I wanted to ask a simple yet probably irritating question here that is asked very very commonly around the forum but still unclear.

The question is whether or not StarCraft 2 imbalanced or not.

Why is it confusing? Because loads of loads of players are joining in to a group that says the game is not balanced (especially ZvT) and on the opposite side in this forum loads of loads of players state the exact opposite. With Dimaga considering to move to Terran it is even more confusing.

Now the real questions are:
What is the official statement of Blizzard? Is starcraft 2 balanced or not?
What is the official statement of TeamLiquid?

Obviously these questions are related for the situation up to this point - Aug 18 2010.

The situation is unclear to me - especially when using the search option on the forum - it gets so many threads that reading all of them will take ages.

Thank you for any answer (:

I just burped an idea and thought this was the place to post it for people to tear it apart!

Chew on this: give the infestor a ranged area spell which would let it create a large patch of creep almost instantly, from a distance.

Imagine an infestor spewing the creep on a terran ball right before the attack.. Since creep is a large bonus for zerg ground units, the T should try to move away, somewhat like dark swarm. The creep would slowly dissipate after the battle if there are no creep tumors around, so it wouldn't be very useful for creating long-term creep pathways, only for intense micro moments!

I think this fits nicely with the feel of the unit and of the zerg in general and it would bring some very welcome "oooh" and "aaah" moments in the game. Comment!

I think it probably overlaps the the overlord's spit creep too much. How big are you thinking, the reason creep helps is it improves speed of your units. If you are using it on the enemy army, then your units are already there and don't need it. I can see it being useful for some spine crawler pushes or if it was large enough to try and get into position. I would rpefer something like this ont he overseer though. He could fly up lay down a path and then scoot. Might be too powerful, depending on the size, energy costs. You could deny an expansion for quite a while.

I think Zerg MBS should be fixed for balance. Right now if you select 2 hatcheries or 2 evo chambers it does not properly divide the upgrades or the queen production between the two.

Q: Is there a way to search the ladders for a given division? I am platinum and would like to view the Diamond players in my division but the only thing I can seem to do is see the other Platinum players in my division by clicking on my avatar in the battle net forums.

al answers on this as it is more of an opinion question.

My question is, I keep seeing things like "Liquid Fighting" or "Liquid Hwaiting". I assume they are both referencing the same thing and related to something korean from broodwar . Would someone mind explaining how it originated and what it means? Thanks.

SCV on attack-move.

When defending your base it is sometimes necessary to use both SCVs and military units to defend. Normally I just select my marines/marauders/SCVs and attack move.

However sometimes they SCV just stop attacking for no reason. Is there any trick to this I do not understand? Do you have to manually target SCVs on each zergling?

Hwaiting = Fighting in Korean and part of their culture it's used to cheer on celebrities, especially those "fighting" in Broodwar or Sudden Attack or other games. By saying 'Liquid Fighting' or 'Liquid Hwaiting' you are just showing your support for the Liquid Clan like saying 'Go Liquid!'.
