EPTYou'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 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  | ||

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 :/ | ||

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. | ||

I'm lost 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 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 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. | ||

Do you really care that much about your ladder rating? 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! | ||

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. | ||
