Pros won't share secrets or how tos on how to be uber. There is simply no incentive for them.

However, there is a huge disparity between pro and high level diamond, as well as silver and high diamond. I don't think a pro forum would work, but separating the casual player who likes to make incorrect asumptions based on his lack of experience from a high diamond player who has over 1k games played at a competitive level would be a huge step in a positive direction.

I was a little disconcerted when they discussed this on SOTG. They had mention one idea was around posts counts. As a several year lurker, a recent sign up, and only occasional poster, why should my opinion be invalidated because I don't spam a response on every thread. If a post count requirement was created you will run into even more spam so individuals could meet this requirement.

I know this has been mentioned in the past but balance discussions derail more threads than anything else on here. With the PTR, and 2 more expansions on the way, these balance discussions are not going away.Simply create a balance sub-forum. Any discussion of race or unit balance should be done here only. All other forums should take the mentality of the game is 100% balanced. And any attempts to derail with balance discussion should be addressed/redirected via a mod. This would allow one specific area for balance discussion and leave everywhere else to productive and healthy discussion.

The strategy section should be an area for strategic advice. It's all about trying things out and finding what works for you. It should not be a golden singular answer. Where the strategy section and even several threads in sc2 general has turned into a joke is from the imba imba responses. I love TL and want to see it remain the top non-Korean SC resource.

Well just an opinion from a " die hard " BW fan here. Just for the record I dont play SC2 .

I thought that SC2 will suck hardcore but maybe I was little bit close minded at start. Now I watch GSL( only this for SC2 ) whenever I can . In my opinion the game aint that bad as i thought it would be but infact its really good ( not at the lvl of BW for me right now ) and got unlimited potential to be even better than BW.

The game from a spectating point of view is interesting but in a different way from BW because of the game engine and its a different game duh. I love the races especially the zerg with the new Queen and the protoss aint half bad with the warp . Terran.... well marauders are imba with stim + slow shells. I think you need only one of those abilites or do the stim more HP consuming that its right now.

The balance is preety good for a new game and the only thing thats terrible I think are the maps and Blizzard greedy way of trying to exploit the game to the max. Like selling 3 copies of the full game is not enough and needing more copies to play on and tons of other stuff that I dont have time to count right now because im going to sleep so I can watch GSL tomorow !

Hi Aquanda...

There is a huge disconnect between what a 2200 diamond player can do and a true elite/pro player. That's why certain builds work for pros and seem to have so many holes against solid (1800-2200) diamond players.

And yes, that's what teams are for its doubtful that you would find too much quality here.

I remember spending late, late nights with the aBs guys and Hurkyl on the GX server and working on the perfect timings in TvP on both sides. For all the discussion it was a lot more games. I think this is much more of how you find the progamming teams play. One person will just play extremely standard and solid and the other will keep trying different strategies to find a hole in it. (or vice versa)

Obviously with replays now you can just pause the replay and see where someone is at a certain point and then try using builds to beat the timer to get the unit combo you want when you would need it verse that build.
