Pay attention to this that im gonna tell you, because it hasn't yet be mentioned.

When a skill is not researched for a unit, it appears at bottom right greyed, it doesn't matter if its Passive or if it needs to be activated by the player. (example: charge/stym)

So, colossus should have the thermal lance upgrade at the bottom right when they're selected, and display greyed when its not upgraded, there is no reason to not put it there. It becomes cucial as game goes long to know if u have it done or not, even at the highest levels some players may forget to research it. Also colossus are such expensive units so i think that they should deffinetly have an icon of the passive Thermal Lance upgrade at the bottom right and display greyed whenever its not upgraded, then coulored when its already reasearche, just as the other units have.

Sorry for my bad english, cheers.

only active skills are displayed so it's fine, blue flame, concussive shells, hydra's range, khaidarin crystal and so on are not displayed, so it should be not different from thermal lance

I wanted to make a thread, but i think I'll just post here. So is everyone fine with there being no real highground advantage besides sight? I love the game and think its great right now but i believe it would be even better if highround advantage were implemented. I remember many on TL were fighting for this but its seemed to have faded away now. I'm just curious as to how people feel about this, whether or not you believe this should exist on sc2 or whether u don't care for it anymore.

So I've had this bugging me for a bit. My usual build in ZvT is ling/bling/muta. But once the terran starts getting a bunch of marines and thors and maybe a couple tanks, it seems like ling/bling/muta gets directly countered. When I watch pro games though, the zerg player always seem to just stick with the same units and rely on their micro. If I don't feel as comfortable in getting into a good position for an attack, would transitioning into another unit comp be better, like maybe roach infestor? Or should I stick with ling/bling/muta?

Bronze level Protoss ;D

Which Korean Protoss players replays are worth watching?

Koreans say that NexGenius is the best protoss

friends of nexgenius probably say that. minchul is the best

Guy asked for replays to watch though. And there are like 4 Korean VoDs around featuring Minchul on and that's it.


Actually there are 4 vods on gomtv, from Mc, from yesterday alone. Not to mention he was an sc pro (Iron, SuicideToss). He is awesome. End of story. And who cares who says who is the best. This guy probably plays a ton of custom games vs teammates and other teams, and still manages to be one of the best Protoss players on the korean ladder.

When you have a Bonus Pool accumulated, you get double the ladder points for a win. Say you play against a guy with even skill and beat him. You would get the +13 from the win as well as +13 from your Bonus Pool, for a total of +26. It can run out though.

I see. Next question; where does the bonus pool points come from? I have a ton and I have no idea why.

MC is probably on the same level as Tester...both have such solid PvT/PvZ I predict he will win GSL..about time too...having some1 other than zerg win it will be cool

This explains it way better than I ever could (Day9 Daily on how to balance drone timings with army production)


Protoss Replays
Regarding the earlier poster about good protoss players to watch you may want to check out GuineaPig and HongUnPrime as well. They don't seem to be as solid as say MinChul, but both are good players with some unique plays that are worth watching since Protoss don't have as many go to players. Also now that Huk is in Korea does he count? The latest TL weekly has his replay pack vs top Koreans.

The Bonus Pool accrues at a rate of 1 point per 2 hours, whether the player or team is active or not. The Bonus Pool also begins building based on when the ladder season began. That is, if Player A was placed into a division and started with a Bonus Pool of 100, then 24 hours later Player B placed into a new division, Player B's Bonus Pool would be 112.

I'm just wondering some basic stuff about TL.net.

1; I've read that some users have minimized forums that they don't use. Would apreciate if someone explained how to do it myself.
2; I've noticed there are some sub forums that are not listed under Forum index , which is strange and makes them kinda hard to find , for example the user stream sub forums. I'm just curious why they don't have any link to them, and what other forums are also hiden?

minimizing is done on the left side bar. By each sub-forum there is a double arrow. you can click it to toggle the sections to collapse. this is saved with your profile so when you log in that section won't be visible.

An admin can speak much better as the why but here is a listing of most of the forums, but not all.

Hi, could some one please help me out with the Gom stream? Specifically, I can't understand if I need to pay for a day pass to watch, or if that's only if I want to watch high quality. I don't want to wait until the game starts then find out I misunderstood how that works. I've already downloaded GOM player, I don't know what I need to do now. Anyone familiar with the GomTV website, please help me. Thanks!

Day Pass is only to watch high quality, you can watch SQ for free.

http://www.gomtv.net/2010gslopens3/live/
hit SQ stream or SQ live test (people say this one works better but you have to download an extra thing I think) when it comes on.
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

I've been trying to change my icon race in my profile page from terran to zerg but it keeps reseting each time. After the first update it shows zerg but then then it becomes terran again. Is there a solution to this or am I missing something?
