If any mods or liquid members see this ask him this question. Why did you leave GSL without playing a single game? Your reasoning was NASL, but that is just starting up. You could've played in your GSL matches and still have time to make it back to the U.S. If there was a schedule conflict, you could've just cheese your 2 matches, or forfeit then, and still gotten some money from the GSL pool. so why did you leave so early? | ||

Yeah I was curious about this also. On February 22 2011 16:13 Essentia wrote: What does it mean when people say that pros "cut corners to get ahead?" A good example is not getting detection quickly in lets say a PvP (since terran can kinda scan) when you don't know exactly what your opponent is doing. Other things is maybe building a bit less army units in favor of pumping out more harvesters for economy (especially as zerg, although with zerg it's a little more standard, and a bit less risky) | ||

What are those highlighted hexagons you see on some maps? http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Hot_Bid/GSL2011Mar/Ro32_Huk_curiousarmy.jpg Like right there. Is it just pretty or does it actually influence game play? | ||

Stopping protoss walling off the ramp and then 6 pooling would be GG on a lot of close positions. I'm pretty sure the OL wouldn't get there in time to help a 6 pool even on Steppes, although I could be very wrong. | ||

I came up with this: fungal growths should do "backwards" damage vs P units, meaning, they should deplete hull damage first, down to 1 hitpoint, and then start hurting the shields. Thoughts? | ||

I came up with this: fungal growths should do "backwards" damage vs P units, meaning, they should deplete hull damage first, down to 1 hitpoint, and then start hurting the shields. Thoughts? For the most part, fungal is there to stop the enemy from moving around, not really because it deals damage. I think the damage is just a bonus. I don't really think it needs improvement that badly. There's a couple situations in which fungal is useful in ZvP already; - You're getting harassed by phoenixes. You can hit them with a fungal and kill them off with hydras/mutas - You're facing blink stalkers. They can be stopped using fungal. - Harassment. Two fungals kill probes. While this isn't any more useful than in ZvT or ZvZ, it's still another way to use it. Unfortunately, blizzard seems to want to leave the unused units alone, unless they feel that the matchup is unbalanced, so I don't see anything happening in the immediate future with infestors. It's not like we need to have a more useful fungal to beat protoss, right? | ||

So far, I haven't lost to any terran that didn't pull out the all-in. Besides these ridiculous SCV all ins, what else should I be wary of? The double forge I'm talking about is a 3gate robo expand into double forge. I was doing this in beta many many ages ago, more or less if they dont match upgrades you'll be able to beat most any army due to yours being vastly superior(alot of terrans wont match them either..) Otherwise it'll slow your tech down so you should be wary of any kind of all in | ||

It's not like we need to have a more useful fungal to beat protoss, right? Fungal is an awesome spell that IMO deals damage amazingly for it's cost, especially when used on marines/workers. As for catching air units with it, however, it is REALLY HARD. the radius of fungal isn't overly large and unfortunately phoenix's move really damn fast. 9/10 times i can only hit two out of 4 harassing phoenixes. I feel like a better improvement on fungal wouldn't be increasing damage, radius, CD, energy or anything important to balance, but rather improve the casting "mechanic" so that its easier to see which units are being caught under the umbrella (specifically air units). | ||

Because he plans going back to the US before the end of the Tournament. If IdrA had played his games in the tournament and won. That would mean when he did leave, it would suddenly create a void where other players who had lost to him would feel ripped off. Basically he did the right thing by the tournament by not playing in a tournament that he cannot commit fully to. | ||

when I have a ghost out with full energy and I press R for sniper round, then hold shift and click on targets, it will not sniper round them. This means I have to target my ghost, press r, click target, repeat. That's a pretty painful thing to do and it's easy to fail if you're trying to do it fast. What can I do? | ||

I've been playing around with them but i cant seem to find any actual good usage other than late game tanks. Thoughts? Generally Ghosts are preferred. But Thors have a 250mm ability that can stun immortals and colossus. Very useful. | ||
