Is it 2 per or 3 per second after 10 seconds out of combat? Another question is the 5-6 gate 2 base timing push what is the optimal time you should be pushing out? This is a best case scenario of course meaning not being harrassed. Just want to get a idea of the timing. | ||

is there really anyway to play out ZvT without maintaining a high muta count? terran can just be all over the map while setting up a third and macroing a huge army and it's such a struggle just to defend | ||

What if they could hallucinate observers, making it so protoss are not FORCED into fast robo on the off chance that someone goes DT or banshee? What if hallucinated probes (you get 4) could mine? | ||

This is a best case scenario of course meaning not being harrassed. Just want to get a idea of the timing. 1) 3 seconds in game time, about 2 seconds regular time. 2) It's really dependant on what strategy you're facing, there is no real answer. Ideally before a critical mass of a counter to your units, which I'm sure you know... You must scout well and see a time when & where they are vulnerable. is zvp lategame possible anymore? they just mass a huge ball of blink stalker, colossi, ht, rest [mineral dump on zeolot and atk and win. btw 2200 diamond z here Hmm I find that rather interesting. If you really are 2200 diamond zerg, the main thing I would focus on is getting your 3rd and 4th pretty early. It can be very challenging dealing with collosis + stalker since you can't kill the collosi with the corruptors for your life against good control. It depends alot what builds you do too. Roach hydra off very early 3 base can deal with the ground army + collosis very well before they get a critical mass of them; also punish them if they move out even one bit(never engage in chokes obviously). If you go 2 base muta ling you need to be very agressive and never passive with your mutas... You really need to stay ahead on economy or you'll lose, there is always room to improve when to drone and when to not. And possibly the most important thing I see that makes zergs lose is they overreact to my early game harassment. Hope that helps a bit. I have a question myself. What build do you guys do on Steppes of War and Blistering Sands in PvT. A very well microed 3 rax bioball right as stim + cshells hit is very powerful, and I am just unable to beat it with a 3 gate robo expand or 2 gate robo expand. I feel like the only thing I can do is go fast 3 gate robo collosis or I'll die to that push. | ||

Please helppppp... Play on megaton against 4 non-Zerg computer players. Build your first pylon in between all 4 of their bases, and proceed to cannon them from there. You can look on youtube if you trouble placing that first pylon down, but I don't remember it being particularly difficult. | ||

I basically end up on 2 or 3 bases, whilst my opponent is usually on 2 bases with mainly mutalisks and zerglings. Then the group of muta's come in and do hit and runs on my mineral line, whilst my stalker heavy army with a few sentries stalkers and collosi runs from base to base, trying to stop them but in the end my income is severely crippled with only a few muta's killed, and then my opponent gets ahead and finishes me off. If I try to attack, we both lose most of our armies but again my income is already crippled so he rebuilds faster than I can and also finishes me off. I don't really want to hear "macro better/build more" as an answer. Firstly I know this would work but I'm already trying and slowly improving my macro skill, I won't get any better if someone just tells me to build more probes, and before the mutalisks come in my income/probe count is usually slightly higher whilst my army is just as big, if not slightly bigger than his so I am generally out-macroing my opponent | ||

A: Basically, anything you want to talk about but aren't sure if it warrants a topic of its own. Heard a rumour you want to share? A new video? A question you are sure is super common but can't find the answer to via searching? A brilliant new idea that you want to vet, to make sure it's really as brilliant as you think it is? This is the place. Note: Posting standards will not be as high as if you were to make a new thread, but pointless spam will still not be tolerated. I have seen threads like these work out alright on other sites (for other games) so I figured, why not give it a shot? It's possible there's not really enough content for something like this to exist at this point in time, but no harm then, it will just die on its own. Hello Liquidhorseface! I just wanted you know that we here in sweden are supporting your mission to take over the south korean esports scen then slowly taking over the whole country with your awesome terran play. And we wish that you would change your nick to horseface since you look like a horse in your face and a horse is the logo of team liquid! Your biggest fans Elhonko and Geggamojja :D | ||

Anyway, I'm a ~400-500 point bronze league protoss player, Im doing OK and have a win rate of about 60%. I almost always beat my terran opponents, usually can beat other protosses, but really struggle against zergs, namely mutalisks (which most zerg players end up using). Can anyone tell me what I can change to help win against them I basically end up on 2 or 3 bases, whilst my opponent is usually on 2 bases with mainly mutalisks and zerglings.

I recommend defending mineral lines iwth cannons, it may not kill mutas but it will force him to be more careful with them. Also I recommend you read plexa's PvZ overview, if you haven't already. | ||

Problem is, "macro better/build more" is the correct answer to your problem. Focusing on anything else before you can macro well will just stall your improvement. Also, scout well so you're prepared for mutas and build cannons if you have to. Mutas suck against cannons so 2/mineral line should stall them for long enough for the stalkers to arrive. Or just learn some good timing pushes so he's forced to use his mutas to defend. Liquipedia is a good place to start, | ||

No, when you move up you lose a few points, thats it. Usually around 3-500 p | ||
