Is there any relevance in the fact that sometimes zergs will get shafted with hatch placement? My point being, that if a zerg is in a 12 o'clock position, the drones have to travel around the hatch and to the rally, before they finally start mining, whereas Protoss and Terrans' workers come straight out of the closest point of the CC/Nexus and start mining a LOT faster than drones would. Does this affect the zerg player in the beginning stages of the game? or is it such a minuscule difference that it doesn't even matter? | ||

(This doesn't apply to warp prism and hence increase it uses) stopping the pylon in the first place accomplishes that well enough. That's the basis to the 3 stalker opening, as i understand it. | ||

1. Give Queens spell(with cool down) to disperse Force Field. This will allow force field to be effective to some extend yet not over strong. Encourage creep spread. 2. Uproot spore crawler can crash force field. (players can decide whether to get evo chamber depending whether they scout their opponent is going for mass sentry) | ||

Yesterday i played my placement match and ended up in gold again. Played one more game and got promoted to platinum. After being promoted my bonus pool has stayed at 0(the last ~18 hours). Is this a bug or because of the promotion(The promotion gave like 70 points or so)? This makes unfortunate sense (the same thing happened to my friend, I'm barely above it I think.) It means your MMR (hidden rating) was almost exactly at the gold/plat border. Since Bnet is extra flexible due to reset (forced re-placement based off old MMR) It changed your ranking twice, when normally it would probably wait longer intervals of games before changing your visible ranking. This is in line with you not getting much bonus pool because the system is saying you are already where you are supposed to be wheras everyone getting lots of points/pool the system wants to get higher quicker. I'm also low plat borderline and im not getting all these +20 wins everyone else is but I get matched with 50% gold and 50% plat and just got promoted pre-reset so that makes sense. see http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=195273 for a completely comprehensive explanation of MMR and how the rating/promotion stuff works the guy who wrote it has spent lots of time on verifying his info. | ||
