Hi, A few friends and I were talking the other day about Protoss and unit upgrades and we came to the conclusion that we had Rarely if ever seen them using the air upgrades. When we started thinking about this we came to what we thought was an interesting Idea. Make Colossus upgrades air upgrades, we thought that since the Colossus are so large that the game(AA in particular) treats them like Air units ex. turrets target them and that they are so large that they shoot down.
This would actually be an interesting concept, the Protoss don't have to build any additional structures to get them and also it means that if they want the Colossus to stack up properly against AA units they have to be actively thinking about it. Also it means if the Protoss want their Colossus to be very deadly they actually have to put some money into it and upgrade both the air and the ground like the other 2 races do.
Also we thought this may encourage the Protoss to do some more air based strategies which would then open options for more builds to become effective.
If anyone has any Thoughts or comments I would love to hear them Thanks for reading.

Hello,
this is my first post on TL! Just wanted to say hi, thank you for admitting my sign-up and I'll be looking forward to participating in any discussions concerning SC2!
Furthermore, I will soon talk about my plans on creating a platform for us "Not-Pros" to be streamed and helped! My aim is to invite good, unknown players to help more unknown players and help each other out in getting better and getting known
Well this is my thank you for making that possible in the near future over you "home" and platform!
Denk und Auf Wiedersehen! Thanks and good bye! 
Ian C.

I kind of see where you're coming from... I do agree that the protoss air upgrades are seldom used. However, neither are the T and Z ones. I think that, in the future, this may be a way to balance things. Right now though, I feel like P is either going to have to "always" make 2x the upgrades which may work but doesn't make sense, or, we'll see a hell lot of more rays/pheonixes, which in my opinion isn't needed since we've started seeing them more.. I don't know, it's an interesting idea!

Terrans upgrade +Air attack in most TvP's that go long. Zerg's tend to always upgrade +air attack in tvz and to a lesser extent pvz.

It's true that both T and Z more often upgrade their airunits than P, however, the airupgrades are by all races the least favored. I feel that with the current Meta game that resolves around an extensive use of Colossi, the P airupgrades would be a lot more important than the T and Z.
I agree that it would be cool to see P upgrade their air more often, I doubt this is the way to go though..

As far as the collosus having their attack/armor from air upgrades I pose the following thoughts/question.
-to get fully upgraded colossus you need basically entire tech tree, gate, forge(for shields), twilight (+2 shield),cyber, robo, collosus den, stargate for fleet beacon and fleet beacon for +2 air, seems too much.. -can collosus fly? No they can only cliffwalk. -can collosus shoot air? No (neither can banshee)
Written on my phone, not meant to sound brash, just food for thought.

hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows of someone who has been promoted in the past 3 or so days?
Myself and friends are all boasting ridiculous win/loss ratios but not getting promotions, and I heard about the grandmaster leagues being frozen due to a bug... so I thought maybe that would explain what's going on in these lower levels?
any truth to this? Do I just need to go win more, lol?
|
I believe it's locked at the moment. I cant see the top 200 in game right now. Nice record 40-10 is beastly in masters league. Keep it up.

How many marines does it take to kill a Banshee? Is there a nice calculator/graph of all these unit matchups?
|
Is there any sort of VODs or stuff from previous Blizzcon (does the Virtual Ticket for Blizzcon come with VODs for viewing later or do you have to watch it live)? Also if there are VODs are there any way to purchase last years?
Basically is Virtual Ticket "live only" (it stops going on sale after Blizzcon ends because there isn't anything else to obtain, no VODs, or anything)?
Also I have another question, what happened to Karune (he used to post the Q&A batches and also was a CM for WC3 too).

Does anyone have a good long term build for terran? I always do timing attacks/ all ins.

Any thing that takes me to three or four raxes. One factory and starport makes me very happy. I mean more or less you drop production as you go countering your opponent. But bio is awesome

Are you asking for help in the Terran vs Terran MU? and; You mention that you "always do timing attacks/ all ins" but didn't say whether you prefer builds of this nature, or more defensive/macro oriented builds.
By being able to clearly define what you are looking for, the easier it would be for everyone to help.

??? Try putting more effort in your post and maybe we could actually figure out what the heck your talking about.
What race are you? Are you terran? If so then against what? And if not what race are you?

When do the previews for Heart of the Swarm come out? I thought it was this weekend.

Hai all I would ask that someone from the Liquid clan can help me to be better in Starcraft to because I think the Liquid clan is the clan with the best Teachers in hoping of an answer, your Chocowalkie.
