I wonder if HotS will be integrated with WoL so you don't have to log out, it doesn't seem like it would be too complicated for them to link them for those who buy the expansions. Anyone here anything about that topic? Couldn't find an answer anywhere so far. I can't wait to play the beta, last beta was so fun good times up and coming for us all! :D

Pretty sure you'll have to log out if you want to switch between the two. I cannot recall playing a game where you didn't have to.

Hey there.

A few days ago I played a game against the feared player 2, aiming to see if I can still play as well as I used to, as I have had a break from Starcraft 2. As I play Protoss, I thought it'd be really clever to first quickly select my Nexus before sending my probes to mine. I started my first probe milliseconds into the game and sent my probes to mine by double clicking them within the first 2 seconds of the game. Now, when it came to the build order times, I found that the build time for my first probe was 51:26. Another example of this was in another game where I managed to get 55.28. I eventually got online and still it displayed an odd time. Is this a bug, or is it really showing the time of the probe in milliseconds?

Many thanks.

Ok guys, i faced crazy zerg strategy today. And i'm talking craaaaazy strategy here, the guy was literaly out of his mind and he won.

So, it's PvZ on shakuras i open with 3 gate expand and keep him in his natural behind spinecrawlers, while i take my third and tech to dt. He breaks out with like 40 banelings so i back away and send dt's to delay his third. He gets morphs overseer and double expands and we are 4 bases vs 4 bases soon... but! First he sends 100 lings and kills my 3rd before i can get there. I kill all the lings, get 200/200 and move out with nice upgrades, but i face another horde of units, full energy infestors spit 92389 infested marines at once, i got flanked by ultras, fungaled, sorrounded by lings and splashed by banelings. I kill most of his army and run away with only few stalkers i have left but he's a zerg so he remaxes with 12 ultras and thousand of zerglings and spreads them to all my bases killing all nexuses at once in few zeconds before i can get units out... i was like... ultras and speedlings run so fast you simply can't do shit about it lol ^^

Have the search function changed here on TL? The past couple of days I seem to get different results than usually (I often search pretty generic things). Threads that have come up first before is hidden several pages away (if I can find them at all).

Well, IdrA was Terran in BW, so that's what pops up still.

So the TL feed says Naniwa won 2-0 against Slush, now MLG brackets say Slush won 2-1
Who's right?
I remember last night the MLG site saying Naniwa won but what the hell is going on?

Thors don't do splash damage to fround units.
What I want to ask, is it illegal in competitions/frowned upon to use outside programs to change hotkeys in scII without breaking the "1 key 1 action" rule? In game hotkey changes dont allow some combinations (spacebar + anything, alt + tab) that I'd like to use, but I want to know if in general it's allowed before I start using it. ^_^

Major just murdered Axslav in his sleep. That was absolutely brutal.

Yea Major did a great job, I gotta say after hearing him say "I have no fans,everyone hates me" I feel more for the guy than I did before. I didn't like him after that whole ROOT incident knowing his past but seeing that he realizes people are still ashamed of what he did I think I'm more on his side of things now, just wish he had handled it differently. Back to that game though his drops are so good I wonder if he was macroing at all in between each of those drops, I couldn't imagine someone being able to do all that and still make stuff back home, either way I'm very impressed.

Hey guys. Ok, I have been playing Starcraft for about 2.5 weeks now, and I've been in top 8 bronze for about 2 weeks. Now I am rank 1 in bronze, with 20+ wins no losses, but I still dont rank up.

Link to my statistics :

Any suggestions?

Just keep on winning, it's all you can really do :D

The system is probably just trying to work out where to place you

Malks : Okay thx, I've been winning all night now, and out of 28 matches I have 27 wins :p That is 27 in a row. Uhm, I wonder tho', I am only meeting mid bronze or low bronze, I have rarely seen top 8 bronze players, and NEVER anything over bronze at all.. I'm finding this abit odd, when people tell me that winning over players in higher divisions than yourself, helps blizzard to make a desicion where they should put you :s thanks for answer anyways

I guess if you aren't getting placed against higher leaguers, your MMR isn't going up as high as it should potentially should. A 27 win streak and rank 1 bronze should be enough to rank you up soon, but you do need to face players from higher leagues so the system knows where to place you. Low silver is probably worse skill-wise than high bronze, so I'm sure if you just keep playing, the system will sort you out eventually, just enjoy your wins and practise your weaknesses so when you do get promoted, you're not at a disadvantage. Just don't throw your games or intentionally lose, as it won't help you rank up any faster, there's not much else you can really do =x

Hi,

This is my first time on here. I wanted to post about my stream since it this is the general discussion. I read your rules about getting a stream listed and it said I had to be a member for 3 months, which is completely fine. However my stream is Bronze laddering, because I'm just not that good yet. I want to post my stream link here because I was worried in 3 months I wouldn't be in bronze anymore, and it feels like there is a need for it, but maybe not. You tell me. So although it probably won't get listed as a stream i figured i could get it out there through this thread.

I'm still learning how to build a nice stream, there isn't commentary yet because I'm trying to learn how to get the sound quality nice with the background music.

The stream is located here: http://www.justin.tv/mistercatzby

I also created this highlight, demonstrating the value of EMP in a real ladder game, partly was because I was excited it was the first time i used it successfully.
http://www.justin.tv/mistercatzby/b/287375718

You may want to mute the sound, it's pretty attrocious. I should be streaming a lot more frequently now that i switch from dyyno to XSplit. My games were always really laggy when i used dyyno.

Just hoping to do two things with this stream, help other bronze players and get feedback when i'm not thinking clearly or using units that would be helpful.

EDIT: I just got promoted to silver, so now it's a silver stream.

Thoughts on Top Tier Players per race. Agree/Disagree/Whatever.... Ranked in order.

Terran (6):
MVP
MKP
Bomber
MMA
sC
Nada

Protoss (2):
MC
Alicia

Zerg (4):
Nestea
July
DongRaeGu
LosirA

There are different amounts of players per race based on my opinion of the amount of top tier players per race.
