I haven't heard anyone else mention this, so I'm starting to think I'm a little crazy but... has anyone else noticed that the roach upgrade icons seem to be backwards?

I remember they got swapped in beta and I thought it was a bug, but they have yet to change it back. The speed upgrade is of a giant CLAW, and the tunneling CLAW upgrade is a leg with speed lines behind it.

Not a huge issue, but it bugs me.

dont think this deserves its own topic so asking here. Im a P player and PvP is the bain of my existence but I have been watching some reps to learn from the pro's. One thing I've noticed is that a lot pro's in PvP 9 scout as oppposed to 13 after gateway just wondering what you can see or what exactly should I be looking for on a scout after pylon as opposed to after gw. I know what to look for to see a 4 wp rush coming but seems like u can almost always get a 13 in to see chrono saved up/gas before the first stalker comes out and if they do go zealot first its pretty easy to outrun it.


You're looking for whether he's 2 gating you (skipping the core and gas), or cannon rushing. If you leave it till a 13 scout these builds are much harder to defend. You can also divert the 9-scout around your nat a little on it's way out to check for proxy gates, OR you can get to a Xel'Naga tower first (on 4 player maps) to try and spot his starting location the easy way.

Basically it's just an anti-cheese measure, any "normal" build will be fine with 13-scout as you can scout until the stalker comes out, as you say.

I just had a quick question about skill in general for SC2, wasn't sure if this was good enough to be a thread (I'm also new so I can't make one).

Do you think that skill in SC2, or RTS games in general, is something that is inherent. Or is it something that we need to work on and build up?

I'm a bronze player, and sometimes I just feel as though I'll never be very good at this game. I enjoy playing it very much, but it seems to me like there are a lot of other people who have a much easier time improving.

I'm not really looking for tips on how to get better, I'm just curious what others think about this. Is RTS just a game genre that takes a certain inherent skill? I can't even imagine that some of the pros out there started off at the same level I'm at right now.

I think With Starcraft 2, broodwar and other similar RTS games, Its a lot more likely that being good at the game comes from Intellectual ability's such as Observation and reaction times which will improve your game, Also goof knowledge on the game itself, Such as builds and counters for all factions in the game will Help you to advance into a higher league, The thought of being skilled at an RTS due to Inherited knowledge is pretty silly. But im open to different opinions.

okay, so:
In GSTL, there are team accounts which everyone in the team plays on.
It doesnt matter which player is playing, players are only named oGs or Slayers or TSL or whatever.
And I think the player who won the previous round enters the booth before the player of the other team is chosen, so what I wonder is whether if the player who won the previous round know who he is actually playing against?

There are viewers from other sites I guess? For example, most of BratOK's stream viewers are from goodgame.ru (BratOK's stream always has 2k-5k viewers too)

You will be able to play but only on very low settings with low resolution. It wont run the game that well tbh.

Ok, here's my question:

What is the correct way to use roaches with tunneling claws against terran?

Or better - how should i spread the roaches under his army and what are the priority targets (let's say the army is marines/sieged tanks/a few thors) after i unburrow them?

It is so frustrating, because most terrans are not prepared for it and still i somehow lose a ~ 50 supply advantage.


Attacking bunkers and sieged tanks with roaches is EXTREMELY bad idea. Use burrow to catch him off-guard when he is unsieged or at least attack him when he is moving out and has no bunkers. Also consider attacking both mineral lines simultaneously.

Just wanted to throw an idea out there: For StarCraft 3 or RTS games in general, do you think it would be a good idea or a bad idea to have a "strafe-move" command? I see all the time pros having to memorize exact firing rate timings and micro things like marines running from zealots. If you had a move that was in between attack move and regular move, maybe it would make the game more fun for more people. The command would basically tell a unit, "move when you can't attack" (i.e. on cooldown or don't have a target). It does make it a little more intellectual rather than dexterity based... but is that bad? I would use it for things where I want my army to focus a little more on staying alive than doing damage- e.g. if I'm transferring troops to protect an expansion, or sending my reinforcements to join my main army, or just harassing.

I was just wondering...

Has anyone done a SC2 Power Ranking?

It would be nice to get an idea of who people think is in the top 10.

I think we call agree that right now oGs.MC is #1 but who is 2-10?

Cloud won oGs.MC

u cant tell whos on top etc, cuz people sometimes make mistakes, they are not robots, even if they korean.
I think you only can tell who are TOp players, but ranking them is kind of random.
Even goody won that korean zerg, called the best zerg in the world... T_T

i don't think you can do power ranking for sc2 yet because there is no standard for int'l players. How do you compare the koreans to foreigners when the only time they have played head-to-head (when it's not 3-4 foreigners vs 30+ koreans) is in the tsl where the koreans are clearly playing with insanely high pings? I think only when there are a lot of lans with diverse int'l showings can you really do a power ranking. Because right now you would have a list of koreans and foreigners randomly inserted without really knowing where exactly they stack up.
