I have never questioned the intent to bring people to develop strats for early/earlier expansions (at least I didn't mean to); I am just curious why day9 seems to dislike units like the immortal or the void ray so much; + Show Spoiler + yesterday I won against a pretty good terran by building two void rays, flying them directly to his base while fending the attack of from two gates + probes while using FF on my ramp to my advantage; the two void rays killed COUNTLESS scvs and allowed me to safely expand and macroing up from 4 gates while teching to templar; nowhere near all-in, the void rays are supposed to buy me time to expand at a point in the game where terran is at its strongest I don't wanna be misunderstood on this point, because otherwise ppl will think I'm an idiot; clearly there's nothing wrong with trying new BOs that lead to a stronger economic play; I just don't understand why it has to be either economic-style with mass-gateway-units or one-basing with tech | ||

I will have to secure my seat to the floor and put straps around my ankles and wrists to brace for epic. This will probably make people think I'm electrocuting myself but it'll be worth it. | ||

It mostly just features a Baneling Bust, which is an all-in-ish move by the Zerg. The double drone harass in the beginning seems to me to not be worth it, I'd much rather have the extra drone at my base mining. | ||

W basically is a built in hotkey for all your warpgates. My guess is that it's a habit from broodwar, used to spamming 1/2/3/4/5 but not W. Don't be put off because day9 doesn't use it, I think W is almost certainly better, frees up an easy to reach hotkey. | ||

I am sure so many fans would love to donate a small amount to thanks for the countless hours of Dailies and other good stuff. 1000 fans, 5 bucks each. Should help. That's what I'm thinking.
