Q: What is this thread?

A: General purpose, SC2 discussion thread.

Q: What should I be posting about?
A: Basically, anything you want to talk about but aren't sure if it warrants a topic of its own. Heard a rumour you want to share? A new video? A question you are sure is super common but can't find the answer to via searching? A brilliant new idea that you want to vet, to make sure it's really as brilliant as you think it is?

This is the place.


Note:
Posting standards will not be as high as if you were to make a new thread, but pointless spam will still not be tolerated. I have seen threads like these work out alright on other sites (for other games) so I figured, why not give it a shot? It's possible there's not really enough content for something like this to exist at this point in time, but no harm then, it will just die on its own.

No one made a thread for the Latin America Battle.net Invitational, I am lazy so instead of making one I will ask someone to make one.

Thanks <3

At least 2 brazilians will be there, one of them being Reason, Catz will be there as well.

Anyway, who can make a thread for us?

Yes and no. On one hand, it's almost useless to scout if what you see isn't going to change what you do. Those extra resources can be used to get either better scouting tools faster or move your strategy forward earlier (expands, timing push, etc.).

As far as upgrades are concerned, they are an investment, just like tech and economy. If you can stay alive long enough to utilize an upgrade advantage over your opponent, then they are worth the cost.

I posted this in the July thread just a few minutes before the August thread came up. Hope it's not bad to repost in such a case, but I doubt anyone will see the post in the old thread.


Is there a coaching thread/forum where people evaluate coaches, and coaches advertise, looking for students?

There's all kinds of random crap in this forum, but it's free coaching, which usually implies waiting around and not being sure if you'll ever get coached.

I'm willing to pay up to $25 per hour (2 hours per week), for high-masters coaching, but would like a way to easily compare different coaches. And I would definitely want to see a VOD(s) of the person coaching before hiring. It would be so cool if a website organized all that, with ratings, etc. (if this doesn't exist, and someone out there reading this is looking for a side-project, do this! )

I already responded to your question Zergoaster. Look in the sponsored forum.

I don't know about evaluations, but there is: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=252349

They might replays up somewhere, maybe worth asking them if you're interested? Or I guess you could always make a thread and see who responds.

I just played two Protosses, both on Typhon Peaks, both who tried to relocate their nexus after I destroyed theirs originally. We didn't really trade armies, so it's really weird--do they think that I'm just going to sit at their old base and twiddle my fingers? I mean, it's happened with other races too, it's just that it's happened to me recently with Protoss, which is why I'm pinpointing them. Sorry, but it's just really annoying...

Well I mean I basically play wackamole in ZvT. Every time Terran shows up at a expansion I'm making another one some where. Unless I'm using it was a decoy to go kick their natural while they kill a third

I don't know what to tell you. I mean If Protoss just sits there they lose. In fact they're already behind if there are marines and tanks and all sorts of Terran shit sitting in their natural on top the wreckage of a nexus. But if they don't expand again.. what plan could they have? One base colossus and pray you forget how to make vikings?

Or maybe I'm seeing it wrong.

Why do Wolf/DOA say that immortals are good against immortals (reference: DRG vs Inca, game 2)? It takes like 15 shots...

I uh.. I missed them saying that. I don't know I guess they meant it takes both of them a long time to kill each other so they can target other things without worrying about the immortal so they cancel each other out.. I guess

I have no idea wtf they meant.

does anyone find it annoying that you fall down in the ladder so fast now, for not playing the game. I sign off at 2am eastern time as a level 23 then by 5pm the next day i've gone down to level 40 in the division. I find this frustrating when trying to climb the ladder. Its almost as if you have to play endlessly and never sleep.

Your ladder rank doesnt actually matter very much. Just keep winning and keep your bonus pool low and you will be fine.

You were placed in a new division. Everyone has no points at the start so the division will be incredibly volatile for a few more weeks. I've gone from (qualifying) 3rd to 8th to 4th to 12th to 5th to 33rd and I think I'm somewhere between 20 and 30 right now.

It'll slow down just as drastically soon.

This is all true.

However, later on in the last season, I was really active and finally took #1 from some guy who played less than 100 wins (i had like 250) and when he finally noticed. after not playing for weeks, he played a few games and with his huge bonus pool shot way past me -_- I worked to hard to "catch up," meaningless as it may be, but then bonus pool worked against me in short order. All that meant is that my division rank was #2 instead of 1, but it's that bone for which some of us slave away.

I've been seeing a few high level pvz's where they cannon rush the zerg natural then just play the rest of the game out. Does it help that much? I just feel with few pylons and a cannon for them to just cancel the hatch. I was just wondering what everyone else thinks about it.

That sucks Ansinjunger. I've had that happen to me before. Look on the bright side, at least the person that was ranked 1st in your divis didn't have a full thousand points more than anyone else. (It was NOT masters lol)

I'm forced to get fast roaches, delay my economy and I can't expand. You are set back quite a lot of minerals early on but are completely safe from attack while cannon cheesing and afterwards you can afford to expand and defend it. There's no real downside to cannon cheese. I mean if your opp responds perfectly they can force you up your ramp but a stargate followup...

Cannons in zergs natural you're ahead.
