If a forcefield lasts 15 blizz seconds, then how many sentries would you need to be able to effectively perma forcefield a ramp? Sorry I couldn't find this with the search function... | ||

I must completely disagree with you. let me go to one extreme on this. please bare with me. what if stephen hawking loved to watch starcraft and knows all build time, timing attacked and little intricacies that the game has to offer by watching all high level replays. he will very likely have some very good insight into how this game works, but there is no way he will be able to execute well enough to get out of bronze. now i know its an extreme example but there is a hige difference in understanding something and being able to execute something. I agree in some cases a comment is warranted from a "pro" player towards a "noob" but this attitude towards lower level player is almost a given nowadays. Let's say this "lower" player really has some valuable information then you lose out on something. or even if the words he says dont really make sense, his idea can spark a whole nother train of thought in yourself which might lead to some awesome discoveries. people shouldnt think because they are better that they are the only ones able to come up with fresh ideas. -hops off soap box | ||

Why is there a 3 months waiting time to get your stream up here? I just started playing (2 weeks or so, in platinum) and I'm a big fan of streaming, been doing it in various games and would like to get right to it with sc2. But wth? I really see no reason whatsoever to why there is a 3 month waiting time? :S | ||

A three month waiting period seems like a good deterrent to keep the crazies away. But honestly, we can watch Master/Grandmaster streams all day long. What would a platinum player bring to the table? | ||

If they are interesting and commentate while playing. I think it would be something people may enjoy. The 3 month period is so people don't just show up, start streaming then disappear. I am not sure what WellPlayed.org 's rules are but you may be able to get your stream listed there while you wait. | ||

Im a random player mostly but sometimes switch to toss when i dont want to run the chance of rolling terran. But, i completely dislike getting collosus, so i rarely every get them. I am in platinum at the moment. but do you all think you absolutely need to get a lot more collosus if you want to continue rising up the ladder? lately with the archon buff i have been having some success with chargelots archon and whatever other mix is needed in the matchup. interested to hear if i need to get collosus to continue moving up the ladder. | ||

Hey, it's possible but there are going to be some tricky timings if you want to avoid collosus. In PvT I find going for high templars on one or two bases is just not enough, you really seem to need the gas off of 3. So there is going to be a period where you are fighting stimmed bio with lots of medivacs (he has no need to produce vikings) and it will hurt badly. If you just get a couple collosus out on two base you can hold bio armies off much more easily and heavily reduce that medivac count, robo facilities not making collosus are still awesome, warp prisms, observers and immortals are sweet. Chargelot Archon is pretty good in pvp apparently, I have been going for stargates, which is fun but I wouldnt really recommend it yet. Immortal stalker sentry or immortal templar is definitely good in PvZ. If there are fast hydralisks you might not end up getting high templar out fast enough, so use them sentries! Also remember dts are a good opener if you want to get out high templar. Look in liquipedia and the strategy section for builds. Collosus are not necessary except maybe for a bit in pvt if they go heavy bio/medivac but they are good. Edit: I'm ranked high diamond so you can go up a ways on the ladder without them. | ||

Check Liquipedia for this kind of information. The sentry page directly gives you the answer: 6 sentries. Energy regens at 0.5625 energy per game second; one force field costs 50 energy and lasts 15 seconds. Thus, 1 sentry regens 50 energy in 89 seconds and you need 6 sentries to regen 50 energy in 15 seconds. | ||

Other casters, for example sentries, will instantly lay forcefield as many as their energy allows. But if I try to heal multiple units using queens or use snipe ability in quick succession they don't register even if they have excess energy. Is it by design? If so, which casters have these built-in casting delay that prevents multiple castings? its because the ability goes off at the end of an animation rather than the start, its by design. | ||

One example was in Nestea vs Inca GSL May final game 2 where Incas DT on move command into nesteas base gets blocked at the ramp by a single Queen and just runs on the spot infront of it. Another is a game I had on scrap station where the rocks at my natural had been taken down and I was blocking it with a queen and roach on hold position. I tried to transfer drones from my nat to my 3rd but they all ran into my makeshift wall instead of going around. Is this a new bug or has this shitty pathing always been part of the game? | ||
