My understanding is that three workers per mineral patch and geyser is optimal. So, for the majority of bases, 30 workers is complete saturation.

You're right about two workers being hidden as they'll be "inside" the geyser, so when you have four workers on the first row of the second tab after box selecting a resource area is what you're looking for (each tab is three rows of eight slots (24), then four on the first row of the second tab plus the two "hidden" in each geyser).

I'm about a ~1k diamond zerg versing a lot of 1.3~1.6k players.

I'm having a lot of trouble holding off the first push against Terran.
I usually go 14 hatch 14 pool, and try and go muta ling. However, it feels like before I tech up, I NEED banelings and roaches because the first tank/marine push eats up lings. Even with banelings and roaches, the tanks just eat them up and marines just stim and kite. Usually I feel I'm not getting enough units out, and if I miss a larva inject, I will never get enough drones or units. I've been stuck at this level for about 1 month and at 80apm for about 1 month too (started out in bronze with 20apm, 10% win/lose ratio).
Should I just keep massing more games to improve? I'm lost

As a Terran, I have some difficulties rallying my buildings to my moving army. If the rallied-to-unit dies, my units end up staying home. That's a problem. Also, whenever I rally a starport to my army, and a medivac comes out, it ends up picking up troops. But I don't want that.

Any simple soluitions?

Rally to a position on the map not far behind your push. If you rally them all to a unit, the units that come out will stay on a move command and not engage unless you box-select and tell them to. For example, you 1a into a base and have half of your non-hotkeyed-and-just-arrived units on follow so they don't participate. That sounds bad :/

Kind of a random question.. If you have to leave for work in 45 minutes, would you consider that enough time to do a ladder game? What's the closest you've cut? oO I find myself now, with about an hour and 15 minutes 'til work not wanting to play even though I know 99% of the time, it would never be longer than that.

I don't queue for any ladder matches when I've got an hour or less until class. I'll usually just queue for an FFA in this situation since I can just leave and have it not affect me.

Hey guys I live in the dallas area and am hoping to attend the last few hours of MLG starcraft 2 finals, do I have to pre-purchase a spectator pass or can I pay at the door?

I remember reading you could do either. Don't quote me on it, though.

Who cares if you have to leave? If all the stars in the universe align such that your game would last longer than 1h 15m, what's stopping you from just quitting and going to work? Do you really care that much about your ladder rating?

How many matches do people roughly play per day? And how many do you feel like you need to play to stay practised? I feel guilty if I play less than 10 or so, as if I'll log on the next day and not know how to play anymore lol

It depends on the map but building some spinecrawlers help alot imo. There are some maps were this do not work out as good, but mabye if you only go baneling ling insteed of baneling roach ling. While the marines need to kite the banelings,run around with lings and do a surround that stops them.
I am around 1k zerg btw.

I feel best on shape when i do more than 10 games a day, aswell.

As the first game of the day i mostly do a funmap or a FFA to warm up and get back into "the zone" =)

If i dont play for 3-4 days and start playing again, i feel the first games somewhat sluggish and not prepared.

There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.

I agree with this completely. I can usually play 2 or 3 ladder games in an hour (roughly 20 minutes each) but if one goes over and I might be late for work - then its time to pack it up and "gg"

Its only a game, it will be there when you get back home


On another note, wondering why this thread is not sticky'd to the top of the forum? Had to scroll through a few pages to find it!

I'm a Toss and I haven't played a Terran for a long time - I just checked my record and in my last 20 games I played 15 Zergs and 5 Protoss. Is that strange? :o

Since you only have 7 posts, i'll give you some help.

Post on topic, this is an sc2 general discussion thread. We have a specific black ops thread. TL generally keeps nonsc2 games all in each their own subject. This helps tidy up the forums.

Read the general forum guidelines, unlike many forum guidelines, the mods enforce their rules pretty well. Posting in all caps isn't really a crime, don't get into that habit. Nor is this a place for spam or memes(without reason).

I am not trying to sound elitist, just trying to help you avoid future trouble/bans. Check out the general ban list for specifics of what mods hand temp bans out for.

Can I just chip in that I am fucking impressed with the way TL technically runs it's forums? The load on the GSL3 day2 thread must have been off the scales, but the forum never slowed down for me AT ALL. Nice.
