Okay, now i know you're probably going to yell at me, but i guess im very slow so i probably need step by step instructions. You don't have to though, just if anyone out of the kindness of their heart wants to deal with my slowness, i'll be much obliged. Tried downloading the replays, unable to load map/crashed. So i installed the manager, and now i dont know what to do. | ||

Ive played zerg and ONLY zerg for the entire beta so i have no idea how to play anyother races but ive come to notice that zerg is so macro intensive its rediculous so im wondering how I could switch to another race or atleast try another out. Currently its impossible for me to even begin to understand another race i dont know when to attack when to expand what counters work or anything. Even if i do the bos right i never seam to win. (one problem was i was trying to transition at platinum level) How do you suggest transitioning to a ore micro intensive race? BTW ty for the replays will probably stream them you might think the other races are really more micro intensive, but i don't fully agree. spending your money is the most important thing in this game. i would just dive headfirst in and do your best. sure check out some replays for general strategies, but a macro-based approach will be best. you can learn the little micro-bits along the way. | ||

2. Can you tell us how much has Apollo improved, is he able to games away from you and tasteless? 3.Who do you think are the top3 of each race in Asia (excluding you and Idra) 4. I see some pro-gamers (Sen) use heatlhbar always on, what do you use and why? 5. Do you have any inside news regarding OSL 2? | ||

Do you have any inside news regarding OSL 2? 1) Actually, I'm interviewing him about his OSL performance today  2) Right now I'm working with Apollo on the RTS basics (of economy-based RTS games), and I think he's improving quite well (but we haven't had the beta in a while T.T!) I haven't really played vs him yet though. 3) T: Maka, Ensnare, not sure. P: Tester, AnyPro, Spunky (not 100% sure if hes still taking the game seriously though.) Z: Cool, TheWinD, SEn 4) I have the health bars off. They cover up too much stuff, make the screen too cluttered. I like to be able to just glance at my screen and fully understand what I'm seeing instantly. I wish there was a button to toggle it on and off. Right now, I sometimes use ALT if I want to know healths of anything. | ||

Pretty much forced to kill the rocks asap and just expo there, the natural on Kulas is so vulnerable. I use blink stalkers every game because of it but I'm seeing a lot of players just not expoing there anymore. If you do expo there I think maybe you need 2 spine crawlers at each of the two harassing spots very very early. With the shitty burrow time its like impossible to reposition them vs stalkers and I noticed you had a little trouble with that. Anyway, as a Protoss player, you really make Ultras look scary haha. It's amazing how fast they tear through a Stalker/Colossi army, and once you get enough of them they don't seem to die. ALSO your use of the Roach t2 upgrade looks very effective. Never realized burrowed Roaches can basically out regen a storm lol. Some good reps, thanks. | ||

I guess they removed the hotkey for it in replays, too, now it's just a button... Lame. I find that alt is pretty convenient for my hands though. Here's another (odd) question.. How do you position your hands on the keyboard? It's easy to see what sort of hotkeys you use in your replays, but do you stick with the homerow? (i.e....pinky finger =1qaz ring = 2wsx middle = 3edc and so on...) or do you have some other way you found more effective? (Do you even use an english style keyboard?! Lol) | ||

Btw, thanks a bunch for these, it's good to see some zerg replays! .18 (patch 16) replays are not going with the manager at the moment to my knowledge. All replays before that will work, but I haven't heard a solution for playing Patch 16 reps. | ||

I have more question. Do you find it difficult to mass games in SC2 as opposed to SC1? I.e. after playing 2-3 games of SC2 I feel spent and kind of frustrated as opposed to SC1 where I could play all day. Also, when I win it doesn't feel like an accomplishment as it did in SC1. Do you share similar views? | ||
