Random question: When two identical units, in particular workers, attack each other what dictates who gets the killing blow? Assuming that both have equal vision, upgrades, etc. This question arose from games where two scouting probes are attacking each other in synchronization(from appearances) yet one walks away the victor. Maybe it's possible to have simultaneous kills but I haven't seen it. Obviously missle units can kill each other simultaneously, so I'm not too worried about that scenario. My theory was that it had something to do with who had an attack command issued first even if both had to travel to attack, or maybe it was the last one to enter a straight line into combat loses, a la moving around terrain or reversing to attack the chasing probe. If no one can provide an answer I'm totally up for testing this but I need a partner. Well, I can definitely tell you it has nothing to do with whom issed the atk-command first. I regularly win worker battles with my scouting SCV by running around the enemy base and suddenly attack move into the enemy worker's direction. I actually think there is no pattern to it. Whoever gets into attack range first (which sounds silly with melee units) gets off the first hit and wins (unless you are fighting a zerg = health regen). | ||

It will reset. It is different. Your MMR won't drop if you are inactive, but innactivity does have to do with the whole system (matchmaking) in ways we are not sure, so you might face lower players because you are excessive inactive, yeah, it could be, but we don't know for sure.  | ||

I thought it was a general bug, but some people are still posting in the foruns. Is someone bugged just like me or should I actually worry? ;_; I am not in my gaming PC so I can't test if I can still log in the game, but if I go to account it says I have my 2 accounts + PTR, no problem. Edit: I send a ticket and the guy said my 2 accounts are conflicting ;_; I'll try to migrate one NA account to EU and see if that fixes it =/ Edit2: My NA account has just been removed and I can post again (with the LA account). | ||

Anyone know what game it was? lol that's so vague...was it a game in the IPL? What are the headphones they use at the GSL? Are the headphones used in tournaments just used exclusively for blocking any outside noise, or are they noise-canceling headphones that somehow enhance the sound of the ear buds? | ||

Also, isn't wearing both ear buds and headphones uncomfortable? Can't they wear just the headphones, or are the ear buds also required for the noise cancelling? | ||

But they did not mention a specific game. Anyone know if it was code A, team league? or maybe some other game? | ||

I have no idea...I would think so, but it looks like the norm...every tournament I've streamed shows players with that set up. MLG and Blizz invitationals don't have the headphones that light up but it's still big, noise-canceling/reducing headphones. I just got promoted (to silver! Woohoo!!) and I was wondering what the points are...so in my new division, it shows my current rank, my points, and my wins. The wins is my win total for this season, so that makes sense. The points are a little more than my points that I originally though. Are those points my point total minus bonus pool points? Or some arbitrary MMR based thing? | ||

Anyway, i recently switched from Protoss to Terran because i felt like my race was limiting me too much. Just today i sieged protosses natural while droping BF hellions into his mineral line, while nuking his 3rd and when he moved out, his army got EMP'd and obliterated. So much posibilities that are cost effective. 1 medivac of marines killing few probes, then sniping templar archives, then killing some probes again, then sniping robo... god, this race is so good. | ||

Dariusz you remind me of what it was like at launch. EMPing two Protoss armies on Twilight Fortress at my teams ramp and counter pushing all the way to their base. God it was fun back then! | ||
