to themselves.. obviously im overdramatizing this whole situation but who fucking knows man i heard that hes been pretty depressed in the past, it even went as far as someone telling me he tried to do something stupid to himself, im not sure if what he told me was actually true but its enought to have me side with him from now on, if someone ever does something stupid to himself over such meaningless things.. man i dunno wat i would do | ||

I'm not sure how any of the HOTS changes are going to resolve the zerg late game deathball army issues that protoss have with zerg. late game zerg armies in ZvP are very slow. He can't just show up in your main and wreck it without you having a good idea of what is going on, in which case you pull your army back and go for the vortex toilet win if you can. Meanwhile you have zealots wrecking his other bases and/or main, and possibly even storm drops going on as well. It does force the zerg into an immediate attack if his slow ass late game army is far away from his main/main structures, but if you hold it, the protoss SHOULD win because of all the damage that the warp prisms were doing | ||

I'm not sure how any of the HOTS changes are going to resolve the zerg late game deathball army issues that protoss have with zerg. How do you play bio against mech? How do you play zerg against mech? How do you play muta in zvz? How do you play early-midgame zvp? Not by putting your army in a ball and attacking his ball, that's for sure. Pop quiz, which is faster, broodlord or mothership? | ||
