Cant wait for the idra interview  | ||

Do you have any advice on how to time when a zerg player should tech hard for hive/ultras? My strategy was to rely on "feel," which doesn't always work. Thanks! | ||

@ Artosis: I noticed you sometimes do 9 Overlord and sometimes 10 Overlord + Extractor Trick. Can you explain why, and when you use what? | ||

I only mention it because i've seen you saying ZvZ is boring baneling ling shit, but this is clearly a credible alternative. Check it out yo. yes, i am very aware of this build. i've been practicing vs it in customs. jury is still out on it. also, its only usable on some maps. baneling garbage can be done everywhere. | ||

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? no, i love to play all day long. SC2 is becoming more and more like SC1 at the top level. | ||

The only trouble I have is that really awkward timing when you are teching to hive/building ultra cave/making ultras. If they show up with colossi a little too early, I rarely can defend myself long enough to pop out the ultras. Do you have any advice on how to time when a zerg player should tech hard for hive/ultras? My strategy was to rely on "feel," which doesn't always work. Thanks! im still using feel, i need more games to get it exact. | ||

They always had the bonus armor upgrade. They just get autospeed now. And it seems like they are worth getting. At least every ZvP i watched from the pack included going for them. | ||

Ultras might be good vs Protoss in certain situations. Certainly not vs Zerg, and never vs a Terran who has Marauders (maybe never vs a Terran, but I'm not sure yet on that one.) | ||

At least every ZvP i watched from the pack included going for them. I'm still not completely sure that was the best move I could have made, though. I like them, they are fun, and I'm experimenting with them. I still need a lot more games to see how good they actually are. | ||

I wonder what your opinion on Queens is. Do you get one for every hatch or do you have a fixed number? It may depend on what the enemy throws at you (countering early banshee/voidray/muta) but I'm asking myself if the 4th 150mins and 2 supply are a good investment midgame... | ||

I have few more if you don't mind. 1. Will you be doing any instructional commentaries, like you used to do in sc1, hopefully something before the phase2 <3  .2. You have extensive knowledge of how sc1 pro-gamers train. So with your experience and knowledge what are the some of the things you think the Koreans are doing right, and some of the things they are doing wrong. For example after seeing Idra perform so well in the OSL qualifier, and Gregs comment about excessive training schedule and its negative effects, 3. I was wondering what is then perhaps the best way to train and improve to get good results.How do you personally train/improve? What are things you like to do. Forexample I know some people like divide their time between different things. They will ladder for an hour, play few custom games, watch their own replays, watch replays of pro-gamers, watch some stream. (Rinse and repeat these day-in and day-out) 4. Do you watch your own replays? If so: A. Do you do it directly after the game (so you can take notes), Or is their certain part of the day, Or you just watch them randomly? B. Do you analyze both winning and defeated games? Or just the ones where you lost? 5. What are your thoughts on the current ladder map pool? and Which of them do you think are Zerg favored, neutral, and truly not winnable as zerg. 6. Have you played on SC1 conversion maps on SC2 yet? Do you think SC1 style of maps will work well on SC2, (ie, Destination, fighting spirit, extra)? | ||

But is it possible to do the interviews in quieter environments. Because most of the times you are in some café or restaurant with background music, people entering and exiting, talking, so heavy background noise that can really be annoying and take away some of the enjoyment of listening to your interviews ! | ||
