This will allow roaches to be more effective in large groups, giving the zerg more options in the mid to end game. · Fungal Growth will now prevent Blink, which will give zerg a way to stop endlessly Blinking stalkers which can be very challenging to deal with in large numbers. · The Barracks are going to require a Supply Depot, which will impact a lot of early terran reaper pushes. · The reaper speed upgrade will require the Factory, which is meant to weaken a lot of the early terran reaper attacks that dominate so many matches, especially in team games. · We're making a number of increases to the health of zerg buildings, which will make the very vulnerable zerg technology structures more resistant to raids. We don’t expect these hit point changes to have a super significant impact on the game, but the current numbers felt way too low.
In case you guys havn't seen it, they also gave the winning ratios and stated that while things are balanced on the ratios with skill, Zerg needs some buffs(I'm paraphrasing). Considering Terran vs Zerg is at 50% or slightly less across all leagues, this array of nerfs/buffs is going to give away the early game to Zerg, and the last thing you want vs Zerg is to let them drone freely. I don't know, does anyone else here think these changes together are warrented?

I just had a game on shakuras plateau that was NOT crossed positions. did anybody have that today too?
|
I was playing when they changed the map pool. Had a bunch of Oasis then LT then Shakuras vs a P. We spawned both on top.
So not today, but yes.

This seems like an appropriate place for this question:
I'm confused about the posting of the GSL prelims on the TL calendar. It says that the prelims started on Saturday the 9th. The other days listed are Sunday (10th), Tuesday (12th), and Wednesday (13th). All these are the days they're starting in Korea, in US timezones it'd be 8th through 12th.
GOMtv's English site says that it will take place Oct. 9th through 12th.
The preliminary rounds will be held from the 9th of Oct. to the 12th.
These seem inconsistent to me, although I'm not sure if GOMtv's English site is listing dates in US timezones or Korea timezones (I'd assume Korean). Did I miss something?
Not that it really matters since RO64 doesn't start until the 18th, but I'm anxious to find out who makes it through.

I've seen it upwards of 2000. If it plays zerg, it usually gets burrow, and then INTENSELY micros the positioning of its entire army to find good burrow spots for them at its ramp.

good thing theres a restriction
check the spgl thread and read it again, what kind of chat are you talking about? you gave us pretty much no info just saying that you need help logging on to chat.
we can't help you unless you give info

I see it now. The chat is an spgl thing which i just found. I thought it was like aan in game chat thing, that everyone used in the event of a tournament. But as a question for you, if you have ever particpated in a tournament before, how do you like get into it? They said chat and be logged into battle.net. But does that mean my account or the game? In game, what would I click on? I need just basic help for a tourney noob.

Hey guys, curious about getting some Zerg tips. Been playing Terran for a long time and never really thought about switching. After playing around with Zerg I find them to be very intriguing and much more fun to play. Wondering if anyone has any tips for increasing my APM so I can actually play them properly, kind of tough for me it seems.

Random thought I had..
Wouldn't it be kind of cool to be able to observe a game? You could have the options to choose what level game you want to spectate (by this I mean league). So if I am diamond and I wanna see what other diamond players are doing... just observe a game. Of course there are multiple details needed to be solved but I thought it might be kind of cool addition to Battle.net

Would be nice but there would definitely have to be a cap or something to prevent others from lagging the players. I always see some spectator chat when I watch people's casts though, I always wondered how they got in when the caster has stated that the game was on ladder.

yeah..some sort of auto-kick due to lag and max 2 observers per game or something would do the trick.

What league are you in?
Not because I want to be ass just because it does kinda matter.
First thing for good APM is using the keyboard for everything and not clicking buttons, then you need to use hotkey as much as possible and double-tap them to switch the screen around instead of scrolling. Ofc you might already know that. -_-

Have Idra and Artosis played a ZvZ? And could you link me to it/them? All I can find is one TvP...=P

Hey guys -
Did some coverage of the Comic Con SC2 tournament with an interview with TL's Huk and some cool footage of some of the TL crew cheering him on. All that is in part 1 of the video at Starcraft.org
http://starcraft.org/blogs/starcraft/888
Not trying to self promote as the show covers more amateur play than high level TL type stuff, but thought some of you would enjoy the comic con parts.
