Question about carriers: the game lists interceptor attack speed as 1, yet ive been testing it out and it turns out that each interceptor only fires once per every approximately 3 game seconds. is there something that i am missing here? because im actually quite confused by this as it really would hugely affect the DPS of the carrier if this is true
A Carrier has a DPS of roughly 26, in comparasion a Battlecruiser does 35.5 to ground and 26.7 to air and a stimmed Marine does roughly 10.5. The test was done on Terran buildings, I have accounted for their armor but not for the damage caused by the building burning.

Is there a place I can post to try and find practice partners on TL? I didn't know if it should go in General or if there was a specific topic to use. It's so hard to find people to play with >.<

Amazing! Thank you

I'm really considering buying the season ticket for GSL 3. I'm not so much into watching it live... but I have a couple of questions:
Are the videos for the 3rd season available forever or do they expire?
Can I also watch 1st and 2nd season videos after I buy the 3rd season ticket? (other than match one of each set)?
How much does it cost?
Edit: NVM, I just found this: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=170174

Large muta counts: storm/blink work rather well.
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.
Thanks, very useful and interesting article. I'm currently re-reading over it and trying to aborb as much of it as I can and incorporate it into my play

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,
Sorry, I didn't want to come across as saying I think macro isn't important or anything, believe me improving my macro and APM is by far my biggest goals at the moment when I play. Winning to most gameplays incredibly easily and then almost constantly losing to only one type of play was really bugging me though
Problem has been fixed I think, after watching other replays and my own replays, I was way to passive with my army and scouting. Usually there is huge gaping holes in their own strategy, like no detection whatsoever, and non-existant scouting is almost a given after the first drone (so I send dts to their mineral line), or a point where my army is twice there own army, in which case I send in an attack. Hopefully this will allow me to progress to silver league fairly quickly

I wonder what a 1800 diamond rating says about skill atm.
As i dont play tournaments i really dont know how to judge my skill level.
I know that points don't always say much about ones skill.
Now what do you think about it?
Due to inflation i might be pretty low?!

I would like to know what team liquid members think about people in Bnet is talking about:
"Protoss needs a buff."

Hey guys, I have a question about the battle.net ranking system, or more specifically, the match-up system.
I'm a silver league player with about a 50% win rate, but I've lately been put up against a lot of gold and even platinum players. And I'm almost always losing those matches. Is there something wrong with the battle.net system, or are they just trying to keep me on a losing streak?

no, this means that the system thinks u are so good that u are a contender for a promotion from silver to a higher league. therefore, the bn matchmaking system puts u against gold and platinum players to determine if u are indeed on their level yet. if u manage to get a record of close to 50:50 against these guys while having a distinct winning record against silver and bronze league guys, u will eventually get promoted.

any short tips in zvp for me?

What exactly does Diamond mean? Are you the top 20% of the ranked server or what?

If a medivac carrying a thor is destroyed, do you lose the thor too or does it drop and survive?

The Thor becomes a beautiful glowing big fireball.

I'm around that level myself and I feel like it's really low :D I think a good way to judge skill is to substract the total amount of bonus pool from your points, assuming you have used all bonus pool.
I meet many people who are real bad, so I don't find 1800-2000 diamond as anything special anymore. I still consider myself pretty bad, compared to people 2600-2800 diamond. Always consider the total amount of bonus pool tho!

Anybody knows a good Terran stream to watch? The only Terran I recognize on the list is KawaiiRice. Thanks.
LZgamer streaming sometimes, otherwise i really enjoy sksyen´s stream, he is quite good and enjoyable to watch
Edit wants to mention that i´ve seen Drewbie stream occasionally, so you could also watch out for that.

I didn't know where to ask this question so i thought this might be a good place. If I have SCII NA server acc and want to have a european SCII acc where do i save it at? I know I can't save it in my documents because thats where my other SCII is at so where do i save the european version?

I'm sorry to post this on here, but I am in my "trial" period, so I cannot make a new topic.
